A cubbyhole Of room squeezed in, as

useless agency in Norfolk similar to the
one already established in Roanoke. +"
He charged that they are nothing
more than political agencies"

DEFICIT EXCEEDS
BILLION AND HALF
Government Operating Loss
for Six Months Is Greater
Than Previous Years.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Governments loss on its finan-
cial operations from last July to jan
uary % passed the one and a half BILL
lion dollar mark on the latter date.
At the close of business on January
%, the TreaSury'S Statement-lSSued
today-shoWed the Government had col
lected from all sources 1924, ,738, ,592
and had spent $2,725, ,814832, leaving a
deficit of 81 sol ,076, $50.
The deficit for the months and %
days of the 1882 fiscal year was ap-
proximately $500 100000 more than for
the entire preceding fiscal year, when
it amounted to S903,000,000.
Likely TO Be Increased.
The billion and half deficit, how
ever. was expected to increase as the
remaining five months and eight days
of the fiscal year passed and be at
least 50 100000 on next June 30.
If the TreaSury's tax program is
adopted by Congress, its 100000, 900
more income year is expected to halt
the deficit soon after it passes the 81
000,000,000 mark. Unless, however,
Congress raises that amount, the deficit
is expected to soar above the figure
set by Treasury estimates.
The income tax has caused the chief
decrease in revenue, dropping from ST.
29,791 GAS, year ago, to $630,567
579 this year Miscellaneous internal
revenue decreased $25,0OO,O 900 to S3Ol,-
100000, while customs duties dropped
from $222,O0O.OO0 year ago to $2l9,-
100000 this year.
Reductions Planned.
Strenuous efforts are being made in
Congress to reduce expenditures to aid
in meeting the situation.
The Budget Bureau has pared esti-
mates millions below those for last
year and in turn the House Appropria-
tionS Committee has trimmed the
amounts called for in the money bills
thus far reported.
1t Slashed the SITS 100000 Agricul-
ture Department supply bill by $l0,-
100000 and the Interior Department
supply measure by $6,0O0,0O0.
The financial situation caused the
House Naval Committee to agree that
a $6lG,0 ,000,000000 naval bill would not
be pressed for action at this term.
Several proposals to reduce Govern
ment salaries have been made, but thus
far no action has been taken on them.

NO DEFICIT in FARMER.LABOR
ADMINISTRATION

Editor Askov American:
The last issue of the Askov Amer
lean contained letter finding fault
with the speech made by Gov. Olson
at our county fair and with his term
as Governor of Minnesota. A large
crowd heard the talk, and appreciated
some of his efforts on behalf of the
farm population. Mr.. Hartland, to-
gether with some Republican politi-
clans were among a few who were
disappointed as they we'll understand
that Gov. Olson made many friends
in his fine talk on taxation. His
ideas and work on the state income
tax is spreading so fast over the
whole state that even now the Repub-
lican politicians are afraid to come
out against it. AS our county attor-
ney, Mr.. Hurley, we'll said, Governor
Olson is able, fearless, man of the
people, grown up amongst the COM
mon classes, and a man with fine
human instincts, one who knows the
needs of the people and labors for
them" l agree with our county at
torney and feel that Mr.. Hartland is
being misled. The people of Mime
sofa elected fine governor, but sent
legislature, two-thirds of which OPP
posed the governor, through the whole
session. The legislature, which was
Republican, made the appropriations.
Now if you will look up the compari-
son of the 1929 and the 1881 appropria-
tions, you will find a comparison of
the expenditures authorized by the
1929 and 1881 legislature payable
ultimately by tax levies and moneys
from the revenue fund shows that in
1881 the amount was S48,093, 320.58.
In 1929 it was more than 49b mill
lions. In other words the legislature
of 1929 authorized the expenditure of
one and half million dollars more
than the legislature which functioned
with Gov. Olson during the year 1881.
FOrty-three per cent of the appropria-
tions by the 1881 legislature were to
pay for projects authorized by the
previous legislature. The building pro-
gram alone during the present bien-
mum, including repairs, replacement,
etc., is two and one half million dol
lars in excess of that of the previous
biennium. Still these gentlemen are
talking about expenditures in Mime
sofa. May we not call their attention
to the fact that President Hoover's
administration has huge deficit, and
there is no deficit on the Farmer-La-
Dor administration of the Farmer
Labor party.
These are words of Gov. Olson him
self given in a speech which l was
privileged to hear in the city of St.
Paul.
One who is for the Farmer-Labor
ticket straight.
