OPPOSITION To

Proposal To Cut Wages OF State

SACRAMENTO, March 7. U.P)-
Vigorous opposition to the senate

salaries paid state employees de-
veloped late yesterday at a hear

The State Employees association,
represented by Thomas Stanton, Jr,
submitted arguments against the
fact finding committee proposal to
cut all salaries under $100 five per
cent aud the imposition of 33 l-3
cut on amounts over $100.
Senator David Bush, chairman of

Senator j. M. Inman took excep-

salaries under $100.

The fact is the dollar of 1929 is
worth $1.70 today and that should
be borne in mind when considering

1.-THE taxpayer cannot bear the

Major argument against the pro-

WASHINGTON, March 7. =
Backed by the governors of almost
every state, President Roosevelt
moved steadily forward today to
restore the confidence of the peo-
pie as the first step toward sue
cess of his sweeping program for
economic and financial recovery.
He planned to center his atten-
ton on conferences with cabinet
ministers and banking experts in
rounding out the proposals that
will be submitted to congress when
it meets Thursday in extraordin-
airy session.
All activities except thase perth
nent to the nationwide financial
emergency were subordinated by
Mr.. Roosevelt continuing the poll
cy of decisive action that he initi-
ated Immediately after assuming
office.
The President was hopeful that
the public would react swiftly to
his plan to open new bank ac-
counts which can be drawn upon at
once. Money put in such accounts
must be kept available by the
banks, deposited in the federal re-
serve banks or invested in govern
ment bonds.
Mr.. Roosevelt outlined his brief
but comprehensive plan to the gov
ernors and representatives from 81
states who gathered at the White
House at his call.
Recognized government bonds,
he told the state executives, "are
as safe as government currency.
They have the same credit back
of them. And, therefore, if we
persuade people all through the
country when they salary checks
come in, to deposit them in new
accounts which new accounts will
be held in trust, and the money
kept in one of the new forms ]
have mentioned, we have made
progress"
He praised the states for their
action in the banking crisis, after
ward explaining that 1--WE want, if
possible, to have general bank
ing situation, that is to say cover
ing national banks and state banks.
as uniform as possible throughout
the country and at the same time
we want to cooperate with all the
states in bringing about that uni
formity. have no desire to have
this matter centralized down here
in Washington any more than we
can help"
Mr.. Roosevelt also expressed the
conviction that the public would
accept the plan calling for issuance
of scrip until conditions return to
normal through a return of the
currency that now is being hoard
ed.

(SpeciaD-Everybody is all ex-

need is a fountain pen and a

Say, this Roosevelt is a fast

all a President is supposed to
do is put on a silk hat and have
his picture taken coming out of

closed all the banks, and called
congress in extra session. And
