FOR CITY SCHOOLS
Gain of S6O4, ,695 Will Allow
for But Few New Build
ings and Sites.

District schools this year will have
the advantage of $604.695 more thar
they had last year, but few OF the
projected new structures or sites foi
future buildings were approved by the
Budget Bureau, according to It's rec
concentrations sent to Congress today
Out Of q total Of $l8,041 ,339 asked
by the Board of Education and rec
commended by the Commissioners the
Bureau approved $l2,066, ,745. Blu,
this reduced sum will care for q num-
ber of projects for which the board
has fought for the last few years.
The approved improvements. fos
which additional money was recon-
mended. include 100000 for the re-
placement of the Dennison School
the vocational school for girls. Fol-
some time the Board of Education has
sought to replace or remove this
school, which is located on S street
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets.

,820 for night schools: $23.370 fol
care of buildings and grounds; $4,000
for transportation Of tubercular anc
crippled children. and sl83.40o fol
additional maintenance and equipment
items.
Anticipating the drastic slash made
by the Budget Bureau, the Board o1
Education is now engaged in planning
a fve-year program that will not only
meet existing needs but will also NEE
demands for several years to come.
Among the l9 building projects
turned down by the bureau are the
following:
Additions to the Bancroft School
Shepherd School. Whittier School
Noyes School, Kingman School, Ketch'
EN-. Monroe. Syphax, Giddings, Mar
garet Murray Washington, Shaw
Junior High. Eastern and Armstrong
High Schools.
The board has sought funds to con.
struct q new eight-room school on thu
site OF the present Bunker Hill Schoo
and to erect q new senior high schoo
building in Takoma Park. Funds for {
new elementary school on Bladens
burg rosd near Mount Olivet Cemeter,
also were asked and denied.
More than a score Of requests fol
land purchases for new school site!
were rejected.
The board hopes to make up for q
part of the denied program through
the new f1ve-year building plan tha
is now being compiled.

next fiscal year will show a decreased
need for appropriations. With the
credit of the Nation at its highest" /"
the President says: The average Of
the business men of the Nation stand
ready to do their share. It is to be
hoped that motives and attacks which
spring only from the desire for politi-
cal or financial power on the part Of
a few will not retard the steady prog
ress we are making
To prove his case, the President re-
cites the gross deficit of the Govern
ment for the years 1884 and 1885 and
the estimated gross deficit for the years
1896 and 1887. The gross deficit of the
Government in 1884 was $3,989, ,000,-
0co; in 1895, s3,575, ,00o, 900; in 1896
(estimate), $3,234, ,000, 900, and in 1887
(estimate), $1,098, 100000. The esti-
mate for 1897, however, does not in
clude any new appropriations for work
relief.
Deficit Figure in Doubt.
Until these estimates for relief sre
submitted by the President and passed
upon by Congress, 1t Is clear that the
final estimate of gross deficit Of the
Government for 1887 cannot be made.
The President, however, is banking on
the belief that the needs for relief will
not exceed $2,136, 100000 for the fiscal
year 1887. If the need for new relief
appropriations should go above that
figure. then the deficit for 1897 would
exceed the deficit for 1886. BY as much
less they are than that figure, so will
the deficit for 1887 be less than that
for 1896.
The President says that no estimate
for enforcing the much discussed "po-
tato control act" has been included
in the budget. The reason, he says,
for this failure to include such an
estimate Is that it is believed that the
act should be amended "along lines
recommended by the Secretary of
Agriculture. A supplemental estimate
can then be submitted.
The potato control act has been
thorn in the side of the A. A. A. since
its enactment by Congress
In his discussion of the fiscal prob
lem of 1897" the President gives Q
statement Of receipts, expenditures, re-
covery and relief, gross deficit and
gross public debt covering the years
1884, 1885 (actuaD and 1886 and 1887
(estimated). In round numbers, the
receipts for these years are shown to
be: 1884, $3,116, 600, 900; 1888, $780,
000, 900: 1885. s4.41l ,000, 900, and 1887,
$5.6S4 100000. The great increase In
revenues, the President insists does not
come from heavy new taxes. but from
the restoration Of business and incomes
Of the people.
The regular expenditures of the Gov
ernment for the same series Of years
taken in order from 1894 on are as
follows: $3,444.0oo, 900, $4.3o6, 600 900.

S26, ,0ee for Land Purchase.
The only land purchase item ap-
proved by the bureau Is provided for
the John r. Cook School. An appro-
prlation Of $4,000 Is recommended
for this purpose
For the Sewer Department. the
bureau recommended q reduction OF
$50, 900 under the current appropria-
ton Of $175,000 for suburban sewer
construction on the ground that re-
cent grants Of emergency funds would
advance the sewer program far ahead
Of the proposed schedule. The bureau.
however, did provide nearly sl5o.ooQ

under construction at Blue Plains,

Like the Police Department and the
schools, the Public Utilities Commis-
sion also was given a setback in con-
nection with plans to restore its stan
to normalcy. The personnel was dras-
tically reduced several years ago. This
year the commission recommended a
number Of new employees. but the
Budget Bureau increased the current
appropriation by only $4,000 and al-
located this money for three addi-
tional members Of the staff.

REQUEST is DENIED
Utilities Body Gets Only $4,000
Increase in Funds.

