The House YardStick
District Bill Differences

The troublesome question of fiscal relations between the
Federal and District Governments again the bone of
tenon between the House and Senate conferees the local
appropriation bill
Representatives of the House said to be vigorously
posed to the Senate proposal to increase the item from
$5700000 provided by the House $6250000 the
which received Senate approval.
Conditions surrounding the appropriation bill this year
different than they have ever been before.
The budget has been reduced to the absolute minimum and
has been held to that minimum by both the Senate and the
House.
Both houses further in cutting the Federal share than
they would have under normal conditions
The House accepted the figure proposed by the Bureau of
the Budget, which based its recommendation upon per
cenge cut Of the contribution equal the percentage by
which the total budget reduced.
BY the time the bill had passed the Senate District officials
and citizens able to and suggest alterations and
notifications of the items which would permit the e
fecve funconng Of the government than would have been
possible under the bill it passed the House.
In order to accomplish this objective the Senate reapprop
ated several uneXpended balances and eliminated the
due the Federal Government under the Capper Cramon
When the Senate tackled the fiscal relations item however
decided not to per with the principle which the House and
the Bureau Of the Budget had used in arriving 7000
figure.
In reaching this decision the Senate abandoned temporarily
It's traditional policy Of dealing literally with the National
Capital
The Senate took the Houses yarsck and applying it to the
slightly modified BILL found that the Federal share should be
$6,250,00O
Under the circumstances since the figure was fixed upon
House principles that body should be able to yield the
Senate with good grace.

Army And Navy
Not Political Pie

The power which Presl-
dent Roosevelt is determined
that Congress shall not
usurp is that which the Con-
stitution gives him to make
nominations for Army and
Navy vacancies on the basis
of fitness as revealed in
military and naval records.
Ever since the Roosevelt
Administration e n t e e d
power, strong pressure has
been brought to bear upon it
to fill vacancies in the ad-
ministrative posts of the
Army and Navy upon the po-
litical recommendations Of
Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress.
At one of the early Cabi-
net meetings Of his Admins
tration, Mr.. Roosevelt made
known his purpose to consult
his military and naval ad-

visers and not Democratic
politicians in filling military
and naval vacancies in the
armed services.
The list of nominations for
vacancies in administrative
offices of the Army, which
the President has recently
sent to the Senate, proves
that he meant what he said
to the Cabinet. In not one
case has political favoritism
been shown, and in every
case the recommendation of
the Presidents military ad-
visers has been followed.
By protecting the Army
and Navy from the raids of
pork-barrel politicians and
patronage chasers, President
Roosevelt has rendered a
service to the morale of our
defenders with the Colors
that will prove Of meal
culable and lasting value.
By refusing the power to
cancel contracts of the Gov
ernment merely to save
money, the Roosevelt Admin
istration keeps faith with its
citizens.
By resisting the pressure
to make military and naval
appointments at the behest
of politicians instead of on
the basis of military and
naval records, the Roosevelt
Administration keeps faith
with our defenders with the
Colors.

ONCE OVERS

Often it is pure thoughtless-
ness that causes so much neg
lect and an attitude of 'let
George do it,"
Few of the home folk really
wish to be mean and lazy.
They just slump when it comes
to doing for the home.
A spirit of retaliation won't
get the desired result Of inter
esting them enough to secure
from them the service each
member of the family should
give at home.
Doing a favor, when the OPP
posite treatment is expected,
sometimes brings about a
change of heart; or a quiet,
heartto- heart talk between in
dividual members has been
known to help toward under
standing and results.

Home Work for Everyone

Home Work for Everyone
Disagreeable little jobs, such
as have to be done in any
home, cause dissensions in
your home because you are un-
willing to do your part.
SenseleSs, it seems to you,
to have to do dirty, messy jobs
at home!
But your pleasure and COM
fort would be greatly lesSened
if you we're to abandon them.
The trouble is that you are
selfish and don't want your
own comfort interfered with;
and you want to forget that
one to do some little things in
a home that are not always
agreeable from a personal
standpoint.
Each member of a household
has a duty to perform. essen

good Of the whole family.

gone before; and Of all the
lives that lay ahead-all the
poor, bewildered, struggling
lives since man first began.
Life mired in swamps-trapped
in jungles-chained in slavery
fleeing across desert sands
weak, helpless, terrified, starv-
ing-trying to make a nation
of itself-trying to find a law
for itself.
CAS- you and I have fled! AS
you and I have gropedD
And then-God's gift of Law.
That glimpse of beauty, truth
and harmony, so radiantly re-
ceived; so soon, so terribly soon
to be forgotten. Yet never
quite forgotten.
Old, old story-old as human
history-yet new with each hui
man birth. Your story. My
story. Everyone's story. All of
us climbing Mount Sinai to
search for God! All of us
breaking the law we had
fought to find!
And now I pin the Ten Com
mandments above my heart
with tears! Almost SO years
since 1 learned the first. Most
of them I've broken. Never a
one, but I wished to break!
How many other gods have I
had? How often have I borne
false witness coveted &.
and grabbed! What did a few
old laws matter?
But now I see so clearly that
they're all that matters! They
are all that we have!
Out of our thousands Of years
of struggle-out of all our
dreams and rebellions, our pride
and pomp, our prayers and sac

human treasure!

