Bolt was returning in his machine for the customary mid-Decemher fi nancing involving more than $700,- (^.tHM) in mjitUTing ohHgatiops. At the same lime they ' held the price of newly mined domestic gold stationary after three increases in as many business days, which cartried the quotation 25 cents upward for the week to its highest level since the gold operations began. A special treasury committee^head- ed-by Assistant Secretary Hewes is at work on the tax recommendations. Indications ha\e been that it is con cerned principally with income taxes with the primary object of providing an indisputably balanced budget for the fiscal year which ends July 1, r.*35. .A key piece in the* jig-saw puzzle uf federal, finances which the commit tee ’ i.s attempting to fit together is the amount" of revenue from the’spec- ial taxes that will l>e lost soon, as compared with the income to be de rived from legalized liquor. In mak ing this comparison, they have pnly estimates with which to deal. The si)ecial taxes are: One-half a cent a gallon oiugasoline, and five per cent “On dividends both of which ex pire Jan. 1; a tax on corporations of $1 for every $1,000 of capitalization, which expires at the end of the pres ent fiscal year, June 30; and a levy of five per cent on corporation profits in excess of 12 Me per cent of capital structure. This becomes ineffective upon the beginning of each corpor ation’s fiscal year following repeal. ITie estimated yield of the special gasoline tax is $6^000,000 a year, the dividend tax $70(000,000, and capital stock and e.xce.‘<s.*profit.s tax combined $KO,000,000 a grand total of $212,- 000,000. Liquor taxqs are estimated to yield $250,000,000 to $325,000,000, the unofficiallv but most generally men tioned figure. From these fi|rures it would appear that the government stands to gain about $80,000,000. However, the problem is not .so sim- 4)le. The difficulty lies in gauging^ the income from the special taxes as they expire. To guide it, the committee ha.s figures showing collections for the first four months of the fiscal year. These showed a yield from the gasoline taif pf $26,29,000 as compar ted wjth original estimates of $20,- '666,000 for I that period; dividends $11,477,000 against estimates of $23,- 1333,000; and capital stock and excess profits $78,921,000 far'*aboYe the ex pected yield of $26,666,000. The special taxes levied in the re covery legislation of last June for the purpose of paying interest and pro viding a sinking fund for the bond tissues authorized to finance the $3,- [NOVEMBER HONOR ROLL [ FOR RENNO SCHOOL First gradd: Hartridge Evans, J.
