WHO PAYS THE BILL?

Thirteen months ago now, according to slide
rule calculations of a government economist the
national debt of the federal government will be in
excess of 43 billion dollars-double what it was
five years ago.
For the fiscal year 1889, beginning July i, next,
congress has authorized the expenditure of 1875 bill
lions six billion of which will be deficit financed
Breaking this vast down, it is found that
during fiscal year 1889, the federal government
will spend $1O27 1897 $50 a month; $34246,575
every day; S1,426,94O each hour; $23,782 every
minute; or 1896 every second!
So what!
Soak the rich you say?
According to the government economist (who
got his figures from Treasury report), only AZ
people out of 13O,OOOO0O in the United States
had incomes of million dollars or more in 1887.
Their aggregate income was 73 million dollars
and if every penny was squeezed from them 1T
would barely meet the government expenditures
for 48 hours. 4 a..

Then, shouldn't it be the duty OF

Loan Gold Sinking Fund Bonds
of 1923, which matured April Is.
Because of German foreign eX-
change restrictions, the bank was
unable to provide dollars IN New
York for payment. So 1t offered
other bonds or blocked reichs-
marks, which can't get outside
Germany.
The New York exchanges COM
mittee on stock and bond listing
gave an opinion to SEC that it
would be in the public interest to
drop the listing of the bonds.
SEC had a hearing at which
no opposition was registered, al
though it subsequently received
a letter from the bank expressing
concern-in German, which re-
quired three days for translation.
SEC is now considering. 1t nearly
always follows the exchanges
recommendation in such cases.

WTASHlNGTON.-M any out
! w standing economists III Wash
] ngton are now beginning to be-
ieve that business has left the
! bottom of the 1878 depression
and is proceeding upward toward
another period Of recovery.
Even some conservative eX-
perts who until recently feared
that any marked early upturn
would be followed by a sharp
drop in business activity during
autumn have now lost their skep-
tcism. And many expect the
wheels of industry 10 be whirling
merrily by January.
Chief difference in confidential
forecasts available is a diversity
of opinion as to the probable rate
of acceleration of the upSWing.
The stock market is something
else again, in the opinion of some
of the cannier government eX-
perts, who believe its recent squirt
was not justified by the relatively
small business pickup and that
stock prices previously had held
up we'll as compared with the
precipitous decline of industrial
production. A sharp market drop
would cause no surprise in Wash
ington.

Labor should have a voice III

culture. So should capital. SO
should industry. SO should every
other factor which goes to make
up this nation. But a trouble at
present is that the Congress and
the state legislatures are liable to
give too much attention and con-

ingly vocal minorities and not
enough attention and cOnsidcra-
ton to the great unorganizcd
dumb general public, whose in

COMMENT BY GENERAL JOHNSON

Gen. Hugh Johnson, purveyOr Of pictur-
esque language relating to politics and
public affairs, likens President Roosevelts
trip TO circus with the addition Of sew
eral sideShows not directly connected with
the performance in the big tent. More &C
curately, perhaps, as these are not Operat-
ing with the presidential party, they might
be called small shows operating under the
same management as the main outfit.
In this connection the General speaks of
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma as a hand
some grandfather's clock without works.
No more fitting description of the Okla
homa Senator has been offered.
The General also characterizes Presi-
dent Roosevelt's present excursion as a
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde performance.
That idea may not be original with the
General, as it was first suggested to this
newspaper by a citizen of Hendersonville.
AT any rate, Mr.. Roosevelt, by his own
announcement, is two men-the President
and the head of his party. As the head OF
the party he is out playing politics ON
belonging to the several States, and raising
Cain generally in a manner which would
certainly be out of place, unseemly, II not
highly offensive, in the President of the
United States.
By attempting to draw the line between
himself as the President and as the party
head, Roosevelt practically admits the
Jekyll-Hyde role-ip fact, was the first
man in the country to direct attention to
it. AS we understand the matter at this
time, Party Leader Roosevelt is making a
trip through the nation. The whereabouts
of President Roosevelt remain obscure.
General Johnson calls the Roosevelt in
vestigation Of the South hokum and bally-
hoo. Paul Mallon says the Dixie investi-
CATION will be conducted by hand-picked
the new deal Having branded the South
as a land of feudalism and made other
uncomplimentary references to this section,
we are surprised to learn that Roosevelt
considers it worth while to spend time and
effort in trying to civilize and uplift our
people.
However, the fact should not be over
looked that the spending will be of the
contents of the U. S. treasury and, no
doubt, all of the uplifters will be gener-
ously paid for their services at the expense
of the country's tax payers.
From the standpoint of new dealer
that closes the argument If any project
can be made a spending project under
government supervision, it is o. K. ....s
