Copyright King Feiturei 8ynd., Inc. The most important para graph in President Hoover's extremely important message deals with the "japilal pains tax." This tax, c which the President eondeinns, causes many of our troubles. Hamper ing freedom of purchase and sale, it caused, largely, the i:anibliii! mania of a year a'rio by wfthdrawinp stocky from the market and, throiiiih scarcity, constantly increasing prices. Under the capital pains tax, if you buy and sell at a profit, you must pay a tax on that profit. o On the other hand, if you buy and well at a loss, you can tte . duet your loss from income tax. While prices were sioinjr up. men would not sell, and til: ovcrnieient made no profit i'l the way of ca.pital. pains tax. ljut after the slump, with prices poinp down, thoiiKHiids sold to get the benefit of in dome tmx reduation, mud this siliovfs in Uncle Sam's dimin Mie'd reccip'ts.

HOOV EI EM Budget Message Carries Opposition to Present One Per Cent Cut Deficit of $180,000,000 Is Pre dicted This Year. V ASH I NG TO N, Dec. 3 . President Hoover opposed contin uance of reduced income taxes to day in rocomnu'iuung to congress a $3,932,8429000 budget for the next fiscal yea.-. Reiterating the prediction of a 80,000,000 deficit this year, he warned othi'.t appropriations look ing linvmwi netlnn in the next KiX n.ni.la ullotrit.tn utinmnlritMnmii ' and drought difficulties would re sult in another deficit in 11)32. The house went to work on the treiisniy-poHtoffice supply hill Im mediately after the budget was received. The detailed estimates for 1932 included increases over current appropriations of 109.620,000 for veterans, f 51.500.000 for federal aid roads, $10,330,000 for public buildings, $2,4X0,660 for prohibi tion enforcement, and $35,00o!oo0 for the shipping board's construc tion loan fund. Decreases of $9 2, 000,000 for tax refunds, $33,697, 000 for national defense, and $22, 000,000 for interest on the public debt wore listed. 0 Out Noil ViVavKWitiftl As to taxes, cut one per cent on 1929 income, he said the outlook "for heavy decrease in pn?mible income and the necessity to In crea9 public works and aid to employment does not ijarranrf. con tinuation of the reduction. " T'toe president likowbae opposed attempts to meet the impending dofiitcit by reduction ofi the statu tory reJctii(4tion of the public (SeM. now amounting to $440iQill0,- O0t par annum. He continued: "Nor do 1 look with concern .u.ion. this iwii3 ra-fce deficit for the current fiscal year, which, in tact, amounts to less than 5 per cent of the total government expendi ture. Tlio H'lvcine balance can be met by reducing the general fund balance from the amount in It at the beginning of the year, supple mented. If necessary, by temporary borrowing by tjfe treasury. litMi'tt to t'l'itiitfe "When we recollect that our budget has yielded large surpluses for the last 1 1 years, which have enabled us to retire the public debt, in addition to retirements required by law, to the extent of j nearly $3,000,000,000 wo can con- i' fldently look forwurd to tho re storation of such surpluses with the general recovery of the econo mic situation, and thus the absorp- ; lion of any temporary borrowing that may be necessary. "It will probably be necessary for congress to appropriate, addi tional m o hp y for expenditure within the present fiscal year in order to increase employment and to provid1 for the drought situa tion. While this will operate to Increase the amount of the deficit as above estimated, I believe such increase can be accommodated by the melhodH Indicated. . On the other hand, no appropriations should be made for such purposes which look beyond such action as will ameliorate the Immediate situation during the next, six months." IGHT WASH 1 N'tiTON.
