TAXES TAKE MORE
THAN HALF.
About a year ago a wealthy
citizen of the State of New York
passed away, leaving an estate of
$76,838,530. This seems like a
nice sum to leave to one’s heirs
but before the estate could pass
along the governments of the
citizen came in to take out wliat
are called inheritance taxes.
The State of New York levied,
a toll of $10,900,000 and the Fed-
eral government got $30,372,109.
The combbined taxes amounted
to more than half of the fortune.

For the information of the
statistically minded we call at-
tention to the fact that the Fed-
eral government, for the first
quarter of the fiscal year, which
began July 1st, spent $976,060,301
more than it collected. This is
what one technically terms a de-
ficit.
At this rate of extravagence it
will be easily- seen that the deficit
for the full year will be a little
less than $4,000,000,000. With
the nation going hog-wild on pre-
paredness which always comes
high, it might be estimated that
the deficit will, exceed the in-
dicated figure. .
It is interesting to observe, as
a passing comment, that some of
the vociferous objects to a de-
ficit, when incurred for feeding
starving persons, are quite recon-
ciled to the idea of a big deficit
if the money is spent for military
and naval purposes.. It seems,
what *0110 reads, that a deficit for
war or national defense, has some
virtue that is unconnected with
a deficit incurred in assisting in-
dividual citizens.
We confess that we are some-
what ignorant of the terrors that
j lurk in deficits, except insofar as
a 'private lack of funds might be
termed a deficit.. At the same
time, we moan for the boys and
girls Avho can hardly bear to see
the government spend more mon-
ey than it collects.. They are in
for a bad winter. .

WHO COMMITS OUR
CRIMES?
The prevalent idea that young
j men and women commit more
j crimes than other age groups is
j given a wallop by Magistrate
! Matthew J. Troy, of Brooklyn,
who says that a survey of court
cases in 1938 revealed the fact
that the largest group of crim-
inals in that city was 30 to 39
years old.
This is interesting information,
even if it applies to Brooklyn.
There may be some truth in the
observation in other areas. For
example, a recent survey by the
Public Affairs Committee shows
that of all persons arrested and
finger-printed in an undefined
area in 1938 the age group 20 to j
Advertising is
business.

McGregor’s Main Street is re-
ceiving a new topping job; the
work is being done by the high-
way department, for the use of
the street. If traffic continues to
increase on the highway south,
merchants of our city may be
sorry they consented, nr rather
brought the presure to bear, that
said highway was routed right
through the business district. It
seems certain of one thing, and,
that is, it will do away with
double parking along the street.
