Receipts from indirect taxes, of course, >..?> pick up considerably between now and the Slat of December urnl some offieials, win. do not look for so large u deficit, are confident that they will. ?y whatever amount they pick uj? during the remainder of thus year will the deficit as here estimated be deceased. lhe trouble, of course, lies in the fact that the last legislature did not find sufficient sources of revenue to meet the appropriations which it made. I he special tax committee of the house, now investigating the genera! tax situation, with a view to relieving the situation somehow, has estimated that the deficit this year will reach only $646,000, making a total estimated deficit ut the end of the year of only about $2,800,000. It is to be hoped that the committee is right, Its numbers ars? familiar with the fiscal affairs of the State and are giving study to the situation. But the only thing that will bear out their figures, it would appear, will be a wonderful picking up during the remaining period of this year. Facing the deficit even as low as the committee puts it, heroic measurea will have to be found. The committee has stated that its aim is to eliminate the property tax, the tobacco tax, the documentary stamp tax, the corporation license tax, the contractors' license tax, the sporting goods tax and a part of the soft dlinks tax, but that they ure not committed to a sales tax or any other scheme. Just how they can eliminate these taxes and take care of a deficit which they estimate will reach $2,?00,000, and which all the figures seem to show will go far beyond that, remains to be seen. The committee will, it is thought -?certainly it is hoped by those who know the situation?seek not only temporary, but permanent relief. .While the sales tax idea seems to have gained favor in legislative circles recently, it is going to be vigor! ously fought, because there are a great many people who think it is a very pernicious system of taxation, placing the burden largely upon the individual regardless of wealth. The fight for and against it promises to loom large at the next session of the legislature.
