WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt today warned
administration leaders that con-
gress must hold new farm lcgisln-
ton within budgctary bounds or
be prepared TO levy new taxes.
The president made the state
mcnt in duplicate letters to Chair
man Ellison Smith d., S. c. of
the senate agriculture committee
and Chairman Jones of the house
agriculture committee. who are
drafting proposed legislation which
will come before the special ses-
sion Of congress.
The president said legislation
should be designed for price sta
bilization thorugh an ever normal
granary supply and the protection
Of both consumers and the farmer
against undue price fluctuations.
Roosevelt, facing a demand for
federal corn loans that threatens
to throw this years budget even
further out Of line than antici-
pated, said definitely yesterday
that government income and cX-
penses will balance in the 1885
80 fiscal period.
Immediately after ssuring
newspaper correspondents that the
current year is the last Of opera
ton "in the red" Mr.. Roosevelt
conferred at length with Secrc-
tary of the Treasury Morgcnthau,
Jr., Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace. and Budget Director Bell.
The president left for Hyde
Park this afternoon with the prob
lem Of how to finance the expen-
sive farm aid program unsolved.
He took with him recommends
tons from Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace and farm Drganiza-
tons, for corn crop loans.
When Mr.. Roosevelt announced
revised budget figures last Mon
day night, indicating a deficit Of
$685., 900, 900 for the year ending
June 80, 1888, he made no allow
ance for loans on corn. He did
list an item of Sl30,000,000 for
cotton loans-an item which was
partly responsible for an increased
deficit in fiscal year which prom
ised last January to end with a
"layman's balance" Of income and
outgo.
Without additional taxes, it APP
peared that the deficit will be fur
Their increased if money has to be
provided for corn loans. Farm or
CARNATIONS have asked for 80
cent loan per bushel; Wallace has
suggested 46 cents.
