CANT LOWER TAXES

SAYS GLASS REPORT : (Br Associated Pre) ' ; WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. No appreciable reduction In taxes for the next fiscal year la to be thought of, Secretary Glass declared in his annual re port sent today to Congress. : Government-receipts musti be kept at their 'present figure, he. bald, In order to bring government borrowing to an : end.'.'' f'V' "' . Facing expenditures estimated at f 5,629,486,359 for the year ending June SO. 1920. and 94,473.69658 for the year ending June 30. 1921, the government -must enforce rigid economy, Mr. Glass declared. He placed the deficit for the current year at 63,905,000,000, and for the year ending June 30, 1921, at approximately 92,005,000,000. On this basis, Mr. Glass urgstt congress to deny "every appropriation for expenditure in new fields." He said the . same policy should obtain until the government had Its sinking fund veil under way and repayment of the war debt "satisfactorily begun." ' Mr. Glass charged that excessive government expenditures were "the most vital factors," in Increasing the Cost of living and argued that It was urgently necessary to keep down public expenses for this reason as well as because of the' drain on the taxpayers: v The- present revenue laws need re . vising to meet new conditions, he said- " He referred particularly to the excess profits tax laws which he described as being "objectionable even as a wartime expedient." Less harmful forms of deriving funds for the government should "toe employed, the secretary said. "It encourages wasteful expendi tures, puts a premium on overcapitalisation and a penalty on brains," the secretary continued. "It . discourages new ventures and new enterprises and establishes old ventures in their mon opolies. In many Instances, it acts as

j a consumption tax, is added to the

J cost of production upon which profits are figured, determining - prices. - It

has been, and will, so long as It re mains on the statute books, continue ' to be a material factor in the increased cost of riving." Relations between conditions In Europe and those In the United States were discussed also by Mr. Glass. He said that, undoubtedly, there was a very great need in Europe for financial assistance, but that the situation . had been much exaggerated.

No immediate relief through a return to work of bituminous miners who went on strike 34 days ago was in sight, although the larger coal oper ators were ready 'today to submit a new wage scale which it was said would contain more liberal concessions to the miners than the fourteen per cent increase proposed by Fuel Administrator Garfield. ,gome of the larger cities today for the first time since the walkout was called realized the stress of the situation.
