BUDGET HIT 4

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 12.-The
Anne Arundel county commits
sioners and their efficiency and
economy commission are seeking
today some of the reductions de-
manded by taxpayers at a protest
meeting 10 days ago. This action
was started when it was discov-
cred that the 1885 Anne Arundel
budget and tax rate need not
have been set before December /.
In five-hour session with the
county commissioners, the ef-
ficiency and economy commits
sion recommended reductions of
$4,000 in the $983,656 budget,
which would eliminate the IA.
cent increase in the ia rate
the retiring commission had set
for next year.
1t was pointed out that if any
changes are made, they will have
to be made within the next few
days.
Thomas j. Cullimore, newly
elected president of the commits
sioners, has called a meeting Of
his board for Thursday after
noon to consider the recon-
mendations and seek means for
cutting the budget and tax rate.
The tax levy must be effective

Agree on One Point

One point about which nearly all
the answers agree Is that while there
has been an ebb tide In Roosevelt'z
strength In the last few months, 1t lis
an ebb from the peak of the flood,
which was not attained at election
time, despite the size OF the landslide.
but many months after inauguration.
No one with whom the writer has
talked, or from whom he has had writ
ten answers, ventured to say that the
present stage OF the popularity barom-
eter was actually down to the election
point It may be, but no one seemed
sure of 1t.
The point is made that the Roosevelt
landslide was not vote for Roosevelt,
but vote against Hoover. This OBJ
vious fact, which so many In discus
sing the present situation overlook,
though they knew 1t perfectly we'll at
the time, makes any attempt at COM
putatIon far more difficult. 1t pre-
vents the 1882 election returns from
being an accurate barometer reading
on Rooseyelt's strength.
However, there Is no doubt that with
his tours Of the country and his many
speeches In the campaign Roosevelt
won great deal OF popular support.

Republican orators have been
preaching this doctrine, but the old
politicians among them thought they
were Just making the best OF very
bad situation. They continued GER
tain that returning prosperity would
rebound to the credit Of the admins
tration and make any comeback on the
part OF the Republicans Impossible.
1t Is the attitude of business eyecu-
tives that has upset this. They are
beginning to be very alarmed over the
ultimate objects Of the Roosevelt New
Deal, now that they think the depres-
sion is passing Into history. They are
particularly worried about this contin-
ued harping on the part OF the New
Dealers on cutting down profits, not to
mention the inslstence on more union
recognition, etc.
The theory now accepted by Repub-
lican leaders here Is that II business
continues to get better during the next
year and half, business will become
more and more FESTIVE, and by the time
the campaign opens up there will be
a RECOMMENDATION" of business against
the administration which will stand
fair chance of success.
Despite rumors about a possible
turning to the right on the part OF
the President, the private opinion of
Republican leaders Is that the Presi-
dents heart is set on going down In
history as having set up new order.
They think he believes profoundly
In the economic and social soundness
of the New Deal policies, and hence
they believe he will continue Just as
he has been going, and fight for his
program.
So now they have been led to the
conviction that the more prosperous
the country is In 1884 the more chance
there will be of electlng a Republican
President!

Sounding the Public

Questions as to what Is the real feel
Ing at the moment toward the admin
istration have been broadcast by In
qulries sent all over the country by
the writer In the last few weeks.
1t Is never easy to take cross sec
tion and boil 1t down to few para
graphs, and the mere statement of all
the opinions received, while 1t might
make interesting reading. would not
be OF much value, for 1t would be nee
essary to use too many words to ex-
plain why each person was interesting
or apt to have good judgment, and par
ticularly how the writer knew that
particular persons judgment was good.
But here is the result OF all the In
quiries and answers.
/. The President is still tremendous
ly strong-not 80 strong as he was six
months ago-but probably stronger
than he was on election day.
2. From present indications the
Democrats will at least hold their own
which means maintenance of d huge
majority.
B. The Democratic majority In the
house will be cut sharply, probably
not less than rs seats, but certainly
not enough to endanger Democratic
control Of the lower house.
4. Part of the reaction against the
President Is due to the Improvement
In business and employment, the point
being that there Is no longer the hor-
rible fear, and the desire to try any
remedy, so the patient Is now Queru-
lous about the taste of the medicine.
5. Most of the so-called reaction Is
against the brain trust and Its radical
ideas rather than against the President
himself. At least this Is the spoken
word as reported. Which means very
little, because that Is always the way.
Loyalty lies only to the king-not
