TUB ALLIANCE HERALD rmm&DAY, novvmiugr. i. iti Four Billions In Annual Taxes Coming TfrwNMiry Official Rntlmato ThU Much AnntMl VHitfiuf Nivi sary Vor Ton to Corn Washington, D. C. Treasury ex-1 pert estimate that government fin astral nerd for mnny yean to eome are almrmt certain to run a boveN $4,000,000,000 annually and' that moat of the money will be rain-! d by taxation. Because of tihls students of gov ernment finances believe the taxea lmpoaed lam y-:ir and paid In .Inn-'1 probably will not Oe lightened ma-. terially by the advent of peace. Secretary McAdoo today warned that tttM neccHHtirlly would be i hiph for mnny yenra to pay off war debts, and that additional govern ment lonna would he requested. Hon e lily, treasury officials and con gresaional lenders In charge of rev--nae legislation figure this way: Ordinary government expenses, which ran around a billion dollars a 1 year before the war, will now amount to at least $2,000,000,000 Annually for mnnv Turn anil for torn or lhr years after the war may be double that figure. If the $16,8F0,000,000 of Liberty bonds already issued are Increased la volume nlrocdy Issued are to $25,000,000,000, the Interest on this um would amount to about $1,000, 000,000 a year. In addition, It proba bly will be the government's policy to establish a sinking fund to pay off the bonds of maturity, and this would require about $1,260,000,000 a year. These three items would make an ag gregate near $.4,250,000,000. To offset this there would be near ly k half billion dollar coming In an nually from the allies as Interest on their loans, which now amount to seven billons and are likely to run much higher; nnd revenue from customs and miscellaneous sourceB. which tnst year amounted to about $450,000,000. With allowances for wide varia tions in the calculations, there would still remain about $9,500 0C0 OOOto be raised from Internal reven ue taxes. Last year $$,641,000,000 came from Internal revenue, Includ ing $$.775,000,000 from Income and excess profits taxes This year these figures probably will be more than doubled. Factors which made this system of estimates highly tentative, officials point out, that the war Is not yet definitely over, so far as expense Is concerned, and that war debts, both of the Amorlc n povernment to the public and of the allied governments to the United States cannot be figur ed until then. The methods of applying taxes nfter the war ulso are receiving at tention. If the schedule of income taxes now being framed In the new i v'-nue bill works out well, it is considered probable that the bulk of after the war revenue will come from income levies, which next year will yield probably $2,3000,000.000. Ex cess profits taxes probably would automallcallly be abandoned after the war and liquor revenue will atop If the constitutional prohibition a mendment is ratified, and sooner with the passage of the "war time" prohibition bill. It is almost certain that the multitude of minor taxes now levied on transportation. Insur ance, admissions, club dues, and special taxes on certain businesses, now yielding comparatively little revenue and very difficult of ad ministration, will be abandoned. To bacco and estates taxes probably will remain, K Is said.

STRAIGNTFORWARD TESTIMONY The coal situation In Nebraskn and throughout the country at pres ent is so satisfactory tbat no state wide late opening nn early closing orders will be made by the fuel ad ministration this winter. This or der will remain in effect unless SSjsl conditions materially change. State administrators and state di rectors of conservation are In m advised by the Washington director of conservation that the fuel situa tion does not warrent such action. State administrator are expected to prepare orders from time to time to meet local conditions, and general recommendations along conserva tion lines are being sent out from Washington. Announcement in letter This announcement was made in a letter to all state aaministrators from G. N. Allen, acting director of conservation, United States fuel ad ministration, Washington. The let ter follows: "It has been decided that unless conditions materially change, no national order will be issued by the opening and closing hours of offices. stores and other mercantile estab-ment. "While such nn order would un doubtedly save considerable coal. especiay during Ihe winter, the great variation in local conditions make it prnctlcally Impossible to Issue a national order without work ing greater h.-.rdsLip on some parts of the country and on some classes of trade than present conditions warrant. We feel that except in tho case of an acute fuel shortage, the disruption of business and in convenience to the public caused by such an order would be out of pro portion to the coal saved. "The federal administration feels, further, that under present condi tions, no stp.te administrator would issue any opening or closing order regulating hours of offices, stores and other mercantile establishments and places of amusement, except to meet an acute shortage of fuel or power. When such a shoitage occurs in any locality, the state administration should draw up an order which. In his opinion, best meets such emergency, and have the order approved by Washington be fore putting it into effect. "It is desired that such orders be applied only to the localities in the state where this emergency oc curs. "While ruling against any rormal "closing order" to effect a fuel sav ing under present conditions, the fuel administration urges the adop tion of reasonable conservation measures that can be effected by voluntary agreement of any class or class of trade or industry. Al most everywhere unnecessary prac tices have grown up, the elimina tion of which will represent fuel saving, and which can be put into effct without injury to any one. The fuel administration is prepar ing some general recommendations for saving power, heat and light in the above mentioned establishments which, it is believed, can be put into effect without undue Inconvenience. These recommendations will b sent to the various stp.te administrators at an early date."
