ternoon tea and dance. Tea will be
poured by a coterie of young wo
men whose presence at previous
dances has assured their success.
Dancing will be from 2.30 until

NO REDUCTION
IN TAXES FOR
ENSUING YEAR
Glass Declares Appreciable
Cut Is Not to Be Thought
of in Annual Report
Washington, December 1. —No
appreciable reduction in taxes for
tho next liscul year is to bo thought
of, Secretary Glass declared in his
annual report sent to-day to Con
gress. Government receipts must be
kept at th&lr present ffgure, he
said, in order to bring Government
borrowing to an end.
Facing expenditures estimated at
$5,629,486,359 for tho year ending
June 30, 1920, and $4,473,696,358
for the year ending June 30. 1921,
the Government must enforce rigid
economy, Mr. Glass declared. He
placed the deficit for the current
year at $3,905,000,000 and for the
year ending June 30, 1921, at ap
proximately $2,005,000,000.
On this basis. Mr. Glass urged
Congress to deny "every appropria
tion for expenditure in new fields."
He said the same policy should ob
tain until the Government had its
sinking fund well under way and
repayment of the wpr debt "satis
factorily begun."
Mr. Glass charged that excessive
Government expenditures were "the
most vital factors," in increasing
the cost of living and argued that
it was urgently necessary to keep
down public expenses for this reason
as well as because of the drain on
the taxpayers.
l.a\vs Need Revision.
The present "revenue laws need
j revising to meet new conditions, he
said. He referred particularly to the
excess profits tax laws which he
described as being "objectionable
even as a wartime expedient." It
would be still more objectionable in
peacetime, he added. "Less harm
ful forms" of deriving funds for
the Government should be employed,
the secretary said, adding that the
excess profits tax had been respons
ible for much of the increase in
living costs because it had been
passed on to the consumer.
"It encourages wasteful expendi
tures, puts a premium on overcapi
talization and a penalty on brains,"
the secretary continued. "It dis
courages new ventures and new en
terprizes and establishes old ven
tures in their mopoliessonn.SHßD
tures in their monopblies. In many
instances, it acts as a consumption
tax, is added to the cost of pro
duction upon which profits are fig
ured, determining prices. It has
been, and will, so long as it remains
on the statute books, continue to be
a material factor in the increased
cost of living."
In this connection, Mr. Glass
also urged redrafting of the reve
nue laws to prevent the evasion of
federal taxes through the investment
of wealth in the obligations of
states municipalities. He said
I laws should be enacted which would
compel the reporting of such in
comes, although they are wholly tax
exempt, and that that sum with
other income of an individual should
be computed as the basis for as
sessing federal taxes on the amount
derived from taxable sources.
Km-ope Needs Help.
Relations between conditions in
Europe and those in the United
States were discussed also by Mr.
Glass. He said that, undoubtedly,
there was a very great need in
Europe for financial assistance, but
that the situation had been much
exaggerated.
"We must all feel deep sympathy
for Europe to-day," he said, "but we
must not allow our sympathy to
warp our judgment and, by exag
gerating European financial needs,
make them more difficult to fill *
* * The problem of financing
Europe belongs largely to the ex
porter because industries cannot be
reopened without raw stocks. Gov
ernment financial assistance in the
past and talk of future government
or banking aid to finance exports
have apparently led our industrial
concerns to the erroneous expecta
tion that their war profits, based
largely on exports, will continue In
definitely without any risk on their
part To them will fall the profits
of exports and upon them will fall
the consequences of failure to make
the exports."
The Treasury will continue its
policy, in effect since the armistice,
to restore private initiative and re
move governmental control and in
terference with respect to the na
tion's foreign trade," Mr. Glass said.
Estimated Needs.
Returning to the estimated Gov
ernment expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 3, 1921, Mr. Glass
said the military establishment
would ask appropriations aggregat
ing $989,578,657. Of this sum,
$897,392,020 would be required, he
said, for maintenance of the army
proper while $85,408,000 would be
apportioned to the national guard.
The Military Academy would rc
ceives6,77B,637.
For the navy, the appropriation of
$542,031,804, including $185,248,000
for a building program is to be
asked.
An aggregate of $194,578,000 will
be sought for public works. In this
is included funds for rivers' and
harbors' improvement totalling $53,-
659,265. Fortifications, arsenals
and military posts will require
about $129,000,000.
The legislative establishment.will
need $9,025,297, it was estimated,
while the executive branches of the
' Government combined will seek a
total of $149,111,463. Chief among
the latter departmental expenditures
is an estimate of $73,405,101 for the
Treasury Department. This sum
which is much larger than in former
years indicates the added expense to
be borne in the enforcement of pro
hibition. Included in this also is
the appropriation of $37,528,102 to
be asked by the Department of Ag
riculture for carrying on its field
activities. -
The judiciary will ask for $1,634,-
190. For foreign Intercourse, ap
propriations totalling $11,243,250
will be sought. Appropriations for
the Department of State, exclusive
of the funds for use in foreign work
will be $1,571,350, and for the
other executive departments, ap
propriations to be sought will be as
foljows: War Department, proper,
$6,615,248; Navy Department, pro
per, $3,097,870: Interior,, Depart
ment, $6,287,185; Post Office De
partment, $2,093,870; Department
of Commerce, $12,778,337; Depart
ment of Justice, $704,540 ,and De
partment of Labor, $1,700,430.
Approximately $80,000,000 will be
sought by the various executive
branches also to be used in public
works. This latter includes $31,-
000,000 to be asked by the Navy
Department for work In navy yards,
docks, etc., and $22,000,000 for the
Interior Department's reclamation
service.
The Shipping Board has estimated
its needs at $447,755,061 to be
used in operation of the merchant
Aiarine and completing its building
program.

competent board of trustees, coile [
trlbuting each year to the relief of |
those peope who need it most seri
ously.
Several workers for the Associated
Aid Societies related incidents in (
the work for the past year, and j
showed how wrecked families had |
been rebuilt and the unfortunates j
and sick relieved. Mr. DeSchwein- ;
itz urged greater devotion to service,

food-fruits
\
Sealdsweet oranges and grapefruit are
tree-ripened, full-flavored, weighty with
• juice—filled with inner goodness and sealed
by nature for your protection.
This year's crop of these delicious food
fruits is now moving to market. There are
millions of boxes of them but Sealdsweet
oranges and grapefruit are so good the
demand may at times exceed the supply.
To make sure that you may get Sealdsweet
oranges and grapefruit when you want
" them, tell your dealer now that you will
/jggPßlPjjjro|s expect him to carry these fruits all during
the season—he will do so if you insist on it.
According to bulletins of the United States
Department of Agriculture, oranges have more
units of food value to the pound than oysters,
butter-milk, beef juice and sundry other common
foods. Grapefruit, too, are useful as food and,
like oranges, are health-giving and system-toning.
Florida's Food Fruits''*
a book handsomely illustrated in natural colors,
gives many practical recipes, home-tested, for the
use of- Sealdsweet oranges and grapefruit in sub
stantial dishes, cakes and pastry, salads, sauces and
dressings, light desserts, confections, drinks, ices,
etc. Ask your dealer for free copy and if he can
not supply this, write to us for one. Address,
