BALANCING THE BUDGET

The recent announcement OF Chair
man Pat Harrison of the senate finance
committee. that there absolutely will
be no increase in taxes comes as a wei
come assurance to Americans generally
Senator Harrison, one of two men
charged by the President with con-
pressional survey of the nations tax
structure, said the budget will be bal
anced in the 1898 fiscal year if congress
economies and revenues continue to
mount.
The senator's forecast was bolstered
by a continued improvement In the
treasury revenue outlook. Informal
estimates reveal the possibility that in
come from taxes may rise to $6,0OO,OOO,-
600 for the present fiscal year, as
against $4.115,956,0O0 for 1886 and 3d.
800, ACT 900 for 1885
Such assurance from high admin
istration official is doubly welcome to
American industrialistSs- The nation
business leaders have long contendec
that a balanced budget and clear GU
stand on tax matters is prime re-
uuisite to recovery No business man
can plan for the future with any as
surance as long as the threat OF con-
fiscatory taxes and an unbalanced bud
get hangs over his head
If the statement of the senate COM
mittee chairman represents the studied
determination Of the administration
America has taken another long step VI
out of the valley Of the depression.

Comment.
WORTHWHILE AND OTHERWISE,
ON MATTERS IMPORTANT AND
UNIMPORTANT.
NOTHING CAN STOP AMERICA

All indications point to 1887 as a
year of still further progress in the rise
of the nation out of the depression.
Employment in manufacturing indus
tries has risen steadily In the past year
and is likely to reach or surpass the
1929 levels in the near future-possibly
in the coming month.
General unemployment has fallen
sharply and many economists believe
that the census of the unemployed now
being planned by the department of
commerce will show two things: First,
that those who are without work and
are seeking work number less than
100000; second, that there is already
an actual shortage of skilled labor IN
many trades, industries and commune
ties. On this latter point no less an
authority than Dr. Harold G. Moulton,
head of the Brookings Institution, has
already predicted that we shall Eave
an actual shortage of labor within the
next five years if industrial production
RECEIVERS to the 1929 limit.
The need of the moment is leader
ship-wise and constructive leadership
in business as we'll as government The
responsibility to cooperate in the cons
plete restoration of employment and
then to help stabilize jobs for the flu
ture rests alike upon industry and upon
government.
The ancient truth that nothing can
stop America" still holds.

JUST A SUGGESTION

In looking at the architects drawing
Of the proposed new wing for the Libby
high school building an effect that IS
not what it should be at once is i'm
pressed on the discerning eye.
The architecture Of the front of the
proposed wing, facing Boulevard ave
nue., is decidedly different from that
Of the remainder Of the building The
effect is decidedly inharmonious. 1t i'm
presses one as being an entirely diff
ferent building tied onto an older
structure.
This drawing is only a preliminary
sketch and the lack of harmony has
undoubtedly been noticed by others and
probably will be corrected in the final
designing of the wing. There should
be an entirely different architectural
treatment of the front of the wing ac-
cording to our conception Of beauty OF
line and form.

As to Social Security Positions

Practically all positions under the
new Social Security law must be filled
according to civil service regulations
except attorneys and experts. All state
appointments are to be made In &C
cordance with the laws Of the state.
Those seeking positions must first quail
ify through competitive examination, Y
and when given. No large number o.
such examinations has yet been an
nounced, and, II Is said. II Is doubtful

Voter Must BE Registered Hector

The question Is frequently asked,
"Who will be entitled 10 vote at the
coming school bond election?" The
answer has been that only those can
vote whose names are on the present
tax roll. But it should be understood
that there is also another requirement.
To be entitled to vote at the bond cleo
ton one must also be registered
elector. In other words, the require
ments are that a persons name must
be on the tax roll and he or she must
be a registered elector.

Reduction of WPA Activity Will
Throw Greater Burden on Counties

IlEAAAI41Sf1p DEC -kIpcGidi J--L/tSPilC
urgent appeals to Washington during
the past week, State WPA Admins
traitor Joseph E. Parker today said, lit
appears positive that the go per cent
reduction in Montana's WPA quota
now under way-must 60 through as
ordered"
Although sympathetic with our pre-
sentation of the needs of Montana peo-
pie, Washington has given final advice
that near-depleted WPA monies allow
no other choice but to make this i'm
mediate cut from 22,5OO to $500 cases
by December Is, with a proportionate
decrease in the administrative staff in
the state and district Offices Mr. Par
ker said.
Strictly Work Program
From now on the WpA program will
have to be strictly work program
Plans have been made" Mr.. Parker
said, for the Resettlement Administra-
ton to care for all farm and farm
labor cases, and instructions issued to
the districts dropping all farmers and
farm labor cases from WPA projects
after the shift which went to work on
December / completes its period of
time for the month of December. At
the present time 1880 of the cases
carried in the Montana quota are clas-
sified as drought cases. This includes
quite large number of persons in
the drought areas, however, who are not
actual farm cases, but the result of the
instructions received from Washington
will be to remove from WPA rolls i'm
mediately about 10000 farmers.
Letters recently sent to county COM
missioners and other sponsors advis-
| ing them that the discontinuance Of the
less needy on WPA projects in the
state and the discontinuance of I'm
employables and persons not suited tc
WPA work projects would of necessity
have to be swifter than had been an
ticipated, and advising the county COM
missioners that they will have to as
sumo the load sooner than expected
Since the Resettlement Administration
does not operate projects, large num-
Der Of WPA projects, particularly If
| the drought areas, have to be closet
down. and through the Redistribution
of persons now working on WPA prof
ects as to need, at least 5000 person.
other than farmers must soon be dis.
continued as WPA clients.
Appeals Are Useless
I'VE have received large numbe
of appeals from sponsors, WPA clients
and organizations formed in variou
parts of the state for the purpose of ex
pressing their wishes" Mr.. Parker sale
"We greatly appreciate the confidenc
. expressed in the WPA and the desir
of the people over the state to con
tinue projects, but appeals to the stat
office are useless, for the reason tina
I we can not employ people whom we d
not have the money to pay. We hav
