Il takes in, year after year Texas for years has been
like some individuals, who always expect a raise in
■kiary, but never have been quite able to live on
the salary they make. The result for Texas has been
a swelling deficit to the tune of about 130,000.000
One retMsuring factor in State finances Is that of-
ficials don’t expect a serious decrease in general fund
revenues despite gasoline rationing and other war-
time restrictions on normal activities. The Governor
expects the annual general fund receipts to be around
182.000.000 for the next biennium, as compared with
039.000.000 the past biennium
Opportunities for economy offered by war condi-
tions should be utilized fully to keep State expendi-
tures as low as possible. With the federal debt climb-
ing at the rate of »4 ooo.ooo.ooo a month, it is im-
perative that State governments, county governments
and city governments pull in their horns in every
♦ay possible, for all government units get their
money from the same taxpayers In the final analysis,
tax dollars spent for tank;, and planes are more Im-
portant than tax dollars for street cleaning or gar-
bage disposal

NEW YORK, October 5.—The Case of the 13 Walk-

It’s not a gruesome story It’s the story of the
most expensive single laugh on the Broadway stage,
one that has cost the producers of "Arsenic and
Old Lace” more than $10,000 since, the Broadway !
production and road companies opened in January I
of 1941
The mystery comedy, you know, deals with
elderly gentlemen put out of their misery with
poisoned elderberry wine by two warm-hearted spin-
sters. Just for a last laugh at the final curtain calls,

We are going to great lengths to gain a collection

enough to meet half of the winter requirements of
the steel mills. The campaign probably is one un-
paralleled Eh” the history of the country, since the
shortage of materials threatens directly the success
of the war effort
The general public should not be confuted nor find
excuse for lack of Interest because of the fact that
errors were made in estimates involved in a previous
civilian collection campaign that involving paper In
that campaign, however, the American people fairly
sprang to the collection and waving of paper so that
the errors in estimates were on this factor So much
paper came in and so much saving was made that
the collection campaign had to be halted
In this instance, however, there ta no sign of an
error of estimate, even though the unlikely and over-
whelming flood ot metal should come in. Scrap metal
was never ao abundant as papr and the original sup-
plies were never so large Moreover, we sold our
scrap for years to Japan and Italy and to meet
other export demand The price was good and the

Howevflr. we readily recognize the fact that it is
better to err on the side of over-supply of scrap

Congressmen dilly-dallying over the tax bill until

there isn’t some way in which the return can be

be so high

Congressmen voting to give farmers a price ceiling
of 112.5 per cent of parity on their crops—what’s
the harm in letting the farmer get his share of all

have hl* houts lengthened?

amount due to the fact that
collection of income taxes
would stop with a person's

sury is agreeing to the plan as
it would apply to small incomes
suggests that thte loss would
not be material and would be
more than balanced by the
benefits."