as a star in the darkness, the
souls bright dream goes on.
And sol wear the law above
my heart. Break it again? Yes.
God only knows how many
times. And yet.
The law goes on! Goes on
because we wish it to go on, IN
spite of all our SHINING. For
they were not really written on
slabs of stone, those first short
covenants between God and man.
They were written on the heart
of man himself-in his foolish
flesh, in his muddled brain, in
his cropping spirit.
And so, though we break the
law a million times-you and I
still will we keep it. Still will
we hand it on!
Until, at last, Gods will be
really done"

Administration An Example
Instead of a Warning


The argument used by the
minority appears to have ap-
pealed much more strongly
to the President than did
the action of the majority.
For the Federal Govern
ment to cancel contracts
right and left, it was pointed
out, would shake public con-
fidence upon which business
recovery largely depends.
And instead of saving the
Government money, it would
subject it to suits for dam
ages which might exceed
the amount that could be
saved by reckless cancella-
tion of contracts.
Whenever the Govern
ment finds that a contract
is tainted with fraud, there
is ample power to move by
legal means to set it aside.
But the lower house of
Congress, while unwilling
to cancel legal contracts by
legislative action, was ap-
parently quite willing to
thrust that unsavory task
upon the Executive.
By sending word to the
leaders Of both houses that
the action of the Senate
Committee on Appropria-
tions in striking this iniqui-
tous proposal from the
House bill has the hearty
approval Of the President,
Mr.. Roosevelt has made his
administration an example
to private enterprise and in
dividual citizens instead Of
a warning.
This refusal to resort to
an act of bad faith in or
der to reduce Federal ex-
penditures should have help
full repercussions at home
and abroad. It can be cited
as a reason for declining to
permit foreign debtors to
cancel their contractual OBJ
legations to the American
people merely because to do
so would be cheaper than
to pay Europe's war debts
to this country.
The Washington times., 1933-05-20
Keep Faith
With the Jobless

Now the Congress faces
the opportunity and the OBJ
legation to follow the ex-
ample Of the President by
keeping faith with the mil
lions of our unemployed
citizens and their depend
ents.
The President has shown
the way in which this can
best be done by submitting
an extensive program of
public works. 1t can be
quickly started and will pro-
vide work directly and in
directly for many millions.
One House or the other
of Congress has been dilly-
dallying with this problem
for several years. 1t would
seem that the time for de-
bate had ended. What the
country is looking for is
prompt cooperation by the
Congress as soon as posi-
BILE.
Our Government has long
followed the, bad practice
of expending money freely
for public works in good
times and cutting down on
public works in bad times.
What it should do is to in
crease construction work IN
bad times, and when good
times return, set aside a re-
serve that can be used to
finance construction that
will provide employment
when the next emergency
rolls around.
The Washington times., 1933-05-20
Public Works Program
Promises Relief

Such a wise policy was
strongly recommended dur
ing the Harding admlnlstra-
tion by the Presidents con-
ference on unemployment, OF
which Mr.. Hoover was chair
man. Unfortunately this
policy was not carried ont
when the emergency came IN
the Hoover administration.
That is why so many millions
of unemployed have been
denied the adequate rehet
that an emergency program
of public works would pro,
vide.
If Congress will unite IN
support of the Roosevelt pub
lie works program and fol-
low the example of Canada
by financing it with gem
eral manufacturers sales tax,
all the people will have a
hand in reemploying many
of the millions WHO need
work and are unable to
find it.
Nothing will do more in
these difficult days to re-
store the confidence of the
people in the future Of the
country than the heartenlng
example of a Government at
Washington that "keeps the
faith. F"

President Roosevelt has
put both houses of Congress
on notice that there is one
power which he will not
permit his legislative part
ner in the Government to
surrender and another pow
er which he is determined
it shall not usurp.
Recently the House, at the
request Of he Director OF
the Budget, voted the Presl-
dent power to cancel or
modify contracts, legally
and properly made, which
had been entered into IN
good faith by the Govern
ment with it's citizens.
The theory upon which
this extraordinary request
was made was that, armed
with such power, the
Budget Director, acting for
the President, could easily
save millions Of dollars by
the simple process of can
ceiling or modifying any
contract now in existence.
Although this power was
voted by a large majority,
a courageous minority of the
House protested the pro-
priety of the whole pro-
posal.
