The intense Congressional in
terest in the President's court
plan, sit-down strikes and other
problems of national concern, do
not overshadow the fact that be
fore the end of the present ses
sion, members of Congress must
make a highly important decision.
That decision is whether Federal
expenditures shall be decreased
or whether they shall be maln-

tained at present or even higher
levels and new taxes levied to
provide the necessary funds.
Before this article appears, or
shortly thereafter, a relief mes
sage is expected from the Presi
dent which will undoubtedly
clarify the budget and tax out
look. Strong pressure tis being
exerted for curtailment of relief
expenditures. Equally strong sen
timent favors expanding relief,
and there is no small amount of
pressure for curtailment of Fed
eral expenditures in all lines.
There is virtually no sentiment
.for new taxes.
I The present indications are that
the President will fix relief funds
at the lowest possible amount
consistent with the widespread
national needs. Thus, if the
amount recommended by the
President is increased, it will be
due to the pressure exerted upon
members of Congress by their
constituents. In other words, the
choice of whether the Govern
ment expenses shall be lowered or
taxes increased is with the Amer
ican people.
Under the pressure of relief de
mands, it is an open secret that
"behind the scenes" consideration
is being given to how new taxes
may be raised, should they be
necessary. In some circles there
is even the suggestion of a gen
eral sales tax, which has been
bitterly opposed in the past. In
other circles there are suggestions
for higher excise taxes. But all
members of Congress have clear
ly evidenced their desire to do
everything possible to make new
taxes unnecessary.
President Roosevelt has ex
pressed the hope that there will
be no new taxes levied. Neverthe-

less, relief needs continue heavy
i and attention must be given to
farm tenancy and housing legis
lation. As I have said, tax legis
lation seems imminent, and new
sources of revenue are being stud
ied.
Excise taxes now in effect, in
cluding the Federal gasoline tax,
and a score of other levies, are
scheduled to expire on June 30.
Recommendations have already
been made that they be reenacted
for another temporary period, de
spite the admitted unfairness of
some of these taxes. However,
more optimistic members of the
National Legislature cling to the
hope that some way will be found
to bring down the expenditures
and break the log-jam of legisla
tion without raising the already
heavy tax burden now imposed on
our citizens.
But with it all, the fact remains
that if our citizens generally de
mand large relief funds and oth
er Federal funds for new projects,
they must be prepared' to pay the
bill.
Thus, the expenditure and tax
situation in Congress is of serious
concern. This is true despite the
fact that many thoughtful per
sons are beginning to realize that
Governments as individuals must
find means of "living within the
income." Any other course
b"lngs a situation that may be
postponed indefinitely by heavy
borrowings and other Federal fi
nancing but one which cannot be
fully corrected until Federal ex
penditures are no greater than
the taxes collected.
The President's anticipated re
lief measure will, of course, be an
indication of the future on relief
and taxes. When it is made pub
person concerned with the na
tional welfare. And individuals
can do much by frankly facing
the situation and realizing that
the time has come when, with re
covery here and greatery improve
ment ahead, the Federal Govern
ment must economize as Individ
uals have been forced to do to
place their affairs on a sound fis
cal basis. It is obvious that every
possible means will be utilized to
prevent wholesale tax legislation
being thrown into the already
muddled Congressional situation.
Whether this effort will be suc
cessful will depend largely on the
developments in the next thirty
days.

Answer:
NOBODYTJP
Her husband thinks he is a kind, thoughtful and considerate person, and he prob
ably is in many ways. Yet week by week, month by month, he lets her spoil her
health and beauty toiling over smelly, old-fashioned wash tubs and scrub board.
This same husband would probably kick like a bay steer if his employer were to
suggest that HE work long hous overtime without pay, fact that his wife
is doing just that never enters his mind. i
