World War Deficit Towers Over i
Present One But Uncle Sam Now V
, , Faces a Much Bigger Problem
By" Frank I. Wellrr 1
WASHINGTON fl) The United
States,, which erased the stupendous
World war deficit with a figurative
snap of the finger almost as the
laHt rifle cracked now finds Itself
harassed, and burdened by an im
pending deficit lefcs than hulf the
size.
ThV deficit, however, comes in
the face of depression's inroads on
tax revenues, and it is' the first:
great peace-time deficiency.
President Hoc'f.'r ha:( e&.imated
. that at the present rate of revenue
this government will have a deficit
of approximately $4,500,000,000 at
the end of the 1033 fiscal year ac
cumulated in 1030-31, 1031-33 and
1032-33. Congressional plans for tax
increases would erase or cut this
deficit considerably.
Treasury records of receipts and
expenditures since 1791 show that
the present estimate of 84,500,000,000
has been surpassed only by deficits
of $9,611,482,739 in 1910 and $14,
297,760,281 in 1919.
It exceeds the Civil war deficit by
53.500,000,000 and towers out of
sight of the next highest peace-time
deficit $89,423,387 In 1909.
From present Indications it- is go
ing to be the hardest deficit in
history to meet.
A prosperous and victorious na
tter, resented little congress' impo
sition of tho highest taxes Jt hud
ever known to balance the budget
within 1 three years of thja World
war's termination.
Fatriotism was rampant. The def
icit was expected. Americans looked
upon the tax burden as one of their
own making. They had grown ac
customed to luxury taxes, war taxes,
excess profits taxes and an income
tax basis which touched almost
every wage earner.
The revenue from customs began
mounting again as Europe turned
from war. to work, and tho United
Elates enjoyed an extremely favor
able balance of international trade.
Liquor taxes were bringing in mil
lions in revenue ?483. 000.000 in 1919
ccmpared with $11,000,000 last year
and the personal income and cor
poration taxes netted $5,400,000,000
in 1920 compared with $1,800,000,000
in 1931 and an estimated $1,000,000.
000 for 1932 unless the rates are
advanced.
. Now, after 14 yearo of peace and
V 12 years with a comfortable surplus
in the treasury, congress suddenly
Is faced with the necessity of boost
ing taxes again. , ' 1
This time it cannot impose a war
profits tax of 80 per cent or many
ether taxes Justified by nrmed
strife.
It is on what earning power la left
that budget balancing depends. Cur
rent tax bills propose to bring in
comes hitherto considered too small
to tax into assessment and to stop
up the rate of taxation in the higher
brackets which have failed to pay
customary revenue because of de
clining business.
Thero is an effort to place covpo
lation. Inheritance, estate and gift
taxes and surtaxes higher than the
war basis. Tho cry of "soak the
rich" io raised against the current
mr-iRin-.o hprmiRT' of these nionosals.
Tho tax bill still has a long road I
to travel, but it generally is con
ceded that the fjnnl form will paral
lel in many instance: the war-iwc-nuo
bills
There are fewer sources now than
. then, and the percaplta circulation
cf money 1h low. It will take a
drastic bill to produce rosults.

Of course, she needn't worry! A
dozen times she fissured Gar that
she HI; ed . her new-found leisure.
She did not tell him how she spent
ft, how often she went to Carol's,
how often sho saw David. Nor did
slio ask him where he'd got the
money to pay IJond and the others.
The Players were presenting
"LtiyalUcfs' tho last. of. February;
The rehearsals took Gar-away from
her. She did not. suggest that she
go with him. .
Ono: day she called Gar on the"
telephone. (Jar wasn't iu the oflke.
He'd gone out about .balf-pasi
.eleven. He'd said he wouldn't be iii
again that day, old Jonathan an
swered her.' His voice v3,s of the
patient, kind quality like Pound's.
Did she imagine she caught a little
note of pity In It? -v '
Perhaps Gar But she would not
go on with that thought, . .
At dinner Gar told liar that he
had to go to the theater. "I may
ua late tonight, sweet. Don't sit
up for me. Miriam Holt's dropped
out of the cost and Somerset's put
01 in the thing'll go slow tonight;"
Quite on accord, they -discussed.
Diana Close's ability and Jack of
ability. Gar went off, kir.sing Kitty
affectionately In parting.
Kitty remembered that th6 Phila
delphia Symphony wes playing at
.Music Hall. She'd go there. ,
She'd wanted to go to the con
certs all winter but Gar had re
fused. That sort of music bored
him, he'd said.
She reached the hall too late to
take a seat before tho opening num
ber. She joined a little group of
people, standing. Impatiently wait
ing. And in it she saw David.
"David, how nfec.'"
"Alone?"
"Yes. Gar's busy with tho Play
ers. But I'm not alone, now. . See
If ynu can change our tickets"
He look hers and went to the
j box office, returning with adjoining
seats.
"I've never heard an orchestra
like this, except on tho radio." she
confided to him, langaing. as they
l-ook their scats.
Bright color glowed on her
ehcolts. She was wearing a- hlntJ;
dinner dress which enhanrad the
creaiuiness of hrr slender threat.
"You're looking r::li'.er prettier
than usual, tonight, Kitty."
She laughed saUly:. Surh Alrnci

Amused, she fell to thinking ot
things she would say as soon as
the music ceased
But after a little it came to her
with a shock that she wasn't listen-'
ing to the music. Sho closed her
eyes and settled back in her chair.
And gradually the sound swept over ,
her... -liftcd her, released her.. It
seemed to pour itself into her body,
and heart and brain. She put out.
her hand, a little blindly until it
caught David's arm.
The symphony ended. David
smiled nt bor,
"David!" Her hand still clung to
his .arm. , "David, that did something,
to me!"" ' .. ' - ;
She was ashamed ashamed of
what -she'd been doing, sitting here,
planning how she'd hold David's at
tention. She vyas frightened, too.
"I'm going to put you in a taxi,
Kitty," David said when they wero
out In the street.
They stood on the fringe of tho
crowd pressing at the curb wait
ing to claim the cars that swur.g

"Good nisbt," she said brightly.
Gar, who didn't like symphony
