Economy Legislation

The estimates of appropriations
submitted in the budget are predi-
Gated on the continuation of GER
tain economy legislative provisions
which ask to be enacted and which
are appended hereto. The most
important is that having to do with
reduction of compensation of fed
eral employees.
1t is eminently fair that, the cost
of living having fallen as compared
with 1928, the employees of the
government sustain some reduction
in compensation. This is not in
consistent with our policy of advo-
eating an increase in wages in in
duStry.
For wages there had fallen far
beyond any reduction contemplated
for federal employees and in most
grades are even now substantially
below compensation paid federal
employees under the maximum re-
duction of Is per cent.
Among the legislative provisions
appended hereto is one prohibiting
duGOIIldU4S AlC1 SdOcS III COIIlp6I1Sd-
ton except in the army, navy and
marine corps. The personnel Of
these three services are engaged in
life service to their country.
Some, by reason of the pay
freezes, have sustained reduction ir
compensation of more than Is pei
cent, They are, therefore, in q
different category from those ir
other governmental agencies. They
should, in 1885, be released from the
restrictions on automatic increases
in compensation.

BOND FLOATING
5000, 100000 Plan Seen
as Possible Opening
to Initiation.
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Flotation
Of $1O,OOO0o0,00O of United States
government bonds as outlined by
President Roosevelt in his budget
message can be accomplished with
out serious difficulty, bankers and
bond experts agreed today.
The gigantic operation by the
government between now and July
l would involve issuing $4,000, 900, coo
in new money and $4,000,000 900 to
pay off maturing obligations. It
would be the largest financing oper-
alton since the World war and one
of the largest in financial history.
Probably the course adopted
would be a coordination of the
treasury ana federal reserve system
in selling the bonds, it was said
here. The reserve probably would
invest in a billion dollars of gov
ernments, swelling reserve credit by
$1O000,0000U0 and thus making
easy absorption of the new bonds
by member banks.
Wall Street saw in the operation
the possibility of imitation in two
ways
l. Imitation of credit by the fed
eral reserve through purchase of
government issues.
g. Imitation Of currency through
operation of the law passed in the
bank holiday period of 1888 which
permits the federal reserve to issue
federal reserve bank notes dollar
for dollar on United States govern
ment obligations.

"ruinous rivalries" of the old busi-

added:
Though the machinery hurriedly

from time to time, nevertheless 7
think you will agree with me that
we have created a permanent fea-
ture of our modernized industrial
structure and that it will continue

Later he said that the vicious and
waSteful parts Of society have chosen
the way Of self-deStruction. He
foresaw that the program would
save useful invention, machine pro-
duction, industrial efficiency. and
other things, and would ecourage
the slowly growing impulse" of
consumers to organize to be able to
insist on fair price sand honest
sales"
But, he went on, "the unnecessary
expansion Of industrial plants, the
waste of natural resources, the ex-
ploitation of the consumers Of nat

General Financial PoSitio

In my annual message to the con-
gress I already have summarized
the problems presented by the de-
flationary forces OF. the depression,
the paralyzed condition which af-
fected the banking system, business,
agriculture, transportation, and in
deed. the whole orderly continuation
of the nations social and economic
system.
Il have outlined the steps taken
since last March for the resumption
of normal activities and the restora-
ton of the credit of the govern
ment.
s OF necessity these many measures
, have caused spending by the gov
eminent far in excess of the income
of the government.
: The results Of expenditures al
ready made show themselves in
concrete form in better prices for
farm commodities, in renewed busi-
ness activity. in increased employ
ment, in reopening of and restored
confidence in banks, and in we'll
organized relief.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-01-04

also increased, the estimated reve-
nue. would be increased by approx
mately $50000,000, assuming that
consumption is not affected by adj
ditional gallonage taxes imposed by
the states.
Considerable additional revenue
can also be secured from admins
tratiVe changes in the income tax
law, which may amount to as much
as $150,000000 for a full year.
The estimates for the postoffice
department are predicted upon a
continuation of the 3-cent postal
rate for non-local mail. 1t is high
ly important that this rate be con-
tinued. I recommend its continu-
ance.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-01-04

consumer representation on
the new national emergency
council, was interpreted as
assurance that the admins
tration will not permit prices
to skyrocket.
Fair prices and honest sales
were emphasized by the President
in his address.
Meanwhile at NRA executive Of
fees, Alvin Brown said that his Of
flee order warning that consumer,
labor and industrial advisory boards
might be abolished if they did not
conciliate their differences was "a
bit pointed" and added that no
thought was being given to a re-
organization scheme to supplant
these boards.
At the same time, Senator Robert
F. Wagner dem, N. ", co-author
Of the recovery act and chairman of
the national labor board, began
work on a comprehensive review of
NRA's achievements, which he will
present soon to the senate.
Republicans Join Ranks
His plan for strengthening the la
Dor sections of the law, not yet
ready, will be presented in later
speech. His proposals for making
permanent the labor board, i'm
proving NRA's collective bargaining
provisions and breaking up COM
pany control Of unions will be sub
mitted to President Roosevelt be-
fore they are introduced. Senator
Wagner is more than ever convinced
of the need for this action by recent
growth Of company unionism, he
said.
Support for permanent labor
board has been rendered Senator
Wagner by some conservative Re
publicanS, who have complimented
him highly on his boards achieve
mentS in settling strikes.
May Need Readjustment
The senator also is working on
a project to safeguard small bust
ness men from possible injustice
through activity of big business in
their industries. But administration
leaders are opposed to proposals Of
Senator William E. Borah and other
western Republicans to put all pro-
visions Of the antitrust laws back
in operation, or to wholly exempt
small business men from NRA.
The President in his message en-
phasized his support of NRA by
dealing with it in two separate sec
tions. In one he spoke of NRAs

