tainly had some poor book
keepers-they always wound up
with deficits. The Roosevelt
administration will have bal
anced budget. no deficits, and while
there will be a decided increase in the
net public debt, probably about $5,OO0,-
OOO. 900, this, after all, is mere matter
of the point of view.
Back about year ago when the
genial chairman Of the House Appropri-
ations Committee, Joseph Byrns OF Ten
nessee, was estimating the expenditures
of the Government under the Hoover
administration, he counted 1t up to
about $4,000, 100000 He construed
even Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton loans as direct expense irrespec-
tive of whether any money ever came
back in the form of repayment. And,
based upon the procedure heretofore.
he was absolutely right. For money
paid out is considered separate from
money paid in, even though 1t was re-
payment of a loan. Thus for years
when the Government under the Re-
publican regime sold salvaged war sup
plies, the money was turned into gen.
eral receipts and in the end there was
a surplus of the total budget. Some
thing like $1,000, 100000 was received
that way.
Items Kept Separate.
So now when it comes to setting up
the figures to make them look attrac-
tive, the Democrats are drawing a dis
tinction between capital expenditures
and current operating expenses. They
are differentiating between lending
functions of Government agencies. like
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation

urban communities and actual admin

FAIL TO AGREE ON
ALLOTMENT SCHEME
Senate Committee Argues on
Restricting Bill, Dropping
Acreage Cut Plan

washington, Jan. 2l.-The senate
agriculture committee Saturday con-
sidered but failed to agree on limit
ing the domestic allotment" farm
relief bill to cotton and wheat. and
striking out all acreage reduction pro-
visions.
Committee members said the trend
was toward combining the bill to
wheat and cotton.
This would add also to the ad-
ministrative simplification Of the
act" said Chairman McNary Rep.,
Ore.).
On elimination Of the bills provi-
sions for requiring 20 per cent cur
tailment of production before FARM
er would become eligible to receive q
bounty, the committee was divided.
Chairman McNary said he thought
the committee also would eliminate
parity" provisions Of the present bill
which sets forth q complicated meth
Cd Of bringing agricultural products
to their pre-war ratio with CONNER
cial commodities.
Instead, he said, it now has been
proposed to simply take the average
price Of the farm product between
1909 and 1914 and make the bounty
an amount sufficient to bring the
present price up to that figure.
McNary himself suggested this
change, pointing out that five pages
Of the present bin are devoted to
complex directions for finding the
parity value.

New Proposal Said to Have Bet

Than Parity Scheme
HAS R0OSEvELT'S BACKING

Washington, Jan. 21.-(R-Con-
gressional approval Of bold Demo-
cratic plan for easing the burden on
debt-laden farmers was predicted In
some quarters Saturday despite
stir Of opposition to its sweeping
character.
Companion to the revolutionary
domestic allotment" measure design
ed to boost farm prices, the mortgage
plan calls for natiOn-w wide system
of "conciliation commissioner to
scale down by agreements between
creditor and debtor the billions of
dollars which the farmers owe.
The proposal, sprung on congress
Friday by the Democratic leader Of
the senate. Robinson, of Arkansas, Is
the second major phase of the farm
relief program advanced by the big
agricultural organizations and backed
by President-elect Roosevelt.
Many were quick to say the debt
adjustment legislation would have q
much better chance for enactment
this session than the domestic allot-
ment bill which, frequent reports
have 1t, faces q veto by President
Hoover II 1t should pass.
Hoover, himself, In q special mes
sage to congress, asked for emergency
legislation to liberalize the bank
ruptcy laws SO that individuals, cor
porations and railroads could tho
better work out their difficulties and
continue In business.
Only Friday the house judiciary
committee reported favorahly on leg
islation along this general line. The
Robinson proposal was presented BY
him as an amendment to be pro-
posed IN the senate to this legislation
when 1t comes over from the house,
assuming 1t passes In tho latter
branch.