Despite plea by the Public Utilities
Commission for q substantial increase
in funds for an adequate personnel.
the Budget Bureau allowed an increase
of only $4,000 for additional employees
over the current appropriation.
The $1,000, however. is intended to
add three employees to the commits

FATAL INTERMEDIATES

There is an unavoidable relation be-
tween government and business.
Out of the very nature of their re-
spective functions, they must, there
fore be cooperative, if both are to
reach the highest possible service.
Government derives its financial
sinews from prosperous business Its
attitude, therefore, should be neither
predatory nor confiscatory of the
sources from which comes its capacity
to carry on its duties.
1t is more than casually to be re-
GREETED that government and spokes-
men for the world Of busienss, finance
and industry, throw brickbats at each
other while all should be concentrating
on recovery.
The purpose Of this comment is not
so much to fix responsibility as to voice
regret The government Of the United
States belongs to the people of the
United States, is supposed to operate
for the greatest good Of the greatest
number; but in SO doing, there is moth
ing in the premises which pre-sup-
poses that in the fulfillment of this ideal
it is incumbent upon the government
to be punitive in its attitude toward
any single group.
Business and industry not only sup
port government, but support society
as well. The progressiveness of those
who compose American industry
workers and managers-has built this
country, and the only hope for re-.
employment of the idle workers. 1t is
unjust and harmful of the national
welfare to insinuate that business men
whether they are manufacturers,
tradesmen or financiers-are any more
selfish or unpatriotic than any other
group, even politicians
Business is entitled to no special
privilege but neither does it deserve
special punishment when it differs with
politicians as to what will quickest
bring recovery.

the funeral of their grandmother, Mrs.
Louise Long.
The severe weather and snow have
driven the deer to the farmers barn
yards for food AS many as 80 have
been seen in one bunch nibbling at
the hay which was thrown down for
cows and horses. 1t has also been
noted that there is good percentage Of
bucks in the number
The hopes we expressed last week
for milder weather have SO far been
unfulfilled. Since then the mercury
has stood at 80 and 40 degrees below
and on one morning az degrees below
zero.
Last Thursday afternoon, Mr.. and
Mrs. Asa Curtis lost their home by fire.
No one was at home when the fire
started, of unknown origin, and the fire
had gained considerable Roadway be-
fore Mr.. Curtis discovered it. Some
furniture and clothing were saved, but
the loss to the family is great. The ex-
treme cold weather prevailing at the
time added to the Inconvenience caused
by the loss of their home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Williams of LIB
by were here for Mrs. Longs funeral
last Thursday They returned to Libby
Monday.
The town of Fortine is economizing
on water these days, as the river is
the nearest supply. The long cold spell
cut off the supply from the pipe line
of the Fortine waterWorks.

WE WISH THE LADIES MUCH
SUCCESS.

The Libby Woman's club will per-
form a real service for the community
if it can carry to successful con-
clusion the lessening of radio inter-
ference in the city
Interference with radio reception has
become so bad that it is nuisance of
large proportions. During past months
1t has become almost impossible to en-
Joy good radio program without hav-
ing to put up with great deal of inter-
fering notes.-the grind and squeal of
a running motor at some distance This
is particularly bad on Sunday. 1t
seems that certain thoughtless in
dividuals choose that day either to
catch up on their sewing and thereby
keep their electric sewing machines
humming away, or decide TO clean the
house from top to bottom, with the re-
suit that the merry hum Of the vacuum
sweeper is mixed in with the radio pro-
gram. We presume these are not the
only guilty machines; there are electric
mixers, violet ray machines, etc. etc.
without end And just SO sure as one
becomes interested in a fine proc am,
someone is certain to start up ore of
those plaguey contraptions.
We recall that similar move was
started a few years ago The city
council was induced to pass an ordi-
nance providing for the elimination of
much of this trouble Punishment was
provided thereby for persistent vio-
lators. The ordinance was passed
with the understanding that the city
would not be required to perform any
of the police work connected Herewith.
That necessary part of the enforcement
was to be looked after by interested

billions. Here are some things they
should think about

billions. Here are some things they
should think about:
Federal public works expenditures
have risen 400 per cent in recent years.
Yet that has taken care of less than s
per cent of the unemployment The
reason is that the more Uncle Sam
pump works, the less states, cities and
counties try to stimulate employment
Before the depression, 775,OOo in
dividuals were directly employed on
city, county, state and federal public
works projects. In 1895. the total was
only 605,00O Federal expenditures ac-
counted for less than 10 per cent of all
public works OUTLAWS during 1925-1929,
but in 1885 they amounted to about
so per cent.
A more unpleasant side of the picture
is what has happened to private con-
struction During 1925-l929, private
construction averaged S9,132, 100000
yearly; during 1885, it averaged ST.
470000,000 If public works-federal,
state, city and county-increased to
their maximum in the past, they would
supply jobs for only 100000; if private
construction rose to only so per cent of
its 1925-1929 level, it would put L.
$4,000 to work.
There are two alternatives: Either
continue to pour billions down the
overworked federal pump with the
hope Of putting 100000 on jobs, or re-
store confidence, stop the mourning of
growing deficits, and encourage the
private construction industry to provide
employment for 1,575,000.
That shouldn't be hard choice.
