Flow of Money
to the Treasury
Showing a Gain
Shrinkage Shown in Deficit Under
Influence of Tax Collection;
Optimistic Outlook.
Washington. Feeling at last the
influence of income tax collections,
the deficit for the current fiscal year
is shrinking. In the six day3 from
Sept. 14 to Sept. 20 it fell from 24G
million dollars to 192 million, a drop
of 54 million and treasury officials
estimate that some 40 millions of
September income tax collections
have Etill to be reported.
In addition, the daily statements
of the treasury are showing a sur
plus for the month thus far. It stood j
at $36,000 on Sept. 20, the last date
reported, while the comparable per
iod of a year ago showed expendi
tures -were running 102 minions
above receipts.
Secretary Woodin is highly opti
mistic regarding the outlook for the
remainder of the fiscal year.
He would not be surprised, he has
said, if the result is the first surplus
since 1930. All the categories of rev
enue are trending upward, he said,
and he expects a big improvement
in income tax collections when March
and June payments fall due. Sup-
i
porting his contention the treasury
made public a compilation of inter
nal revenue receipts for August,!
showing a total collected of $149,-
707,708 as compared with $130,732,-
608 for July and $79,940,310 for
August, 1932. Beer taxes jumped
$830,549, totalling $15,049,564 fot
August as compared with $14,219,-
015 for July. Gasoline tax receipts
rose from $15,799,053 to $22,420,
634. Gains were shown as well in
tax collections on cigars, cigarets
capital stock, dividends and other
classifications.
If the enormous emergency expen
ditures in connection with the recov
ery program are deducted from the
figures for the fiscal year thus far,
the result shows receipts well above
the treasury's ordinary outlays. The
statement for Sept. 20 listed total re
ceipts since the fiscal year began at
$609,888,S97, ordinary expenditures
at $535,791,170, emergency expendi
tures at $266,879,707 and total ex
penditures of $802,670,878.
By comparison on the same date a
year ago, receipts totaled Z4U,-
057, ordinary expenditures $785,
972,531, emergency expenditures
$279,832,695 (all thru the RFC) and
total expenditures 11,065,805,226

RULING ON BONDS ISSUED
Washington. The federal trade
commission made public an opinion
holding that purchasers of misrepre
sented stocsk or bonds can recover un
der the new securities law up to the
purchase price of the security from
the underwriter. The commission
made public a letter from B. B. Bane,
chief of its. securities division, to an
unnamed underwriter who asked
about liabilities under the law, where
a misstatement was made.
Bane said that there is nothing to
prevent the purchaser of a stock re
belling iu an effort to cut his losses
but that," if "fce-'kag "disposed of the
eeeunty at a price, no damages would
be recoverable." a. ' Li If

State Fair
Cannot Pay Its
Bills in Full
Grand Stand Receipts Paid on Bonds
Now Totals $59,465 Ex
penses Were Cut.
State fair receipts, including grand
stand receipts, total $53,903.71, said
Secretary Reed. If the grand stand
receipts amounting to $9,312.45
could be used to pay expenses, Reed
said the board of managers could pay
all expenses of the fair, totaling $54,-
410.09, as there is a little rent money
in sight.
As evidence that the fair board
has cut expenses he said the expense
of the fair last year was $77,786.
It will be necessary to pro rate
the cash now on hand between claim
ants. The board must first deduct
from its cash the $9,312.45 of grand
stand receipts, which go to pay grand
stand bonds, and also to deduct some
items of expense for labor which are
not pro ratable and which could
properly be classed either as labor or
maintenance expenditures. Reed does
not know the amount of these claims
fct this time and cannot now esti
mate the amount on the dollar which
will be paid to claimants.
The $250,000 of grand stand bonds
were issued in . 1929 under authority
of the legislature, and sold to pri
vate parties, the receipts of the grand
stand being pledged for their pay
ment. Reed said the fair board this year
paid out more for entertainment in
front of the grand stand than the re
ceipts of the stand amounted to, yet
it cannot use any of the receipts for
expenses of the fair. Since the bonds
were issued $12,500 was paid on the
principal. The total paid by the fair
board to the trust company on the
bonded debt now totals $59,465.98,
including the grand stand receipts
for this year. Part of the receipts of
the grand stand this year go to pay
interest on the bonds which was not
paid last April, Reed said. The in
terest on the bonds annually is about
$13,000, he said. The receipts of
the grand stand are turned over ot
the First Trust company of Lincoln,
he said.
Reed made this statement:
"If we were able to use the $9,
312.45 of receipts from the grand
stand toward the expenditures for
1933 we would be able to pay out in
full. On account of the drastic cut
in the appropriation for maintenance
as allowed by the 1933 state legisla
ture, it has been necessary to include
in our expenditures some items of ex
pense that have heretofore been taken
care of out of the maintenance fund.
"The rules and regulation for the
1933 Nebraska state fair as included
in our premium list s-rtes as follows:
'If the receipts of the 1933 state fair
are not sufficient to pay expenses in
full, such expenses may be pro-rated.
This rule shall not apply to labor."
As labor claims must be paid in full
this will necessitate cutting down the
pro-rata share of all other claims."

