Given the spirit of Lindbergh, Tenn

Who knows, Jones might have laid
aside, at an appropriate age, the things
of youth, all the beautiful dreams. and
gone in for sterness and the voice of
command?
Men might have hated him, in their
hearts. but obeyed him.
Men might have cursed him, but done
what he said.
The results might have been far
reaching. (And then again. they might

with all his voice Of command. might

mot word Of truth to it." he said,
when accused.
Here is the story:
It was laid in local high school
room long time ago, when the adoles-
cent Temp Jones was studying French.
Probably it is nearer to the truth to
say that French was studying Jones.
Not that our hero disliked the Ian
guage. Even as youth he had enough
common sense to realize that it Is one
of the worlds best.
The essential rightnesS Of French
made him wish to know more about it.
One might think, then, that the
young Jones would have worked at the
subject. and been a delight to his
teachers.
If any one thinks that, he did not
know Temp Jones.
The young Jones shared with a mil
lion other young men q dislike for
studies.
This. too. despite the fact that he
made very good grades, except In
mathematics.
Latin was Greek to him, and heaven
knows what Greek was; he sampled

The estimated yield on these is So billion
annually.
It has been argued, perhaps correctly, that
the losses through these expirations will be
Offset in part, at least, by an improved yield
from the taxes remaining In force. Even the
present administration has expressed dissatis-
faction with the corporate excess profits tax
and there is a feeling that removal Of this levy
would lead to an increase in profits subject to
the regular corporate income tax. Similarly,
reduction Of excise taxes might increase the
turnover of goods, bringing maximum yield
through volume rather than through high rates.
Since the expiration dates for these taxes
extend into two fiscal years their automatic
termination would allow time for review and
reduction of expenditures. A more hasty. or
more drastic, tax-reduction program, at least
for the next fiscal year, would either force
greater curtailments in such fields as defense
spending which might prove dangerously un-
wise-or an extension of deficit fnancing-an
equally undesirable solution.

Expenditures Versus Revenue

Responsible Republican leaders of the new
Congress are being thoroughly realistic in stat
Ing that a downward revision in the Federal
budget should take precedence over any sweep
Ing reduction in the tax load. Chairman Bridges
of the Senate Appropriations Committee and
Majority Leader Halleck in the House so ex-
pressed themselves during the past week end.
Latest estimates of expenditures during the
current fiscal year run between SIS and $76
billion as against estimated receipts of slightly
less than $50 billion. President Truman's 1854
budget, due to go to Capitol Hill later this week.
Is expected to continue the deficit projection
by from Sc to $11 billion.
The first fiscal problem of the Congress,
after January co. will be to seek reductions in
this budget. President-elect Eisenhower. dur
ing his campaign, made it clear that one of
his first objectives would be to reduce Govern
ment spending. Following the Eisenhower Taft
meeting in September, the Ohio Senator said
that "our goal is about $40 billion in the fiscal
year 1854, and $50 billion in the fiscal year
1855. That would make possible reduction in
taxes to the $60-billion level for the year 1855.
OF course I hope we may do better than that"
The problem of reducing Government ex-
penditures to the $70billion level is not simple
one, but it is clearly not an impossible one.
The greatest opportunity, but the one that
requires the greatest care, is in the field of
defense expenditures. Again in his campaign,
General Eisenhower insisted that eve can have
more defense for less money and he has made
clear that an initial emphasis will be directed
at scrutinizing the military budget for savings
through more efficient spending. Foreign aid,
tied closely to military spending, also is due
for reappraisal. Other opportunities exist in
cutting back on commitments for which actual
disbursements have not yet been made, and
In reviewing the various programs of domestic
guarantees and subsidies.
However unless deficit financing is to be
continued-an unwise alternative during time
of business prosperity and full employment
the reduction of Government expenditures to
the $70-billion level offers only limited op-
portunity for tax reduction in the coming fiscal
year.
without action by the Congress three cur
rent levies, estimated to be yielding at the rate
of $85 billion annually, are due to expire by
April /, 1854. Their expiration will, of course,
affect the revenues for the fiscal years 1854
and 1855.
The first due to go-on June 80, 1953-is
the corporate excess profits tax. estimated to
Weld $25 billion annually. Six months later
on December 81, 1953-individual income taxes
are scheduled to come down by an average OF
II per cent The estimated extra yield Of the
present rates is So billion annually. On April
/. 1854, corporation income taxes are due to
drop by f1ve percentage points and certaineex-
else levies are scheduled to fall back to the
lower rates prevailing before the 1851 tax bill.
