American People Will Face
Highest Taxes in History
By Lvle C. Wilson
,,v (Unllail Pram Huff Cormlionilent) .
Washington, July 21 mi
Americans must brace themselves
now for the heaviest tax burdens
over imposed upon them.' :
the alternative of reducing oth
er classifications of government
expenditure as hot-cold war costs
zoom has been firmly rejected by
President Truman: .. i .
It appears now that he will ask
congress for authority to spend
approximately $57,500,000,000 in
the current fiscal year. That rep
resents the $42,400,000,000 budget
ed for spending before fighting
began in Korea, plus a $10,000,
000,000 emergency national ' de
fense appropriation and - a $5,
000,000,000 emergency .fund fur
ther to arm our allies. , '
.That rate of expenditure would
set up a prospective deficit of
about $20,000,000,000 for. -fiscal
1951. Spending for fiscal 1952
and for .some years thereafter
probably; will be an great or
greater. .' .- t -'
..Debt Soaring '
Taxpayers will have to pay into
the treasury vaster sums than
they put up in any world war II
year to cut the prospective series
of deficits down to safe sire. The
alternative' would be to permit
the national debt to continue, the
steep clltpb It began In 1930 and
continued with only two interrup
tions since in 1947 and 1948.
'Mr. -Truman may startle con
gress and the nation this autumn
with a request that treasury rev
enue be increased by $10,000,
000,000' or more a year by new
tax levies. : 1
That would hike treasury reve
nue somewhat beyond its best
world war II year, 1945, when
taxpayers poured nearly $44,800,
000,000 into Washington. World
war II taxation was high enough
to put the nation, about half way
on a pay-as-you-go basis. We
were about one-third on a pay-as-you-go
basis in world war I.
. Inflation Feared .
To avoid a dangerous Inflation
ary Increase In the national debt,
Mr.. Truman is expected to go
far beyond halfway pay-as-you-go
for the current hot-cold war.
After world , war II, govern
ment spending never got back to
anything comparable with pre
war levels. That was .true after
world war I, also.
Here is a comparison of some

1939 and the- budget estimates

Leopold Called
Back to Throne
Brussels, Belgium, July 21 u
The presidents of both houses of
the Belgian parliament flew to
Geneva, Switzerland, ' today, to
summon exiled King Leopold
back to his throne. :. .
Well-informed sources said Leo
. pold would arrive here by plane
' Saturday morning. '
- He now is in a luxurious Swiss
lakeside estate heavily guarded
by gendarmes who refuse to let
reporters inside the gates.

tlons minister and government
spokesman, Bald the Catholic par
ty leaders wouia iniorm ieopoia
of parliament's vote yesterday re
pealing a 1945 law declaring L0
pold unfit to reign.
The socialists and communists
boycotted tho ' vote, raising the
v possibility that a wave of general
strikes might mark the return of
the monarch after five years. ,
i The royal air caravan was ex
pected, to arrive at the military
: airfield at Evere. six miles from
Brussels, with an escort of nine
jet lighter planes. . . ...
. Leopold was expected to be
aboard one plane and his son,
19-year-old crown Prince . Bau.
douin, aboard another. ;, ,'..
The rest of Leopold's family,
including nis o e a u 1 1 1 u i darn
v haired wife, Princess De Rethy,
were expected to remain In Switz
erland at least for the time be
ing. ' The ' crucial vote calling Leo
pold home came as the climax of
a bitter 10-year battle over Leo
pold's wartime conduct. It was
198 for. none against and 189 ab
stentions. ...
Court Enjoins
County, Timber
Sales Stopped
!f Grants Passy Ju.lv 21 ilBu-Jdse.
phlne county court was enjoined
yesterday by Circuit judge O. J.
muiara io stop selling county
timber at the price' set Nov.
26, 1943. 1 1 : V-: ' : '
JUdge Millard's opinion on the
injunction request was that it was
not a case of abuse of the discre
tionary powers of the county
court, but. a case of failure on
tne part of the court to exercise
proper discretion.' . .. , , ,
The Judge ruled that the county
court must establish price of sale
for timber at the time of sale of
each tract In accordance with the
market condition.
He affirmed, that the circuit
court did have authority to com
pel the county court to exercise
its discretion and to enjoin dis
cretionary ' acts by interfering
and compelling, reasonable prac
tices. . .
The suit was brought by Harry
Terrell Sr., Wlllard Spies and
Ralph Moore Jr. os taxpayers.
They : charged the court ; was
squandering county forest assets.
Don Newbry of Medford repre
sented the plaintiffs,. and William
K. Johnson, Josephine county at
torney, handled the defense.
Plaintiffs contended thafunrea
sonably low prices of county tim
ber set by: county court' action
cost the taxpayers a return of
$381,167 so far -this year. ; , '.-.
