WHAT IS THE
BUDGET ISSUE?
wall Street JournaD

wall Street JournaD
Another budget message is being pre-
pared. A few weeks hence the effective
budget itself, consisting of appropria-
tions. will be in the making. Already
various and sundry are screaming at the
President and congress, in Heavens
name, don't plunge the country into an
mother depression by trying to balance
the budget"
All this is fOolishness and worse. 1t
confuses the public and. no doubt, the
congressional mind, as to just what is
at issue in framing the appropriation
bills for the coming fiscal year.
What is the issue? Not whether the
budget is to reach a balance between
income and outgo by June 80, 1910, but
whether or not the country is reSOutely
to turn its steps in the direction of safe
and honest financial management. Not
how much the treasury must spend to
avert industrial recession but whether
members of congress are to continue to
delude themselves and their constituents
in the belief that the road to prosperity
can be paved with government bonds.
Since December 81, 1890, the national
debt has been increased by S23 100000
600 and now stands at roundly S39,500.-
100000. not counting several billions of
contingent liabilities In eight years we
have multiplied the obligations of def
cit treasury by 2 1-2 without providing
real jobs for eight or nine million per-
sons capable of earning a living and
without discovering how to do that by
spending borrowed money.
We should know a few things by this
time, among them these: CD That gov
ernment borrowing to spend cannot ere
ate purchasing power but only transfers
it from one to another group of citizens;
(2) that in private hands great portion
of the national income is applied to eX-
panding the facilities of production, but
only negligible part of government
expenditure, if any, is reproductive; CD
that only greater output of the necessi-
ties and comforts of existence can raise
the living conditions of the people, en-
ployed or unemployed.
The issue in budget-making is the
question whether or not the government
chooses a necessarily slow return to fis-
cal sanity or prefers to go on planting
the seeds of more and deeper depres

Bruce Cation Says
America Gets Ready To Take Big Job

inp in the last half dozen years
will presently cease to bother us.
People do not surrender their
liberties or overthrow their institu-
tions when times are good. They
do it only under dire pressure oi
want. Remove the pressure, and
the danger automatically vanishcs.
And an America that is truly pros
porous again will be able to forget
its worries about the isms of the
Right and the Left alike.
These are the things involved lii
this story of returning prosperity.
1t is hard to see them in the dry
figures about freight car loadines,
retail sales, steel production and
The like, but they are there lust
the same. The nation has ire
mendous job to do, and it is get
ting back into shape to do it, IN
the long run, that may prove the
most important fact in the history
of this generation.

LET'S HAVE ACTION!
(Tulare Acknowledgment

Governor Olson'S announced determi-
nation to return to Washington in Febru-
airy to lead a fight for federal funds
to help California provide for its mi
grant population gives hope that 1889
will bring a solution, if not an end, to a
long-standing and grievous problem. AS
the mecca of the disinherited, California
has in recent years been unjustly bur-
dened with a load she had neither the
duty, nor the ability to tolerate. Though
other states should have acknowledged
a measure of responsibility in caring
for this states great standing army of
migrant labor, they have refused. Var
ious government agencies have on sew
efal occasions in recent months pointed
out that the migrant workers, some
275,000 strong, are in California to stay
and cannot be returned to their native
state. Since the state cannot pay the
enormous costs of housing, schooling,
and providing medical care for these
families and their children, the federal
government must do SO, and do so
promptly! California earnestly hopes
Governor Olson's active intervention at
Washington will arouse officials to this
imperative need

SAVINGS SERVICE
BY TELEGRAPH
FOR CALIFORNlANS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3ESafety
and high return on savings placed
with California Federal Savings q
Lean Association, an instrumental
ity of the Federal Government, has
been made available to all residents
of Southern California through n
new service just inaugurated.
The new plan provides that any
one may transmit his savings by
telegraph to the California Federal
Savings & Loan Association In Los
Angeles without cost to him AS a
result it is no longer necessary to
make a special trip to Los Angeles
to open a savings account.
"a and Insured Safety
Widespread public demand Tor
additional convenience in making
available this type Of savings &c
count-Where each persons funds
are earning at the current rate OF
"a while being insured up to
$4,000 by an inStrumentallty OF the
Federal Government - has resulted
in he establishment of this new
service.
Widely Acclaimed
Recognized as being the safest
and most convenient method of
opening new savings accounts at
this Government supervised nsti-
tuition, Mr.. j. Howard Edgerton
executive vice president declared
1T has long been a problem how
our association could serve invest
Ors all over Southern California
Through the use of the telegraph
money order the problem is solved

out any deduction for the money
order charge We advise all per-
sons to open their account before

