$31,086,633,874 Debt
Forecast for. the Year in
Report of U.S. Treasurer
Federal Spending at Rate $835,000,000
Per Month Expected During
First Six Months
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 (Pj Federal upendln? at the rat of 835,000,
tqoO a month during tho first six months of 1935, resulting in a current
fiscal year deficit of 4,809,418,338 and a gross debt peak of $31,080,633,
874, waa forecast by Secretary Morgenthau In tha treasury's annual re
port to congress yesterday.
It Is estimated that expenditures ,
'
for the year would be as. 581.069.026,
including 14.844,613.852 for relief, off
set by receipts of $3.711.05O.6B8.
The predicted deficit would be M -033,492,460
In excess of the actual
deficit at the end of the last fiscal
year on June 30, 1934.
Lottwft to Continue.
The secretary foresaw a continuance
of heavy operating losses due to
emergency expenditures. He esti
mated that the treasury would go
farther Into debt during the fiscal
year 1936 when expenditures would
amount to 8,520,413,609, offset In
part by receipts of 3,991,904,639, re
sulting in a doflclt of 4.528.508.970
and swelling the gross public debt to
34.338.823,656.
A.sharp parlng-down In emergency
expenditure items in 1936 was fore
cast, but an expected outlay of 3,
900,000,000 for "relief of unemploy
ment" would brltvi the total of such
expenditures to M, 122.01 1,476 or only
a half billion less than expected In
the present fiscal period.
H Income Tux llooht.
The secretary found a cheering pos
sibility In the estimate that Income
taxes In the fiscal year 1936 would
Improve by 137,000.000 over 1935,
and &m6unt to 1,188.000.000. This,
he said, would reflect the "further
gains hAcause of the moderately high
er incomes anticipated for the cal
endar years 1934 and 1035.'
Morgenthau pointed out that In
view of the nature of the federal tax
structure, It was not to be expected
that revenues would reflect promptly
an anticipated Improvement in busi
ness condition.
"For example." he said, "collec
tions of Income taxes during the
latter half of the fiscal year 1936 will
be based on the business volume of
the calendar year 1934 and income
tax collections during the fiscal year
1936 will be based on the volume of
business of the calendar years 1934
and 1936.
"Therefore, It la anticipated that
the rising level of business activity
will Increase income tax receipts only
moderately during the .remainder of
the fiscal year 1936 and the fiscal
year 1936. Certain miscellaneous In
terns! revenue receipts, notably es
tate and gift taxes, show a lag in
tax collections behind changes , in
general business conditions."
Custom Dutlm to (Irow.
Total receipts from custom duties
and Internal revenue, excluding agri
cultural adjustment taxes, are esti
mated at 3,172.000,000 for the new
fiscal year beginning next July 1 "If
the temporary taxes explrttig June
30 and July 31, 1935, are extended."
This figure represents an Increase of
227,000,000 over the estimated re
ceipts In the present fiscal year, and
of 671.000,000 over the actual is
oelpts In the fiscal year 1934.
Morgenthau said failure to extend
the temporary taxes would reduce the
total Internal revenue receipts by
about 378.000,000. and customs by
about 11,000.000 to a total of M..
783.000.000, or 112.000.000 leae than
estimated receipts from these sources
In the fiscal year 1935.
The secretary said he expected cur
rent corporation income taxes to
yield 509.000,000 In the fiscal year
1936, an Increase of 69.000.000 over
the expected return for the present
risoel period, and current individual
income taxes 508.000,000, or an In
cruse of 02,000.000 over the 1935
estimate. Collections of btwli taxos
on Incomes are expected to bring In
173,000.000. an Increase of 6.000,000.

the higher level of corporate earn
ings, the elimination of consolidated
returns, the treasury administration
of depreciation allowances, and
changes In the Individual Income
rate structure and In the capital
gains and losses provisions.
Total miscellaneous Internal reve
nue receipts assuming extension of
temporary taxes now 4ue to expire
next summer are estimated at 1.
686,000,000, an Increase of 129,000,000
over the estimate for the fiscal year
1035.
Estate tax and gift tax collections
are estimated to yield 191,000,000
and 25.000,000, respectively, repre
senting Increases of 54,000,000 and
14.000,000. Revenues from distilled
spirits and wines and from fermented
liquors are estimated to show in
creases of 27,000,000 and ll.ooo.ooo.
respectively, partly In consequence of
the anticipated higher level of In
comes and partly because of the ris
ing trend In the domestic manufac
ture and consumption of distilled
spirits and wines.
