A brighter picture of the state of the

in previous official estimates appeared
in prospect today as the Treasury tai
lied its books for the fiscal year ending
at midnight.
Secretary Morgenthau will give the
official statement tomorrow night on a

what he characterizes as his annual"
speech, but in the meantime some in
dication of the final figures may be
gained from the Treasury's daily state
ment of condition, latest of which is
through the close of business June 26.
For instance, it appears definite that
budgetary estimates of receipts will be
more than fulfilled, excluding the in
validated processing taxes, and that

cast of a deficit of S5,966, 100000 on

last September called for receipts of

including S52e,o00,0o0 of processing
taxes, which, in the meantime, have
been ruled unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court. Through June 26, and
despite receipts of only S67,000,0o in
processing taxes. the Governments
total income has been $4,000 900, 600.
On the other side of the ledger,
President Roosevelt estimated that
expenditures during the year would
total $7,645, 600, 900, resulting in
deficit of 1924, 100000. This, how
ever, was before passage Of the SOL
diers' bonus measure providing for
immediate payment Of the l945
claims. This, Morgenthau testified
recently before the Senate Finance
Committee, would add S2,237, 900, 900

ST. PAUL, June 30.-Emergency
measures TO carry drought distressed
farmers through a crisis of withered
crops were considered by Government
chieftains and officials of five North
west States today.
National Works Progress Admins
traitor Harry Hopkins came from
Washington to join spokesmen from
the arid area in the task of drafting
program.
Proposals for construction of farm
to-market roads and small dams for
water conservation were shaped as
Federal and State estimations indi-
Gated $4,000 families would require aid.
The cost was unofficially calculated
from $4,000 900 to S100,000,00
Cows. Elmer Holt and Walter We'll
ford sat in for Montana and North
Dakota, respectively. W. P A. Admin
istrator Victor Christgau spoke for
Minnesota. South Dakota and Wyo-
ming were represented.
New Damage Reported.
While cases of farmers in the North
west, who had not enjoyed good har-
vest in six or seven years, were cited,
reports of new drought damage came
from the Midwest and South.
They prompted Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace to plan personal
inspection of the affected prairie
States. While he arranged to leave
the National Capital today, the ad-
ministration's special Drought Com
mittee prepared to lay relief recon-
mendations before President Roose-
welt.
Four rural resettlement agents
started a tour OF South Dakota.
Showers, followed by lower tempera-
lures, provided a temporary respite in
the northern half of the Midwest yes
terday. More were forecast for today
| in parts of the same territory. But
concern over inroads already made
was reflected in an upswing in the
corn market.

MD. STUDENTS
DEMAND NEW
SAFETY LAW

Actuated by the fear that seri-
Gus accident may result from the
increase in motor vehicular traffic
on the campus, student leaders
at the University Of Marvlond
have started a drive for drastic
changes in the pedestrian and
auto traffic on the university
grounds. According to q state
ment in the current issue Of Dia-
mondback, student newspaper. the
presence of more than 500 auto
mobiles and 1000 students on the
campus makes conditions during
rush hours worse than on the Hal
timore Boulevard.
Principal causes Of the danger
were given as the failure Of pedeS-
trians to observe traffic rules,
recklessnesS and speeding by driv-
ers, disregard Of parking regula-
lions and lack Of authoritative
policing Of the campus.
Efforts of the student leaders in
curbing the evil will be directed
toward an effort to inculcate in
the students a need for saner driv-
ing. Thomas Birmingham, Spar
rows Point, Md, president Of the
Student Government Association,
has said:
while the person who drives
on the Maryland campus is less
likely to be arrested and pun
ished than he would be on the
open road, he is to be reminded
that an improperly handled car
is just as deadly in his own back
yard, where roads are narrower
and curves more frequent than
under ordinary driving cOndi-
lions.
However, students are re-
minded that the executive coun-
ell is empowered to suspend any
student who is found to be diSre-
garding the safety of others in
this manner"

Over 100000 Citizens Pass
By Bier of Distinguished
Farmer-Labor Leader AS
Body Lies In State AT.
Capitol at St. Paul.
10000 AT FUNERAL

Saturday night, August %,
Floyd Bjornstjerne Olson, three
times Farmer-Labor Governor of
Minnesota, passed AWAY at st.
Mary's hospital at Rochester.
Olson's death came after a des-
perate and courageous nine
months fight against the rayages
of cancer Of the stomach. The
death of Olson brings to an end
the carer Of q man who no doubt
was destined for further political
advancement.
The story of Olson's life is the
record of a man, who, fighting
against overwhelming handicaps,
raised himself, by his own power
into brilliant political career.
Olson was born Friday the 18th
in November, 1891, in a small
frame house located in one of the
poor working class districts in
Minneapolis. Olson's mother and
father, both immigrants from the
Scandinavian countries, were sim
pie, Woodworking people. His IA
Their was born in Trondhjem, Nor
way, and the birthplace of his:
mother was in Varmland. Sweden.
From the time the late Cover
nor was old enough to work he.
contributed to the slender incomel
Of the family. His jobs included.
newsboy, freight trucker, farm.
hand, longshoreman and such
other work as is done by millions
of toiling American workers.
His struggle to attain an educa-
ton was the story of a struggle
that is all too common of youths
born of working class families.
Constantly handicapped by lack of
funds, forced to leave school at in
tervals to help contribute to the
family income and always harried
| by financial difficulties he was
allie to graduate from high school
and attend one year at the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
Leaving school because of lack
Of funds he roved to the west
coast, living the life and learning
the problems of itinerant laborers
at that period. Working on the
Seattle docks he joined the I. w.
w. and there made his first con-
tact with radical political move
ments. After two years Of wan
dering he returned home and COM
pleted his law studies in the North
west College of Law, from which
he graduated in 1915. That year
he net and married Ida Krejci.
In 1919 he was appointed spe-
cial assistant Hennepin County At
toInev and a year later was made
County Attorney. In 1922 he ran
for the office Of County Attorney
and was elected by the highest
vote ever receivd by an aspirant
to that office.
During this time the Non-Parti-
san League had been spreading
