SECOND ACCOUNTING,
 | NATIONS NEW DEAL
Specifies Sum for Remaind- CT of Fiscal Year,
 Also Next Year

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt today asked Congress for four billion dollar work relief fund in a mes sage forecasting a new peak in the public debt of thirty-four billion two hundred and thirty-nine mill lion dollars on June 30, 1886.
 Declaring unemployment alone blocked a balanced budget, the President envisaged evening the Governments expenditures and re- ceipts as rapidly as private in- dustry is able to reemploy those who now are without work"
 New Deal Spending
 This second financial accounting of the New Deal allows for the spending of seventeen billion one hundred and one million dollars in a two-year fiscal period which ends IS months hence.
 For the fiscal year. half of which has already past, the Government plans to spend eight billion five hundred and eighty-one million dollars, and for next fiscal year. ending June 30, 1886, plans to spend eight billion five hundred and twenty million dollars.
 Of these sums, nine billion eight hundred and forty-one million dol- lars are allotted for recovery and relief, the remainder being credited to general expenditures necessary to run the Government.
 Rec0very--Relief
 Of the money spent for recovery and relief, roughly five and one quarter billions will be spent this year and four and one-half billions during the 1886 fiscal period
 The Presidents request for the four billion dollars for work relief is coupled with the recommenda- tion the money be "in one sum. subject to allocation" by himself.
 This phase of the budget is ex- pected to stir a Congressional con- troversy.
 Congress was informed that the Governments income would meet all expenditures except those to give work to the unemployed.
 No New Tax Levies
 The President did not consider it advisable to propose new tax levies but asked continuation of the existing levies.
 Receipts are estimated about half of the expenditures and the re- mainder will be obtained from borrowing money and from the billion, three hundred million cash on hand in the Treasury.
 The President told the newsmen

BALLOT MAILED TO ALL
 JUNEAU VOTERS
Compiled Results Will Aid Council and Legisla-
 ture Tn Law

Is Juneau satisfied with it's pres ent liquor dispensation system?
 That's the principal query back of the questionnaire mailed Satur- day to all registered voters in the city, by the City Council. The ball. lots. which are expected to be re- turned to the Council for tabula- ton by January IS, include 12 questions covering every phase of the liquor situation in Juneau. After the votes have been count ed, the results may be used by the Council in forming new legislation governing the control of liquor in the city. It also is expected that the results will be presented to the Territorial Legislature for guid- ance alnno similar lines. Action As Elsewhere
 The ballot idea is similar to ques- tionnaires sent to the electorate of Wrangell and Petersburg by those city's councils.
 City Clerk A. w. Henning mailed the ballots to the 1,400 registered voters in the city. However, Hen ming has more ballots at his office and explained that any adult resi- dent of the city, even though not a registered voter, could obtain a vote. The ballots were accompan- jed by addressed envelope No signatures are required when the ballot is returned.
 The complete ballot follows:
 Are you satisfied with the pres ent system of liquor dispensation through beer parlors and liquor stores?
 Would you favor the closing of , all private liquor stores and the operation of a municipal liquor store; or,
 Would you favor the closing of all private liquor stores and the op- eration of a Territorial liquor store on a profit-sharing basis with the City?
 Assuming that neither the Ter ritory nor the City engage in the liquor business, do you favor con- fining the sale of hard liquor to stores handling no other merchan- disc?
 DO you favor the closing of the liquor stores on Sundays? Do you favor closing the beer parlors on Sundays? Do you favor closing the liquor

From the earliest dawn of history,
the human race has been seeking
two great ends. Gold and youth have

hearts. The old alchemists dreamed
that by transmitting base metals in
to gold, they could. increase the
wealth of the race. And another set
OF thinkers struggled equally to find
some means of extending youth.
The latter aim was more rational.
Ii all metals could be transmitted
into gold. that substance would have
no more value than iron or copper.

KEEP THE DOLLARs MOVING

Some of the people are constantly
saying, why doesn't somebody do
something to make better business %
A lot of these folks could do things
themselves. without costing them
anything, that would promote good
business and the employment OF
labor.
One simple thing that many of
these folks could do. would be to
make special effort to pay their
bills promptly. Suppose some of
these slow pay folks who take three
to six months to pay a bill. would
pay promptly in 80 days. Suppose
those who pay every month would
pay cash when they buy goods. Mon
ey would flow through the communi-
ty faster. Every time a dollar moves
from hand to hand. it starts up Busi-
ness. Some folks are so hard up
hat they can't pay any faster, but
plenty of others could do so, and !
give business a new squirt of ac- J
ivity. /

STRICKEN9


J. B. PriestIey, famous English All.
thor, is travelling in the United
States, and he says in Harpsrs Nag,
agine Tor February that eRF big cities
look rich, but he thinks that IN many
districts the villages have poverty
stricken appearance, He finds that
the same type Of house in England
would be solidly built Of brick, and
located on a well paved road.
The United States is a compara-
lively young nation. and has not had
time to build a wholly flnished civ
ilizatiOn as yet. Our people have. a
stupendous territory to maintain,
compared with little England's mar
row island. Our road building is
going on fast. and more and more
of the villages are located on the
solid roads that this visitor likes to
see.
American villages are apt to look
shabbier than those Of Europe, most
ly because our homes are built large
ly OF wood. while in Europe they use
a great deal of brick and stone and
cement. Labor is very cheap over
there, and it does not cost so much
as here to put up a substantial
house. A wooden house is perfectly |
good. but it has to be kept painted. !
Otherwise it looks run down and
decadent in a few years.
Too many OF our folks allow their |
homes TO present this poverty strick-
ELI appearance. when all they need
IS a good coat of paint. 1t gives an
lnfavorable impression to travellers.
not merely to foreigners, but our
'wn tourists go through these towns
With many poorly painted houses,
