ANOTHER REDUCTION IN
INCOME TAXES DEPENDS
ON WHAT CONGRESS SAVES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Return
ing members of congress are showing
a significant curiosity about the chanc
es of another revision of taxes.
And they will find that the answer
to their queries cannot be given them
by the .president or the secretary of
the treasury. For tax revision de
pends on two unknown factors. One
is the business condition of the coun
try—a better economic situation mean
ing increasing revenues—and the
other is the spending proclivity of con
gress itself.

The treasury estimated the last time
that there would be a surplus of about
$380,000,000, but it actualy came to
$505,000,000 which goes to show that
a forecast cannot be exact and that a
favorable business situation and rigid
economy can change a prediction ma
terially.
Assuming that on the basis of the
figures already published there is an
indicated surplus of about $70,000,000
this would not be enough to warrant
a recommendation for a revision of
taxes. But the experience of the
past has taught that the treasury es
timates cannot be exceeded. For this
reason some people have gone so far
as to say there will be a $350,000,000
surplus notwithstanding the cut that
has been made by the new tax law in
the expected receipts.
Power With 'Congress
Congress to some extent has it in
its power to bring about a surplus of
$350,000,000. Economy in expenditure
will do the trick. If a businessman
wanted to bring about a surplus at
j the end of the year he not only would
| cut down his expenses of operation,
. but he would look to increased reve
J nues by better business methods. The
; government and congress can’t ap
prove economic conditions except by
omitting to disturb business and avoid
ing the imposition of uncertainties
in one form or another. It can fail
to spend large sums and it can even
inquire closely into the estimates of
expenditures made by the executive
departments. Presumably the bud
get director has done all the pruning
possible but Congress has been known
to slash appropriations which emanate
from executive departments ever since
the budget system came into opera
tion.

QUICK SCHEME IN TROUBLE
- i
BOSTON, Dec. 15.—Charles Ponzi,1
i
promoter of the “get-rich-quick” sys
tem of four years ago, which attract
ed investments of many millions, was
arrested early today by immigration
authorities on a warrant charging that
he is in the country illegally. De
portation proceedings will begin im
mediately it was said by Immigration
Commissioner John P. Johnson.
Whether deportation will be to Can- j
ada or Italy, in the event that charges
against Ponzi are sustained can be de
cided only by the secretary of labor.
Ponzi came to this country from Can
ada, after being convicted of banking
irregularities at Montreal, but if Can- 1
ada objcts to having him deported to
the dominion, officials of this country
may order him sent to Italy, of which
he is still considered a citizen.
The warrant against Ponzi obtain
ed after several days of investigation
into his activities in the past twenty
years, charges only that he is in the
coui^ry in violation of the law. Evi
dence includes a record of Ponzi’s con
viction for smuggling aliens into this
country from Canada. It is under- J
stood that Ponzi filed his intentions
of becoming a United States citizen in
March, 1918.
