RICHMOND, Dec. 16.-Dr. M. Ray
Doubles, dean of the University Of
Richmond Law School, has accepted
the Craftsmanship of a committee Of
The Young Democratic Clubs of vir-
einia to make an intensive study Of

Serving on the committee with Dean
Doubles will be Charles R. Fenwick

years. A resolution advocating spe-
ciflc changes in the law was offered
at the last convention OF the Young
Democrats, but the convention de-
cided to name a committee of five,
to be appointed by the president, to
make study and submit. its findings.

conduct an Independent study Of
the various elements and c0ndi-
tions affecting the fiscal relations
between the United States and the
District Of Columbia.
The report contains detailed
findings and recommendation
with the supporting data and in
formation collected from the fed
eral and district governments in
Washington and from II compar-
able American cities and the CAPT.
tai cities Of FL foreign countries.
The application Of the basic
principles and recommendation
as outlined and detailed i'm the re-
port is reflected in the following
3-point formula, which I recon-
mend be carefully considered by
the congress with a view TO en-
acting such legislation at this
session as may be necessary TO es-
tabllsh equitable fiscal relation
ships between the two govern
ments.
!. Intcrgovernmental contrac-
tual services.-CO ntractuaI ar
rangements Shall be established
for the reimbursement Of the cost
Of specific intergovernmental
services supplied either govern
ment by the other. Appropria-
tions therefor shall be included in
the respective annual department
tai budgets.
2. Capital OUTLAWS Of joint in
terest. The National Capital
planning commission proposed In
the report shall determine the
extent Of the respective federal
and district interests In capital
outlays and improvements to be
included in the district budget.
3. Per capita governmental
costs. - Pending the grant Of
broader powers Of local control
over purely local affairs, the ex-
cess Of the district governmental
costs per capita over the average
of those in comparable cities
shall be assumed by the federal
government: provided, however,
that such excess district govern
mental costs shall be assumed
only after allowance has been
made for reimbursements due to
unusual costs Occasioned by con-
gressiOnal enactments.
i also recommend that, concur
rently with enactment of any leg
islatiOn which carries into effect
the provisions Of this continuing
formula, the substantive law pro-
viding for annual federal con-
tributions Of fixed percentage
of district appropriations be re-
pealed and that the system of an
nual federal lump-sum cOntribu-
tons be abandoned.
The application of this formula
to the 1888 budget estimates
would provide for net reim-
bursement by the federal govern
ment to the District of Columbia
Of S2,533,357, made up as follows:
!. IntergOvernmen tai

2. Capital OUTLAWS 80. 536,950
3. Excess per capita

governmental costs -. 49,.
Total .............. 2,5s3,357
After the application of the
formula there will still be diff
cit In the general revenue account
Of the District of Columbia Of
about $9,80O,000, which will make
1t necessary. Of course, to provide
additional revenue. Sources of
additional revenue are indicated

FRANKLIN ID. ROOSEVELT
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1937-01-08

Washington, Jan. S-UP)-
The text Of President RoOseveIts
budget message follows:
To the Congress Of the United
States:
Pursuant TO provisions Of law
I transmit herewith the budget Of
The United States government for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1888, together with this message,
which Is q part thereof.
The estimates have been devel-
Oped after careful analysis Of the
revenues, obligations, and reason
able needs Of the government, and
I. recommend appropriations for
the purposes specifically detailed
herein.
PART
The programs inaugurated dur
ing the last four years to combat
the depression and to initiate
many needed reforms have cost
large sums Of money, but the ben
efits obtained from them are far
outweighing all their costs. We
shall soon be reaping the full bene-
fits Of those programs and shall
have at the same time balanced
budget that will also include pro-
vision for reduction Of the public
debt.
The fiscal plans OF the federal
government for these four years
have been formulated with two
detectives in mind. Our first was
to restore q successful economic
life TO the country, by providing
greater employment and purchas-
ing power for the people, by
stimulating a more balanced use
Of our productive capacity, and by
increasing the national income
and distributing II on wider base
o. prosperity. Our second was to
gain new advantages Of perma-
nent value for the American pe0-
pie. Both Of these detectives can
be accomplished under sound
financial policy.
BUSINESS IMPROVES YEARLY
Business conditions have shown
each year since 1888 marked i'm
prOvement over the preceding
year. Employment in private in
dustry is increasing. Industrial
production, factory pay rolls, and
farm prices have steadily risen.
These gains make 1t possible to
reduce for the fiscal year 1888
many expenditures Of the federal
Wernment which the general de-
preston made necessary. Although
wo must continue to spend sub
stantiaI sums to provide work for
those whom industry has not yet
absorbed, the 1888 budget Is in
balance; and, except for debt re-
dnction Of S401 $4,000, IL will re-
main In balance even II later on
there are included additional ex-
penditures of as much as $1,537,-
$4,000 for recovery and relief. We
expect, moreover, II improvement
In economic conditions continues
at the present rate, 10 be able to
attain in 1889 completely bal
anced budget. with full provision
for meeting the statutory require
ments for debt reduction.
LASTING BENEFITS
In carrying out this policy the
American people are obtaining
lasting benefits. Economic pro-
lection Of the aged and physical
ly handicapped is being secured
through the operations Of the So
cial Security Act. Ability of the
farmer TO obtain a more constant
livelihood has been enhanced by
the enactment of legislation es-
pecially designed for that pur-
pose. The home owner has been
benefited through the financing
of mortgages at reasonable rates
Of interest. Investors in secur-
tiles are being given larger
measure Of protection by the Sc
curities and Exchange Act. The
market for corporate securities

SIMMONS STOPS
 STEAMER TODAY, PASSENGER LATE
Also Flies Canneryman and Family to Tenakee
 This Afternoon

A hurried flight to catch the out bound steamer Mount Mckinley off Marmion Island, started off todays flying for Pilot Sheldon Simmons and the Alaska Air Transport Stin- son seaplane today.
 The flight was made at the be- hest of J. P. Smith, U. s. Deputy Marshal at Seward, who dallied too long visiting friends ashore here this morning and sprinted down to the Alaska-Juneau dock just in time to see the ship on which he had come from Seattle, and on which he fully intended to continue on to his post in Seward, just about three jumps for Jesse Owens out in to the Channel.
 Slipping the Patco into the water, Simmons put her into the air at 12:15 o'clock, and after seeing his passenger safely aboard the steam CT, returned about a half-hour later.
 The ice being broken, Simmons took off again at 1.46 o'clock for Tenakee in the Stinson, with MT and Mrs. l.. Asp and their two small sons as passengers for that port, where MT. Asp operates the can nery of the Salt Sea Fisheries. Sim mons was to return to Juneau from Tenakee empty at about 3.30 o. clock, to complete his day in the air. A trip to Sitka and Chichagof is scheduled for Simmons tomorrow morning in the AAT Lockheed Vega leaving here at o'clock.
 Yesterday afternoon at 4:15 O. clock, Simmons took off from here in the AAT Nugget on an hours flight to Hawk Inlet and back with w. S. Pekovich. Pete Miller, R. Blake and Joe O'Brien as outbound passengers.
