Based on Estimates.
The items for oldage security and
pensions of the needy blind were
placed in the bill after Elwood Street.
the director of public safety, had ex-
planned the needs. He said that the
$l20,000 is based on the estimates of
the Budget Bureau figured on five
twelfths of the estimate by the Budget
Bureau for old-age assistance and the
aid for the needy blind. The old-age
fund is intended to carry out the pro-
visions Of the Federal security act and
the District Of Columbia old-age as
sistance act passed by Congress in
August to cover the five-month period
from February through June 30.
On the relief rolls are approxi-
mately 1900 persons over IS years
of age. 1t is estimated that at least
80 per cent of these would be eligible
ior old-age assistance. In addition
a considerable number of persons IS
years of age or older, Mr.. Street
pointed out, who have not been de-
pendent upon relief will be eligible
for old-age assistance under the law.
Fourteen hundred persons, therefore,
are considered minimum number of
eligibles.

The only certain thing Is that

the real ansWer, including Mr..
Morgenthau, tDho confessed as

The way this vast, incomprehensible
situation is sized up frankly by the
best fiscal authorities here is this:
Mr.. Morgenthau probably will be
able to avoid any greenbacking or in
flationary tricks to get his money.

how he and President Roosevelt have

S64,5DQ,0DO HELD
SECURITY NEED
Sum Asked for Grants to
States for First Six
Months.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Total Federal grants to States for
the first six months of this year
under the social security act are
estimated at s64,500,000
This was disclosed today in report
OF hearings before House Subcom-
mittee on Deficiency Appropriations.
John G. Winant, chairman Of the
Social Security Board, testified $52,-
100000 would be needed for assist
ance to the aged, S4,000,000 for the
blind and $s,0oO,00O for children S
aid
Winant said 13 Saskatchewan
Idaho, Maine, Iowa, Maryland. Mich
igan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska.
New Hampshire, Vermont, Wisconsin
and Wyoming-have, qualified for old
age assistance. Twelve other States
are expected to win quick approval
of their plans. The Government will
grant up to SIS a month for needy
aged, provided States match the pay
mentS.
Arthur J. Altmeyer, member Of the
board, said there are about 100000
people over IS years Of age in the
country, but probably only about L.
100000 of them will qualify for pen
sions.
Turning to another appropriation
request the House committeeman
found that the population of Federal
prisons has been growing.
Not only are there 2148 more pris-
oners than a year ago, Sanford Bates.
director of the Bureau of Prisons,
testified but the number incarcerated
for violation of internal revenue laws
is close to the prohibition peak. In
fact, he said, the increase, which had
been "a great surprise to all OF us"
was caused principally by 1.-The large
lumber of convictions for internal
revenue law violations"
The bureau asked S889,725 to buy
food and clothing for the added
prisoners
Publication of subcommittee hear
ings on the supply bill showed that
revenues under the Guffey coal act
are officially estimated at $4,000, 900
a year. This would be more than
10 times the 100000 expected to
cover expenses OF administering the
law.
But to collect not exceeding $780,
900 in taxes under the potato con-
troll act, officials testified, $l,750,0 900
is needed by the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Chairman Buchanan, Democrat, of
Texas asked Chairman Charles F.
Hosford, jr., of the Coal Commission,
if it were not "a little unjust collect
ing 10 times the amount of taxes
that it costs to administer the act?"
We'll" Hosford replied, 1T was
not my understanding, sir, that the
tax was intended merely to cover
the cost of administration; it was a
revenue measure"
Il am just thinking" Buchanan
persisted, IF the coal industry should
be burdened with an excise taxi
presume it is an excise tax?"
Evening star., 1936-01-21

