BUDGET CALLED
LNFLAT|ONARY,
BY WALL ST.
BY LESLIE GOULD
International News Service Financial
s.f Writer

- Writer
NEW YORK, Jan. 5 QN.s0,
Tnflationary.
That one word sums up Wall
Streets reaction to the Presidents
budget message.
The thing that took the finar1'
cial district by surprise was not
so much the "new deals" cost
figures, staggering as they were,
but the candor with which they
were presented.
Conservatives Upset
The President without mincing
words told Congress and the ma
ton ten billions would be needed
to carry on the job and that the
budget would not be balanced un-
til 1886. There were no IFS, ands,
or butts about 1t.
While this is upSetting to the
Socalled conservative interests,
there is another side to 1t. The
President by his message has put
q definite limit on recovery eX-
penditures, both in time and
size. This is the sop to the right
wtngers.
In his message opening Con,
eress the President said the bud
get would be balanced in the not
too distant future, and now IN
his financial review and forecast
he places the time limit for &C
Complishment Of this in the 1896
fiscal year.
Assurances have been given be-
fore that the budget would be
balanced-both the ordinary and
extraordinary expenditures - but
this is the first time q definite
date has been set.
Program In One Paragraph
This is the paragraph that tells
the Presidents whole budget
program:
'The excess Of expenditures
ever receipts during this fiscal
gear amounts to over seven
billion dollars. My estimates for
the coming fiscal year show an
excess of expenditures over re-
eeiptS Of two billion dollars.
We should plan to have q
definitely balanced budget for
the third year of recovery, and
from that time on seek a con-
tinuing reduction Of the ma
tiOnal debt"
This brings the picture out into
the open, and taxpayers now
know the "bad news" before they
are finally handed the "check." "
It is better that way, rather than
to try to cover it up in the more
than bakers dozen ways open to
Washington.

PHILADELPHIA Jan. 5.
George s. Lewis, jr., Of West
vile, N. j., is getting tired Of
being arrested.
That. at least, is the story he
told to william J. Kraft, advis-
ory master in chancery, in Cam
den, in support of his suit for
divorce from his wife. Mrs. Mary
Hiesterman Lewis, Of Camden,
He said:
Thirteen times she has had
me arrested for nOnsuppOrt.
Each time I would tell Judge
PancOaSt was willing to take
her back and each time he dis
missed the case. The last time
she said, IF I ever come back
again, I'll lead you . life of
hell"

the case under adviSement.

FUTURE COURSE

The Anti-Saloon League meets
here today to decide whether to
send out a rush call for new
blood or give UP the ghost alto

Once the terror and bugaboo
Of legislators the league today
finds itself split into two camps
those who favor carrying on q
militant movement for prohibition
and those who would educate the
American people in temperance.
The former group is led by r. p.
Hutton, League superintendent in
Nebraska who said:
"The League was created to
do the job no other agency ever
successfully attempted: namely,
to battle the liquor traffic in
the political and legislative
fields. If you disband the
League today you would be
compelled to rebuild it tOmOr-

CIVIL SERVICE
POLITICS HIT

stricter enforcement Of the
Civil Service rule against political
activity is advised in the annual

Sion, for viloation of the rule.
Extension of the classified Serv-
ice by bringing under it all post
masters, customs officials, deputy
marshals and collectors of inter
nal revenue, and limitation Of
preference to veterans to those
honorably discharged after &C
&ual war service, also are recon-
mended.
The plan Of President Harry
D. Mitchell to set up conciliation
committees in the various depart
mentS would be extended, under

David came noiselessly UP the
stairs. He had a swift arm
about Pippin'S shoulder:
Hello, dear-glad you're back
to normal and helping us raise
the children again. Here's a
letter you overlooked. Read it
and off to the clouds again!"
Pippin took the envelope,
grinned and went flying to her
room.
Kevin Writes to His Girl Friend
From Kevin. Careless and
gay, but the first letter he'd
ever written her. Excited fin
gers shook as she pulled out the
sheets.

looked too darling for words as
you waved good-by. You were

steamed out the bay. I kept
looking until you were nothing
but a blur. I didn't want to
lose you"
Then he told Of his trip, the
Panama Canal, and all his
eager plans. He ended with
this:
Don't be too faithleSS. Years
aren't so long till you'll be old
too, dear. I've got to find you
just the same when I come
marching home again. See that
I do, won't you, sweetheart"
With a little happy sob Pip
pin crushed the letter to her
lips.
She went down the hall and
seeing her brother, completely
forgot her grievance.
Darling, did you really comb
your hair alone? It's marvel
Gus. I forgot to tell you I bought
the baseball I promised. It's on

He grinned. showing all his

Anderson bluntly. 1--WE know

the officers to take him away.
On the outside, we found the
reporters.
And, standing by himself on
one corner, I caught a glimpse
Of Kirk JudSon and for the first
time I remarked that he had
taken no part in the arrest.
Ten minutes later, Stoker oc-
cupied a cell in the Central

at the office, madly writing the

the town for many a day. And
