NEWSPAPERS OPINION
HOW MUCH is So, ooo, ooo, GOO?

: The President of the United States will be given
b. Congress $4,86O,O0OO 900 to be expended in his
( program against uremployment-that is the largest
sum ever delegated by Congress in peace times.
The scale upon which TIE Federal government has
been spending money during the past three years

Dar- of many who are deeply interested in govern
mental activities. That is why. the old query
whs:aer are we drifting? hobs up.
n interesting statistical form the United States
News summarizes the expenditures of the federal
government, year by year, from 1889 TO 1913, Or
from the time that George Washington first took
the oath Of office until the last dollar Of President
Taft's last budget was spent on June 30, 1913,

News cites that from the first budget of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt to his latest budget-cover-
ing three year-.he United States government out

total that was expended during a previous 124
years Of the nations history.
This sum of So, 900 900, 900 is so impressive IS
to provoke the query, just how much money is
represented thereby, defined in way the average
citizen can grasp? This is The News answer to
that question:
1t is $12 each for every man, woman and child
on the face of the earth It represents nearly $1,000
for each family in the United States.
IT was enough to finance the national govern
ment through 81 presidential terms of four years

During that time were fought four wars. The
nation grew from 13 sparsely populated Atlantic

TIME TO CRACK DOWN ON LYING
WITNESSES
CBy BRUCE CATION

News that a bench warrant has been -
sued for the arrest of defense witness N
the Bruno Hauptmann trial, following re-
turn of an indictment for perjury, IS
timely remindes that the courts too often
are lax in dealing with plain and fancy
living in the witness chair.
In this particular case, the man accused
i one BENJAMIN Heller, who was called by
the defense 10 testify that on the night the
Lindbergh ransom was paid he sat in car
marked bv the famous cemetery wall and
saw Isidor Fisch cavOrting about in the
neighbOrhOOd.
Whatever impression this testimony
might have made on the jury was can
celled, however, when the prosecution in
troduced evidence to show that at the time
the ransom was being paid Heller was in
voIved in traffic accident away of on
the other side Of town. After the Haupt-
mann trial was wound up, the prosecutor
called the grand jury's attention to the
matter, and an indictment was voted.
About the only unusual feature of the
case is the fact that the grand jury &C
tually did get busy.
No one who frequents American courts
can be ignorant of the fact that fragrant
perjury has become almost as common as
grass in recent years. 1t is an evil that
aflicts criminal and civil courts alike.
Hardly any criminal is so friendless that
he cannot get some kindly soul to come
into court and swear that he (the crlml-
naD was many miles away when the crime
took place; few participants IN civil &C
tons seem to have much trouble finding
people willing to swear to anything and
everything that seems at the moment to DC
advisable.
Yet indictments for perjury are rare,
and convictions are rarer still.
4 You don't need to think very long to see
now profoundly the prevalence, of such
beriured testimony interferes with dispens-
ing justice.
50 Our whole judicial process is based on
the theory that people who come into court
will tell the truth to the best of their abil-
fty. We have devised an oath calculated to
hnpress upon the devout the supreme i'm
pOrtance of sticking to the truth. Our laws
provide severe penalties for those immune
90 such impressions. But perjury continues,
and any lawyer or court reporter can tell
you that the amount of lying that goes on
b our courts is enough to make Ananias
look like piker.
Until judges and prosecutors generally
are Jealous to crack down on perjured tes-
timony, the courts will be crippled. Moth
ing would help the dispensing of justice
huch more than widespread realization
ethat the man who tells lie on the witness
stand is in for very bad time of it little
later on.

STRATO TRIP
AGAIN COALOF
BALLOONISTS
Active Preparations Get
Under Way by Two
u. S. Airmen

RAPID CITY, S. D., April s.
(UP)-yndaunted by a narrow
escape from death in their last at
tempt, two army balloonists will
soar abft soon in mans most am
bilious assault upon the secrets
Of the stratosphere.
Active preparation for the as
cension, to be sponsored, as was
last years Inflated flight, by the
L. S. Army and the National Geo
graphic society, was BEGUN yester-
day.
Captain Randolph Williams,
ground officer for the flight, ar
rived here for a ten-dav stay,
during which he expected to out
line plans for an enlarged weather
station in the rock-bound, natural
take-off bowl eleven miles west
of Rapid City.
He was to be Joined within a
day or two by Captain Orval An
derson. pilot for the 1885 flight,
and one Of three army men who
leaped to safety by parachute
when the "explorer," giant gas
bag Of the 1884 expedition into
the upper air, ripped by force Of
expanding gas, crashed to earth
in Nebraska.
Only two men will make this
years ascension. Anderson and
Captain Albert W. Stevens. army
scientist who also made last
years flight. Mayor William E.
Kepner, pilot last year, was not
included in army personnel as
signed to the 1885 ascension.
Profiting from last years ex-
perience, flight sponsors believe
they have provided Anderson and
Stevens much-improved equip
ment this time.
When the last command,
weigh OFF, is shouted, the bal
loonists will be yanked skyward
by the largest free gas-bag ever
constructed-a gigantic envelope
capable of holding when fully in
flated about 100000 cubic feet
of gas.
Helium gas will be used this
year in preference to the lighter,
but inflammable, hydrogen gas
used in almost all other strato-
sphere attempts. Anderson, at
Amarillo. Tex, already has ar
ranged for shipment here of the
necessary gas.
The men will be enclosed with
in an air-tight gondola.
From the upper atmosphere
they will expect to return with
new scientific information re-
garding the cosmic ray, with sam
pies of air taken at various lev
els, with Photographic recording,
and with aerial photographs show
ing plainly, because of the alti-
tude from which thew will be ia
ken. the curvature of the earth's
surface.
IheY may also bring back a new
altitude record considerably in
excess of the thirteen miles at
tanned by other stratosphere ex-
plorefs. If perfect conditions pre-
vail, and if their balloon fulfills
expectations of its makers. they
may rise to a level of $4,000 to
$4,000 feet-ifteen miles or
more. @
To attain fullest success thew
must have perfectly clear weather
and prevailing light breezes over
a 1,500-mile area.
On only four or five days each
summer-certainly never more
than ten-do such conditions ex-
ist.

of a human being are able to see
the blessings that will come out
of distress, doesn't that give you
the thought that every distress
may have its blessings and that
every distress may be the means
to an end that is a blessing?
If we could but get the idea
into our heads that the troubles
of this world are but means to
an end, a road to a goal that
could be reached in no ether way,
we should vastly increase our
courage, stiffen our backs and up

Of this life are but experiences

But Hooker had made up his mind
no movement was necessary at mid
day, when he telegraphed Washing
ton that Lee was in full retreat to-
ward Richmond. He did not know
what the movement Of all those troops
across his front meant until about 6
in the evening. when one Of his aides,
rushing frantically from the porch

What was coming was Howard's

ahead Jacksons three battle lines,
breaking forth and without rife fire,
using the bayonet. No troops struck
on the wing could have stood such an
assault. Before 8 o'clock a third of
Hooker's army was utterly broken and
routed, and jackson planned another
quick movement and another blow.
He rode forward with Gen. A. p. Hill
and some staff officers to look over the
line, when Federal fire swept over

had passed through gap on the
