NO COMMITMENT TO REDUCTION OF
EXPENSES

That fine Democratic newspaper, pub
Ished in Charlotte, North Carolina, The
News, agrees with the views of The Times
News as to Interpretation of the Pittsburgh
speech of President Roosevelt. The News
comment is so pointed and logical that we
give space to it here:
Morning papers which headned the Presidents
speech in Pittsburgh last night. PRESIDENT
PROMISES BALANCED BUDGET, were over
optimistic The President has promised no such
thing We wish il were so, but 1t just isn't. Inc
President is confident merely that If national IN
come continues 10 increase at ITS present rate
there will come time within "a year or two when
receipts will exceed expenditures. That is eonsid-
erably more vague than his previous successive as
surances of having the budget balanced by 1888
or 1886 or 1887.
Furthermore the Presidents claim that the
deficit has been steadily declining for three years
running although technically this year 1t did not
decline needs qualification The technicality re-
ferred to payment of the bonus. There was MOTH
ing more technical about it than any other dis
USrSement from the Treasury. II was an appfo-
priation voted by Democratic congress which had
got into the habit under the Presidents direction
of appropriating large sums without worrying
o'ermuch how the bills would be paid. But as 10
deficits in general, we take the position that they,
while lamentable, are not of so much sgnihcance
as expenditures The plain truth is that expendi-
lures have increased sharply during the last two
fiscal wears of the Roosevelt administration. More
and higher taxes have been collected, more and
more repayments of RFC and other loans have
been made so that the amount of the deficit did
one time actually show a decrease. The expendl-
lures. however are continuing undated right on
up into prosperity. MysticS and Seers may know
when they will be reduced but as for the Presi-
dent, we doubt that he has the remotest idea Ger
tainly he has made no promises
In the noise and confusion of national
campaign the voters should not permit
themselves to be fooled. We repeat what
this newspaper has previously said, eX-
penses of the federal administration go
right on up - the costs are mounting all
the while, despite the fact that the country
is assured that it is we'll out of the depres-
sion and has ALMOST returned to normal
conditions in every particular. The num-
Der of people on relief, or receiving gov
eminent support in some other form, Is
probably greater today that at any time IN
the past except at the peak of the depres-
sion. AS matter of fact the governments
own figures show that some tens OF thou
sands have been added to the relief rolls
in the past sixty days.
All this in spite of the assurance the
country is given by certain politicians that
business is booming everywhere, that we
are out of the depression, and that pros
perity has been restored by borrowing and
spending.

the Old Guardism repudiated by

the Old Guardism repudiated by
the voters in 1882. There must
be no return to the conditions
that produced such evils as the
Teapot Dome scandal, the uncon-
scionablc Hawley-Smoot tariff, the
speculative excuses Of the Cool
idgc New Era" the wholesale de-
frauding of investors. the control
and abuse of the national credit
by Wall Street. The people, we
arc certain, will tolerate no such
return. The people gave clear
mandate against Old GuardiSm in
government. and we credit the adj
ministration with large accom-
plishmcnt in carrying out their
will.
We shall be accused. no doubt,
of advocating q return to the old
order. If it is meant by this that
we want government to 90 back
to decent habits Of thrift, back TO
a finn regard FOR sworn obliga-
tons to abide by the Constitution,
back to encouragement of the
state TO rCasSumC their old rights
and privileges and cease to be
mendicants at Washington, back
TO an economy Of free competi-
ton. strictly regulated under con-
stitutional forms but not con-
trolcd - if this is what the inn
peachment means, we plead guilty.
We speak for the right of labor to
use its full economic power to bet
ter its status; for constant empha-
sis on the rights. duties and privi-
leces of local sclf-government; for
all the civil liberties of the Bill of
Rights.

What of Governor Landon? We
are aware of the apprehension
that his election would mean the
politicaI enhancement of special
privilege. We recall on the other
hand the progressive support that
brought about his nomination and

NASH-KELv|NATOR
MERGERAPPROvED
Directors of Both Concerns
Vote for $55,0OO,000
Combination.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT. October 2S.-Directors
Of the Kelvinator Corp. of Detroit,
manufacturers of electric equipment,
and of the Nash Motors Co. Of Ke-
nosha and Racine, Wis, automobile
manufacturers, voted yesterday to
merge the two concerns, which have
assets totaling about s55,o00,00o.
George W. Mason, president and
chairman of the board of Kelvinator,
made the announcement late today
after Kelvinator directors met here
and Nash directors met in Chicago.
The new company will be known as
Nash-Kelvinator Corp, with Charles
w. Nash as chairman of the Board
Of Directors, and Mason as president.
Officials here would make no COM
ment on reports that the Nash plant
might be removed to Detroit.
Mason said the plan Of merger
will be submitted to stockholders
of both companies as soon as neces-
sary legal papers can be prepared.
To effect the merger, his announce
ment said, 'the authorized capitai
stock of the Nash Motors Co. shall be
increased in an amount sufficient to
issue one and three-eighths shares for
each share of stock of Kelvinator
Corp. The number of shares of stock
held by stockholders of the Nash Mo-
tors Co. will remain unchanged"
Neither company has any funded
debt or preferred stock. Nash has
2,466, 900 shares outstanding and Kel-
vinator has 1,l96,8O0 common shares
outstanding. Kelvinator OF Canada.
Ltd, a subsidiary. has a small issue
of preferred stock.
The merger, said by financial au-
thorities to be the first in 10 years
to involve a large automobile COM
pany, brings together at its head two
men with long experience in automo-
tive manufacturing. Nash was a
pioneer of the industry and at one
time was president of General Mo-
tors Corp. Mason once was with
Dodge Bros. and later was general
works manager of the Chrysler Corp

PACE MAINTAINED
AT STEEL PLANTS
National Rate Unchanged
Despite SIackening in
Pittsburgh Area.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October ga lull in
new steel business. particularly in the
heavy products, has brought down the
Pittsburgh operating rate to 10 per
cent, a drop Of two points, but the
average for the country as whole is
substantially unchanged at "a per
cent because of increases elsewhere,
Iron Age said today in the weekly
review of the industry.
THE Pittsburgh district, where Ca
pacity in the heavy products pre-
dominates" the trade journal says,
"is chiefly affected by an inclination
to mark time until after election in
building construction projects. which
also face seasonal curtailment with
the approach of Winter. Other dis
tricts have been aided by the release
of deferred specifications by some au-
tomobile companies.
while for the first time in many
weeks indications do not all point in
the direction of a continued upward
movement in steel production, the
present easier situation has not
changed the opinion of the industry
that conditions are highly favorable
for an operating rate varying from
10 to rs per cent during the remain
der of the year. This view is
predicated on the assumption that
higher steel prices will prevail in the
first quarer and will be anticipated
by fresh buying movement.
Pig iron shipments this month
probably will exceed those of any pre-
vious month of the year
A further decline of IS cents a
ton In heavy melting steel scrap at
Pittsburgh brought the Iron Age scrap
composite down to $3.50 from the
years peak of sl6.75 in the third
week Of September.
