Secretary Mellon's experts found the treasury was $661,000,000 in the hole at the end of October. This Is almost - four times as much as the bad-balance shown for the first four months of the previous fiscal year, which ended last Jnne 10 with the treasury $903,000,000 behind. No sooner did the fact become known than talk of new and higher taxes was revived. Senator Reed said, he expects congress next month .to adopt some sort of restricted sales tax to get more Income. It may be on luxury articles only, but he Is con- vlneed th biu should surf would be broadened.: The Pennsylvania republican cited the recent conservative land slide -In Great Britain's election, showing determination there to balance the budget. This deter- mlnatlon he expects to be ref lect- ea in tne American congress. It seems certain much of this year's deficit at least will be cared for as it was last by adding to the publie debt. . Tne gross debt on October 31 I was 617.291.000.000. an Increase 1 of more than tl. 000. 000. 000 in a year, with Indications pointing to a atlll greater increase in the com ing 12 months.
