Some of the national capitals
financial experts are wondering
how it is that the federal budget
will run "only" $2,096,996,300
out of balance this fiscal year in
stead of $3,596,996,300.
Two factors raised the question
after the budget bureau issued it's
recent recapitulation. The first
is relief expenditures. The $1,000,
966,30O deficit includes only the
81, ,425, 100000 appropriation vo-
ted last session of Congress. AL
ready, relief officials have served
notice that the SLABS, 900, 200
will be almost all gone when Con-
gress reconvenes in January. 1t
will, therefore, be necessary to get
more money to continue relief as
at present. Relief officials hope
$50O,000,000 extra will be
enough.
If they ask, and get, $5O0,000,-
900, the deficit for this year will
be $2,596,996,300.
Second is the proposed reduc-
ton in the Treasury's working
balance" In the last couple of
years, the Treasury has accumu-
lated about $2,o0O,000,00O in its

cash fund, just like an individual
would build up that much in his
checking account.
But now the plan is to reduce
that $2,000,O00,0O0 by half. That
does not mean that the $1,000,.
100000 will be saved, but simply
that it will be taken out of the
working balance" and used tc
pay running expenses. Therefore
by June 80, say the analytical, the
government will have spent $3,.
$780, 100000 more than it took
in during the fiscal year.
Much is appearing in print
these days about how various fed
eral agencies are reducing their
payrolls. For instance, about how
WPA dropped 200 employees; how
Rex Tugwell's Resettlement Ad-
ministration is cutting 20 per
cent; about how the AAA expects
to cut from 4, 900 to 1900 employ
es; about how the National Bit
luminous Coal Commission, char
ged with administering the inval-
idated Guffey Coal Act, has let
off hundred or so.
But in the background, the big
gest single group of civil employees
ever on the federal payroll is be-
ing quietly built up. At last ac-
counts, the Social Security Board
had 961 persons on it's payroll,
and beginning about November
Is it expects to begin a more rap
i'd expansion toward it's top of
10000 to 10000.
Even if WPA dropped 200, the
AAA 3,100, the RA 800 and the
Coal Commission 100, the net in
crease by the first of the year
would still be $500 to $500.
The hurricane season finds the
WPA trying to close door be-
hind a departed horse. Everyone
recalls the many lives lost at Mat
ecumbe and Tavernier, Florida,
last September when WPA veter-
ans were caught by the storm.

through AAA was further aggra-
waited during 1888 and 1884 by
the MIRA policies of restricted in
dustriaI production, fiat higher
wages and shorter hours, costly
systems of code regulation and
supervision.
The immediate effect of the
two policies together was to re-
duce consumption instead of in
crease it, contract purchasing
power everywhere rather than ex-
pand it, and contributed generally
to the dislocation of all commerce
and trade; until, in spite of the
law, the system of artificial con-
troll began to be relaxed by the ir-
resistable corrective pressures in
herent in our national economy. =:
To all practical effect the prin-
cipal NRA codes became inopera-
tive long before the Supreme
Court decision, in May, 1885. And
the great drought of 1884 advan-
ced farm prices somewhat in re-
lation to city prices in spite of the
AAA!
Meanwhile, however, the at
tempted management of the price
structure by government actually
had extended unemployment
through the last half of 1888 and
early 1884, and had, in addition,
produced utter chaos and stagna-
tion in the entire field of finance :
and investment.
Recovery Forces Paralyzed
At the same time, the AAA pay
ments, by paralyzing the normal
competitive forces in farm prices,
operated to keep great deal of
high-cost marginal production SOL
vent, thus dislocating further the
natural tendencies toward per-
manent price adjustments.
1t is argued in defense of the
New Deal program that heavy
farm debts incurred at the war
boom price level could not be IL !
quidated at the new, post-depres-i
sion level of agricultural commo-
dity prices. In relation to many
farm mortgages, that certainly
was true. But the inescapable per-
adjustment of this situa-
tion is the revision of the indivi-
dual debt, not the artificial man.
ipulation. of all prices. The latter,
could it ever succeed, would put ;
bad investments on par with
good loans, and thus undermine 1
the whole system of prudence and :
thrift.
1t may be claimed that increas-
ed farm prices since 1888 have
enabled many debt-burdened far
mers to regain solvency. But in so
far as this is fact (and it is not
a fact in as many cases as the
New Deal propaganda suggests)
the restored solvency is wholly
and will vanish when
the pegs are pulled from under the
present artificial price level. i
Nor will the government and
politics pull the pegs! They will '
pull themselves when the growing {
strain of distorted prices be- s
comes sufficiently intense. When
that happens, the over-expanded
farmer again will find himself
nsolvent. His problem has not
been solved. The day of settle
nent merely has been postponed

