States Take Heed and
Start Cutting Expenses

Due largely, the senator thought,
to the fact that England had tried
to live within it's income as an in
dividual would do, that nation had
a national income in 1897 that was
118 percent Of its income in 1929.
Which Is to say that it was more
prosperous than In 1929. Senator
Byrd pointed out that this had hap
pened while our government was
running from a billion or so to five
or six billions into debt each year.
He suggested, moreover, that II the
country's national income would
now be $50, 0O0, 000, 900 instead Of the
100000, coo, 600 which was estimated
for 1888. The thought was then adj
vanced that England had not tried
to harry and brighten business
which was employing people who
wanted work, not charity.
There are other things happening
besides the Byrd attacks and the
congressional action on relief appro-
priations to indicate the growing
strength Of those who believe spend
ing borrowed money has been, and
Is, unwise. Word has come through
to Washington Of the action Of sew
eral governors who are insisting
that their states avoid getting into
the hole. Governor Cochran Of Me-
braska, a Democrat, and Governor
Bricker Of Ohio, Republican, each
has put their respective state legis-
latures on notice that expenditures
are to be pared to the bone. There
are others who could be named. but

Pump Printing Gifts to
States Force Them to Borrow

0SOVCS COICc xuc" 70 0OIIOW
Further, nearly all Of the federal
appropriations for pump printing
when granted to states or lesser
Jurisdictions, are offered on condi-
ton that the state, OF city or county,
must put up an equal amount. In
hundreds of cases in the last six
years, this policy has resulted in
states or lesser subdiviions of gov
eminent being forced to borrow on
its own bonds In order to get hold
of the federal cash. The result:
new debt. It becomes clear, there
fore, that If the state executives in
sist on reduced expenditures, they
are unlikely to accept these federal
gifts because Of the probable added
debt burden.
Another thing likely to happen in
some Of the states is added taxes.
The state legislatures are due for
an awakening as to the actual con-
dition of their state finances Some
may dodge it this year, but facts
will have to be faced. When new
taxes come, what howl there will
be. That howl will be heard in con-
gress, too, both concerning state and
county and city taxes on the one
hand and national taxes on the 9TH
er hand. It appears to me that
taxes will prove to be the best anti
dote for the poison Of borrowing to
spend that can be found.

wASHINGTON.-It always has
heen nv conviction that the Ameri-
can people will find sound answer
IN every national problem, if they
are given the facts and the time to
figure out what those facts mean
They may be swayed temporarily;
they may be led or herded or threat
ened and these conditions may put
them in a wrong spot temporarily,
hut repeat that If they are given
time. the national conclusion, the
collective thinking, will be along
sound lines. -
They are demonstrating these
things as fact, again. There is
10 doubt about it. For five or six
vars, q considerable majority Of
the nations citizenry was following
tie theory of spending ourselves out
OF the depression. It was an UNI
sound course, obviously, but money
vas made to do a lot of talking
Honey In billions of dollars will
talk. Lately, however, hardy Amer
Ian thinking has been carrying the
majority back to normal under
sanding, and the influence of
spending by the federal government
is sagging, distinctly. r.
Notwithstanding the statements,
frequently heard from Republican
cources, that "you can't beat Santa
Claus" or the variation that "you
can't beat $4,000, 00O, 0OO," there is
plenty Of evidence to show that
there Is quite a definite determine
ton to quit that sort Of thing. That
Is, there Is q determination in most
places outside of the so-called In
ner circle Of New Dealers. Espec-
tally is this true in the halls of con-
gress where, unless there is an
earthquake, many important steps
viii be taken by senators and rep
resentatives In the direction of
sounder government finance. The
old and familiar American traits Of
initiative, Of saying, Of living within
ones income, are coming to the sur
face very rapidly and the restora-
ton Of these ratss to places Of re-
spectability in American life Is be-
ing reflected on capitol hill In
Washington.

