 But ali was well. Hundreds or guests crowded the embassay. some camo in cutnways and top hats, others fin business attire. Nearly all tho diplomatic corps was there,. along with cabinet secretar- ieg, members of congress, and so- cial highlights.

TALKS TO LODGE
BALANCED BUDGET NOT LIKE
LY IN '33 COLLECTOR
SAYS

A feature of the meeting Tues.
day night of Chapter No. 35, R,
A. NJ. was an address by G. A. Ras.
mussen of Helena internal revenue
collector an high official of the
grand lodge r. A. M.
He gave an interesting talk on
Masonry and then continued his
address by giving some facts and
figures regarding our government,
its income and expenditures. He
does not expect a balanced budget
the coming year, and probably not
for two years, under the most fav-
orable conditions. He says that
March 16 Washington is going to
wake up and find its income cur
tailed beyond its most pessimistic
expectations. The indebtedness Of
the people of the United States
amounts to s171. O2O, 5000 or about
$1400 per capita. People can't pay
the in crest on that amount, let
alone the principal.
Our national income is about so
billion dollars and the cost of all
government, national, state and To-
cal is about $40, 600, 900, 900, so that
one dollar in four goes for gov
eminent. This years income has
been so cut that next year the ra-
ito of outgo to income will be a.
bout one to three unless drastic
are taken to reduce gov
eminent costs. He suggested the
need of beginning the cutting at
the top.
He said that the governor-elect
of Iowa and Alfred E. Smith had
both suggested feasible plans for
settling the foreign debt problem.

N0RTHSIDE CHILDREN
HAVE A SKATING RINK

At the direction OF the city
council, Todd Stanley, street com
missioner, has made an ice rink
for the Northsiders, a short dis
lance northeast of the Great Nor
thern depot. The natural condition
of the ground there is good for
holding water.
The Southside rink, south of the
Herald office, is now in fair con-
dition excepting for a little snow.
A deep strata of sand, not far be-
low the surface, makes it difficult
to get the ground saturated so as
to prevent the water from soaking
away from under the ice, causing
the ice to settle and crack. The
commissioner says that next year
he will see that the rink site is
we'll soaked before the freezeup
comes.
