A Budget Principle
(New York Times)

i
 The Presidents letter to the chairman of the House and Senate Agricultural Committees laid down an admirable budget principle
 Tt is of course especially important" [the Presi dent wrotel that any legislation should not un- balance the expected balancing of the budget. In other words, no additional Federal expenditures from the general fund of the Treasury should be made over and above existing planned expenditures.
 The only exception to this would be the mourning of additional obligations on the part of the Treasury backed 100 percent by additional receipts from new
 Tn other words, whatever goes out must be ball. anced by an equivalent amount in"
 It is of the first importance especially at the present juncture, tkat this principle be maintained. To vote for subsidies to special groups, without at the same time voting for the taxes to pay them, is the politicians paradise It ngratiates him with the recipients of his favors without arousing the groups who are ultimately going to be asked to pay for his generosity. The process is psychologically and poi- tically demoralizng. The money that Congress is appropriating, when it does not have to vote the taxes for it. does not like real money to it. It is a sort of stage money. The only way to make 1t real is to force Congress to vote for tax bill that would raise the funds called for In that way, not merely the voters who getting the benefits of those funds, but the voters who being asked to supply them will know about it. The fact that the Government has nothing to give to one citizen that it does not take from another will then be realized wildly and constantly.
 But if this principle is to be effective at all it must be applied completely, not partially If the President insists complete budget balance, Ii he insists that every dollar of Congressional expenditure must be matched by dollar of revenue, he will be logically financially and politically in an mpreg- nable position. But if he allows prospective deficit of say s7OO OO0 GOO exist and merely insists that no additional appropriations be made without addi- tona to match them, his argument will be very greatly weakened Congressmen will reply that as the Government is already spending more than 1t IS taking n it would constitute discrimination against the farmer" to insist that any money now voted to subsdize him must be exactly balanced by taxes. The Presidents vitally important principle, if he IS to get it respected must be applied to fully balanced budget
 Some of the other recommendations in the Presi- dents letter we cannot endorse A governmental "ever-normal granary" is quite unnecessary; it would in practice probably prove to be an ever-poitca granary costly to taxpayers and consumers alike. The attempt avoid repetition of the losses of the Federal Farm Board by control of farm surpluses' again merely means that the Government would pro- ec itself from speculative losses in by creating artificial shortages at the expense of our own con- sumers But the soundness of the fiscal principle laid down by the President in his letter is beyond question.

Horoscope ''The stars incline
 but do not compel"

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, '37
 Astrologers read this as an un- important day in planetary direc- tion, time to pursue beaten paths and to avoid all risks.
 Much ill feeling may be directed toward governmental policies and financial obligations will be widely discussed
 Under this rule of the stars both lmen and women may be inclined | to deceive themselves and to over estimate their own achievements Egotism may be even more general than usual, especially among the young.
 Wall Street will center world at tention, it is foretold, as it encour- ages a boom that attracts specu- lators. Wheat, rubber and other staples will tempt stock buyers. | Persistently the seers prognosti- cate the formation of great busi- ness organizations which are inter national in scope. England and the United States will cooperate, it is foretold.
 Agitation regarding the postal ser vice may involve sensational charg- es against conditions in certain cities.
 There is sign read as encourag- ing dictatorial policies in England and the United States. A new British leader is visioned by astrol- ogers.
 Girls may look forward to so- cial season of extraordinary bril- lliance. Some will have opportuni- ties to marry distinguished for eigners.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of much work and many difficult problems that may be solved successfully.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be daring and original in their ideas. Subjects of this sign may be philanthropic; many are ex- tremely religious.
 Martin Luther, German reformer, was born on this day 1483. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Dr. Henry Van Dyke, author and clergyman, 1882; Dun can Forbes, Scottish patriot, 1885; Johann Friedrich von Schiller, Ger man poet and dramatist. 1789.

UP TO THE TAXPAYERS

The Juneau swimming pool project is back In the lap of the City Council right where started months ago, and, to our way of thinking right where it should be-
 A public forum held in the Elks hall last night at which the Permanent Swimming Pool Committee was strongly represented went record unanimously in favor of going back to the City Council with the pro- posal that the Council take the management and perhaps operate the swimming pool in conjunction with the schools Technically, take it. the action of the public forum doesn't necessarily bind the Per manent Swimming Pool Committee but certainly the forum a strong sentiment of this community and probably the committee will be guided
 As J. A. Helenthal, pioneer local attorney, pointed out forcefuy and effectively last night at the forum the swimming pool is community project and if it is to be of value to the community a permanent part of activities it must be under community management which will it's perpetuation. MT. Helenthals suggestion that it be operated in con- junction with the school system is the meat in the coconut.
 As we pointed out in these columns before the swimming part of the regular school courses and it should be in every high school It should be in Juneau High School with facilities extended to the grade school.
 But perhaps the same end can be attained as has been suggested, by municipal management with pool operation in conjunction with the schools. At any rate, it is responsible and perpetuatng management which is primarily important and that can be at tained only by, making the swimming pool public community venture under control of municipal agency such the City Council the School Board.
 That is not to imply that private management is necessarily irresponsible but private management would be constantly up against the proposition of keeping up interest and for operation and that would be big order in community of this size. The response to the questonnaire campaign recently conducted by the Permanent Swimming Pool Com mittee would indicate that it is than be expected from Juneau.
 But municipal management immediately makes the project responsibility of this community which must be kept up, if undertaken, just the library, fire department schools and other agencies of our municipal government In other words, it would fall to the lot of the taxpayers to support the swimming pool just they support the Police Department to maintain law and order and the other departments of city government Thus it is up to the taxpayers of this community whether they want swimming pool. special election proposition next springs ballot appears to be the only answer.
 Judging from the amount of sentiment regarding a pool, it would seem that the Council would be jus tfied in going to the taxpayers for approval jecton.
