We can look forward today to continued reduction in deficits; to increased tax receipts, and to de- clining expenditures for needy un- employed. Let is be remembered the major part of the increase in tax receipts anticipated in 1937 over 1936 from cémparable sources is eoming from the old tax sched- ules. It is reasonably certain the total appropriations for work re- lief during the fiscal year 1937 will be far less than during the current fiscal year. If Congress enacts legislation at the coming session which will impose additional charges upon the Treasury for which provision- has not already been made in this budget, I strong- ly urge additional taxes be provided to cover such charges.” MISS IRIS GOES TO SEATTLE is Moore, sister of Mrs. E.
