TIIE MORNING OEEGOXIAX, TITUIISDAT, JUNE 1, 1923 UTILE HOPE SEEN FOR TUX REDUCTION Observers Can't Figure Any . Way to Cut Expenses. GOVERNMENT COSTS CUT Analysis Shows Annual Outgo Is Only 20 Per Cent Higher Than In 1916. , BY' MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright, hr the New Torn Evening . 1'ost, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C, May 31. (Special.) No doubt nearly every body goes along comfortably with the Idea that next year his taxes will be lower than they are this year. A S?cod many persons, including some careful business men, are guiding their affairs on this basis. They are refraining from selling property this year, in. the hope that through post poning the sale a year or two they will not have to pay the government eo large a portion of the profit as they would If they sold this year. Having Just had a rather depress ing conversation with one of the two or three men who know more eJaout this than, anybody else, it is necessary to say that the men who re in positions to have authoritative Information do not see how the na tional taxes can be reduced for a good many years to come. The ap propriations for the year 1923 are down to the bare bones. The outgo from the national treasury in 1923 will be $3,600,000,000. There is no one who sees how it can be reduced below that point for almost a gen- , eration. . Running Expenses Cut. As a matter of fact, the running expense of the government has been brought down to a point that is astonishingly low. This can be shown by the briefest analysis of this $3,500, 000,000 which, must be paid out next year. Of this sum, $2,000,000,000 goes out for three purposes, namely, the interest on the national debt, the sinking fund, and the veterans who must be cared for. No one of these Items is apt to be less than it now U in any year during the near fu ture. On the contrary, the expense of caring for the veterans is likely to go up rather than down. Granting, hen, that no reduction can be made in this 2,000,000,000 let us turn to the rest of it. The other $1,600,000,000 Is the normal running expense of the government. This ecm cannot be reduced any more readily than the others. The fact is that even before the war the normal running expenses of the govern i:ent were anywhere from $1,000,000,' COO to $1,260,000,000. In 1916, the year before America entered the war, the normal running expenses of the gov rnment were $1,250,000,000. Increase Not Astonishing. Now if you compare the billion and a quarter dollars which it cost to run the government in 1916 with the billion and a half dollars which it is going to cost to run the government In 1923, you will realize that the in crease in cost is not, as costs go, nearly as much. In dollars, the in increase is a quarter of a billion. In percentage the increase "s only 20 per cent. In other words, the cost of running the government in 1923 lias been pared down through the budget system and by the intense ef fort of those who have charge of the government expenditures to a point where it is only 20 per cent greater than the pre-war cost. It is doubtful if any private bus iness or any private family is doing ar.y better than this. It would be difficult to find any business concern or any household whose expenses for 1923 are only 20 per cent more than they were in 1916. In point of fact, the showing is really better than this because of the $250,000,000 which is added to the cost of government for 192.'! over what the cost was in 1916. Fully $150,000,000 's caused by the increased volume of business in the postal service. The net result of it is that when you realize that the ex pense of running the government has bcea brought down to a point where it is less than 20 per cent over the lire-war cost you are forced to realize that about as much has been done as it is possible to do. Further Cuts Far Off. It is not possible to foresee how ran be made for many years to come. The contrary is more likely to be the case. Congress is more likely to yield to the temptation to do costly things than to pare down the appropriations beyond where they now are. This being so, it isn't possible to see how the government is going to be able to get along with any less taxation than we now endure. All these remarks, it is needless to my, have a bearing on the subject of the Boldiers' bonus, which would necessarily represent so much addi tional taxation. To anyone who re plies that America will get a lot of money out of her European debtors there are two answers: The first iH that America is not likely to get as much out of them as the politi oians have led the more trusting of us to expect. The second answer is that whatever America does get out of European debtors should be applied to the reduction of the national debt and not to the running expense of the government. held at the First Presbyterianchurch J here tonight.

Mrs. Lou Fraught was hemmed In by the fire for several hours yes terday afternoon while her husband was out with fire-fighters protecting other property of that district. The Fraught barn was burned to the ground, but the house was saved by Mrs. Fraught who fought the flames single-handed.

The distriet schoolhous-e at Egypt, near where the fire started, was burned to the ground yesterday morn in.g None of the contents was saved. The homes of Philip Van Hee and Louis Gould, both of which were in the path of the flames, are a total loss: Most of the furniture of the Gould home was saved. The barn at the Frank L.