DEATH FOR STONE IS
4 GOOD EXAMPLE

Justice moved with finality in the
case of Elton Stone, 31-year-old murder
er of young 14-year old Mary Stammer
of Fresno. 1t is gratifying that the law
should strike so firmly and deservedly
at this man and all others of his ilk. Not
that vengeance by the state is, in itself,
of material benefit because it isn't. 1t
cannot through such means return Mary
10 the land of the living. But the speedy
and unhesitating verdict by Judge T. r.
Thomson of Fresno shows that the teeth
of the law are in good working order,
that they are barred against any and all
such criminals, that there was no trad
ing of a confession in return for a life
sentence on the part of police officers
or jurists. The best value of all lies in
the example which every criminal and
potential criminal should heed: that
crime doesn't pay and that California
sooner or later, will get most law break
ers.

In Steadily by Jerks

Business this year, economist suggests,
while making good progress is not likely to
make a continuous gain. 1t will advance and
recede, mostly in short spurts.
Or to vary the picture little, it will be the
old story of the frog climbing out of the well,
gaining five feet by day and slipping back four
feet at night. Some time during the year, he
thinks, there will be bigger relapse, but we
shall climb out of that, too. 1t would come,
very likely between midsummer and election
day.
The authority referred to, who attended the
recent meeting of economists in New York says
he was most impressed at that gathering by
the feeling of confidence in the good sense of
the American people. They want sane re-
covery, which pauses and then to conso-
date its gains-not another wild soar and fatal
plunge like that of 1929.

AN OPPORTUNITY
Al SMITH PASSES.

Al Smiths recent radio speech was a
disappointment to many people OF all
affiliations. That he is capable most
people agree. His views always have been
worth considering and heretofore he had
effectively welded much power over
popular thought For this reason his
attack on the present administration was
anticipated with the hope that he would
give tangible and logical reasons why
the New Deal isn't worth supporting and
Just as reasonable an outline of what
should be substituted in order to again
place the country back on its feet. In
stead, Al Smith displayed only outraged
emotion, heart-rending grief, and expert
ability at mud-slinging. Epithets such as
used are not convincing. The value of
the party system lies in the check-and-
balance benefits of the "Outs" pointing
out flaws and mismanagements of the
"Ins'. AS yet despite general unrest
and possibly an actual heavy swing away
from Roosevelt, no one has effectively
and satisfyingly made a case against the
methods in use the past few years. Al
Smith had the golden opportunity to do
this very thing. Those against the ad-
ministration desire fundamental reason
ing to reinforce their objections; those
for the administration should welcome
criticism so they can swap horses If the
argument is sufficiently convincing. As
yet, debating judges would rule mo Is
sue" and sporting referees would declare
mo contest. Smith had the chance to
assume new leadership, but passed it
up. Governor Landon of Kansas, next to
have the opportunity, should do better.

THE LAW is A
STRANGE THING

The laws which, youngsters are told,
should be obeyed sometimes act queerly.
For instance the other day here in Ell
Centre a man was arrested for stealing
coins from slot machine which is, in
turn, illegal, stealing money from men
who can afford to lose and young adol-
escents who cannot afford to lose. Again,
the Phoenix chief of police was fined
$500 Monday for raiding slot machines.
That these machines were protected by
a court Injunction thus making the sher-
ifs actions illegal appears to the maj
ority of us lay people as one of those
legal tricks by which we are taught to
disregard law and doubt its inevitable
