PTGE ETC! ITT BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1934. s S HOPE FOR BRfTISHTAX CUT Feeling That Increase in De fense Expense Is Inevit able Clouds Otherwise Rosy Picture for Year By Oscar Leldlng LONDON ( AP ) The ahadow of dlKKtmament trouble is casting gloom on a picture otnerwlse streaked with rays of sunshine aa John Bull pores over the estimates for next year's budget. The tax payer's hopes for at least small cut In his heavy burden, on the strength of a substantial surplus built up In the current financial year, are held from soaring by the feeling that an Increase In the defense eatl mt'.'ss is inevitable. Surplus No lteilef That there will be a surplus has already been announced by Neville ChamberlaJn, chancellor of the ex chequer. Revenue is running about (50,000,000 more than at the same time last year, while ordinary expen diture shows a decrease equivalent to snore than 250 000,000. Under the existing law, however, any surplus realized by the end of the financial year on March 31 must be applied to the redemption of debt. Die surplus that Intimately concerns the tax payer and the economy vic tims, therefore Is not the realized ' surplus of the current financial year, but the prospective surplus of tho following year. ! Estimates of expenditures for next year are now being prepared by the government departments, but the fig' ures will not be ready for the cabinet until the end of January or early In February. Adjustments In Spring It la considered probable that the estimates will be framed on the as sumption of a continuance In the new fiscal year of the economy forced upon the country by the financial emergency In 1931. There will be no difficulty, however In making adjustments after the esti mates have been Introduced In par liament If, next spring, the revenue outlook should present an opportu nity for restoring some of the "cuts." Increases In the estimates are ex pected from several departments, In cluding the navy and the air force. An addition 'of four aviation squad rons Is considered likely, while re placement construction tn tho navy vlll be more expensive. Civil Activities Grow Parliament was warned last spring that tho current estimates were the low-water mark of naval expenditure If the fleet was to be maintained at the existing standard of efficiency. Now the clouded disarmament situ ation has led to an energetic drive In many quarters for building up the navy and the air force. Some of the civil departments also are expected to require larger appro priations because of the natural growth of their services. No large economies are In sight; the financial emergency claimed all those long ago. The general revenue situation how aver, la believed to be more' than equal to the sum total of the In creases In the departmental estimates. But that balance won't help the taxpayer.

BIGGER FAIR IN 1934 THAN 1933 SAY CHICAGOANS CHICAGO ('UP) An Increase In concessionaires., and concession ex penditures which will triple the em ployment of "A Century of Progress" for 1S34 as compared with the 1033 fair waa predicted today by fair of ficials. The prediction was based on con tracts already signed and on negotia tions pending with concessionaries who had shows last summer and those seeking coscesslons for next year. "We have figured It out," an official said, "that three times as much money will be spent by concession aires In improving and beautifying their concessions, or in putting up new buildings at the 1934 fair as was the case at last summer's fair. That means more Jobs and more money In circulation." Seventeen contracts, most of them renewals, have been signed, and 67 are In process of negotiation. A total of 9110,000 In down payments has been received from the 17 signers. This money win be held in escrow until proper legislation has been passed by the state legislature and the Chicago South Park Board, en abling the fair to receive It. .
