Roosevelt Outlines Drop
In Government Revenues
Sees Deficit Of Billion For 1895
Unless Action 10 Taken
Immediately

Washington. March 10.-(ReThe
text Of President Roosevelt,s economy
message follows:
The nation is deeply gratified by the
immediate response given yesterday
by the congress to the necessity for
drastic action to restore and improve
our banking system.
A like necessity exists with respect
to the finances Of the government it
self which requires equally courage
Gus, frank and prompt action.
For three long years the fedora;
government has been on the road to-
ward bankruptcy.
For the fiscal year 1881 the deficit
was $462, 900 900.
For the fiscal year 1882 it was "a
472. 000. 900.
FOR the fiscal year 1888 It win prob
ably will excel Il 400 000. 900.
For the fiscal year 1894, based on
the appropriation bills passed by the
last congress and the estimated rev.
enue. the deficit will probably exceed
81 600 000, 900 unless immediate action
Is taken.
Thus We shall have piled up an &C.
cumulated deficit Of 5000, 400, 900.
With the utmost seriousness point
out to the congress the profound ef-
feet Of this fact upon our national
economy.
Contributed 70 Collapse
It has contributed to the recent
collapse Of our banking structure. It
has accentuated the stagnation Of the
economic life Of our people. It has
added to the ranks Of the unemployed.
Our governments house Is not In or.
der and for many reasons no effective
action has been taken to restore It to
order.
Upon the unimpaired credit Of the
United States government rest the
safety Of deposits. the security Of In
surance policies. the activity Of indus
trial enterprises, the value Of our ag-
ricultural products and the available
ity Of employment.
The credit Of . the United States
government definitely affects these
fundamental human values. It,
therefore, becomes our first concern
to make secure the foundation. Ma
tional recovery depends upon It.
TOO often In recent history liberal
governments have been wrecked ca
rocks Of loose fiscal policy. We must
avoid this danger.
It i too late for leis,lrely approach
10 this problem. We must not wait ia
act several months hence. The emery
ency = accentuated by the necessity Of
meeting great refunding operation
this spring.
We must move with q direct and
resolute purpose now. The members
Of the congress and ! are pledged e

ming power could broadcast with 500

Thus, say the engineers, an improved
condition would be wrought all around.
Every station bearing the same relative
power position with every other would
serve its regular listeners with stronger
and more effective signals. and at the
same time all would extend their services
to new listeners now outside their re-
ception ranges.
concerned, Is really one-horSe propo-
sition, these engineers insist. A 100
watt station actually generates little
more than one horsepower, for 67A
watts equals one horsepower. And
those behemoths of radio in the United
States-stations licensed to broadcast
with the maximum power Of $4,000
watts-actually generate about as much
power as modern medium priced auto
mobile.
The danger Of blanketing Of re-
ceivers used by listeners has been elm
mated largely by the production of more
selective receivers. The horizontal in
crease proposal is said to accord with
modern trends in broadcasting tech
nique. In Europe there are a dozen
stations built or building capable Of
powers of more than 100000 watts.
while Russia has completed half
million watt colossus. Station WLW,

An imitation Of all broadcasting pow

more stations without any additional

radio industry. Broadcasters and their

of so-called horizontal increases" Of
powers Of all stations on any or all the
wave lengths, are asserting the advan-

his discovery in paper delivered be-

Union holding its annual meeting here.
The waves appear to come from the
center of the galaxy and were detected
on specially devised apparatus at 146
meters. This is in the short-wave
portion of the radio spectrum.
With the Milky Way appearing to
broadcast to Mother Earth, it is be-
lieved that the formerly unknown hiss
type of static has been definitely iden-
tilted The radiations appear to be di-
recticnal, being aimed directly at the
earth and thus differing from thunder

It is well that this plan has been abandoned or least

been able to prove that the proposed form
would give the city better administration than the form
