the budget at this session of Congress

President Hoover is preparing. it is
reported, to send to the Congress next
week a budget message, calling upon
the legislators to balance the Govern
mens'S budget as prime necessity for
the liability of credit End recovery.
He will, in effect. place the Democratic
lea dcrship. in Congress and out. "on
the spot" The country knows that
cnly through the Democratic leadership
in Congress today can any material leg
islation be enacted at the short ses-
sion: that every piece OF legs
lation suggested by the President
could be killed by the Democrats. who
hold control of the House. and, to ai
intcnts and purposes, control OF the
Senate as well. Therefore, 1t bchooves
the Democrats to stir themselves, either
that or admit frankly to the country
that they have no plan for balancing
the budget which can receive the APP
proval of the Congress and the Presi-
dent at this time, and that the budget
balancing must wait for q special ses-
sion of the new Congress.
Perhaps the Democratic leadership
would be wiser to admit frankly that
nothing can be accomplished at the
present short session of Congress. They
might tell the country that under the
circumstances they, the Democrats, will
perfect legislative program in the re-
naming weeks before they take COM
plete control of the Government. ami
have it ready for action by the new
Congress in the carly Spring. With
sucn declaration they could turn their
attention wholly to the passsge of the
necessary appropriation bills and such
ot.lcc necessary but non-contrCvcrsisl
matters as are a. hand. Thc Senate might
even bring forward for confederation
The new protocol of adherence to the
Wcrld Court, which has hung fire for
50 many years.
II It has become clear. and many be-
lieva it to b. the case, that there is no
chance Of enacting into law the beer
bill, the budget balancing tax legisla-
ton, or the farm relief bi.l-for what
ever cause-would the Congress not be
justified In turning to other legislation
which it can enact? OF the pres
ent session there remains exactly seven
weeks. Up to the present time, although
the Congress has bsen in session since
December 5, the Senate has passed none
of the big annual supply bills. Its only
appropriation bill to go through 50 far
is deficiency measure.
When the Pre5ident-elect and his
Democratic friends in the House and
Senate get together for conferences. the
program which their party is to ad-
vance in the new Congress should hold
attention. After all, that is to be the test
Apparently they can do nothing at this
session. Even such legislation as they
appear to desire, like the beer bill and
the farm relief bill. stand no chance of
becoming law because of tine opposition
of President Hoover and the Repub-
hcans in Congress. In the next Con-
gress, however with overwhelming
Democratic ,najorities In House and
Senate, the country will expect posi-
tive and beneficial program of legisla-
tom program that has yet to be

Protests Use of Edison's
Name by New Institute

To the Editor Of The Star:
Over seven years ago Thomas A.
Edison advised new policy for public
utilities to follow. Because 1t was not
accepted at that time, the National
Electric Light Association, one Of the
Oldest and. most influential organiza-
tions Of its kind in the world, is now to
be dissolved and a new association
formed, as the old one seems to be
damaged beyond repair.
In taking the name Edison Electric
Institute, the new association will have,
much to live up to, for Thomas Alva
Edison was of kind and generous
nature and took great pleasure and in
terest in helping others. He knew that
real progress, real success. real salts
faction, is not in material things, but
is spiritual, divinely mental-in true
consciousness; He cared for money
only as it enabled him to carry on his
good works.
new era is dawning for America
and a golden opportunity awaits the
EDISON Electric Institute. Edison ad-
y-scd. in regard to the public, that a
public utility should lay all its cards
on the table and play the game fair
and square, and that employees should
share in the profits of the utility.
In using the name Edison to empha-
size the character Of the new associa-
ton, very great responsibility is as
sumed. May those who advise, dis
cuss and promulgate behind its doors
realize fully the spirit Of Edison and
his work-for the American people will
not hold him blameless who. In such a
case, fails to live up to his principles.
What fine thing 1t would be If the
Edison Electric. Institute would incor-
porate and actively support the policies
and wishes of the founder Of the In
dustry, and thus create the confidence
est resuits In business and the best in
terest of the countu