Check Tux Taken Off.
Repeal of the tax on checks, effec
tive as of January 1, 1935, will clip
24.000,000 from the 1038 revenue.
The secretary said customs receipts
In 1036 were estimated at 208.000,
000, an Increase of 11.000.000, "as
suming that temporary duties on cer
tain commodities (coal, lumber, pe
troleum products, copper and prod
ucts) are extended." Decreases from
this source sre expected In collec
tions from Cuban sugar imports and
imported liquor,
Agricultural adjustment tax re
ceipts were estimated at 570,000,000
"on the assumption that It would be
necessary to continue the work of
the agricultural adjustment admin
istration on practically the same basis
as during the fiscal year 1935.'

MERCHANTS NAME!
GROUP TO STUDY
Meeting as one unit In s nation
wide gnthering Monday of employers,
for the purpose of discussing unem
ployment Insurance, about 75 local
merchants and Industrialists heard
summaries of the four proposals of
the national retail merchants' com
mittee, at a forum luncheon at nocn
at Hotel Medford.
Following the presentation of each
of the plans and discussions thereon,
W. P. Isaacs, chairman of the Med
for dretall merchants' committee, who
presided at the luncheon, appointed
a committee of 18 to summarize the
views of local merchants. The ap
pointments were as follows. Don
Newbury, chairman: Ployd Hart. J. C.
Thompson, C. T. Steward, Roland
Hubbard. A. S. V. Carpenter. James
Owen, Harry Rosenberg, W. H. Lydt-
ard, W. 8. Bolger, D. H. Perry. Ted
OeBauer, Robert W. Ruhl, George
Porter, Ralph Bou telle. E. J. Trow
bridge, P. O. Benson and W. F. Isaacs.
Reading the provisions of the first
proposal, whereby contributions to a
fund are required from the em
ployer, employe and the state. Mr.
Isaacs then referred the first and
second plans to Don Newbury, who
gave a thorough summary of the
Insurance put Into effect In parts
of the United States and In England,
where a similar plan -was first adopt
ed In 1911.
Newbury said Information from the
headquarters of the national mer
chant committee sent out on the
i proposals seems Imperfect and incom
plete, ana tends to determine m
most popular methods of putting the
insurance Into effect. Instead ol
whether or not the public favors it.
By this he explained that the mer
chants committee Is seeking to de
termine whether or not the public
! wants the employer, the employe and
the state, the employer and employe,
or the employer alone to contribute
towards the Insurance fund.
Newbury referred co the first ot
the two plans as the bettor, after
explaining that before passed by the
Ohio state board, the second pro
posol recommended that payments
be made by all three parties of in
dustry, but because of the fact that
taxes wore so high when the bill vas
passed, the legislation did not in
clude the one per cent contribution
of the employe.
Referring to the plan as put into
i use In Great Britain. Newbury point -led
out that unemployment insur
jsnce has been given a "black eye"
by the unsatisfactory experiences met
Iwith In that country, but explained
that thrv experiences were due to
'immediate effects of the World War
, and the resultant depression of 1920
'and 1931.
He said the national merchants'
committee Is attempting to present
a pattern of legislation to eoncreas.
( to tain uniformity In contributions
Ito the nsurance fund.
Floyd Hsrt discussed the third pro
WORK INSURANCE
posal, the theory of which Is that
unemployment is the responsibility
of Industry alone and may be mini
mized by Imposing a penalty against
fluctuations In employment.
Hart said this plan has had the
consideration of 10 European coun
tries, but Is In use at present in
none of them. He gave as two out
standing points of the plan the
wrong public assumption that any
plan of unemployment Insurance can
be expected to maintain a normal
volume of purchasing power, and
that experience shows that it is dif
ficult to administer any type of un
employment Insurance In regions
where industry Is seasonal, such as
the fruit, mining and lumber trades
of southern Oregon.
The fourth propcsal was outlined
by Dr. Wm. F. Roney, who explained
the plan as one whereby It is pro
posed that the federal government
assist In the administration of the
Insurance to Insure uniformity Inso
far, as it la practicable among the
states,
With the use of a chart, he dem
onstrated that federol cooperation
would eliminate Interstate competi
tion such as followed prohobltlon.
At the close of the meeting, C. L.
