BASTROP ADVERTISER OCTOBER 27, 1949
PRESIDENT SAYS
HE WILL ASK
FDR MORE TAXES
Washington.—President Truman
made it clear Thursday he will
ask for an increase in taxes a*,
■she next session of congress.
He told a news conference, un-
.Vr tpiestioning. that if anybody
van tell him any way to avoid tax
increases to meet the deficit, he'd
like to be told.
CJoajcress went home Thursday
-nnrb; hut will come hack in Jan-
uary. ,
Mr. Truman last January asked
for $*,<¥>0,000,000 more taxes, but
did not pet them. He dropped the
demand during the summer be-
cause of the business torn-down
*hat had set in.
The statement of new plans to
.seek a ta\ increase at the next
*e*sion grew out of news confer-
quest ioning about the $5,000,-
HgUNK') deficit which Mr. Tru-
man said he had no pians to meet.
He blamed the deficit on the
Republican - controlled Eightieth
Contjres- which he said passed a
ru-h man's tax reduction bill.
Told that l"r. Edwin (J. Nourse.
resigning chairman of the eco-
nomic advisory council, had said
Yie was unhappy over deficit fi-
nancing, the president said he was
just as unhappy, as who isn't.
The president saiu he doesn't
believe in deficit financing. Hut he
■commented that there i.- a flat
-charge of $35,000,000,000 against
the government and he has no re-
ctnirse but to meet it the best
way be can.
Then someone asked if be had
-any remedy which would involve
a request for a revision of the tax
structure.
He said it may require a raise
in taxes and then went on to say
doesn't know of any other way
xo meet the deficit.
He said the deficit was brought
.about through no fault of the
president.
Hflr. Truman gave reporters per-
mission to quote the following an-
swer to the question as to whe-
ther he might request tax re-
vision :
"Certainly, we've got to find
money to run the government and
that's all there is to it."
He said he would like to find
the money some other way, and
fee wished somebody would tell
him some other way.
As to how he would raise the
foods to meet the deficit, the pre-
sident said he would cross that
Imdxe when he got to it.
Chairman George, Democrat,
Cteorgia, of the senate finance
committee, told a reporter it is
his understanding the house ways
and means committee will begin
hearings on a tax bill shortly aft-
ter congress meets again.
George already has announced
his committee will consider
house-approved social security
lejtislation in January.

WHY NOT IN TEXAS?
Recently the Mute of New Mex-
ico voted into their Constitution
a provision authorizing their
legislature to set up the mach-
inery to levy and collect taxes
upon severance of the natural re-
->uree- at a rate that will com-
pensate ihe state for the deple-
tion of these natural resources.
The amendment creates a fund
to be known as the Natural R>
sources Trust Fund and this fund
shall be forever inviolate.
It was predicated upon the sim-
ply expressed truth that the prin
ciple wealth of New Mexico con-
sist-. ir major pa:t, if tat ma',
resources, and that thi- continual
severance, or removal, without r«
placement of compensatory valu>-
is determinental to the welfare of
N'i'vv Mexico.
R. O. Zollinger, in the Austin
American-Statesman, had this u,
say:
"Texas, looking to its future
can well take the same position -
that the principal wealth of Texa.-
consists, in major part, of our
natural resources, and that thi-
continual severance or removal,
without replacement of compensa-
tory value is deterimental to the
welfare of the State of Texas.
"It is thoughtless for this State,
its officials, its legislators, its
civic and other community lead-
ers and the public so vitally con-
cerned to >rive so little thought
to the fact that one day. near or
far, the natural resources of Tex-
as will have been depleted and
their ^atherinir and processing es-
tablishment > will cea.-i to be im-
portant parts of the Texa> Econ-
omy.
"Already oil men and scientific
researcher- are talking of the
tremendous «bale deposits in Col-
orado and elsewhere from which
billions of barrels can l>e extract-
ed, some experts even claiming
that it can be done competitively
with present costs. But these vast
shale deposits are not in Texas."
New Mexico did it. - Why Not
in Texas?
MEAT AND EGG
INCREASE NOTED
CHICAGO.—There will be more
steak and chops available for the
American dinner table in 1950, and
also mort omelettes and milk foi
breakfast.
That's what 20 agricultural ex-
perts concluded Friday following
a two-day study of the nation's
feed supply.
The experts, representing agri-
cultural colleges in 17 states, met
in Chicago to make a study spon-
sored by the American Feed Man-
ufacturers' A.-.>ociation. They as-
serted that meat and dairy pro-
duction will increase next year
despite a somewhat less favorable
feeding ratio.
The survey by the experts indi-
cated that increases of K per cent
in pork production and more than
a billion pounds in dairy produc-
tion can l e expected in 19K0. A
slight increase in the number of
beef cattle fattened on jtrain was
predicted, but sheep and lambs
were expected to show a reverse