Opposition to Philosophy
OF Spending Freaks LOOae

It will be recalled how the oppo-
nents Of President Roosevelt's phi
losophy Of spending showed their
mettle in the house Of representa-
tives when that body voted to cut
$l50000,000 off Of the deficiency re-
lief appropriation. Mr.. Roosevelt
asked for $875, 100000. The cut was
accomplished despite some hair
raising stories from official sources
IN the administration that elimina-
ton OF any of the requested funds
would mean suffering, maybe star
vation, maybe quick death, for
many thousands Of persons.
Well, the house members Tor q
majority Of them) did not believe
those stories, and thus they made a
start at cutting governmental
spending. They gave an indication
at the same time that there must
be q general revision of the federal
governments machinery for relief
OF the unemployed. During the de-
pate and in the corridors, one heard
frequent expressions that congress
mad appropriated last year the funds
the administration thought necess-
airy to maintain relief until the end
OF next June. But profligate spend
ing mad used up the money and the
professional BELIEVERS had returned
tor more. Some of the debate was
quite acrimonious and various
charges were hurled that the relief
officials had tried again to "buy''
cne election, that being why the
FUNDS ran short.
immediately after the house was
through with the relief bill, the op-
ponents Of spending in the senate
started after the appropriation.
mere were many in that body who
wanted to appropriate only for two
months, proposing that in the
aeantlme there should be q brand
new relief setup devised. But the
majority sentiment was swayed by
.ae general argument that, whatever
ae shortcomings Of the Harry Hop
HS relief methods, poor people
e4aoulo not be made the goats; it
was no fault Of the unemployed who
neeoeo the help that MI. Hopkins,
now the secretary of commerce, had
"'aoe a mess Of the relief program.

ing toIbe pulled tighter by a couple
Of notches and that, sooner or Ia.
ter, even the beneficiaries of the
federal cash will note the Stigma
and slacken their demands.
One Of the leaders in this direc-
ton has been Sen. Harry Byrd, the
Virginia Democrat, who is just at
hard boiled in preserving sound
national government as his senior
the redoubtable Carter Glass. Thru
thick and thin, Senator Byrd has
been attacking the spending poll
cies. calling attention to the dan
debt and the certainty that the
country as whole must bear the
burden Of added taxation. He did
this the while administration sharp
shooters were firing one broadside
after another at his head or hide.
The other night, Senator Byrd got
on the radio and told the country
again what was happening. He had
some new facts and figures about
the situation. The Virginian asked
some rather pertinent questions,
too, about the situation in England.
He pointed out that England has
not been running deficit after deficit
and that, as matter Of cold fact,
while the United States was adding
more than $21, 900, 100000 to its ma
tional debt, England was balancing
its budget and making some head
way In reducing It's national debt.

Dempsey Picks
Buddy Baer to

WHILE the seemingly useless
" search for a white hope goes
on in heavyweight ranks. former
champion Jack Dempsey amazed
fistic circles recently with the an
nouncement that Buddy Baer is just
the lad to remove Joe Louis crown.
1t was unexpected because Buddy

served as quite q boost for the
younger Of the Baer tribe, however,
and should get him few important
fights. And right now he needs them.
Buddy's defeat by Gunnar Bar
lund hurt him in more ways than
one. He lasted only seven rounds,
giving up the fight before being
knocked out. Since then his courage
has been questioned. 1t should be
said to his credit that he knocked
out rough-and-ready Abe Simon aft

Revamped Par
FRED CORCORAN

n ~sSD SSftSSAtfA1Np OuIudIuSuS
manager of the Professional Golf
ers' association, believes that par,
as it is now computed, is COM
pletely outmoded standard.
Logic, buffers to the contrary, is
on his side. During the winters
p. G. A. tour the winners were 8
and 10 shots under par in almost
every 72-hole tournament. Golfing
topnotchers can do it every time
when they're really playing in form.
Golf, with those men, Is . pro-
fession and business. They work at
Il all day long, practicing endlessly.
1t has been said that when Jug Me-
Spaden shot phenomenal practice
round Of So In Texas, he went. i'm
mediately to the practice tee and
worked there for two hours. Par
can't hold down men like that.
Corcoran has doped out solution.
And he believes it will be accepted
in the near future. His plan:
He compares two holes, one Is $50
yards, the other as. On the present
yardage basis par for each Is four.
The 350-yard hole is straightaway,
there are no traps to speak Of and
no out-of-bounds bordering the fair
way. The AIS yarder's green is
guarded by pond, II is heavily
trapped and has out-of-b bounds to the
left of the fairway and beyond the
green.
According to Corcoran's system
the 350-yard hole would be given q
value Of four. With that as a basis,
the second hole would be rated at
four and four-tenths. Then, by total
ing figures for each hole, par would
be set.
The idea certainly has merit. It
is much more flexible than is the
present method, and its adoption
would save Old Man Par from the
severe beatings he has taken in re-
cent years.

Maybe Dempsey was right. Buddy

say there's the man." Look over
the balance of the field and try to
pick one. Most fans have a pet fight

in their hearts know that the brown
boy from down Alabama way is
just too good for the object of their
fistic affections.
A few short months ago Max Baer
was in the ring with Joe Louis. The
ending of the fight was, to say the
least, inglorious. Max was counted
out while resting on one knee.
That fact hurt Make a great deal

back to regain the confidence fans
once had in him.
Old Jack Roper was thrown into
the ring against Louis with no more
chance than the last chop in a
boarding house. At least he gave
West coast residents a chance to
see the champ in action.
Il would be useless to recount the
fights Louis has had. There's been
something the matter with every Op-
