THOMAS ATTACKS
u. S. SALARY CUTS
Socialist Calls Pay SIashing
MdioCy" When Buying
Power Is Low.

What he termed the "idiocy Of cut
ting salaries while trying to increase the
purchasing power of the public" was
assailed last night by Norman Thomas,
Socialist candidate for President, who
told a mass meeting in the Masonic
Temrle that economy Of this sort has
no place in good government.
The latest proposal to slash the pay
Of the Federal employees, he said, is a
fair sample of the type of government
We can expect from those in power
economical after a fashion, but not
good.
Declaring that about 80 per cent OF
the commodities sold in this country
are bought by salaried workers. Mr.
Thomas asked: 'How are We to restore
the purchasing power of the people il
our Government keeps cutting away at
their salaries-they have no other
means of buying. Economy which cuts
the workers ability to purchase is but
prolonging the depression. 1t depends
on how and where we economic If
pruning budgets is to be of any raj
service. Let us not confuse chWp
government with good government"
He also attacked the sales tax, de-
claring it saddles the burden of poor
government upon the worker. who can
bear it least. The proper remedy. he
said. consists of heavier income taxes
in the higher brackets and more ef-
fective inheritance tax.
He predicted the day is not far away
when the Socialists will become a real
power in this Government.
Darlington Hopes, Socialist member
Of the Pennsylvania Legislature, said
that with the perfection of present
machinery. $4,000, 900 men will be able
to do all the work in this country.
This" he said, will leave us with
35,000.000 unemployed instead Of H.
e00,000."

MUCH CASH LYING
UNUSED IN BANKS
Huge Reserves Revealed as
Mills Reports Treasury Bor-
roWingS at Low Rates.

Huge cash reserves lying idle In the
country'S banks were revealed today by
the Federal Treasury.
This information was contained in q
statement by Secretary Mills to the ef-
feet that an offering Of one-year Treas
ury certificates at y per cent was over
subscribed 16 times. This was all the
more amazing in view of the fact that
the interest is probably the lowest ever
paid on a 12-month issue.
AS far as Treasury records disclosed,
never before has the Government bor-
rowed money for so long a period so
cheaply on this class of security. though
90-day bills have been purchased eager
ly at still lower rates.
Other Issues Oversubscribed.
The same announcement told also of
another tremendous oversubscription--
nearly 20 times-on an offering of "a
per cent fouryear notes.
In exact figures, the Treasury Of
fered $250.000,000 Of the one-year GER
tificates and received subscriptions ex-
ceeding S4,128, 100000. 1t offered $780,
100000 of the four-year notes. and SUBJ
scriptions exceeded S6,677, ,000, 900. Both
issues were dated December Is.
Treasury officials, aware that bank
cash reserves were the greatest in his
tory, nevertheless were surprised at the
keenneSs of the bidding and the will
ingnsS of bankers to tie up funds for
an entire year at the low interest OF
q per cent.
For the Government it spelled anew
huge resources for borrowing, even at
interest rates that have been moving
downward. The cheaper money meant
also, lower cost for carrying the $20,-
600, 900 900 national debt.
