Definite improvement has already

in the more orderly mining of coal.

BALANCED BUDGET
|SSENT PRESIDENT
National Economy League
Forwards Plan for Next
Fiscal Year.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 1s.-The
National Economy League yesterday
sent to President Roosevelt a plan
which would balance the Federal
budget during the next fiscal year.
To accomplish this, the league
would eliminate billion and q half
dollars Of emergency spending, exert
rigid control of the ordinary outgo,"
and add 1895, 100000 in new taxes.
Total Of Budget.
The leagues proposed budget, which
1t has worked out after months of
research and conferences with Gov
eminent officials" carries a total of
SIS, ,435 100000. This would cover both
ordinary and emergency expenditures
for the fiscal year beginning next July.
The proposal was submitted to the
President and both Houses of Con-
gresS in the form of formal petition,
the league urging the balancing of
the budget ito restore confidence to
the whole national community and to
supply the key to real recovery"
Henry H Curran, director Of the
league, made public the petition.
To Escape Insolvency.
Doing so. he said either this bal
ance of the budget or one like it must
be brought about If we are to escape
national insolvency"
In 1928" he added. nearly every
one said the prohibition amendment
could not be repealed-but it was
done.
In 1882 nearly everybody said that
pensions to veterans who were not
hurt by the war could not be elm
inated-but it was done, to the extent
Of annual saving of over $500, 900, 900
to the taxpayers.
Now the same thing is said Of our
insistence that the national budget
must be balanced-but it can be
done"

ing together, to improve human life
through the introduction Of things that
aren't especially new so far as inven-
ton is concerned, but things which
are becoming more and more neces-
stiles in our American life in every
part OF the country.
And I have been interested this
morning in seeing these new home
steads-not just the buildings, not
just the land that they are on. not just
the excellent landscaping of the trees
among which those homes have been
set, but especially the opportunities
that those homes are giving to fam
lilies to improve the standard Of living.
And finally, my friends. there is one
thing about all that you are doing here
in Tupelo, that they are doing in
Corinth, that they are doing in Athens
and Norris and the various other
places where accomplishment can be
seen today-aye, the most important
thing of all, think, Is that it is being
done by the communities themselves.
This is not coming from Washington.
1t is coming from you. You are not
being federaliZed. We still believe in
the community, and things are going
to advance in this country exactly in
proportion to the community effort.
This Is not regimentation-it is COM
munity rugged individualism. 1t means
no longer the kind Of rugged indl-
vidualism that allows an individual to
do this. that or the other thing that
will hurt his neighbors. He is forbid
den to do that from now on-and 1t Is
mighty good thing. But he is going
to be encouraged in every known way
from the National Capital and the
State capital and the county seat to
use that individualism in cooperating
with his neighbor's individualism SO
that he and his neighbors may improve
their lot in life.
Thrilled by Visit.
Yes, I have been thrilled by these
three days-thrilled in the knowledge
not only of practical accomplishment
but thrilled also in the belief-the
deep-seated belief on my part-that
the people of this Nation understand
what ws are trying to do, are CO.
operating with what we are trying
to do and have made up their minds
that We are going to do it.
And so, in saying "good-by" to
you for a short time-becauSe am
coming back-I ask all Of you,
throughout the length and breadth
of the Tennessee Valley and those
areas which form an economic por-
ton Of that vslley-I ask you all to
remember that the responsibility for
success lies very largely with you
confident that you are going to give
to the Nation an example which will
be a benefit not only to yourselves
but to the whole 130, 900, 900 Of Amer
leans in every part of the land.
