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

censes are good only for the per
son or business to whom issued at
the location and are non-transfer-
able and non-assignable.
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.