Control

Up to now there has been no CO.
ordinated control over emergency
expenditures. Today, by executive
order, l have imposed that neces-
sary control in the bureau of the
budget.
Heretofore, emergency expendi-
lures have not been subject to audit
by the controller general Of the
general accounting office. Today ]
am, by executive order, reposing in
him the authority to conduct such
an audit and to continue to audit
each such expenditure. Hereafter
therefore, just as in the depart
mental expenditures. there will be,
in emergency expenditures, a pre-
budget and post audit.
BY reason of the fact that the
bureau of the budget has had no
control in the past over the various
expenditures, obligations and allot-
ments made by the emergency or
CARNATIONS, the task of preparing
the present budget has been the
most difficult one since the budget
and accounting act went into effect
in 1921.
These difficulties. in future years
will be substantially minimized by
the control which I have estab-
lished.
1t is evident to me, as I am sure
it is evident to you, that powerful
forces for recovery exist. 1t is by
laying a foundation of confidence
in the present and faith in the flu
ture that the upturn which we have
SO far seen will become cumulative
The corner stone of this foundation
is the good credit of the govern
ment.
1t is, therefore, not strange, nor
is it academic, that this credit has
q profound effect upon the con-
fidence so necessary to permit the
new recovery to develop into ma
turity.
IF we maintain the course have

The estimates of receipts take no
account of the additional revenue
which may be obtained from an in
crease in liquor taxes and from the
proposed changes in the income tax
law. Since neither of these tax
measures has come before congress
as yet. no accurate estimate can be
made of their yield.
However. if as proposed by the
committee of ways and means, the
tax on distilled spirits is increased

I Both are subjects of widespread
publicity campaigns which have
been in progress since the last
session.
Financiers, or many of them
have centered their efforts on a
campaign to modify the securities
act, claiming it's provisions would
stop the free flow of capital and
delay recovery.
Thus far the administration has
resisted all attempts to weaken this
law, although saying that certain
portions of it may need Qualification
Food and drug manufacturers
have centered their fire on the So
called Tugwell bill, which would
strengthen the twenty-year-ol old pure
food and drugs act.
New Bill Permits Appeals
Senator Royal D. Copeland dem.
N. ", chairman of a commerce
subcommittee, today said he will be
prepared to recommend a new pure
food and drugs bill to the full COM
mittee. 1t won't, he said, be the
Tugwell bill, but it will be dandy
1t will be the Copeland bill, drawn
by the doctor senator after hearing
both sides of the controversy over
the proposal made by the assistant
secretary of agriculture.
ST didn't like the bill as it came
to u.s." the senator said. This dis
like was shared generally by food
and drug manufacturers. He, and
they, regarded it as too arbitrary" +;
as giving too much power to one
man, the secretary of agriculture.
While unwilling yet to reveal the
details OF the compromise he has
drafted, Senator Copeland said that
it was mot so arbitrary" as the
original proposal, and that it pro-
vided for appeals from bureaucratic
decisions 1t will, he said, actually
provide greater protection for con-
sumers.
Aligned Against Wall Street
He has not discussed the conpro-
mise with DR.. Tugweu, but still re-
CARDS the measure as an admins
tration one.
The senator hopes to make a re-
port to the full committee late this
week, but has not conferred with
party leaders as to when it will be
taken to the floor.
Any attempt to modify the Sc

AS against these expenditures,
which have either been appropriated
for, or for which appropriations are
asked. the estimated receipts for this
fiscal year lending June &c. 1884,
are S3,259 ,938, 756.
On this basis, including, however,
certain additional expenditures for
1894 which are not included in the
budget estimates but which I be-
lieve to be necessary and amounting
to SI.I66, 100000. as shown in a sub
sequent table herein. the excess OF
expenditures over receipts will be
f 81. 800 06S.211. Interest charges on
the borrowing in excess Of budget
estimates will slightly increase this
figure.
On the basis of these estimates,
&the public debt, in the strict sense
of the term, at the expiration of

amount to approximately S29,847,-
900 900. or an increase as shown
above of $4,000 6S.211.
However, as against this increase
in the total debt figure. it is right
to point out that the various gov