Mariner, of the United States cham
ber of commerce, field division, dis
cussed briefly the possible effects of
unemployment Insurance should It
be adopted, and 'urged the moulding
of public opinion against commun
ism and Its hold on Industry.

FOREST REPORT
FOR LIVESTOCK
IS PESSIMISTIC
Little Change in Rogue River
Area in Past Year
Ranchers in Financial
Straits Range Is Short
The annual grazing report Issued
from the offices of Rogue River na
tional forest reveals little change In
the livestock Industry in this locality ,
over conditions In 1933. A slight
trend Is noticeable toward better !
values received and a stronger mar
ket for cattle, but the sheep and wool
market la about the same.
In reality the financial status of
the stockmen in this region Is not
good, the report declares. Most of the
ranchers have mortgaged their ranches
and stock, little assistance la received
from the bankers and with present
prices the stockmen wo well to break
even.
Reason for these unfavorable con
ditions were given In the report as
being first, a shortage of from 20 to
50 per cent in the hay crop compared
to normal years, both east and west
of the Cascades, although prices have
been high throughout 1934; and sec
ond, higher operating costs, which
range from 30 to 30 per cent above
the 1933 level, increased taxes, high
er prices for commodities and an ex
tended period of depression will causa
some of the operators to go out of
business unless more favorable condi
tions exist In 1935, according to the
report.
Winter Too Mild.
Referring to climatic conditions
throughout 1934, the summary states
that lost winter was exceptionally,
open and mild, with rainfall far be
low normal, snowfall about 75 per
cent below normal and practically no
freezing weather. As a result, the
ranges developed early and due to
light spring precipitation, the lower
ranges dried up quickly, causing
earlier than usual use of the fomge
on the upper rsnges.
It Is believed by the forest service
that the actual carrying capacity of
the forest ranges Is lower than the
estimated carrying capacity. A thor
ough grazing reconnaissance Is urged
to determine the carrying capacity
more definitely and to develop work
able unit management plans, as "pres
ent management plana are out of
date," the report avers. With a nor
mal year and systematic management,
no further reductions in range UBe
are deemed necessary for 1935, but it
is urged that no Increase be allowed.
Larkspur Killed.
Regarding range improvements the
report stated that a total of 118 acrps
of tall larkspur have been treated,
and steps are being taken to treat
340 acres of tall larkspur on O. & C.
land. The following Is being plan
ned: To develop at least 15 more wat
ering places; eradicate 240 acres of
poisonous plants, besides going over
38 acres treated this year; fence sev
eral water hemlock springs to keep
stock out, and construct some 45
miles of drift fence, at a total cost
of approximately $4,100.
Losses of livestock during 1934 were
as follows: From poison plants (dis
tributed nearly evenly on the Apple
gate. Klamath and Butte Falls dis
tricts), 30 cattle, 10 sheep; predatory
animals (occurring principally in the
Klamath and Applegate districts, with
Klamath having a very high loss of
428 head), 5 cattle, 498 sheep; dis
ease, 5 sheep; unknown and not
found, 118 cattle, 73 sheep.

SECTION OF CITY
Through an appropriation of 10,
000 of SERA funds, announced yes
terday, 2300 lineal feet of 10-lnch
pipeline will be laid in this city
within the next 60 days, to provide
adequate fire protection for the mill
district north of town. j
The project will be undertaken:
principally for protection, but will 1
also reinforce the present water sup
ply to the North Medford district, it
was explained by Robert A. Duff, su
perintendent of the city water depart
ment. The work will Include addi
tion of a line of 10-inch cast-iron
pipe to the two existing water mains
of six-inch pipe leading Into the dis
trict. Duff said the work has been under
consideration for some time, and
preparations for an eventual system
of 10-lnch pipe line to the mill dis
trict were made some years ago. Lines
laid at that time will be connected
and extended. It is expected that
work on the project, with SERA la
bor, will commence within the next
week and will be completed In from
45 to 60 days. The new mains will
provide an ample water supply for all
hose that could be needed for con
trolling any fire In the area. Duff
said.
The new pipe will be laid as fol
lows: Along one block on Manzanlta
street from Court street to Boardman
street, to Join existing mains; along
Edwards street from Beatty street to
Nlantlc street; thence along the alley
east of Beatty street from Edwards
street to Mitchell way, where it will
Join the 16-lnch cross-city main.
