Balancing Budget

The Congress evidenly wouldn't nave an objection in the world to balancing the budget, if the job could be done without either levying new taxes or cutting down on spending. Early reception of the Presidents budget recommendations III Congress ought to make it easy for any one to understand why it is such mor- tally hard job to cut down on government spending once you get it started
 MT. Ordinary Congressman, who is III there with a pet bill to spend $100,0oO,- 900 on the deepening, straightening, beau tification, and elimination of roadside ditches, gets up and hammers the tub as soon as that lovely word, economy, IS mentioned. He is all for it, he thinks 1t IS fine But great change comes over nm as soon as someone suggests that hls own $1OO,OO0,000 project must be one oI the things to be dropped.
 This project is different. It is vitally necessary. The country needs 1t. He Will fight like grim death to save it. The $1OO,0 100000 involved can easily be saved by making cuts elsewhere - by digging, for example, into the $2OO,000,O0O which his good friend and colleague, Represen- tative Gerrymander, would spend on the eradication of painters collie.
 Hearing this, Representative Gerry mander = who has been yelling for econ omy with the best of them n utters pitt full moanS and announces that his bill is precisely the one bill which is indls- putably essential. Let it stay on the docket, and save money by wedding the surviving republicans out of the clerical staffs in the government departments.
 Presently, before the outsider knows quite what is happening, these two con- gressmen get together and agree to stand fast for each others bills and to try to make the needed savings elsewhere. Their circle grows, as other congressmen with pet projects join them; and the upshot, as likely as not, is that Congress blandly appropriates half billion more than It appropriated the year before, and boys in the direction of economy by reducing the staffs of half a dozen of the federal bureaus which are actually doing some useful work.
 There is no particular point in review ing all this here, except to remark that the way to cut expenses is-~surprlslngly , enough-to cut expenses. If we are go- ing to balance the budget, lot of pet projects will have to be discarded. The government will have to forego doing various things which probably ought to be done. It will have to withhold money from causes that genuinely need money. If the resoluteless and hardboiledness to do just that sort of thing are not forth coming, we shall not get a balanced budget.

At Last We Know

Through the medium of these editorial columns we have communicated several times in the past our concern over sum of S1, 300, 900 that remains in an old sink ing fund of the state. Last fall the ques- tion of what disposal of this money should be made was brought up. There were suggestions galore There was even to be an official opinion sought by the State Treasurer from the Attorney Gen. eral of Connecticut. This may have been secured, but if so it escaped the detection of this writer in the event that it was made public.
 However, we did learn this week that state officials are planning to utilize the $1 100000 for the building program that is now being timidly contemplated. It will be added to the close to $10,000,00O left over after the states deficit has been retired. Incidentally we also pointed out last week that the amount to be available for building purposes was not as close to $11 100000 as it was to $10,000,000 This was made possible when State Treasurer John s. Addis announced the deficit ot the state as of April, 1887.
 We are glad to know, though, that the sinking fund money will be put to such a good purpose as is planned. We advo- cated that it be used for institutional ex- pansion. There is always satisfaction in knowing that your idea on subject IS shared by those in charge of a certain thing, even if that thing be a somewhat hesitant political subdivision. No better purpose could be found for the money remaining in the sinking fund than where it now will go.
 At the same time We learned of the sinking fund disposal, we also read that not much income could be counted from a tax on cosmetics in this state. Wheth- e. this is based on fact or hearsay, we don't know, but we have heard It ex- pressed several times Perhaps it comes from opponents of cosmetics taxes. Al any rate Senator Matthew A. Daly ot
