Discusses Own Deficits.
It is, of course, true that during the
last years of the last Republican ad-
ministration deficits we're incurred.
Just as advance information on mis-
representation, I may state that the
deficits of those years were not as
large as are being made to appear by
the New Deal publications. They in
clude expenditures which the New Deal
now excludes In publishing its own
accounts. They also include over
$4,000 ,000, 900 of loans to industry,
agriculture, and banks, which have
since been mostly collected and spent
by the New Deal administration. But
the important thing is that the Repub-
lican administration genuinely en-
deavored to balance the whole Gov
ernment budget. That was not pious
subterfuge. 1t was definite program.
The record shows that in the year
1881 the Democratic Congress was
urged to enact additional revenues of
$1,000, 200, 900 and to cooperate in a
cut of $500, 900, 900 of less pressing ex-
penditures. Only part of this rev.
enue was wrung from the Democratic
Congress after nearly six months of
fighting, delay, and obstruction, punc-
tuated by vetoes Of pork-barrel appro-
priations. Even then over half Of the
recommended decreases in expendi-
tures were rejected. Again In 1882.

 Provided

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Pope -Dimond mining relief bill, to provide Government operation of promising mining properties where private capital is not available, has been approved by Director of the Bureau of Mines Finch.

 Under the Pope-Dimond bill, a fund of s10OO00,OO0 will be set aside for the Bureau of Mines to develop new properties and work old properties within the United States and Territories.
 The bill provides that miners will be paid the prevailing wages of the communities.
 Director Finch. told the sub committee of the Senate Mining Committee. that unemployment un- der the bill will be most rapid in the gold mines.

 Co. Thrown Out

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 27.-- Federal Judge John P. Neilds tor day declared unconstitutional End void Section "A of the National Recovery Act and dismissed the Governments suit for injunction against the Weirton Steel Com pany.
 Judge Neilds dismissed the Gov ernmcnt's bill of complaint for injunction to restrain the com- pany for alleged interference in its workers selection of collective bargaining.

HOUSE APPROVES
 APP ROP RATION FOR 6. OF 6. WORK
Increase in Mining Indus try Tax Discussed at
 Night Session

Approval of the bill to approp- riate 5000 to the Alaska Terri borial Chamber of Commerce, de- feat of the dollar a month pen sion plan measure and passage of the Brunelle memorial asking s200,000 from the federal govern ment for education of natives carried on by the Territory mark ed the afternon session of the Ter ritorial House yesterday.
 At a session last night, the House in committee of the whole. took up the Green mining tax bill, hearing representatives of the min ing industry, who argued it was excessive. The measure provides for a levy on the net income of from two and one half per cent on $10,00O to five per cent on million or over.
 Those Appearing Among those appearing before the committee were H. L.. Failk- ner, Juneau attorney representing various mining interests; L. H. Metzgar, general superintendent of the Alaska Juneau. and A.. J. Daly of the Alaska Steamship Com pany who represented various cop per mine interests.
 The speakers said they had no objection to paying their just burden of taxation but they did not think it was good for the Territory to levy an excessive tax with the resultant barrier of keep ing out interested capital. Pay rolls, MT. Faulkner told the com mittee, are more important to the development of Alaska than rais- ing taxes. Only through inter- esting outside capital can the Ter ritory hope to develop it's resources. he said, pointing out that increase in taxes would tend to keep that capital away.
 fOlnt Out beueIftS
 In passage Of the appropriation for the Territorial Chamber. sev- eral members urg eed it's passage on grounds that the efforts of the Chamber reflect in favor of the entire Territory It was pointed out the advertising gained through the work of the Chamber would be well worth to Alaska the amount expended. Opposition contended 1t was not a proper expediture of public funds.
 Another bill gaining favor of the House yesterday calls for hehibili- tation of abandoned signal corps stations in the Second and Fourth Divisions
 It and the Territorial Chamber measure now go to the Senate.

 Union officials said: We have not reached the strike stage yet. We are still negotiating. The sea- men are making their demands because employment in the Alas ka service is seasonal"
 The Alaska ship operator s spokesman said The unions have amade impossible demands which we cannot meet. They want an increase in wages of approxi- mately 50 per cent and six hour day. The only thing we can do is to tie up our ships and board up the docks for their demands are ruinous. The Unions have refused to arbitrate We will sub init a counter proposal tomorrow. ?

it was painful enveloped the anti court men when the debate start ed. They began to take courage as the vote neared, but even so, most of them were utterly as- founded when the court finally was beaten decisively.

By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.)

An extraordinarily large num- Der of political powder kegs are being buried these days around the premises of the New Deal.
 No one knows whether any of them actually will be touched off, It is notorious that most such bombs never explode Either some thing goes wrong with the me- chanism or the bombers get cold feet.
 Yet when one does let loose, it makes lot of excitement So Washington is deeply interested and is watching very closely the operations of those who are trying to undermine various administra- tion projects, policies and person. alities.
 The situation is quite different from that of a few months ago, Then MT. Rooseyelt's opponents did very little boasting. For the most part they opposed him list lessly, as If they were saying We know we're licked, but we have to go through with the motions of protesting anyway"