GOVERNOR OLSON'S
INAUGURAL ADDRESS

It would take Republican with an
1S-inch spyglass to find anything radi-
cally wrong with Governor OlSon's inaug-
ural address.
CALIFORNIA; first Democratic governor
in Al years outlined a program that
could bring no harm, and should bring
many benefits to the state if it is carried
through. AS long as he sticks to the
program depicted in his inaugural ad-
dress, he should have the whole-hearted
support of all but the most partisan of
Californians.
It is not pleasant naturally, that the
state is faced with increased relief costs
which will increase taxes. 1t is, however
the natural result of immigration of
thousands of dust bowl refugees and
other penniless groups seeking Utopia
in California. They are Just now becOm-
ing eligible for relief.
If Olson reduces other governmental
costs by consolation and elimination of
needless state bureaus, as he says he
will, the state will owe him much. Politi-
clans will suffer, but for the good of the
people it might be a good thing to let
them suffer for once. Everybody else
has been doing it right along.
Nor can we find anything objection
able in the new governors announced
intention of replacing the cash dole with
work relief AS long as the state must
provide relief, we believe the state should
receive something in return. If able
bodied people are to receive relief, they
should work for it.
Especially welcome is Governor Olson's
declaration that honest business will
have nothing to fear from the state
administration. Most of US are heartily
in sympathy with his warning that any
and all efforts i'm the name of business
to defeat the general welfare will be
punished. No legitimate business man
likes to see business as a whole given
black eye because of the operation OF
some dishonest shyster.
We only hope the state administration
does not fall into the habit that has be-
come so common with the national ad-
ministration-tha of labelling all busi-
ness dishonest simply because it is en-
gagged in making profit. A profit is
merely the wages paid to capital, just
as his weekly check is the working mans
wage.
Most Caifornians will agree too,
when the governor declares his belief
that old-age pensions must be the con-
Germ of the federal government. This
declaration Obviates the danger of a
high pension in California as another
incentive to aged and INDECENT to come
here solely in the hope of living at pub
lie expense A uniform federal pension
throughout the nation would make no
state more attractive then another in
this respect.
In Imperial Valley and other agricul-
tural regions particularly, residents will
greet with enthusiasm the governors
promise to develop markets and mar
keting methods which will bring the
products of the soil to the consumer
with the least possible toll to intermed-
iary agencies
Yes = Governor Olson's inaugural
speech VISA good. We hope it is true
forecast of his administration.

Here IS an interesting quotation
from Walter Dmanty's book en-
titled L Write As I Please and
which ! thought might help some
Ct the reader CT this column Who
have written to me Of their ambi-
lion to write:
One night N Paris, Walter Dur
ranty and William Bolitho sat
chatting about writing and the
newspaper game Bolitho suggest
ed that Duranty write q book. ANY
book" he said. provided that II
is YOUR rook, the book that
comes out Of YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
and it is not something that you
are writing as you think you ought
to write or as someone else wants
you to write The only books which
matter must be written with con-
Viction and must be true to the
people vino write them. however TN
true their truth may be. Look at
Elinor Glyn, for instance, and Har-
old Bell Wright, and the Hull Wo-
man who wrote a piece about an
Arab sheik, and the Scarlet Pimp-
ecnal and all the tripe about the
Foreign Legion, from Ouida up
wards and dOWnWardS The reason
this stuff gets across is that it's
true TO the people who write it
that is the basic principle g.
Don't write what they want to
write; write what YOU want TO
write, Us YOU want to write IT,

CONGRESS LOOKS
TOWARD 1910

By the time this is printed, the United
States congress will be in session.
We have warned before, and we re-
peat the warming that this congress will
be about half worthwhile action and half
political bombast. The election campaign
of 1910 is just around the corner, and
neither congress nor the administration
is going to forget it.

a dependent clause starts to mss

put N a period.

Just one more thought: keep TO

Ii is altogether too easy to forget
what that may involve. The one
great tact about this era in history
is not the Aar peril, the rise Of

that the human race at last has 1t

That has never been possible
before. Until now, poverty was in
truth inevitable, and hunger ana
want were the destined lot of

enough of everything to go around,

of making the DEFICIENCIES good.

Famous Sayings

Looking at industrial and busi-

day. we are apt to get into the
position of the chap who couldn't
see the forest because there were
TOO many trees i'll his way.
These figures trace the outlines
Of something big-but we're so
close to them, we see SO many OF
they and they are such dry and
meXcitlng things anyhow that it's
easy to miss the point.
But what is really going on is
worth looking at, if we could only
see it under all the statistics. Am
erica is coming out of its long
coma. IN one way and another
maybe by luck as much as any
tning-it is on the road back to
good times again, and that is as
significant a fact as any in the
world today.
For it means, first of all, that

SENECA Will Adjourn
For Rest of Summer

In a bulletin to the Tribune
Herald from E. B. Winter, Sec
rotary of the Southeastern Mon
tana Counties Association it was
stated that there will be no
further meetings of the asso-
citation until September 20.
In the meantime, any member
or director or anyone who has
anything of Importance that
they believe the association
should act upon, may write
Secretary Winters at Miles City
and it will be handled through
the executive board. In the ev-
ent the board feels that a meet
ing is necessary they will give
the proper notice and a special
meeting will be called, it was
stated.
The action for summer adj
journment was taken after due
elaboration by the members,
but as President L. j. OnStad
of Broadus is indisposed and
many of the directors are on
their vacations, and the major
portion of the proposed projects
under way, it was thought that
nothing was being lost by this
action,
