Says Initiation Is Certain

The national balance sheet at the
end of June 30 last shows the federal
government still to be living beyond
its income. In other words, for every
dollar expended during the 1934-35
fiscal year the government took In only
So cents in taxes That left deficit of
48 cents in every dollar of expenditure.
Stating the same thing in gross
amounts, total revenues were $3,788,-
100000 and the deficit was $3,472, 600
600.
This is the beginning of the sixth
year of unbalanced budgets. No one
would blame the government for not
having balanced the budget during the
depth Of the depression, but many are
now beginning to give expression to
the belief that 1t is time to right about
face and bring governmental expendi-
lures nearer to governmental receipts
It. is said that only twice before has
there been such a long stretch oil
deficits in federal finances In an 8-year
period after the Civil war there was a
deficit of $1,000 600, 900. During the hard
times Of the '90's there was six-year
red ink entry of $251. 100000
Since 1880, the federal government,
has run up the huge deficit of $14,-
5OO,000,OO0 This doubled the public
debt and brought it to gross of $685.
7OO,OOO,0oo
Col Leonard P Ayers, an economic
diagnostician of considerable repute
sees initiation ahead but not before
1888 He says initiation is preceded b.
a period Of incubation This period o.
incubation was four years In Germany
five years in France, Belgium ane
Italy 1t will be preceded by business
recovery. w. M. Kiplinger prophesie
much in the same manner. He sees
period of better business coming fol
lowed by another crash in 1910 Ant
the largest contributing factor in thl
unhealthy program is a continued I'm.
balanced federal budget, in othe
words, continued spending of NOR,

REPUBLICANS OF
MIDWEST START
PLANS FOR 1886
Farm Belt Leaders Hope to
Win Leadership From
East, LiberaIize.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 81
Middle Western Republican leaders
came into the open today with a
plan for a springtime farm belt
rally to liberalize the party by
shifting its leadership from the
East to the Mississippi Valley.
Party leaders from 10 or more
states are expected to meet in
Kansas City or Topeka in May to
raise 100000 and prepare the
foundation for liberal G.. o. P.
platform for 1886.
There were indications that this
Republican preliminary convention
might develop into a pep meeting
for a Middle Western Presidential
candidate.
Gov. ALI M. Landon of Kansas,
Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the
Chicago Daily News, and Senator
Arthur Vandenberg Or, Mich),
we're named in that order today by
informed Republicans as likely to
figure in any rally discussion Of 1896
nominees.
The United Press was informed
that the 100000 would be sought to
establish a Chicago headquarters,
Farm belt Republicans have been
complaining that more could be
done for the party in the Mississippi
valley from Chicago than from
Washington.
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher was
told of the plan a fortnight ago and
the United Press was informed to-
day that he made no objection tc
the program. John D. M. Hamilton
Kansas Republican National Com
mitteeman, outlined the plan to Mr.
Fletcher. 1t is understood Mr.
Hamilton said that a part of the
proposed 100000 fund not needed
for operation of Chicago head
quarters would be allocated to the
national committee.
Therefore, at its inception, the
Middle Western Republican move
ment appears to seek the co-opera-
ton of the present committee lead
ership which is dominated by East
ern Republicans. Mr.. Fletcher is
from Pennsylvania.

Receivers.

Receivers of the Marmon Motor
Car Co. were authorized today by
Superior Judge Joseph Marley to
enter into a contract with the Indi-
ana Farm Bureau Cooperative AS
ISOLATION. Inc. for the sale of Plant
Three of the company at a pur-
chase price reported to be S150,000.
Efforts to eliminate a sale have
been under way for some time and
Judge Marley told Robert A. Adams
and Fred Barnickol, receivers, that
his order for liquidation and re-
appraiSment Of seven other receiv-
ership properties would not affect
any efforts of the receivers to sell
a portion of the Marmon properties.
The action of Judge Markey was
taken in connection with his effort
to end receivershipS of industrial
properties in his court and place
those properties into production as
well as to aid in ending unemploy-
ment in indianapolis.
Plant Three consists of a boiler
room building. dry kiln building, one
f1ve-story structure, two one-story
structures. and one two-story struc-
ture. The plant was originally con-
structed at a cost of S1,5OO,OOO. it was
said.
Mr.. Adams told Judge Markey at
a courtroom conference yesterday
that the receivers of the motor car
company had 100000 square feet Of
floor space for sale.
The proposed contract for sale Of
the plant calls for $4,000 cash and
the remainder in notes.
Officials of the farm bureau would
not comment on the proposed pur-
chase of the plant
