the Democrats of the county had
only one man to consider Tor

pending institution of a perma-
nent program.
5. Chairman Edward T. Taylor,
D., Colo, announced that an APP
propria tons subcommittee would
begin work Wednesday on an ON
nibus bill embracing that part of
the presidents program which
calls for expenditures of S2,062,-
100000 for recovery and relief.
4. President Roosevelt, cheered
by the nations reaction to his new
drive as outlined in fireside chat
Thursday night. said at his press
conference that he would send two
more special messages to congress
soon asking for tax and monopoly
reforms. He did not disclose
whether he would seek action on
this legislation at this session.
President Roosevelt forecast the
action taken by the SEC and by
the Federal Reserve board which
reversed a policy initiated on Aug.
1886, when it increased re-
serve requirements so per cent to
prevent a runaway credit boom.
At that time the excess reserves
totaled only S3,000,000.000. The
ultimate total of 1882, 100000
under the recovery program will
serve as a basis for record
breaking potential credit expan-
sion of S39.0O0,00O,00O.
The boards maneuver is purely
psychological. Funds totaling ST.
732, 100000 were available to bor-
rowers before yesterdays action.
The. theory is that the govern
ment's spending program will
stimulate business and encourage
borrowing by industry. -.
The "big push" in congress will
get formally underway on We'd
nesday when WPA Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins will be ques-
toned by the appropriations sub
committee. Taylor hopes to be
able to bring bill to the floor on
May /, embracing all of the presi-
dents program.
One of the presidents recon-
mendations was disposed of Fri
day when the senate appropria-
tions committee approved an ad-
ditional grant of ISL, 100000 for
