ROOSEVELT VIEWS
ON UNBALANCED
U. S. BUDGETS

Most of this new Govern
ment-created credit has been
taken to finance the Govern
ment's continuing deficits.
"The truth is that our
banks are financing these
StupendOus deficits and that
the burden is absorbing their
resources.
"All this is highly undeSir-
able and wholly unnecessary.
1t arises from one cause only,
and that is the unbalanced
budget and the continued
failure of this administration
to take effective steps to
balance it. If that budget
had been fully and honestly
balanced in 1880, as it could
have been, some of the 1881
collapse would have been
avoided. Even if it had been
balanced in 1881, as it could
have been, much of the ex-
treme dip in 1882 would have
been Obviated..
would it not be infinitely
better to clear this whole
subject of ObScurity-tO pre-
sent the facts Squarely to the
Congress and the people of
the United States and Sc
cure the one sound founda-
ton of permanent economic
recovery complete and
honest balance Of the Fed

Within few hours, possibly to-

Supreme Court decision outlawing
the present set-up.

but while the necessary informa.

ment. which will be used as a
guide for legislative purposes.
there are indications that the
President will make public his
views on meeting the situation
presented by the Supreme Courts
"obiter dicta" covering interstate
commerce.
Last Fridays press conference
clearly showed that the New Deal
views the court decision as COM
plete block to further liberaliZed
legislation in which the Federal
Government takes the role of a
paternal administrator of social
and economic matters.
Great interest is attached to the
fact that President Roosevelt Is
agitated over the courts decision;
that he believes it is quite as
important as the bred Scott de.
cision.
It is known that the President
believes that fast action by the
American people to determine
what they want to do about the
Federal Governments part in
their social affairs will prevent
a social revolution sometime later.

The President is reported as
feeling that the Civil War might
have been averted if the Ameri.
can people had gone straight
ahead and revised the Constitu-

than trying to settle the matter

GAS RATE QUIZ

Striking the first blow to drive
down the rates of the washington
and Georgetown Gas Light COM
panies, the Public Utilities Com
mission today held the opening
session of public hearings to de-
termine gas rates in the District.
The Commission in it's order Of
March 10 found the value of the
companies to be $16,993 900, which
would indicate a reduction OF ap-
proximately Is per cent in the
rates.
However. the representatives Of
the gas companies began their
testimony by claiming that the
findings of the Commission were
more than $4,5O0,000 short of the
actual value of the company prop
erty.
Utilities Dissatisfied
In addition, the companies
claimed that since the valuation
case began, the companies have
acquired property valued at ST.
654,182, and have made additions
to property valued at $558,000.
Stoddard Stevens, jr., attorney
for the companies, was the first
witness for the utility concerns.
He pointed out that the concerns
are dissatisfied with the valua-
tons made by the Commission.
He stated:
"Such valuations are unrea-
sOnabIe, unlawful and arbitrary
and the companies reserve all
rights to contest said valuations
by appeal or otherwise"
CITE RISING COST
Mr.. Stevens pointed out that
the companies we're willing to dis
cuss the records of the valuation
case, but would not be bound as
accepting any of its stipulations.
It was indicated that the gas
companies would follow the rec
ords of the valuation case closely
and attempt to dispute the Com
mission on its own figures.
Increased operating costs will
be cited by the gas companies as
the basis for contentious that gas
rates should not be reduced.
