in that legislation to the President
were many, broad and far-reaching.
The regulations that he Is to make
cover wide field and will affect mil
lions. But the Congress felt, and am
sure the country feels, that the keen
sense Of fairness and justice possessed
by the President. will direct his course,
and whatever his conclusions may be,
they will be based upon that fine and
humane impulse that has, moved him
throughout his public career.
Federal Employees Pay.
With respect to that portion Of the
act which deals with the compensation
paid to the employees of the Govern
ment, several things were provided for.
First, there are no exemptions OF
any sort or description Every one, from
the highest to the lowest. makes his
contribution to the maintenance Of the
credit of your Government.
Secondly, 1t defines that contribu-
tion in the following way: It pro-
vides for determination Of the cost
of living during the last half Of the
year 1923. 1t then provides for a de-
termination of the cost Of living dur
ing the first half of this year. The
percentage Of decline in cost Of living
as between the first half of this year
and the last half Of 1928, is the per-
centage Of reduction which will be ap-
piled to the compensation Of employees
Of your Government.
It then provides that this determi-
nation Of the percentage decline in the
cost Of living shall be made every six
months, and that the percentage so de-
termined shall be applied to the COM
pensation Of Federal employees for the
following six months. There Is nothing
harsh or unfair about this provision.
The cost Of living throughout the United
States has fallen. We all have sus-
tanned very substantial reductions in
our income, and it is only fair that
the employees of the United States Gov
ernment. in the interest Of the credit
of our Government sustain some reduc-
ton in their income
The act provides that in no event.
shall the reduction exceed IS per cent
year ending June 80, 1881. 1t provides
that there shall be no pyramiding of
cuts. If the survey should reveal an
increased cost of living the President
shall order increases in governmental
salaries. 1t treats all alike with fair
ness and equity.
The third portion of the bill, having
to do with reorganization Of the agen-
cies of the Government and the elimi-
nation of unnecessary functions. merely
permits speeding up Of the economies
which may be effected in this way, 50
that the retrenchments incident to the
reorganization may be felt as soon as
possible in this fiscal year and in the
next.
Under provisions Of the bill to main

approximately $500, ,000. 900 can be saved
Under the reorganization and elimina-
ton powers which the President now
has, approximately $3.50 ,000, 900 in econ
omies can be effected.
In addition, there are other items ol
expenditures which can be reduced in
the appropriate amount of 500, ,00O, 900
It Is conservatively estimated. there

| and the gasoline tax, in all reasonable
fepestsncy, the indicated deficit for ths
fiscal year 1884 has been eliminated
There may be some difference between
actual revenues and estimated revenues
but as nearly as it can now be stated
the action Of the Congress during the
, last two weeks has brought our expen-
ditures for the fiscal year 1884 into
equilibrium with our revenues. The goal
| therefore, Of balanced budget is with
IN sight. The cre6it of the United
States has been made secure.
Two Weeks Accomplishments.
In two weeks President Roosevelt and
the Congress have accomplished what
previous Congresses have been attempt
ing to do for three years. The Presi-
dent had plan and has acted courage
ously and promptly. It has been :'e-
freshing to witness the fine co-opera-
ton and splendid readiness upon the
part Of the members Of both houses OF
Congress in carrying forward the ideas
into the enactment of law. In the Con-
greSs, throughout the discussion and
consideration Of this measure. there has
been broad and unselfish spirit to meet
the situation and solve these delicate
problems, without thought of selfish
political interest or party advantage.
We have passed through trying and
hectic days in Congress since Mr.. Roose-
welt became President. 1t is not an easy
matter to vote to take away from large
groups Of people something that they
have been receiving. 1t is not a pleas
ant task to reduce wages. 1t takes cour-
age and a fine sense of real American
ism to do 1t. But 1t has been done, and
am delighted tonight, as a Democrat,
to pay my tribute to the Republican
members Of the House OF Representa-
tives and the Senate, who have arisen
above party consideration, and CO.
operated In the finest spirit in this great
crisis Of our country's history.
1t may be. when history Is written,
the happenings of the last IA days will
be Of as great significance in the annals
Of Western civilization as any other like

Machinery Is Good,
But MAN Is Better

The great trouble with so
many Of us today is that we
stubbornly ignore essential
facts, A distinguished gen.
tleman, with whom we al
most always agree, says that
"the demand for food and
clothing is just as great to-
day as it was in the summer
Of 1929," and that the
money to buy it is still here.
That is an understatement.
The demand among millions
is much greater today than
in 1929, but. these do not
have the money with which
to act on the demand.
And then there are those
with comparatively small in
comes who find their pur-
chasing power greatly re-
duced by the enormous taxes
Of today, which Congress is
thinking about increasing.
Wouldr't it seem, there
fore, that at this. juncture
the problem is not so much
the invention Of new labor
saving devices to make pos
sible the reduction Of work
ing forces as the discovery
of a way to so use these
machines as to give labor
the benefit, and to find a
way for the restoration of
the lost purchasing power
OF more than 80 per cent Of
the nation?
We cannot get enthusias-
tic about the invention of
new labor-saving machinery
at this juncture. Machinery
is good, but Man is better.
And we are struggling today
with the vital and desperate
needs of Men. Is it possible
