T0PUT
BUDGET IN SHAPE
Substantial Reductions in
Government Operation
Costs Expected.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt today entered
on the task of whipping into shape
the budget estimates for the next fiscal
year, beginning July /. The President
already has made it plain he wants the
chore completed we'll in advance of the
time he will be called upon to submit
his 1867 budget message to the next
meeting of Congress in January.
There is no mistaking the fact Mr.
Roosevelt is facing this budget prob
lem with hope that he can show
the country the national deficit would
be greatly reduced, that the total
budget can be reduced, and that there
need be no fear Of new taxes.
Trimming to Be Substantial.
Convinced revenues during the next
fiscal year will be considerably above
earlier estimates, and satisfied in his
own mind that less money will be re-
quired for relief purposes, Mr.. Roose-
welt means to do some substantial
trimming in the matter Of Govern
mental operation costs.
The President now estimates the
deficit for the current fiscal year will
be s3.381, 100000 or s1,247, 100000 be-
low the estimate he made last jan
uary.
In the event the processing taxes
are declared unconstitutional by the
| Supreme Court the President is con-
vinced there will be necessity for new
taxes or increased rates in existing
taxes to pay crop-control benefits. He
will be compelled also in the prepara-
| ton of his budget to provide for the
possibility of the bonus being thrust
| upon him.
Conferences Planned.
To assist him in working out the
budget problem President Roosevelt
has outlined series of conferences
with administrative assistants and de-
partmental heads. The first of these
| conferences was to be held in Mr.
Roosevelt'S Offices this Afternoon with
Secretary of Treasury MorgenthaU
and Daniel Bell, acting director oi
the Budget Bureau. For number Of
weeks Bell has been working on pre-
liminary as well as final budget esti.
mates submitted to him by the variou.
departments and other agencies.
The President expects to confel
daily with one or more administration
officials on budget matters, up to tht
time he leaves Washington next Wed
nesday night for Hyde Park, N. Y
1t is understood he will carry with
him on his visit to his Hudson Valle,
home a large batch of budget paper
TO study during his stay there ant
that he will resume these conference
when he returns to Washington, prob
ably the latter part of the first weel
in November.
Drain to Be Reduced.
Planning to have the State ant
local communities take over a large
share of the responsibility in the mat.
| ter of relief, the President, therefore
is strongly of the opinion that the
relief drain on the public treasury
will be greatly reduced next year.
He also asked to the White House
today Stewart Mcdonald. Fedora
housing administrator: Morris L
Cooke, administrator of rural electri.
fication. and Peter Grimm, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, to discuss
ALLEGATION of funds for electrification
work.

the ground the law provided for 1896

Gov. Johnston also sought removal
of four members, contending their
terms Of Office had expired, but the
move was forestalled through an ap-
peal to the South Carolina Supreme

Calus explained to the employees the
resignation requirement was "a meas
ure taken for our own protection" and
added that it would not necessarily
be carried out.
The Governor, in issuing his proc
lamation of state of insurrection,
said:
LAS Governor of South Carolina

COTTON QUE 7
AND LOWER

NEW YORK, Feb. % G.N.S).
Although trading in the cotton
market was at a comparatively
slow pace today, futures slid be-
low the previous close.
The principal factor in the
ring was moderate profit-taking
attracted by yesterdays run-up
of so cents a bale. Operatorsg
taking profits found little de-
mand for cotton and the list
reacted easily to small offerings.
Domestic trade sources bought
contracts on scale down, while
q few local operators were in
the market for district options.
New Orleans and foreign inter
ests were lined on the selling
side.
Despite the strong technical
Sosition on the market, traders
are inclined to be cautious in
so far as new commitments are
concerned. The chief reason for
this cautious attitude on the part
Of cotton men is the uncertainty
which surrounds the entire agri-
eultural program.
