HOOVER SAVING
PLANS To BE
ENFORCED
Customs Loss to Compel Tax
Boost Unless All Expenses
Are Slashed to Minimum

Serious obstacles developed in
the path Of the New Hoover
economy program today as the
Budget Bureau continued to study
estimates for the next fiscal year.
s mot only is the Administration
confronted with a natural ex-
pansion in governmental actiyi-
ties, but increased authorization
BY Congress are regarded in some
quarters as mandate to supply
funds.
Col. J. C. Roop, budget di-
rector, is understood to be bear
ing down" upon departmental
chiefs now appearing at hearings
on the next years budget.
Many RevisiOns Due
Many of the departmental bud
gets will be rejected and drastic
revisions ordered, it is expected.
With preliminary estimates plac-
ing the total of next years bud
get at $4,203, ,254, ,457, exclusive Of
poStoffice expenditures, and ex-
penditures for the past year,
placed at 1894, ,152,487, the Ad-
ministration must either economize
or find new ways of raising
money. y
Continuation of the $160 ,000,-
600 tax cut of last year is re.
garded as entirely out of the
question. The spectre confront
ing the Administration now is
the possible necessity of seeking
an increase.
A deficit of $3.50, ,OOO.O0 at the
end of the present fiscal year,
which began July /, has been
forecast by the Treasury. based
upon a liberal estimate of expen-
dit.Nes and a not over-optimistic
estimate Of receipts.
Customs Receipts Off
The situation thus far in the
new fiscal year is not encourag-
ing. Customs receipts to date
are $19,556, ,446, as compared to
39,016.686 for the same period
last year. The Treasury has
estimated receipts for the year
at roxim ately the same
amount as last year.
Treasury receipts as a whole
during the first "a days of the
fiscal year amounted to $132,-
TAG, ,428. as compared to SILL
1885 last year.
Admittedly the record thus far
is not a sufficient basis for a
long-range forecast, but, in view
of general conditions, it is doubt
full whether there will be any
marked increase in income tax
payments.
In addition to past ,expendi-
lures, the Administration must
raise $50,000,0 900 for the new
World War veterans pension act,
and $23, ,OO0, 900 to meet the cost
of increased Civil and Spanish
war pensions.
Other Big Demands
It also must be prepared to
pay out more money for good
roads, public buildings, rivers and
harbors Improvement and flood
control work. A sizeable ap-
preparation will be required for
Boulder Canyon dam, but this
money is to be returned after
the project is in operation.
The farm situation is sure to
bring a demand in Congress for
: great appropriations.

WARD WEEK SALE
WILL STIMULATE

The Ward Week sale starting to-
morrow, which is being advertised
bv the local Montgomery Ward y

More than $50 of the compony s
stores are participating. i. L..
Mankins, manager of the local Mont

newspapers to make this sale a
success. This evidence of our con

knocke \and pessimists are referred

The total for the month was S94,05O,
an increase of SAL 800 over March of last
year.
For the first quarter of 1880 the per-
mits shov total of S190,1S6 AGAINST
total of $l06,405 for the same period last
year, or sn increase of $50,
This hsrdly sounds in the same key as
the claim that business is not so good or
that Ell Centro is standing still 1t in
dicates that business here is good, and
that. he city is going forward with the
same5 bteady pace it has shown for sever
al years past.
TIE city engineers office points out
that many of the permits were for resi-
dences, also that the average value of
homes built here has risen from $4,000
decade ago, to $4,000. The day of the
packing box adorned with canvas flaps
has passed and Ell Centro residents are
now building for permanency.
There Is still room for more homes
here. Our housing shortage has not been
entirely relieved and only steady build
ing throughout the next few months will
avert serious condition next fall and
winter.
There is every indication that all rec
ords fqr building will be broken during

the pehirhists will be convinced.

MRS. FUNSTON'S PENSION

Once more we will hand it to Senator
Hiram Johnson, whose name may be an
athena to some Californians, but who is
considered great deal of all right in I'M
perial Valley.
Readers of this column may recall
some months ago an article relating the
plight of Mrs. Fred Funston, widow of
General Fred Funston, noted American
soldier and captor of Aguinaldo in the
Philippine campaign.
Mrs. Funston, with a family to raise,
was unable to struggle along on the mis-
ment, and was forced to 60 out working
herself in order to keep the wolf from the
door.
Such ungratefulness on the part of
rich nation was challenged by Senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas, Funstons
home state, who introduced a bill to
grant Mrs. Funston a pension of $500
a year.
His bill was passed by the senate this
week, but before being passed it had been
'doctored" by Hiram, who boosted the
ante to $4,000 year. It has been refer
red to the house where it is expected to
meet little opposition and will then be
sent to the President for his signature.
Funston did not ask anything from the
government when he was risking his life
in the Spanish-American war of the Phil
ippine campaign. That his widow should
have known the touch of poverty follow
ing his death is a disgrace to the nation,
which is not giving charity but merely
saving it's face in allowing Mrs. rum