Damage to Timber, Logging Camps and Buildings Heavy. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 31. (Spe cial.) Six large forest fires and nu merous emoller ones in western Washington and several small fires in eastern Washington cast a pall of smoke over the state today and were reported to be causing heavy dam age to timber and destruction of log ging camps and buildings, according to reports to Fred E. Pape. supervisor of forestry. . The ; flames for three days have been fanned by a stiff east wind which has caused rapid spread. A fire nine miles long rages in the Cedar river valley, the line of fire ex tending from four miles east to three miles west of Cedar falls. This fire todav destroyed -the camn of the Pa cific States Lumber- company near Selleck. The fire lay along the line of the Milwaukee railroad, blocking traffic and causing the detourins of all Milwaukee trains over other lines. East of Kent, near Barrison, a fire raged in and about the camp of the Kent Lumber company. The extent of the damage there was not known here. The Buckley Logging com pany's camp east of Buckley was virtually a total loss in a big blaze that swept through the workings and also was burning rapidly in the tim ber. Another fire in the Green river val ley threatened the Page Lumber com pany's camp this afternoon, accord ing to reports here. Still another blaze between Alder and Morton on the Tacoma Eastern was Bald to be beyond control, though no loss of buildings was reported. Another small fire near Enumclaw threatened the homes of some settlers. Supervisor Pape sent out orders to wardens to engage all help available to battle the fires. The wardens were told to hire logging crews wherever the men were driven out of their workings, by the flames. The large quantity of email , timber broken down by the sleet storms of last win ter is adding fuel to the fires. The blaze reported yesterday be tween White Salmon and Underwood was reported well under control to gay and danger there was believed past, Mr. Pape said. .The fires re ported on the east side were not large but were being carefully guarded to prevent their spread until the wind dies down and they can be extin guished. ' v WASHINGTON TOWNS. MENACED fire in the Cherry Valley, a few i miles from Cedar Falls, was crushed to death by & flaming tree. At Cedar Falls, the postoffice, school and a ; number of homes were burned and only valiant work on the part of the : fighters saved the town. Late this ' afternoon the town was reported al- j most entirely surrounded by flames i and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.) Paul railroad had ordered a train! made up to carry refugees to safety should the necessity arise. ! Two camps maintained by the municipal light department of the city of Seattle were destroyed by the flames. The municipal water pipe line was endangered, but it was stat ed there was no immediate possibil ity of a water shortage in the city as the supply is Impounded below the fire zone. ' The town of North Bend, 10 miles from Cedar Falls, was reported en dangered, but later It was said the flames ha not approached closer than nine miles from the town and little anxiety was felt there. Small fires were reported near Palmer, Forbes and Kanaskat, south east of Cedar Falls. Logging camps of the Cherry Val ley Lumber company at Stillwater and the Pacific States Lumber com pany at Selleck were burned. At the latter camp property damage was said to be more than $70,000. Small fires were burning in the vi cinity of Buckley and Enumclaw, and number of homes and mill nouses had been razed. The condition- near Eagle Gorge In the Green River val ley, where a brush fire threatened : live timber, was said to be serious.' I Up to tonight, according to reports received here, the fires had been mainly confined to brush and slash ings and little green timber had been destroyed. Many logging camps shut down operations ana rusnea ineir employes to the fire-fighting centers. The Chicago. Milwaukee as st. rsui railway made up a special train here, eauiDDed with flre-ngnting appa ratus, ready to be rushed at call to any point along the line threatened by the flames. LOSS . NEAR BEND v $50,000 400 Men Fight Flames in 2000- Acre Shevlin-Hixon Tract. BEND, Or., May 31. (Special.) Four hundred men fought a 2)0-acre fire in. the Shevlin-Hixon timber IB miles west of Bend. While the few men left in Shevlin-Hixon logging camp No. 1 hastily buried their house hold! effects and fled in automobiles as the flamea neared, only a sudden change in the wind saved the camp, as the fire was within a few hundred yards. Although the fire continued on two sides of the camp, refugees went into camp. Standing timber destroyed, or part ly destroyed approximates LO0O,0)) feet. The total damage done by the flames was estimated at t50,000 by J. H. Meister, logging superintendent for the company, who is directing the firefighters. The . estimate, he said, was a conservative one. A logging engine, a skidder andi 15 flat cars were partly destroyed and four flat cars consumed! A Quantity of rigging was burned or rendered valueless. The fire has cut off the log supply from the local mills. Practically all of the reserved logs ready to be hauled into the Bend plant were destroyed. With only enough logs in the ponds for three- or four days' cutting, a shutdown of perhaps a week is likely at the mill, which is now running two shifts, Mr. Meister said. The fire started while the annual burning of slashings were under way. A change in the direction of the wind turned the flames against down- tim ber and standing pines and rapidly fanned the fire. Loggers stood their ground) for a time, nearly suffocated by the dense clouds of smoke, then fell back to await cessation in the fire or to find advantage in the lay of the ground to give them opportu nity to renew the battle. The fighting continued today, but it was -rather to decrease the area of actively burning pines, Instead of to oppose the spread -of flames as yes terday. The wind was favorable throughout the day.
