Government Expenditures Push Bank Deposits Higher
Mid year banking figures show government spending and abnormal monetary factors swelling U.S. bank deposits in six months. Major reserve banks report deposits up about 2.3 billion dollars since year end and total gains near 3 to 3.5 billion across the nation. The abnormal factors include 2.5 billion in new money, 500 million in unemployed gold, foreign gold imports and new mine output totaling around 800 million, plus 200 million of currency returning to banks. About 4 billion in funds have piled up, with 2 billion likely in government securities and the rest in cash balances at Federal Reserve banks, leaving banks with a dilemma as private borrowing remains sluggish.

Taxes Consume Twenty Percent Of National Income
Washington July 4 Statistics estimate that all taxes will absorb about 20 percent of the national income this year. William Fortune of Indianapolis, a member of the chamber of commerce committee, says total taxes in 1934 stood at about 9 billion dollars. If national income reaches 45 billion this year, taxes would take 20 percent, up from a decade of 10 to 11 percent before the depression. Expenditures exceed tax receipts, with deficits to be covered by borrowings.
