The MARCH OF TIME MEG. U. B. PAT. OFF. BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine for fiscal 1936, 1937 and 1938 as shown by the budget (exclusive of veterans' bonus and amounts theoretically spent in retiring the debt) are: $6,803,000,000 (1936); $7,513,000,000 (1937); $7,294,000,-000 (1938)—including the amount to which the President hopes the relief bill can be held ($1,537,000,-000). But these figures do not show the real cost of running the government on a post-recovery basis because they include large relief expenditures. Eliminating relief costs, charging the government with only the net cost of social security and allowing for no debt retirement, government expenses for fiscal 1938 are about $5,000,-000,000. The typical post-recovery budget after interest rates again rise, would probably be about $5,500,000,000, while the typical pre-depression budget was $3,500,000,000. Thus under the New Deal, "growth of the country" and "new functions" have added about 57% to the ordinary cost of government. The government's receipts for 1936, 1937 and 1938 as estimated in the budget are $4,116,000,000 (1936); $5,828,000,000 (1937); $7,-294,000,000 (1938). As depression brought new function of government it also brought new taxes, biggest of which are from liquor ($644,000,000), with manufacturers' excises ($449,000,000) and miscellaneous nuisance taxes ($83,000,000) following. But the biggest increase expected is from income taxes, which in fiscal 1938 nearest relatives, and a French foreign office spokesman told correspondents that "France will go to any lengths to protect her interests in Morocco." Meanwhile, as the Nazi press and official German sources formally denied and ridiculed "the carnival joke" of reports about Germans in Morocco, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini said they were ready to halt the influx of warriors, on condition that all non-Spanish troops and foreign agitators be cleared out. To neutral diplomats, who had already come to view Spain's civil war as the "Little World War," the conditions laid down by Der Fuhrer and Il Duce indicated that they were throwing the intervention issue back to London's luckless 27-nation Non-Intervention committee. Then, from Berlin and Lisbon came official announcements that Germany and Portugal, whose dictators have collaborated for weeks to secure a rebel victory in Spain, had six months ago signed a treaty by which (as of Sept. 1, 1929) Portugal voided all rights to German property in Portugese territory acquired under the Treaty of Versailles, and also agreed to return to Germany all properties in disputes not already liquidated by the Portuguese courts. This brought great praise from the German press, which observed that Portugal is now "casting off ties which for three centuries have bound her to Britain," that Portugal's African colonies are going to be voluntarily opened for exploitation with the help of "all honest friends" (i.e., Germans). At Madrid the heaviest fighting of the entire civil war was going on, with German air bombs and projectiles pounding the $4,000,-000 United States-owned Telephone building, still maintaining uninterrupted services, although Service of Edison O'1936 Reaches Service records o the Southern California Edison company reached all-time highs during 1936, according to R. E. Bacon, division manager for the company, who attended the recent annual meeting of Edison officers, department heads and managers in Los Angeles. Plans for increased company activities in 1937, calling for the expenditure of a capital budget of $6,500,000 were announced by Fred B. Lewis, general manager. A large portion of the budget, which is $4,000,000 greater than that of the previous year, will be expended for the construction of a transmission line to bring the Edison company's share of Boulder dam power into Edison territory. Construction will be started within a month or two, and the line will be completed in July, 1938. a Methodist bishop's council in New Orleans, famed prohibition-crusading Bishop James Cannon Jr., 72, admitted he had tasted liquor for the first time when his doctor last fortnight prescribed 30-drop doses of wine. "But I still don't like it," he snapped, declaring prohibition would return by 1945. MONEY MEN— WASHINGTON — When the house ways and means committee last week made public the names of United States employees who received salaries, commissions and bonuses totaling more than $15,000 in 1935; the list was not without its oddities: Three hot dog vendors at Manhattan's Yankee sta- 1936, 1937 and 1938 as estimated in the budget are $4,116,00,000 (1936); $5,828,000,000 (1937); $7,-294,000,000 (1938). As depression brought new function of government it also brought new taxes, biggest of which are from liquor ($644,000,000), with manufacturers' excises ($449,000,000) and miscellaneous nuisance taxes ($83,000,000) following. But the biggest increase expected is from income taxes, which in fiscal 1938 may reach $3,365,000,000, a 135% increase over fiscal 1936. Of the 1938 revenue, $775,000,000 will be raised by social security taxes which are not really government revenues since, like the post office, the social security plan is virtually a separate business. Social security pensions will be far smaller than its tax collections for many years, will for example lag behind 1938 collections by $480,000,000. This money will be invested in government bonds, and if a $40,000,000,000 reserve should be built up as anticipated, the government might eventually owe its public debt to its prospective pensioners. Biggest news in the president's budget wag that sum which he expects the public debt to reach next June at the close of fiscal 1937 and from which he hopes it will decline thereafter: $35,026,-000,000. MRS. COOLIDGE PENSIONED—WASHINGTON — The United States senate last week passed a bill granting a $5,000 pension to Mrs. Grace Goodhue Coolidge, widow of the 80th President. "LITTLE WORLD WAR"—MADRID—When French journalists supporting Socialist Premier Leon Blum and his radical popular front last week launched daily rumors that German troops ("Blond Moors") were arriving at Ceuta, Morocco, only 14 miles across the Straits from Britain's Gibraltar, British War Secretary Alfred Duff Cooper rushed to confer with French War Minister Edouard Daladier at Paris. Soon, by admiralty orders, 200,000 tons of British warships reached the vicinity of Gibraltar, ostensibly "on their way" to distant ports, and British tars were asked to give the names and addresses of ties which for three centuries have bound her to Britain," that Portugal's African colonies are going to be voluntarily opened for exploitation with the help of "all honest friends" (i.e., Germans). At Madrid the heaviest fighting of the entire civil war was going on, with German air bombs and projectiles pounding the $4,000,-000 United States-owned Telephone building, still maintaining uninterrupted services, although the United States and British embassies had long since been evacuated. TASTED LIQUOR—NEW ORLEANS—Cornered at It Is Not Fair to Ask Something for Nothing "Doctor Glouster Could not foster; Patients who would not pay. The Drug Store, too, Should have their due Even as I and you." "SERVICE" means doing something for the other fellow. Your M.

For not only is a friend recovering, but often we have helped in that recovery by rushing medicines and supplies to the sickroom, filling prescriptions for the doctor. "Better today!" How glad we are that we had all the drugs needed, that they were fresh, and of the highest quality obtainable. The privilege of filling such prescriptions is sacred to us.

"The total at the close of the year was 489,000, a gain of 16,500 for 1936. The number of idle meters on the system is now at the lowest point of record. "The greater use of current for domestic purposes follows in natural sequence the growth-of load in all other classifications. Today's per capita use of electric energy in Edison territory illustrates the point. The average annual kilowatt hour consumption in Edison territory is now 805 kilowatt hours one of the highest in the nation. The figure in Edison territory in 1935 was 723 kilowatt hours and national averages were 712 in 1936 and 662 in 1935." Bacon also pointed out that several rate reductions had been made and that the tax expenses of the Edison company had mounted.

With over 100,000 addicts slated for execution in Peiping alone, lesser Chinese officials timidly tried to appease ranting General Feng with just a little death, seized a half-frozen man named Lu Ju-hsin as their victim, accusing him of carrying 60 ounces of narcotics on his bicycle. Shackled behind a motor car, Lu was dragged through Peiping's streets while buglers blew their loudest and policemen beat up all who tried to use a camera. At Peiping's garbage dump, as 10,000 watched, Lu was forced to a kneeling position, shot in the back of the head by a snappy Chinese soldier.
