The Tax Outlook

Because single burden imposed by the
war has been more distressing than taxes,
whatever is said by competent judges concern
ing the tax outlook demands public attention
1t is pertinent therefore, to offer our readers
the comment Of the New York Times on the
subject:
both Chairman George of the Senate Fl
nance Committee and Chairman Doughton Of
the House Ways and Means Committee have
indicated that they expect no major change in
tax rates during 1915. An analysis Of the Gov
ernment's expenditures and revenues indicates
they are on good ground in this prediction Dur
Ing the current fiscal year expenditures are
expected to exceed $4,000 600, Ooo while reve-
nues will be about $45, 0OO DOC, OOo So long as
the European war continues it seems probable
that we shall take in about 81 in revenues
for every 81 spent Under such conditions any
reduction in taxes would be out OF the question.
1t would be more in order to have higher rather
than lower taxes.
What about the period after We day? EST
mates have been made that cutback Of A

Ger cent to 50 per cent In war production WILL
take place at that time. It Is important to
realize that there will not be an equivalent re-
duction In the rate Of Government spending.
Some types Of expenditures will not be reduced
signific antly. Illustrations include running the
Government at home and interest on the pub
lie debt. Moreover, during that period, pay
rncnts will have to be made 10 settled ter
minated contracts. 1t seems probable, therefore
that the maximum decline in Government ex-
penditures will be about one-third, or from the
annual rate OF $780, ooo DOC, 900 to about $780, ooO,

During this same period the tax yield will
also decline because Of the lower earnings

Flue-Cured Tobacco
Prices Drop a Little
By The Associated Press

Prices declined slightly on old
belt fue-cured tobacco markets
yesterday, but were generally
steady on eastern and middle belt
auction centers, the War Food ad-
ministratlon reported. All mar
kets closed on a successful week ct
sales, however, with market aver
ages only a few cents below those
of last week.
VIA said that the downward
trend in old belt prices affected all
grades but that in no instance
was the loss more than 81 per
hundred from Thursdays average.
Sales were heavy, with the bulk OF
offerings composed Of good to low
leaf, good to fair cutters and
smoking leaf.
Thursdays sale on old belt mar
kets totaled 4,594,702 pounds at an
average of $4496 per hundred. The
season total through the same date
was set at 5,878,0 24 pounds
which brought $41.99.

Cigaret Supply Depends

MAN TELLS OF LIFE
ON 81 CENT WAGES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-tR-
A middle-aged textile worker to-
day described the difficulties OF
supporting a family on 81 IL cents
an hour.
John Vernon Of Danville, Va,
one of a dozen or more workers
presented by CLIO officials in sup
port of proposed legislation which
would declare straight-time wages
of less than IS cents n hour to
be sub-standard, testified before a
Senate labor subcommittee.
Vernon, dressed in a worn blue
suit, told the committee on war
time health and education that he
formerly had a better job as a
weaver in the plant where he had
worked Is years. He was denoted,
he said, when he refused a compa-
ny request to tend go looms instead
of 43.
Under questioning by Senator
Pepper (D-Fla), who presided, and
by Solomon Barkin, research di-
rector of the Textile Workers I'm
ion, Vernon told of his humble liv-
ing quarters, with cooking done in
room where three of his children
sleep, of a $50 grocery bill he has
been unable to pay, and Of inabili-
ty to purchase clothing for himself
and wife.
Earlier, CLIO officials had submit
ted voluninous testimony support
ing the bill, which was introduced
by Senator Pepper.
Emil REEVE, CLIO vice president
contended that if a downward
wage spiral were allowed to get
underway with a contraction Of
production at the end of the year.
the result would affect 1000, 900
workers and would cost about S.
100000, 900 year, on the basis Of
1943 wages.
It will not in itself be adequate
te close the gap in buying power
but would be considerable contri-
button to this end" he said.
Barkin presented an endorse

Civil Service For Veterans

Recommendations designed to protect the in
terests of war veterans in entering or returning
to government employment, as well as the
public interests in the continuing OF sound
civil service, are contained in report OF
committee on veteran employment policies SUD-
united to the Civil Service Assembly OF the
U, S. and Canada.
Issued as an aid to merit system adminlstra.
tors in shaping their policies on the subject
of veterans preference in public service the
recommendations called for the adjustment OF
administrative policies and procedures OF pub
lie personnel to facilitate veteran rehabilitation
to the fullest extent possible.
The committee urged that employees on mill
tary leave be reinstated or reemployed in for
q er positions or in similar position and stress
ed that they be given all rights and privileges
they would have received had they continued
in their civil positions, including pay raises,
seniority credits, etc. Employees disabled dur
Ing military service should whenever possible
be fitted into jobs for which they are qualified.
Among its recommendations regarding the
substance Of veterans preference policies. the
Committee touched upon the following points:
/. Veterans preference policies should
recognize the democratic principle OF open
competition for public employment on the
basis of merit and fitness, and should not
by their terms or operations serve to ex-
clude unduly the rising generation from its
rightful opportunity for public employment.
