One is to cut expen ures. ‘suat may mean fewer bridg- nd roads buit back home, cur- ailed spending to help out the armer, fewer warships, less relief pending, less of many things. Another thing, generally agreed upon, is that it means more taxes. There may be more taxes in the higher brackets. But the Treasury will tell you that taxing the big fellows won’t raise enough money. Taxing the brackets between $3,- 000 and $50,000 a year brings in most of the money. Your Congressman may not get up nerve enough to raise taxes next year—what with an election coming on and budget cutting going on in the same breath. But either your present Congressman or a braver one later may have it to do. inere AVEY _.VAY_ - ONE OF THE f LEADING CONTENDERS FOR THE LIGHTWEISHT crOWN WORN 8Y Lou AMBERS i 2 3 leous shower given last eveninz at!
