Hearings on the Presi dent's court plan have been com pleted. The Chief Executive's budget message has clarified the situation with reference to Fed eral expenditures.

COMES, FROM new projects cannot be under taken without new taxes. And there seems to be no sentiment in Congress favorable to new taxes. As a result, leaders are endeav oring to cut appropriations and to hold relief expenditures down to the billion and a half recom mended by the President. If pos sible, that amount will even be reduced. Should these moves be successful, excise taxes scheduled | to expire in June and July will be reenacted, perhaps for another year, and that will be the extent of tax legislation during the first session of the present Congress. However, should pressure from various Congressional blocs result in new and larger expenditures than are provided in the budget, it may mean tax revision before Congress adjourns. And tax re vision during the summer months in Washington is a slow and dif ficult undertaking. Everyone hopes that it can be avoided. In the final analysis, the course of the Congress will be governed largely by the desires of our peo ple. If they want new expendi tures, they must be prepared to THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA foot the bills. If they want re duced expenditures, they should make their wishes known. These statements cannot be repeated too often. They are of utmost Importance to our people. Nevertheless, we have timely warning that the day is fast ap proaching when our system of producing revenue must be over hauled. Loopholes must be clos ed and inequities removed. Our tax bases must be broadened. Expediency in levying taxes must give way to equity. We should consider the effect of certain forms of taxes on business and, in turn, on labor and on the far mer. Much of the present condi tions, and those we have gone through, may be attributed to the way in which we have pyramided taxes, Federal, state and local, without regard for their effect. Therefore, we may anticipate, that tax revision in 1938—if ne cessity does not force it earlier— will be approached on a sound basis. Such an approach has been too long delayed, although the need for it has been recog nized by the nation's fiscal ex perts. For example, late in 1932, a subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee studying Federal and state taxation and duplications therein, made a pre liminary report. Let me quote from the statement made by the able chief of staff of the Joint Congressional Committee on In ternal Revenue. "At the completion of some months of study of our taxation system as a whole, it is our opin ion that very substantial im provements can be made therein, through cooperation between the Federal Government and the states. The tax burden is great and the public is fully conscious of this burden in these times of stress. A more equitable distri bution of the burden and its ul timate reduction through a ju dicious curtailment in expendi tures would doubtless not only be welcomed by the public but would also have a most beneficial effect on bsiness." We should ask ourselves the following questions: Which taxes are most adapt able for the use of the Federal Government and which taxes are most adaptable for the use of the state governments? What taxes may be properly imposed, if any, by both state and Federal Governments without ser ious objection from the stand point of equity? We must give our citizens a fair and just system of taxation, free from loopholes and inequities, and we must also give our people a full measure of value for their tax dollars. This will require the reduction in expenditures now sought by the President. RUSK Mrs. Kermit Corder and small daughter, Sall'y Jo, spent several days last week, visiting in the Friendship community.
