phasis quite naturally is being
placed now on the problem of per-
sonnel and on the question of equit-
able distribution of the burden.
The suggestion that States with
low per capita income be given
larger share of Federal aid than
States with the average or better
than average per capita income is
one which is likely to be vigorously
debated in Congress, but, broadly
speaking, that's what the Federal
Government has been doing with all
tax moneys; indeed, there has been
no yardstick of measurement for
Federal grant. The discretionary
power of the Federal agencies to
spend public funds in accordance
with political or group pressure has
been unrestrained. Some formula to
measure Federal grants to States on
the basis of population and State
income is at least a start toward a
more scientific or uniform formula
Of Federal disbursement of moneys
collected from the taxpayers.

istrative reform, there is developed

restored" said Senator Byrd in his
latest communication to Mr.. Eccles,
mot by financial manipulations on
the part of the Government, but by
restoring confidence on the part of
the business community in the fair
ness of the Government, by elimi-
mating needless frictions and re-
straints and by freeing the enter
prise of a great people, who want
jobs, not charity; work, not taxes"
Senator Byrd commented that for
$50 years there was pretty good
business in the United States-With
occasional interruptions-before the
era of deficits-Government deficits
began in 1881. He said to Mr..
Eccles: Mine years of deficits, very
largely financed by bank credit,
should shake even your confidence
in the value of deficits as financial
magic in making business pros
perity."
The Virginia Senator asked sew
eral pertinent questions regarding
the situation in England and the
situation in the United States. In
England the governmental budget is
balanced, and there is S4OO 900 900
to the good; in the United States
the budget is anything but balanced,
and we have gone $40 400 900 900
further In the hole. England's ma
tional income in 1887 was 1l8 per
cent Of her income in 1929, and If
this country enjoyed the same rela-
tive degree of prosperity as Eng
land. our national income would be
s88 900 900 900, instead of s6O,OOO.-
0O0,O 900. Senator Byrd said en-
phatically that England had not
tried to borrow and spend herself
out Of the depression, did not pile
deficit on deficit. did not swell her
relief rolls, did not harry and
frighten business" did not revive
the depression, but did revive pros
perity.
More Funds to Be Asked.
The Congress has nine billion
dollar budget estimate, submitted
by the President, to work on, a bud
get that would result in a 1926.
100000 deficit if the estimates of the
Government experts are correct. No
one believes that three and one
third billion dollars can be stripped
from these proposed Government
expenditures, and the budget
brought into balance. Furthermore.
the President will ask Congress for
still greater sums before the session
is we'll along. The probabilities
are that the President will have a
tough time getting appropriations
for new Government projects, no
matter how worthy they may ap-
pear. There is a growing sentiment
in Congress that new projects are
"out" until the budget can be
brought into some semblance of
balance.
The opposition to continued huge
Government spending is also found
In Democratic quarters far removed
from Washington. Take Nebraska,
for example. Gov. r. L. Cochran,
Democrat, who was reelected last
November. speaking at a Jackson
Day banquet in far off Los Angeles,
attacked Government spending Wig

watchful eye to the spending of

Let us cut the cloth of our adminis-
tration to f1t-cut it to what we can
pay for. In lean years, when our

this country should really be threat
ened with war.
The spenders have had their in

