. MANY KILLED Highways Fog, Rains, in Various Parts of U. S. CHICAGO, Nov. 20.—Onc Lunred and five deaths over tre udon last week-end have been traced to abnormal weather conditim:. The windup of the season's gen- eral football schedules was mark2dldjed at St. Ann's Hospital from 1ains| pneumonia at 3 a.m. today, passing alongside the Eastern seaboard and away at the age of 49. ¢l Gamble had been a resident of with blanketing fog and sub-freezing temperaturcs Midwest and West. New York led ths aeccident ‘it with 13 deaths in the state, seven in the metropolitan area and six upstate. in It Means (Continuea irom Page One! Tax Receipts Now, if the national income is less next year, that will be highly important to our pocketbooks. Here's why: The national government lives off the national income, much like a bank lives off the interest it gets on deposits. The annual cut of the government is what we call taxes. The government's tax receipts al- ways move up ahd down with the national income. 8o, if the national income drops next year, the national government can expect to collect less taxes than it talfes into the treas- ury this year, unless it levies new taxes, or trims expenses. The Treasury says the govern-' ment is going to spend at least 700 million dollars more than the six and one-half billions it takes in this year. That beans the budget will be 700 millions out of balance. - If our national income drops ever 50 little next year, we can expect the budget to go out of kilter again, unless new taxes are levied or ex- penses are cut. P Business’ Argument But the President and Congres- sional leaders insist they hope to bolance the budget next year with-! out new taxes. On top of that bus- iness is clamoring for a cut in spec- ial capital gains and undistributed profit taxes, and the farmers want a crop control system that is bound to cost the government money. Business people argue that a re- duction of their tax load would encourage them to.expand, there- by giving people jobs, increasing the national income, and expanding the government's tax receipts. President Roosevelt, however, de- plores the lack of interest in rais- g the national income of the lower-third of the population, di- rectly. Thus the problem goes around in circles. Now that we know the worst, what's the answer? In broad terms there are several possible answers. The financial men of Washington and Wall Street who have been beating a path to the President’s study in recent weeks are trying to help him select the right answer, or rather the lesser of several “evils,” PPN Likely Ways Here are the four most likely possibilities: 1., The Federal Government might cut a slice off WPA funds and throw WPA workers back on the states and municipalities. For instance, the appropriation might be reduced from $1,- 500,000,000 to say, $1,000,000,000. 2. The tax structure might be re- vised to eliminate a few taxes especially obnoxious to business and income tax rates raised. Treasury experts believe the people who receive from $5,000 to $50,000 would do the least squawking. A ‘good sized jump in. the rates would not close to $400,000,000. 3. Social Security taxes might be thrown into the . Government’s general cash box for a year, making a technical or tempor- ary “saving” of a half billion dollars. in this way. And then there’s the opportu- nity of combining the likely methods. The whole question rests, how- ever, with a Congress that’s got to face the voters next November. For that reason, anything can happen. 7 Are Drowned Hm@g‘flunks DUNSMUIR, Cal, Nov. 29.—Dr. J. T. Steele and Charles F.
