Toft Estimates Government Spending To Double By 1953 Washington, June 10.—Senator Taft (R-Ohio) estimated today that government spending will hit a $90,000,000,000 a year clip in 1953. exactly twice this year’s outlay. If his estimate is correct, Taft said, "I doubt very much if we can restrain inflation.” The Republican leader urged that 'we spread our spending and go a little slower” in meeting the an nounced goals for defense. He se ; : $70,000,000,000 to $72,000,000,000 a year as “about the limit to what we can do” without destroying public morale and endangering the na tional economy. Taft expressed this view during a radio panel discussion (Winx’s Meet Your Congress) on the mounting cost of defense and the threat of inflation. Senator Benton (D-Conn) pre-, dieted a $4,000,000,000 cash surplus in the federal treasury at the end of the present fiscal year closing June 30. This, along with a tax bill now being written in congress, would increase govnrenment rev enue sufficiently |o cover a $'0.- 000,000,000 budget for 1952, Benton estimated. The House ways and means com mittee has adopted tentatively $7,- 100,000,000 in new taxes. The ad ministration had asked for a $10.- 000,000,000 boost. The tax bill still is subject to final committee ac tion and votes in both houses i ^ <3 ?, < ^ ru // T ’ H,' 9^.^' the merchant to secure and send in his application.

The license fees are graduated according to the number of places of business with $5 for the first, $10 for the second and son on to the 30th or more, for wheih the fee is $150. Retail stores that purchased a li cense for 1951 under the old law must make application for the new period beginning July 1, 1951, and ending June 30; 1952, but will not be charged again for 1951. This, in effect, validates existing licenses until June 30, 1952, without extra cost. SAY “I SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE” TheCHIROPRACTOR-and^c ARTHRITIS: “My troiible began 6 years ago while I was in Service. It feels like my heart hurting and the pain goes into my left arm and around into my back. A dozen doctors said I had Arthritis and nothing could be done for me. I am a farmer but I am not able to do the work because the DR. HART least exertion re sults in this hurt ing over my. heart.” This was the story we heard from this 31 year old ex-service man. Dr. Hart took charge orf this case in November and the man’s symp toms began to clear up almost im mediately. He was dismissed in Jan uary and is making a crop this year. Nervous Breakdown Prevented ' This case is typical of the amaz ing results obtained under Dr. Hart’s care. This young man was on the verge of a nervous break down. He was off work and he was afraid to return to his job. He seemed to have lost confidence in himself. Dr. Hart found the solu tion to his problem in the nervous system. So great was the response that this young man regained his confidence and composure and re turned to work the same week. If you are suffering ill health and it is your sincere desire to get well, consult Dr. Hart. He has helped hundreds of sick people regain their health. Perhaps he can do the same for you. Consult Dr. Hart today. DR. CHARLES J. HART 254 West Main St. Laurens, S. C. YOU’LL GETi,, Better Selection And Bigger Values When You Trade At irestone WE CANNOT BE SURE OR .
