he could bring the boy back. No fee

Budget Estimate
Seen Extravagant
And Discouraging

The 81 .5-billiOn- dollar budget eS-
innate submitted by President Tru-
man is the most eXtravagant and
discOuraSinS ever proposed in
pcacetimc." Earl Bunting, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, asserted last week
1t represents an annual eXpendi-
ture of $1,000-four times the i'm
mediate prewar tigure-for every
family in the u. S, Mr.. Bunting
pointed out, adding:
This increase is not to be found
merely i'll the expenses incident to
the war. Leaving out the amount
proposed for the Army and Navy
veterans and interest on the public
debt. this budget reflects an in
crease CT a percent over the i'm
mediate prCWar year. 1t is sad
reflection on the administration to
assume that in the second wear
following the end of hostilities. that
peacctime expenditures cannot be
reduced below this figure"
Hopes Vanish
The principal point that needs to
be made. Mr.. Bunting emphasized,
is the impact that such a budget
must have upon the American pub
lie. For months the public has been
looking forward to relief from the
burdenSOmc load of war taxes. If
this budget is adopted. he declared.
these hopes so out the window.
Not only does the President pro-
pose nothing in the way of tax re
lief and nothing in the way OF debt
reduction, but, actually, in this
proposal the government would
spend $2 billion more than it col
lectS in taXeS--this difference be-
ing made up Gy anticipated recov-
cries from the sale of war sur
pluses." the NAM head declared.
1T is unbelievable that the AM
erican public, through the Con-
SreSS. will accept such q financia
program at this time. AS Presi-
dent Truman said in his annual
message TO Congress. the country
today is blcSsd with FULL employ
ment, recOrd-breaking peacetimc
production. and the largest Ma
tiOnal income in our history.
"'TO keep these economic circum-
stances favorable. certainly the
American public has Il right to de-
mand sufficient economy in govern
ment to make substantial tax relief
possible and still leave Il surplus
from tax revenue adequate to start
paying off the public debt.
by this budget the executive
branch of the government shows it,
self incapable of putting through
an economy program in the inter
est of the American people. Clear.
ly. if the American citizen is tC
get the tax relief necessary to as
sure a continuation of full EN-.
pl0yment and prosperity. it will bt
up to the new Congress to supply
that relief"

BY WILLARD CARLTON

Suppose by some miracle, taxes
were abolished.
OF course. no such miracle is
going to happen.
But. if it should. the average
American family income would au
tomatically be increased by 80
percent!
Everybody knows that taxes are
high. But it's still astonishing to
realize just HOW high.
Ip ~ Times!
The married man whose net in
come was $4,000 last year. paid 173
times as much in Federal income
taxes as he would have had to pay
on the same income in 1929.
The $1,000 man paid 120 times
as much; the $4,000 man 40 times
as much.
But this is only part of the story.
All these men paid other Federal
taxes at vastly increased rates.
Nuisance taxes imposed on hun
dredS of items they purchased
ranging from electric light bulbs
to ci%aretteS--were more than II
times those imposed in 1929.
The national income, upon which
taxes have increased 13 fold, has
not even doubled. The total re-
ceipts of the Federal Treasury are
approximately Is times as much as
the boom year of 1929.
Today, on the average, each
family in the l. & is having 81 2OO
in taxes, direct and indirect. to.

her brothers voice.
1t was coming over Hoffman's

After long two-way conversa-
tiOn, Mrs. Bender said:
That was the best reception
have ever heard on an amateur
set, even back to my brothers high
school days in 1925 when he operat-
ed one of the first ham stations in
the Bronx, known as 2BAD." And
she asked Hoffman how he knew
where she lived. .
II didn't" he replied. Not until

Hoffman, who lives in Garfield

cruising around and picking up
other amateur stations. He was
driving through MapleWood when
an answer to his co" call came

his position as Maplewood. Bam-

We must clean out the present mis-
