Not ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1925 PRICE FIVE CEN’ SENATOR BORAH STOPS IN BISMARCK HUGE SURPLUS FOR THIS YEAR I$ PREDICTED Treasury Department Begins Revision of Estimates of Receipts REVAMPING NECESSARY | BILLS PASSED Large Income Tax and Cus- tom Revenues Unusually High, Officials Find Washington, July 2.—(>)—With the final figures in hand — showing $250,000,000 surplus for the fiscal year ended Tuesday, treasury attention was turned today to a revision of the estimate of receipts for the year now beginning. Orders to review all of the figures in detail were issued by Under Secretary Winston. Revamping Necessary ‘amping of calculation was sary by the fact that prac- > The re made tically all items of receipts for the past year exceeded — expectations. Much of the excess thus resulting came in receipts from taxes in March and June and furnishes what is re- garded as a definite indication of the trend to be developed in the fiscal year now started, Income tax receipts amounting to $1,710,000,000 were $100,000,000 great- than had been estimated. The be- f prevails at the treasury that r pts from this source in the comi 1 year are likely to go above $1,- 00,000, which was the figure cal- culated when the last budget was sent to congress, Revenues Unusually High Customs revenue and miscellaneous tax receipts also were unusually high and offic ¢ convinced the plus when the current 5 June will be materially higher than the previous estimate of $20,000,000 It is on this surplus that the duction must be base MOTHERS MUST RENEW PLEAS FOR PENSION Changes Under State Law Went Into Effect on July 1 nt year ends next pplications for mothers’ pen- s must be made, and all previous pensions are canceled July 1, Frank y. Johnson, Burleigh county auditor, cad toda, Chan; under the new law be- came effective y The changes in the mothers jon reg. ulations include specifications that applications be made direct to the county board of commissioners and not to the county court as formerly. Reorganization in i of the Wothers’ pension law is pro- vided in the amended mothers’ pen- sion act adopted at the last session of the legislature effective July 1. Supervision of pension awards, which at present rests with the coun- ty judge, is delegated to the county board commissioners under the new law. The age limit for dependent chil- dren is reduced from 16 to 15 years by_ 1925 legislation. Direction of the mothers’ pension ‘ow in Burleigh county will continue te be in the hands of Miss mary casnel, local Ked Cross_ secretary, who has been in charge of this work for the last two years. Nine Received Aid There are at present nine women in the county receiving aid under the mothers’ pension law, Miss Cashel stated. Awards contributed by Burleigh county total approxi: mately $200 per month. Although supervisory work in Bur- leigh county has been under the risdiction of the county{ judge, d Cashel, an experienced social worker, by authority of the county commissioners, has investigated all applicants submitting reports to the county body. In all instances the commissioners acted in accord with recommendations of the Red Cross representative. A serious handicap in the admin- istration of the mothers’ pension law is seen in failure of the legislature to fix the status of the county child welfare boards established during Miss Cashel. A bill to legalize child wel- fare organization was killed last session. Child Welfare Work The Burleigh county board, which has been in existence since the war, will continue child welfare work, Miss Cashel announced. A _ meeting of the board is'planned within the next three weeks, Efficiency of the mothers’ pension administration has doubled within the last two years by improved methods of investigating pension cases. By adoption of a scientific program of administration expenses of maintaining the pension have been reduced by more than 50 per cent, according to the Red Cross welfare agent.
