tonight when it meets at ' o'clock to complete work on the budget for the new fiscal year. This is also ex- pected to be an informal session, but it is believed some agreement on the budget will be reached tonight.
 Formal approval is expected Sat- urday at meeting at 1:30 D. m. which, 1t is hoped, will be short and sweet. Wednesday nights budget discussion was harmonious but it is possible republican burgesses will start to kick tonoght when the talk again gets around to the proposed 1000 slice in the education depart ment budget.
 It is probable that details of the public works budget will be dis cussed at the start of tonight's ses- sion, this not having been reached at the Wednesday meeting. Some democrats cannot understand just why the education budget should apparently be the "honey child" of the republican burgesses, but the latter point out that if a cut is made in that department, the school board can go ahead and authorize expenditures which might produce deficit, but other departments can be held down in expenditures by the warden and borough board.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE PRESIDENTS QUESTION

President Roosevelt told Montana audience on
Sunday of New York publisher who urged him
to cut the governments expenditures, but who
"hemmed and hawed" and then "hemmed and
hawed some more" when the President asked him.
Just where would you cut expenses" The pub
Usher seems to have made pretty sorry mess of
his answer 70 this question, but he need not have
done So For he might, with good grace have made
precisely the same answer that Mr.. Roosevelt HIM
self made when ne promised in 1882 to reduce the
Hoover budget by % per cent and Mr. Hoover
asked him. Just where would you cut expenses
The answer that Mr.. Roosevelt gave in 1892
went straight to the heart of the matter then and
still goes straight to the heart of the matter now
1t is futile, said Mn. Roosevelt in 1882, to expect
ANY important economy" from an administration
Committed to the idea that we ought to center
control of everything in Washington as rapidly as
possible" For Capitalization of control necessarily
involves the creation of "the unprecedented bu-
reaucracy that has assembled in Washington in the
past four years" 1t involves the. establishment Of
the innumerablc boards and commissions which
have grown up a. cxcrcseenees on the regular Sys-
tenn" And it involves when it reaches the proper
tons of the Hoover budget of l932-which
about three billion dollars smaller than the Roose
welt budget of l937-an increase of federal eX-
penditurcs at 1.-THE most reckless and eXtravagant
pace have ever been able to discover in the sta
tistical record Of any pcacctime government any
where, any time
So the publisher who was stumped for an answer
to the Presidents question might have replied as
the President himself replied in 1882: 'Iou can
not 90 very far with any real federal economy
without complete change of concept of what are
the proper functions and limits of the federal gov
eminent itself" You have got to stop the central
izing first, and then you can stop the spending.
Ever since the days Of Thomas Jefferson said
Mr.. Roosevelt in 1882. the idea of "centraliZng
control Of everything" in Washington had been
1.-The exact reverse Of the Democratic concept"
And lin the latter philosophy" he would approach
the problem of the budget. 1t is now the only
philosophy that can bring the budget into balance
regularly, instead of merely and then, at the
peak years of the business cycle. The New York

PAGE GOVERNOR TALMADGE

(Rv DR.. Thornwcll Jacobs, President OgIethorpe
University, Atlanta, Ga)
It is an old saying that "thc power to tax is the
power to destroy" and this applies to the midi
vidual firm and corporation not only, but also to
the nation as Il whole. The sureSt and quickest
way to destroy nation is by super-taXation. The
only way in which to win the consent of people
to excessive taxation is by giving the people them
selves the tax money.
The only way to break down the emergency came
in 1888 It was really not a great emergency, but
to a generation unfamiliar with the years which
followed the Revolution and the War Between the
States it seemed great.
In the midst of this emergency the doctrine
which makes it the duty of the government to sup
port its citizens, was promulgated Previous orgies
of extravaganza by municipalities and states had
been SO frequent that the federal government was
the only taxing agency in the United States with
any credit left The mad rush of the Predatory
poor and the Shrcwd-witted rich to raid the treas
ury has proceeded now for about four years.
Nothing on earth can stop the stampede for loot
except one thing. When the money gives out, the
pipes will run dry.
There are some among those in position to know
in Washington who say that the money has just
about given out. \ few more billions can be Dor
rowed and wasted, but in the end the credit OF the
United States government itself will be broken.
The thing cannot last forever. The limitations
of excessive taxation has been reached. The bud
get remains unbalanced Every time the suggestion
of balancing it is made, the hungry hordes demand
increased taxation and increased appropriations
and increased government activities All the other
one hundred and Seventy-ive thousand taxing agen-
cies of the United States have followed suit the
time is now rapidly approaching when another
panic and depression are in order.
There is but one way to save this country from
vast injury. 1t is very simple, but very hard and
very necessary 1t is this: Balance the budget, re-
duce taxation They must all three be done at the
same time. They can be done. They should be
done. They must be done!

how, page Talmadge-Southern Farmer

THE BIG APPLE

This has to do with the seasons crop and not the
seasons crazy dance fad.
And it is mainly the remark that if an apple
people will go about consuming the present crop
on that schedule, the medical profession may as
well shut up shop and try its hand at golf for the
next several months.
The enormity of the crop is even surprising
previous estimates that it would be the most pro
life record.
Those who travel about and ramble through the
appe-growing areas of the country come back to
report that the luscious fruit is breaking down the
trees that are trying to hold their burden until the
harvest is finished.
And those motoring along the highways, no mat
ter where, find the roads cluttered with trucks la
den with the crop seeking markets far and near
for the producers who face winter of low-prce
discomfort
It's a noble opportunity thus being offered to the
American people to apple themselves up to the
point of gorge this season.
So far as anybody now seems to know, the pro-
ducers are going to unload let the markets take
care of themselves.
This should mean that an abundance of apples
will be available at prices readable, by those
of the lower income brackets-that is, unless the
government figures it is missing bet by not hop
subsidy to keep the consumers from getting their
apples at reasonable to cheap prices.-Charlotte
Observer.
