(I. S, EXPENSES IN 1935 DOUBLE YEAR'SINCOME Peace Time Spending Record Is Set by Government. By United Press ■ WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Expenditures of the Federal government during 1935 were approximately double its income and set anoth- !" peace-time spending record, yearend Treasury figures showed today. The full year 1935, representing the last half of the 1935 fiscal year and the first half of the 1936 fiscal year, saw the Treasury spend $7.612,467,954 and collect $3,857,394,194. This left a deficit of $3,755,073,760, which was met either by borrowing or by draft on the Treasury's cash and bank deposit. On a per capita basis the Federal government spent in 1935 approximately S6O for every person in the country; collected, mostly from taxes, S3O per person and borrowed nearly S3O per person to make up the difference. Expenditures Go Up In tha last half of 1935, representing the first half of the 1936 fiscal year, expenditures were 1 farther ahead of revenues than in the first half of 1935. Expenses In the six months ended Dec. 31, 1935, amounted to $3,781,660,702; revenues to $1,902,009,509. and the deficit ot $1,879,651,193. This compared with expenditures in the last half of 1934 of $3,545,017,914; receipts of $1,845,082.517 and a deficit of $1,699,935,397. For the full 1936 fiscal year ended June 30, next, of which half already has elapsed, President Roosevelt set expenditures at $7,752,332,000; revenues at $4,470,349,140 and the deficit at $3,281,932,860. On the basis of results of the first half of the fiscal year, expenditures are running about as expected but revenues are lagging, largely because of the $200,000,000 drop in processing tax collections. Treasury officials, however, stated they expected heavy first quarter Income tax collections in March to take up a large part of the slack in revenues to date Because the government in 1935 was forced to borrow large sums of money to make up the deficit, the gross public debt was pushed to another all-time record high of $30,557,324,063 at the end of December, 1935. from $28,478,663,925 at the end of December, 1934.

Just about anything awful may happen in a year when both Washington's birthday and Memorial Day come on Saturday, as far as school pupils are concerned. Here is 11-year-old Jean Anne Cooper, of 656 E. 24th-st, showing how she feels about it.

It’s 1936 for some people and Leap Year for others and election year for the politicians. Cut. for the 60,000 Indianapolis children who return to school Monday from the holiday vacation it’s just tough luck. Here’s why. Washington’s birthday comes on Feb. 22 and Memorial Day on May 30. In the regular course of events both days are school holidays. But this year both dates come on Saturday and if you don’t think that’s bad luck you've forgotten what it is to be young. This nasty sort of thing only happens on l eap Year, and only every seventh Leap Year at that. The last time >. as in 1908, according to the calendar, and the next time will be in 1964. Tie that!
