One is that all surpluses and even payment G 3ritain on her debt, should be uti s received from | the reduction of taxes, on the theory that the growing gener-| ,, ation should be required to pay part of the war debt. The} jected the men advocating this procedure believe that the drastic | in a state tax cut which would follow would greatly benefit the country by stimulating business and inc sing prosperity. On the other hand many others believe that the public debt should be retired as rapidly as possible and at a rate| faster than required by law. This would, of course, reduce} , interest payments, and so the expense of government. Secretary Mellon recently pointed out that $250,000,000 surplus with which the government ysed_ the last fiscal year was used to retire the public debt. The surplus for the current year will probably be $290,000,000 and it is believed that the President will suggest that tax reduction be held within this figure. Of course this surplus may be greatly increased by the time the end of the year rolls around. The last surplus of a quarter of a million dollars is five times greater than the estimate at the beginning of the fiscal year. Guided by this experience, some of the treasury perts be- lieve that the surplus at the end of the current year will be, $400,000,000. The increase, they say, is due to the reduced tax rates which has encouraged more capital to go into pro- ductive enterprise. There will be no special session of Congress this fall to reduce taxes. It is believed that the regular session can enact the bill before the first taxpaying period in March, 1926, CROP PROSPEC' GooD According to the latest report of the Department of Ag: riculture on the farm situation, the farmers this year, on the whole, have better crop prospects than in any year since 1919. The report decl, that taken as a whole the main crops are promising fairly well, except for winter wheat in certain localitie: It is said further that the present nice balance in both livestock and crop production a tribute to the readjustments made by the American farmer since the fall of 1921.” The main fact seen in the present outlook was that, while production will be ample to meet consumption needs, agri- culture will not be in the market this fall with any large | surplus of the major products. Present terfdencies in the| general business situation were found to indicate little change in prices of non-agricultural commodities and conse- quently no marked change in the purchasing power of farm products. “The outlook in the corn belt is apparently good,” the report. Hogs are relatively high priced and may go high- er. The pig survey shows a decline of eleven per cent in the number of spring pigs compared to last year. Corn prices are not so high as to prohibit feeding and everything points | to a profitable feeding season ahead. It is from conditions like this year, when price ratios furnish a stimulus to feed- ing, that the corn belt can usually hope for some degree of prosperity.” An average balance of $1,024, the margin of cash receipts over cash expenditures, was returned to owner-operators in 1924 on 15,103 farms surveyed by the department. In addi- tion to this margin, these firms increased inventories of crops, livestock, machinery and supplies $181, making an average return of $1,205 for the use of $17,206 of capital and the labor of the farmer and his family. These farms also produced food and fuel consumed on the farm estimated to be worth $266 on the average. “This is a somewhat better showing than in 1923,” says the department, “when a similar survey on 16,183 owner- overated farms averaged a cash balance of $890, increased inventory of $130 and produced food and fuel worth $265 on capital amounting to $17,490. BRYAN Probably there is no man in the country about whom more violent opinions rage that William Jennings Bryan. By one segment of the population he is looked up to as the leading statesman of the day; by another section he is denounced as a bigoted obstructionist. But whichever group you belong to, remember this: Thirty years ago Bryan represented a great hope, a flam- ing ideal, to millions of,people. Like a young knight with a shining blade he came from the west and sounded a battle cry for democracy that echoed for years. And you can’t take that away from him, whatever you think of his course since then. We do owe something to the Bryan of the “cross of gold.” ABNORMAL A report just made in New York says that more than three-fourths of the prisoners in thirty-four jails and peni- tentiaries in that state are mentally or nervously abnormal. The proper course of action, in view of that statement, doesn’t suggest itself offhand. But the report provides plenty: of food for thought. : And it also provides something of an answer for those who insist that the only way to stop crime is to make punish- ment more dreadful. Ambassador Herrick thinks that the United States gov- ernment ought to own a big office in Paris and Uncle Sam might be able to buy one on account. leek scene The trouble with China is that it has been run by a league - of nations for the past generation, =~ Joy « There are two theories in the matter of public finance.) timent on the venerally won't agree | ed entirely for | te senator bat now ed nothin tion as it) may later League welfare in the future, It Editorial Review _ Comments reproduced in this column may or may not expresa the opinion ef The Tribune.