or since shortly after the Presidents
economy act" was discarded as a
pattern for the administration.
When Congress met a couple of
weeks ago, the President, went before
it and declared his intention of con-
tinuing heavy governmental expen-
ditures as a means of bringing back
prosperity-t"pump printing" is the
usual term applied. Indeed, he
challenged Congress to make ma
terial cuts in estimated expenditures
and said in effect that they could
not be made.
The Congress, however, seems In
the way of making beginning.
One hundred and fifty million dol
lars is between one-f1fth and one
sixth part of the huge sum asked
for the continuance Of the w. P. A.
for the remainder Of the present
fiscal year. That is quite a slice to
cut of. Also. the action on the
part OF the House constituted the
first reduction ever made, during
the Roosevelt administration, by
house Of Congress IN requested
appropriation for relief.
Senate May Cut More.
There are plenty of signs that the
Senate will back the House in the
reduction Of this sum asked by the
President-and it is entirely prob
able that efforts to further reduce
the total will be made.
For several years the opponents
OF huge spending-and huge deficits
and constantly increasing public debt
made no progress whatever. They
were overridden by the administra-
ton forces, squashed fiat as pan
cakes when the demands came from
the White House for billions of dol
lars for every conceivable purpose.
Senator Henry Flood Byrd Of Vir-
ginia, Democrat. was one Of the COM
paratively few who raised voices In
denunciation of the spending pro-
grams Of the administration. He
is hard at it today, and his sympa-
thizers have grown in number At
the present moment Senator Byrd
and Mariner S. Eccles, chairman of
the Board of Governors Of the Fed
eral Reserve System. are engaged in
brisk controversy over the spend
ing and lending program, with
Eccles backing the Presidents
theory.
Senator Byrd does not believe that
government, any more than an
individual citizen, should continu-
ally spend more than it receives.
He believes that in the end the
government which piles deficit upon
deficit will sink its citizens, either
through greatly increased taxes or
through reputation of debts and
imitation. The Virginia Senator
certainly has many precedents to
prove his contention-while no one
has been able to discover a govern
ment that borrowed and spent over
a long period of years and brought
its people to prosperity.
Goes Beyond Criticism.
Senator Byrd does not limit his
recommendations to a Tightening of
the national belt and economy. He
made very definite suggestion that
would 60 far to restore prosperity,
provided the administration would
agree.

structure, but actually to provide
incentives for increasing production
and business volume, there would be
less concern about some of the ad-
ditions to those parts Of the social

be recognized as essential for the

ployed.

Just now being offered, but anything
70 unwieldy as the Federal Govern
ment structure is not readily trans
formed. Thus, the Presidents ex-
ecutive order creating a Federal
Real Estate Board to make COM
prehensive record of just what
property the Federal Government
holds and its relationship to taxa
don problems in local communi-
ties has long been needed, but it is
only one of number of things
that get sidetracked in an era of
social reform.
Take the social security message
Of the President, which now en-
bodies the suggestion of non-par-
tisan board which has been studying
the laws operations for several
months with experts thoroughly
familiar with the subject. The
suggested changes, such as the
insistance on merit system among
the States which administer the
law, might seem to be A-B-C and
fundamental, but it was not one of
the needs foreseen when the act
was passed.
The drive at the time the social
security law was passed was to get
the big insurance plan into opera
ton and trust to experience to point
out defects and additions. There
can be no doubt that. once the
Federal Government embarks on
system of old age pensions and un-
employment insurance involving
some 100000 individuals thus far,
the pressure to include other groups
hitherto exempted would sooner or
later be felt.
Paternalism Goes On.
It IS curious commentary on
present-day affairs in Washington
that, while spending" is decried,
the plans for increasing the Federal
Governments paternalism go on
apace. and no political group is
strong enough to call halt. The
Presidents message asks for lib
eralizing of old age insurance pay
ments, especially in the early years
Of the system, and the paying of
supplementary benefits to the aged
dependent wives of retired workers.
All this and other recommendations
will increase the total expense,
which is to be met by higher and
higher payroll taxes.
Yet the Republican party, which
was given larger membership in
the House and Senate at the last
elections, presumably because of the
of
spending" contains a large num-
ber of members who have pledged
themselves to work for higher and
higher pension payments.
Recognition of the. problem of
old-age pensions and unemployment
insurance has been ingrained in the
platforms Of both major parties,
and the payroll taxes are here to
stay. The economic effect, or rather
the impact of such taxes on the
whole economic system, being re-
fected in higher and higher produc-
ton costs and in a withdrawal of
considerable sums from the stream
OF purchasing power, cannot but be
of increasing significance. The Con-
gress is nevertheless prepared to 60
along with the amendments to the
social security law because President
Roosevelt has made it unpopular
politically to do otherwise.
Emphasis on New Problems.
These realities are being faced by
Congress, but the trend is to make
sure that whatever sums are dis
tributed go to the persons who are
deserving and that efficiency of ad-
ministration is attained. So the en-
