Gallagher, County 39-3 Clerk, Holt County. "national affairs By Frank P. Litschert Eventual exhaustion of govern ment credit is threatened by the policy of meeting relief needs thru borrowing, it is now claimed on good authority. This, however, it is pointed, can be averted by the adoption of less expensive relief measures, curtailment of ordinary expenditures so as to permit the inclusion of relief payments in the ordinary budget, and a general lowering of wage rates throughout the nation so that business can afford to absorb the unemployed. The federal budget submitted to congress on January 7 provided more than ample justification for all the fears expressed in various quarters during the past year that expenditures must be curtailed dur in the current year, that no at tempt will be made to balance the budget this year, and that the in crease in the debt will not be halted before it reaches the highest peak in our annals or of $31,833,000,000. Instead of balancing the budget in the fiscal year 1935-36 as was planned a year ago, the government now proposes to spend $8,520,000, 000, or practically as much as dur ing the current fiscal year. Even though the government hopefully expects some increase in receipts, receipts will no doubt fail by almost as wide a margin to meet the ex penditures next year as they prom ise to do during the current year. The deficit next year is estimated at this time at §4,528,000,000. It may be more. At the same time, new borrowings next year are ex pected to total $3,152,000,000, which is a substantial figure. The public debt next year will be thus increas ed to another new high record of $34,239,000,000, if not more. The prospective increase in the public debt is one of the most dis couraging aspects of the economic outlook. This year the adminis tration made no statement as to when it expected to balance the budget as it did last year. It in timated that the deficit would con tinue as long as there was need for relief since the abandonment of relief was out of the question and since no attempt would be made to meet relief needs out of the ordi nary budget as is done in England. In view of this policy, it is ditli ' ult to -iee how til; budget can ever be balanced since, under pre vu ’ing conditions, the tendency is toward the maintenance of relief rather than toward the curtailment. Relief payments tend to perpetu ate the need for relief by prevent ing the proper adjustment of wages and prices to the lead that would eliminate unemployment. This does not call for the suspension of relief payments but it docs call for the recognition of the natural effect of relief payments and consequent ly the voluntary making of adjust ments which the abandonment of relief would make compulsory. The trend, however, has been in the opposite direction. Wage rates were arbitrarily raised under the NRA. are now being maintained at this level, and labor is seeking still further increases through wage increases and through a 30 hour week. As long as wage rates are kept at an artifically high level, there will be unemployment and the need for the continuation of relief payments. NOT ALL ARE TAX DODGERS We read a great deal about “the big bad” corporations which have employed “crooked lawyers’’ to in veigle the federal government out of ta$es by falsifying tax reports. But little do we read, about the “big” corporation that through er ror has overpaid his taxes. Every year a long list of refunds for overpaid taxes is compiled by the United States Department of Internal Revenue at Washington, I). C. Strangely enough, when these refunds are made during a republican administration a wild outburst is heard on Capitol Hill, and it is claimed that crooked poli ticians are doling out the Ameri can taxjayers money to friendly big business campaign contributors. There may be something to that, but it has never been proven. Andrew Mellon only recently battled with the administration now in power when the new administra tion charged that Mellon was hold ing out on taxes for his business concerns. When it was about all over Mr. Mellon discovered that there had been an error in his tax reports and that he had overpaid considerably. So, in retaliation^ he now threatens to sue for refund. Last year the democratic admin istration refunded $57,763,119.46 for overpaid taxes for 1932, and recently $48,664,202.20 for overpaid taxes for 1934. The New York Life Insurance Company, it is re ported, recentfy received a refund of $4,427,028 as overpayment for 1934. The Pennsylvania Railroad received $3,191,938; J. H. Hillman Company, of Pittsburg, $1,810,694; the Lackawanna Railroad Company, $1,526,149; and several smaller con cenrs received $500,000 or more. Since all of the “big bad” cor porations are accused of shaking down the government in tax mat ters, one begins to wonder how a concern even ns large as the New York Life could misfipure taxes to the extent of nearly four and a half millions. Those experts in faking tax returns we hear so much about have evidently overlooked several big bets in the above list ing. If anything it appears that the “big bad“ corporations are overly honest in their tax matters or how would one account for such as above. THE FALLACY OF “FREE MONEY’’ The American public has come to look on the Federal government as a financial Santa Claus, which goes on forever distributing the bounty of “free money’’ for one purpose or another. One of the proudest boasts of many elected officials is that they have been able to get this ap propriation or that for their state. Current plans call for an expend iture of some Sb,000,000,000 for public works by the Federal gov ernment. Much of this great sum will be distributed to the states, to spend for roads, relief, dams, pub lic buildings or some other public purpose. When the money has been spent, citizens will look at the imposing courthouse or superhigh way or whatever it created and think happily that it cost them nothing—that magical forces at play in Washington produced the money out of the air and. kindly passed it on. Well, that $5,000,000,000 will be raised thru the sale of Federal bonds. These bonds amount to a mortgage on every piece of prop erty in the nation—every home, farm, factory or investment. If the $5,000,000,000 is divided by the number of Congressional districts in the country, the share for each district amounts to about $12,000, 000. Every nickel of that money must be paid back by the American people thru taxation—and they must pay, in addition, many hun dreds of millions more in interest oil the government bonds. Probably few Congressional districts would burden themselves with a S12.000, 000 bond issue if it were proposed to vote such a debt against the district. Unhappily, there is no such thing as a financial Santa Claus—the tax money put in our stockings is taken out of our pocketbooks—plus interest. Flrct Envelope* Made in U. S. Unrelopes were first made In 1830 by a Mr. Pierson of New York city in a liiilc store on Fulton street. The fir.it envelope machine patent was granted January 23, 1840, to J. K. Park and C. S. Watson of New York. The first practical envelope folding nmchine^that was success* ful commercially was patented Jan uary 21, 1853, by Dr, Itussell L. Harris of Worcester, Mass. Win dow envelopes were devised by Thomas Callahan, patented June 10, 1002. __ Founding the Epworth League The Epworth league was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, May 13, 1889, by a group of five societies of Meth odist young people. No particular individual seems especially identi fied with the founding. The league takes its name from Epworth parish in England, where John Wesley, founder of Methodism, was born. It has grown rapidly, is represented in botli the Methodist Church North and South and has branches In a dozen foreign countries, including China. There are 30,(XX) chapters and 2,000,000 members.