There will probably be no more
tricks now with the bookkeeping gold
profit. They will need that $780,
100000 for the stabilization fund for
long time yet. There probably will
be no action to open the gold market,
as asked by the committee for the
Nation. Nor is there any likelihood
of reopening the domestic gold and
silver markets.
One thing may be banked on. The
taxes you have seen so far are only
the beginning of what you will see,
after the election.
Sound Money Men.
Pleased and displeased fiscal
authorities who know Messrs. Roose-
velt and Morgenthau thoroughly seem
to agree both are essentially sound
money men. That is, they want to
spend, but spend within reason.
Where the pleased and displeased have
disagreed and parted is on the ques-
ton Of where the line of reason lies.
This is supposed to explain the de-
parture Of Assistant Treasury Secre-
tary Coolidge. Men with the COM
bination to the Treasury vaults say
Mr.. Coolidge did not suddenly become
displeased. Nor was there any def
mite break on a definite policy.
Rather, they noticed Mr.. Coolidge
month by month lately becoming
more and more depressed with the
prospects Of raising money to meet
more and more expenditures.
There is one neD reason Uhy the
experts belieue that Messrs. Roose.
vet and Moroenthau may safely
raise the money in prospect 1t is
that the country is no longer I'm
1cky on the money question. II
recent polls OF public opinion are
1nyindication, the people are think
ing and talking about spending,
unemployment, farm relief, ETC.,
but not about imitation. In fact.
the infationist bloc ,Das so weak
on the bonus in Congress the other
day that it was unable to put up
even a good fight. Two years ago
Mr.. Rooseuelt had to trick them
out OF putting something over on
him (stlper).
The other reasons are the same old
ones which have enabled the unpre-
cedented financing done so far. The
banks are filled with money, have no
place to lend vast sums, except to the
Government.
The inside on the tax situation Is as
clear as the imminence of unexpected
spending.
Playing Good Politics.
New Dealers do not want any new
taxes levied before election. II they
can help it. They may have to impose
some excise taxes in connection with
the new farm program, but they will
hold until the last electoral vote is
counted to delay the new general tax
whict the current situation
obviously demands. That is good
politics.

"Isms' Bring Grief
Not Freedom
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
. SeEItineLS OF the Republic :

The worried theorists who have
been asking us to dilute our Con-
Stitutional form of government with
strong injections of Communism,
Fascism and the other isms of
Europe, had better stop pointing
with pride to their models.
Certainly the average American
sees nothing alluring in the recent
history of those continental nations
whose PHILOSOPHERS we are urged to
adopt.
To that history Spain has been
adding a new chapter for all the
world to read. Its tragic text is
written in the blood of the very
workers whom the new iSmS promise
to save.
Is this unusual? Think back over
recent years and you have the
answer. The cruel guerrilla warfare
that established Communism in
Eastern Europe, and the "purges" of
Central Europe are still fresh in the
memory of every adult.
And what has been gained? What
have the regimented millions now
under the thumbs of SOvietS or
Dictators achieved, for which the
American citizen would swap the
constitutional guarantees won and
established by the Founders Of our
Nation?
The American Revolution was
fought for Freedom - freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, freedom
to govern ourselves, to direct our
own lives and our own affairs. That
freedom was won-and perpetuated
in our Constitution.
But whether Fascism, or Com
munism, or any other ism, wins in
Europe, Freedom loses. In it's place
come intolerance, oppression and
blOodshed.
The theorists who ask us to weaken
our Constitution so those alien phi
losophies may be incorporated in our
government, not only ignore the
evidence now glaringly apparent
abroad - they fail to understand
either the American people or Amer
ican history.

Was a monarchy ever considered

During the Revolutionary War, a
group of army officers proposed q
monarchy and offered the crown to
Washington. In his reply Washing

respect for me, to Danish these
thoughts from your mind, and never
communicate, as from yourself or

URGE All CLUBS
TO FEED LAMBS

In those sections where there is
a sufficient amount of feed, where
a small amount of lamb feeding
might be carried on, there is ar
unusual opportunity for boys anC
girls in Carbon County to feed a
pen of lambs this fall and winter
The Montana Wool Growers Con-
vention will be held in Billings in
January, and this state organiza-
tion has definitely gone on record
as sponsoring the All fat lamb
show in Billings at the same time,
Those who are interested in the
lamb feeding should select about
so pound lambs, advises o. P. Ro-
berts, county agent, and start feed
ing as soon as possible.
Gains between ia and 1I3
pounds per day may he expected
in the feeding and it will take all
of the time in which to get the
desired gains and have lambs
weighing about 100 lbs in the fin
ished condition for the show. Not
only will there be- prizes: offered
for the pens of best fat lambs, but
this will give a good opportunity
to market these lambs after they
have been fed. It is more than
likely that most of the feeding
done will be carried on in Yellow
stone and Carbon county. Anyone
interested in this feeding project,
who has the amount of feed neces-
sary, should Immediately write the
extension office at Joliet and en-
roll in this feeding project and re-
cord books will be furnished.
