Drawing a lesson from the lowering of taxes in the past the president said that there was no doubt that increased revenues had always followed and that the stimulus Given to business was partly responsible for these upward jumps in receipts. In his first budget message he estimated the Treasury a outlay for the twelve months beginning next july at $4,102,938,700 and figured there would be a $122,000,000 surplus at the end of that period. The difference Between a proper actions asked and expenditures forecast was explained As being due to the fact that the president had not included any amount for the revolving fund of the Federal farm Board because it had not been determined How much would be necessary. In the estimate of outgo however the amount was place. A <.000,000. A further difference of $72,000,000 was due to a carryover of appropriations from the present year which would be available next year. As submitted the request was for $145,-696.000 less than for this year. The tax reduction suggestion followed the previously announced program of the administration which desires a decrease of from 12 toll per cent in corporation income levies and reductions of one per be a on Normal individual incomes making those rates Range from 1-2 per cent to 4 per cent. Need 760 millions in addition to the appropriations asked $760,470,577 will be needed for the Post office department but inasmuch As this government activity pays the larger amount of its Cost out of its own revenues the Treasury trill be concerned Only with the deficit. The president called for increased sums for a numb.? of government courts and organizations including the army the Navy Rivers and Barbers. Of. J Indian care and Forest Protection. Congress was informed that the Treasury would expend $59300.000 in the present ear in carrying on the huge government building program and that it continued on Page eighteen weather and roads Cankton Sioux Falls Aberdeen Huron Watertown Brookings a fid City Pierre Watertown s.

E. Corey of Wagner drafted the Compromise Resolution. Conference leaders said there was an unwillingness to accept the committee recommendation which had proposed elimination of All exemption. A save that relating to Federal state county and municipal the original report made on behalf of Chambers Keller of Lead would have taxed the property of religious charitable fraternal and benevolent institutions.