U. S. to Purchase
Surplus Stocks
to Help Needy
President Roosevelt Orders Use
$75,000 for Speedy Aid
T-vo-Fold Aim.
of
"Washington, Sept.. 21. Purchase
of surplus foodstuffs and staples for
distribution to the nation's needy was
ordered tonight by President Roose
velt. lie directed agricultural adjust
ment and federal relief administra
tors to speed this program with the
two-fold purpose of stabilizing glut
ted markets and feeding the unem
ployed. It was emphasized by Mr. Roose
velt that this relief is to be in addi
tion to that already being extended
by federal, state and local author
ities. It i3 to be given particularly
to those areas where the president
now considers the food and clothing
for the needy totally inadequate.
Buy in Open Market.
The products under consideration
for purchase include beef, dairy and
poultry, cotton and cotton seed.
The government will buy in the
open market. A rough estimate
placed the total cost of the under
taking at about 75 million dollars.
The cotton purchased will be manu
factured into clothing.
These foodstuffs and clothing will
be in addition to the 100 million
pounds of cured pork the government
is giving to the unemployed from
hogs purchased under a plan already
in operation.
Wants Needy Cared for.
The relieef move fits into the gen
eral Roosevelt attack upon surpluses
that have been smothering prices.
The president also expressed the de
termination that the 3.500,000 on re
lief rolls shall be cared for.
At his desk in his study, the pres
ident announced the relief program
late today. He read over a prepared
announcement later given out by his
secretary, Stephen T. Early, and then
discussed it with newspapermen.
Mr. Roosevelt said he considered
the program one of the most direct
blows at the economic paradox that
hda left farms burdened with an
abundance of food products while un
employed have gone hungry.
Speed Is Demanded.
In the effort to reduce the sur
pluses, the administration has been
negotiating for the sale of wheat and
cotton abroad.
The president made it clear that
he wanted the departments concern
ed to expedite in every possible way
their combined attack, on the food
surplus and hunger problems.
Secretary Wallace and Harry Hop
kins, the federal relief administra
tor, are now in Chicago and early
moves by them are in prospect.

Prosperity's
Return is Seen
by Harriman
Continual Growth in Retail Trade
Alone Needed, Says U. S. C. of
C. Head in Omaha.
The American public's enthusiasm
for the new deal, crupled with cer
tain new national legislation and the
normal working of economic forces,
all of which have combined to change
the psychology of the people from de
pression to hope, have brought about
a sharp improvement In business con
ditions since last March, said Henry
I. Harriman, president of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, in Omaha
Thursday.
Harriman, with 15 other directors
of the national chamber, stopped in
Omaha several hours en route to
Colorado Springs for the board's fall
meeting. They planned to stop their
special Rock eland train only a few
minutes in Omaha, but changed their
minds "just to get a chance to play
golf in this swell Nebraska weather,"
Harriman said.
Harriman feels improvement In
the retail business, if it continues,
"will tell the story of the return of
prosperity." He lauded the "Buy in
September" and "Buy American'
campaigns and declared that retail
sales are up 15 per cent since last
March.
Harriman declared the directors
were watching with interest the
working of the national recovery and
agricultural adjustment acts. He an
ticipated many changes in present
plans will be necessary later.
Most of the party lunched at the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce and
played golf at the Omaha Country
club as guests of C. C. George, form
