Senators Consulted on Plan
to Slash Federal Costs;
Congress Awaits Message

A new Hoover economy pro-
gram, capable Of slashing
$25O,O0O,O0O from the cost OF
F deral Government, was
awaited by Congress today as
the Senate and House leaders
planned an agreement on bal
ancing the budget.
The economy program was con-
sidered as necessary in the budget
balancing calculations as the new
$1,030,000,00e revenue bill.
In its present form. the tax bill
will fall 100000 short of CIV
ing enough revenue next year to
balance Treasury books.
If any of the present rates are
reduced before the tax bill is
finally enacted, further economies
must be increased.
The bipartisan Senate Econ
emy Committee breakfasted with
President Hoover at the White
House today and discussed with
him the makeup of a new omni-
bus bill.
Those at the White House were:
Republicans, Jones of Washing
ton, Bingham of Connecticut, and
Dickinson of Iowa; Democrats,
Mcclellan of Tennessee, Bratton
of New Mexico, and ByrneS OF
South Carolina.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mills
and Budget Director Roop also
sat in on the breakfast confer
ence. Mills said:
1--WE discussed reducing ap-
preparations arl authorizing
consultations to effect savings
of J3OO,OOO,OOO in the budget
for the fiscal year 1933."
He indicated the committee
would e11deavor to restore many
of the proposals knocked out OF
the House economy bill recently.
Tax Bill Up Tomorrow
Consideration of the tax bill
will start tomorrow or Friday.
At that time, the President is ex-
pected to send message to Con-
gress. restating his economy pro-
gram.
It's outstanding features will be
a 30-day furlough without pay for
all Government employees and "a
request for outright power to con-
Solidate minor bureaus and COM
missions.
Presumably working on this
latest message on the financial
status of the nation, Mr.. Hoover
was closeted for nearly four hours
last night with three of his prin-
cipal advisers on economic and
political questions.
Cabinet Heads Confer
Secretary of the Treasury Mills,
Acting Secretary of State Castle.
and Secretary of War Hurley re-
manned in the Presidents office
almost two hours, following which
Mills stayed for a further two
hour conference, sending for
Budget Director j. C. Roop at one
time.
This trio discussed the Demo
cratic tariff bill now awaiting
Presidential veto.
The measure takes away from
the President the right to make
changes in the tariff law on rec.
ommendation of the Tariff Com
mission and vests final power to
use the flexible provision with
Congress.
In addition, it directs the Presi-
dent to call an international con-
ference to obtain reciprocally
lower tariff agreements.
Mr.. HooVer'S original economy
recommendations to the House
were mutilated by that body. His
5000, 100000 program of savings
was reduced to 100000
His request for power to con.
solidate bureaus was hamstrung
by rider" giving either branch
of Congress authority to veto all
his proposals.

It IS not thaC the dignity OF OUI-
gress is imperiled. My only feel
ing is that these diversions are
proper to men who labor steadily,
week in and week out, who have
no fun in their profession, whose
minds become logged with thinking
and need to be cleared by puff of
comedy and a touch of sweet
human life. If baseball players or
street cleaners took time out in this
way would sympathize perfectly;
but that Congress, which is the
most frivolous body on earth-any
Congress, not merely our own
should need relaxation, passes un-
derstanding.

The Hoover Doctrine

Acting Secretary of State William R. Castle has ex-
pounded the new Hoover policy in terms which any
one can understand 1t has always been brief and
sounded effective. The United States will mot recog
nze any situation, treaty agreement which may be
brought about by any contrary to the covenants
and obligations of the Pact of Paris In short those
that live by the sword may not perish by the sword
but they needn't count helping hand from
Japan may acquire Manchura, but will not recog-
nize her position in Manchuria. We hope she'll be
sorry.

Offensive-Defensive

The frivolity in Washington is only matched by that
of Geneva where delegates from the nations of the
world are attempting to decide whether the submarine
and the aircraft carrier offensive weapons or-l
suppose-toys for the children The experts disagree,
and by coincidence hardly noticed outside muir
der trials when aensts also disagree in the way,
each expert is the side of his country. Mr..
Sato, the Japanese, admitted that vessel carrying
arplanes might help fleet to maintain defensive
operations, but blandly insisted that the fleet could
not have got into distant waters without aggressive in
tentions ct will be remembered that all the parties
to this discussion have outlawed instrument
of policy. They discussing popular
outdoor SPORT nothing more
And Germany
Mr. Sato holds the submarine to be purely defensive
and therefore hates the offensive arplane carrier all
the more because it virtually ruin a good sub
marine. Our Senator Swanson defends carriers,
but the German delegate with that unfortunate Teu-
tonic memory reminds all that at Versailles we took
away carriers and submarines from his country be-
cause they offensive.
Behind the Scenes
1t occurs to that the delegates at Geneva are
gang of comedians running through familiar patter,
and ad libbng little, while change of scenery is
being made behind the drop curtain. Maybe, when
the curtain goes up, there will be nice outlawed
in full action with nothing but defensive
on all Sides That will be the moment for all of to
gasp our "Ahs 1t will be the last gasp for most of
US, anyhow.

BOARD TO OPPOSE
Rail RATE BOOST
Plan to Resist Proposal Of Car
riers to Restore Higher
Gasoline Tariffs

Efforts Of the railroads to restore
higher carload rates on gasoline and
other petroleum products from the
southwest to North Dakota will be
opposed by the North Dakota rail-
road commission.
Reductions in the rates were made
effective June IA, 1928, and additional
decreases were granted by the inter-
state commerce commission March
is, 1882. The railroads instituted
court action and the United States
district court recently ordered the
1928 rates be restored.
An application has been made to
the interstate commerce commission
by the railroads for authority to re-
store the old rates. Members of the
North Dakota commission said they
expected the application to be grant,
ed within the next few days.
Several years Of litigation before
the I. c. G. preceded the action of
the federal commission ordering re-
duced carload rates on gasoline and
petroleum products In June, 1928.
Further hearings followed and re-
suited in the additional reductions
made effective in March, 1892. The
railroads were unsuccessful In their
efforts to postpone the effective date
and to reopen the case to permit the
railroads to show changed conditions.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
/ MUST PAY TUITION
Attorney General Rules Those
Without High Schools
Cannot Evade Law

= A school district which does not
offer high school facilities cannot re-
fuse to pay tuition for its students
who attend standardized high schools
IN other districts Of the state, ac-
cordlng to an opinion by Attorney
General James Morris.
The attorney general was advised
by ". E. Parsons, deputy superin-
tendent Of public instruction, that a
number of districts have given notice
that the tuition will not be paid dur
ing the coming year because Of finan-
cial stringency.
Morris ruled that any student Of a
school district not furnishing high
school facilities may attend a stand
ardized high school in the state. At
the close of the school year the school
district maintaining the high school
may bill the students home school
district for tuition at the rate Of 81 a
week, Morris said.
On failure Of the home school dis
trict to pay, the school district MAIN
tanning the high school may sue and
recover judgment for this tuition and
an order may be secured requiring the
district to levy tax for the payment
OF the judgment in an amount five
mills IN excess Of the usual tax levy
limitation, according to the attorney
general.
mo notice Of any kind is sufficient
under the law to relieve the rural
school district from the payment of
this tuition" Morris said.
In another opinion the attorney
general held that where payment is
being made to high schools for nom
resident pupils, no deductions should
be made for simple absences from
school during the period for which
the student is enrolled.
