one thousand irate farmers demon
strating against a farm mortgage

tear gas bombs, revolvers and clubs,
and reinforcements by the fire de-
partment with hoses trained.

gion vigilantes.

These are in addition to economies
which may result from government
al changes now being studied for
Mr.. Roosevelt by Swagar Sherley of
Kentucky.
The latter was delegated to survey
the whole field of governmental &C
tivity by the President-elect more
than month ago, and it is under
stood he will submit his report soon
after Mr.. Roosevelt takes Office on
March 4.
Mr.. Hoover has indicated that he
hopes to be able to present his rec
concentrations to congress on this
score at the special session slated
for about April l.
Faces Great Controversy
The proposal to reduce veterans
expenditures, which now total al
most $1,000, 100000 a year, represents
a move which no recent adminiStra-
ton has dared to make, and it
probably will plunge the new Presi-
dent into considerable controversy.
Almost every witness at the senate
finance committees depression clinic
has urged it as part of program
to cut federal costs.
Committee members Concede that
$400,000,000 could be saved in serv-
ices and payments to veterans who
were not injured in the war, but
they also admit the obstacles are
many.
Many of Mr.. Roosevelt's advisers
have urged consolidation of the
army and navy, with Bernard M
Baruch the principal prepayment of
this scheme, but the President elect
has not committed himself.
Seek Balanced Budget
The next administration, accord
ing to its spokesman, may not be
able to balance the budget i'm
mediately, but it hopes to put in
motion machinery that will move
toward that end.
In discussing this question,
financiers have told the senate
finance committee that definite
evidence of desire to balance the
budget in the first year of the new
administration would have almost
the same psychological effect on
business, industry and credit as an
actual striking of a balance.
In addition to these savings, it is
believed that a long stride toward
placing federal finances on a sound
err basis can be taken through use
of the "dictatorial power lodged
in the next President, possible beer
tax estimated to return $150.000,000
annually and continuation of the
gasoline tax with an annual revenue
of $3.50 900 900.
