Thus there can be no pretense
now that we are balancing the
budget, or making any progress
in that direction.
In fact, the budget prepared by
the President so obviously omitS
large expenditures which are like
ly to be made, that the actual
budget will probably be even more
unbalanced. He makes no proviS'
ion for Government contributions
to the various insurance schemes
which he advocateS-unemploy-
ment, old age, etc. He makes no
allowance for payment on the
soldiers bonus" or for remittlng
interest on loans to the veterans.
No intent or plan to balance the
budget is apparent. What would
you do if you wanted to balance
your own budget? You would econ
omize in spending, and try to in.
crease your income. But the Ad'
ministration does neither.
Instead of economizing, we find
the salaries of Government en-
ployeS being raised, and a larger
number of exSoldiers being put on
the pension rolls. Expenditures for
general public works" are added
to the regular" items.
Instead Of increasing income, It
recommends no additional taxes
NfnI. tho rornSent -
The gist Of the matter Is that
the President makes the national
budget a huge gamble on bust
ness recovery. He says that II
business RECEIVERS, his four-billion-
dollar-aryear deficit can be re-
duced. If business does not re-
cover rapidly enough. then the
budget will not be balanced at
all.
Since he calls this "the third
year of recovery" yet calls for
$4,000, 100000 Of additional pub
lie debt to care for able bodied
unemployed, one may well Won
der what the deficit will be IN
the fourth and fifth years Of
such recovery"
The inescapable fact is that
the more the Government spends
and the more unbalanced its
budget, the less the chance OF
business recovery. Business can
not recover when the oxygen in
the blood of business is being
destroyed, which is exactly what
is happening when money ceases
to be standard of deferred pay
ments, and credit therefore can.
not function.
Given a stable money and
sound basis of credit, I believe
business would soon recover. But
these conditions can never be met
with an indefinitely unbalanced
Federal budget.
The result is an increased prob
ability of extreme initiation. If
business can't recover with an un-
balanced budget, the President
says that the budget will stay un-
balanced. Then the public debt
will pile up to a volume which
can't be paid. The outcome
would be either "greenbackS" and
reputation, or capital levy
through great final devaluation
and revaluation of the dollar.
The new set-up of the budget
Is ingenious, but should deceive
no one. From now on, such ex-
penditures as can be covered by
income are to be called regular"
Expenditures which can't be paid
out of income, are to be called
''relief Of unemployment" Thus
1t will be said that everything is
in balance except what isn't-and
that is necessary work relief"
Simple, isn't it!
One trouble with this little
scheme is that such public
works" as IVA have become
Irregular" expenditures. What as
Surance IS there that the $4,000
100000 expenditures for other
public works for "relief" will also
not become regular?

ALEX slD0R0FF: )! ]: COMMIT TED 10 INSANE ASYLUM
Man Who Ran Amuck with Gun Here June } Taken
 South Aboard Aleutian

Alex Sidoroff, who ran amuck here June with a gun at the Frank Garnick residence, was ad- judged insane at hearing before U.. s. Commissioner J. F. Mullen yesterday afternoon and this morn ing was placed aboard the Aleutian in custody of Deputy Marshal c. P. Mickelson of Cordova to be taken to Morningside Hospital fer the insane at Portland.
 Sidoroff accosted Miss Anita Gar nick near her home the morning of June and when he asked her to wait for him, she returned to the house and notified her mother who immediately called the Mar shals office. When deputy marshals and police officers located Sidoroff he was lurking in the brush near the Garnick home. When they ordered him to surrender he start ed shooting and after an exchange of shots in which Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan narrowly escaped with his life as the man fired four shots directly at him, Sidoroff ran into the Garnick residence. After tear gas bombs were brought into play to rout him, Sidoroff fired two shots into his head before he was finally captured. He was taken to the hospital where for several days little hope was held for his life, but he rallied and apparently is physically recovering. Mentally, however, he is said to be violently insane and the self-inflicted gun wounds left him totally blind

ROOSEVELT IS NOW PROPOSING
 SHARE WEALTH
Special Mess age to Con gress on Newer Taxa
 ton Reveals Plan
WOULD REDUCE BIG
 FORTUNES, INCOMES
Revived MIRA Scheme Also Being Considered
 Companion to Tax

1 WASHINGTON, June 20.-Before Congress recovered from the sur prise at President Roosevelt's call for share of wealth and taxes, which was sounded late yesterday afternoon in special message asking for a general increase in taxes, particularly to higher levels, close confidents of the President passed word he was considering a new broad NRA designed to be in sense companion measure to the tax program.
 The tax plan is intended to break lup great fortunes and reduce large Incomes. It was greeted by ex- pressions of qualification from the left and criticism from the right. Wealth Distribution
 It was presented to Congress with the Presidential comment it will enforce very sound policy of a wider distribution of wealth"
 The revived MIRA, which the President is said to be consider ing, is pictured by some of his ad- yisors as an effort to increase mass purchasing power. His ad- visors also foresaw the possibility of another surprise message on the subject might be forthcoming short ly.
 There is one masor "if'' on MIRA. It is said the plan may be recom- mended if the Administration can find definition of interstate commerce that it considers satis- factory and able to stand a test of constitutionality.
 Forecasts are almost unanimous that if the proposed taxes are left to the House committee, long hear ings will be necessary, thus pro- longing the present session in- definitely.
 Tax Suggestions
 The President, in his message, suggested inheritance succession on legacy taxes in addition to those now levied on estates and suitably higher gift taxes to prevent avoid ance of other levies and definite increase in present taxes on very great individual incomes; graduated

