The federal income tax measure is clear demon
that public opinion still carries lot of weight in
democracy
When the questions of putting taxes pay-asyougo
basis and forgvng 1912 incomes first came up,
there general GOODNESS toward such plans both in
congress and the Treasury department But the millions
of taxpayers of the country who had great difficulty saving
the money pay their income tax last March, were imme-
diately attracted to the idea.
People all over the country began writing to their SEN
aors and congressman saying that they wanted this plan

the proof of the fact that public opinion

Washington, D. G. - For the
first time since we began to pre-
pare for war, the President is ex-
pected to decrease his estimate
Of government expenses. Finan-
cial experts here predict that his
budget message, which will be
presented to congress when the
1914 session opens, will ask for
about 95 billion dollars for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915,
which is about IA billion less than
was his estimate for the current
year.
Although this budget request
will be the second largest in his
tory, all but five billion of the
amount requested will be for the
carrying on of the war. If So
billions of government eXpendi-
lures are approved, estimates of
governmnt revenue for the COM
ing year would mean a deficit OF
over 40 billion. Added to the
present deficit, the total by June
80, 1915, would be 235 billion
dollars-or almost $4,000 average
debt for every man, woman and
child in our country.
The budget for the coming year
is naturally figured on the pos
sibility that the war will contin-
ue until the middle of 1945. If
the war should end before that
time expenses might be decreased
somewhat, although conversion
to peacetime may be almost as
expensive as carrying on the war.
1t is also possible, however, that
even if the war continues ex-
penses may not be as great as
estimated. For during the COM
ing year the war and navy de-
partmentS now estimate that they
will spend Is billion less than
they were allotted and there
seems to be general tendency
toward the reduction of war ex-
penses. This is brought about
partly by the fact that we now
have such large supplies of some
items that production of them
can be curtailed. The action of
the maritime commission in clos
ing shipyards on Sundays, in Or
der to give workers day of rest
and at the same time reduce
heavy overtime expenses, is also
indicative of this trend.
On the other hand, the hourly
cost of labor is apt to be increas-
ed during the coming year as a
result of the government having
agreed to give coal miners a raise
plus the more recent action by
congress to increase the wages of

''See what fellows up against?"
Martin said Even old-timers can't
get ships. A youngster would have
no chance at ALL"
At the next stand he purchased
newspaper. He stood under neon
sign and opened it to the Want ads.
Look. Here are your shore jobs.
Wanted: an office boy. Must run
elevator. Wanted: boy to distribute
handbiIls. Wanted: soda clerk. Are
these anything for a fellow who
really wants a sea career-a mer-
chant officers career, the whole
world ahead of him, and a captains
berth at the end?" He threw down
the newspaper. I've made up my
mind. Come with me-" he said.
At a small hotel for sailors, he
turned in and inquired: Doyle stop

The clerk thumbed through the
register Number 1915"

room, Doyle sprang to his feet. He
had been stretched out on the mar
row bunk, his face buried in the
pillow.

Doyle's eyes were swollen and
red. 81 thought I'd rather stay here,
sir until after the holidays
Then I thought I'd get a ship-or a
shore JOB. I couldn't face them at
home, sir l just couldn't"

"Do as you're told" said Martin.
"Your case has been up for con-
sideration since the holidays started
last week. I've been thinking it
over carefully, and will veto the &C
ton of the Cadet Council. You're
tc report back to the school ship on
January third, with the others. It'll
be up to you to make good. Those
are orders"
The boys face was radiant. Hap
py New Year, sir! That's all I need
ed, sir, to change the whole world
for me-another chance at the school
ship!"
Funny old world" said George
Martin, superintendent Of the Nauti-
cal Training School, as he rejoined
his friend in the lobby. another

all Doyle needed to face New Year."

as if that ought to settle the matter.
''Cheer up. Let's so to the Officers
Club and join in the fun
George Martin shook his head. Be-
fore he could welcome the approach
of another year he had trouble
some decision to make. The crowd
ed streets, the milling people, the
babbling groups headed for Times
Square-none of these signs Of the
coming of 1914 had power to lift
him from his depression. His voice
was solemn.
''Look at my problem from the
personal angle" he said. Tell me,
Wallace, how would you feel if you
had been told you couldn't return
to the school ship after the holi-
days."
I'D feel bad, naturally. But not
as if the world had come to an end"
you're not a sailor" returned
Martin. You don't understand what
the school ship gets to mean to a
fellow. 1t gets in the blood

continued: you should have seen

railroad workers. With these
two groups of workers having
circumvented the little SteeP'
formula, which was set up to put
a ceiling on wages, there is every
reason to expect all powerful Ia
Dor groups to seek similar in
creaseS.
If wages continue to be increas-
ed, the danger of inflationary
prices will become much greater
and black markets undoubtedly
will be encouraged. Enforce
ment of OPA ceiling prices is be-
coming increasing difficult and
as consumer goods become scar
Ger and incomes larger the price
situation may get out of hand.
James F. Byrnes, director OF
war mobilization, who has been
leading the administrations fight
against initiation, considers the
present situation as "crisis on
the home 'front.' and is going di-
rectly to the voters in his effort
to curb the activities Of pressure
groups which are concerned only
with the welfare Of their parti-
cular field. Such groups from
labor, indutry and agriculture
are welding a great influence
over a vote-conscious congress
and, if all get the things they are
seeking, there is little question
but that prices will start sky
rocketing.
There is some INDIGESTION here
as to how the new draft bill,
making it mandatory to take all
single and married men without
children before taking fathers,
will work out, but it seems like
ly that complete combing Of in
dustry may be carried on to
draft those who are under Is and
exempted because they are in an
essential industry. There is in
creaSing sentiment for trying to
work out a practical place for re
placing those men by fathers.