 The committee includes; Alfred Norman, Ted Danieisen, Jack Fin lay, James Briggs. John McLaugf- .lin and Jesse Paine.
 To Query Metzgar
 The avowed purpose of the com mittee will be to learn under what conditions and when the Alaska Juneau again will open for opera tions. The Workers Benefit Com mittee constantly has opposed the Union in calling the walkout. as- serting that the majority of em- ployees wish to return to work immediately

WAGNER LABOR
 DISPUTES BILL
 PASSES HOUSE
Measure Is Sent Back to Senate for Action on
 Amendments

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Disre- garding protesting cries the measure is not constitutional, the House has passed the Wagner Labor Disputes bill designed to abolish company dominated unions and create a per- manent Labor Tribunal.
 Already having passed the Sen ate, the measure is returned to that branch of Congress for action on amendments intended to insure it's constitutionality.
 Among other things. the bill sets up National Labor Relations Board to adjust employe and em- oloyer differences and is to be an independent quasi Judicial Fed eral Agency outside of the Depart ment of Labor.
 The effort to write in the amend ment that labor unions shall not coerce workers to join unions or strike, was defeated.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-(Special Correspondence) Although the name sounds very much like some of the alphabetical offices of the Government, the Emergency Con- servation Committee is an unoffi- cial organization located in New York, and actively shouldering the burden of conserving various re- sources of nature.
 Listed among the Twelve 1m- mediately Important Problems" of the Committee are two items di- rectly affecting Alaska. One is to make Admiralty Island a National Park ito provide an adequate sanctuary for the Alaska bears 2 Gt appears that previous in terests that have been endeavoring to save the bears for the hunters will have to contend with the E. c. c. in it's efforts to save the bears from the hunters.
 The other project the Commit tee is to secure passage of bill that is now before Congress to pro- tect the Bald Eagle. Needless to say Delegate Dimond is opposing the bill insofar as it's enactment will affect Alaska.

WILLIAM CHILDS IS VICTIM OF
 TRAGEDY HERE
Frank Richards Held in Padded Cell for Insanity
 Hearing After Death
OFFICER STRUCK
 DOWN WITH STICK
Alleged Demented Man Is Taken in Custody Aboard
 Aleutian from Cordova

William J. Childs, widely known Juneau man and head jailer at the Federal jail, was killed this morn ing and Frank w. Richards, 28, formerly of Juneau. is being held for an insanity hearing as result of the tragedy.
 Richards is eport d to have struck MT. Childs on the temple with a small stick when the lat ter was preparing to put him in the padded cell in the Federal jail. The blow ruptured blood vessels and the taller dropped dead few mo- ments later.
 Found On Ship
 U. s. Marshal William T. Ma honey reported that Richards was found aboard the Aleutian after that vessel had left Cordova on the way to. .Sitka as a stowaway. Taken before Capt. H. Andersen of the Aleutian. the officer concluded the man was mentally unbalanced and when he arrived in Sitka got in touch with Deputy Marshal B. F Ficken. The latter notified Marshal Mahoney and Richards was kept on the boat under guard until the ship arrived here at 7:30 o'clock this morning.
 This morning Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan met the boat and took Richards to the Federal Jail. He was first placed in the main cell with other prisoners but created such disturbance that it was de- cided to put him in the padded cell Hanging by the main cell door by a string is a small stick some l2 to Is inches long which the prisoners are allowed to use in rapping on the cell door to call the jailer. As Childs went into the main cell, Richards is said to have jerked this little stick from it's string and pointed 1t at the officer, and as the latter advanced to take hold of him and move him to the other cell, Richards struck Childs, hitting him on the temple. Prisoners in the cell immediately seized the man and with the officer put him in the padded enclosure and locked the door. As Childs turned away, he dropped to the floor dead.
 Came In Gold Rush Days
 Mir Childs is well known through out Alaska, and leaves his wife at the family residence on Ninth street. He came to the Territory as a young man from California in the gold rush days, going to Skag- way, the doorway to the rich Daw- son country. He later was promi- nent in Skagway as a ball player, playing with the old White Pass Athletic Club in 1908 and '09. He came to Juneau as deputy marshal when N. "Si" Tanner was U. .. Marshal during the Wilson admin istration. After leaving the federal service at that time he engaged in placer mining at Windham Bay and then became associated with Hirst-Chichagof. He was in tenn porary charge of that mining un- dertaking for some time and is said to be the man to whom much of the credit is due for the mines ultimate success. When Marshal Mahoney assumed office. Childs
