District BUDGET

In recommending District budget
that can be met without further tax
increases in the next fiscal year, the
Commissioners and the Budget Bu-
reau have needed the sentiment ex-
pressed by city-wide civic organiza-
tions when the estimates were being
prepared.
To accomplish that result they had
to cut deeply into the recommended
tions of department heads-taking
off about $13 100000 to balance the
local budget at total of $40, ,435 ,008.
This is bound to cause some disap-
pointment in localities where needed
improvements have been postponed,
but the city heads were facing a
realistic problem, and no doubt kept
in mind the fact that for three sue
cessive years the community has had
new tax programs imposed on it.
Even with the inadequate $5,000,-
900 Federal payment raised this year
to $6,00000 as a compromise figure
between the House and Senate, the
last session found it necessary to
add an individual and corporate in
come tax to the local revenue
structure.
1t is unfortunate that Congress
was unable to agree last year on the
fair and scientific Overton formula
of measuring the Federal obligation
by the percentage of land area re-
quired for national purposes. This
would have made the Federal share
about $9,OOO,OOO and provided for
many of the improvements next year
that now seem likely to be deferred.
After valiant stand by the Sem
ate in support of Senator Overton's
proposal, however, it became ap-
parent that the increase in the lump
sum was the best compromise the
two Houses could reach. In basing
next years estimates on a continual
ton of the same $6,OOO,0O0 figure,
the Budget Bureau adhered to the
policy it has followed in almost every
yCdl o4llCC UliC ~ oSOASS
started, of using the latest amount
agreed on by Congress for the Fed
eral share.
Some school building and ground
projects, improved public health ia
cilities and enlargement of the police
force for crime prevention and traf-
fic control were among the estimates
pared to keep the budget in balance.
The budget reductions thus were
made possible by pairing municipal
services most vital to the community.
1t is not real economy to postpone,
year after year, necessary additions
to the police force or to deny needed
traffic control equipment, the lack
of which tends to increase already
serious traffic hazards.
Even with the reductions that have
been made, however, there is one un-
certain factor in the calculation of
balanced budget. That is the new and
untried local income taxes, on which
Washingtonians will not file their
first returns until March. When the
bill was being drafted last summer
the yield was estimated at 100000
from the individual income tax and
$2,2O0,000 from the corporate income
tax. In the budget submitted yester-
day these estimates were revised up
ward to S1,2OO,OOO from individuals
and $2,40O,O0O from corporations.
The March returns will give the real
answer, and probably will be avail
able before the District appropria-
ton bill is completed. Until then
Washington cannot be certain it has
a balanced budget, even with the
cuts already recommended.

Wonders Why South
Likes New Deal.

LIKES new Deal.
To the Editor Of The Star:
The loyalty of the South to Mr.. Roose-
velt and the New Deal is hard to un-
derstand in view of the fact that New
Deal policies have almost ruined the
social and economic welfare of that
section. Though he slay me yet I will
love him" seems to be the attitude of
the majority of the Southern people.
The prosperity of the South depends
principally upon cotton. 1t was the
greatest cotton-producing section of the
world Under the idiotic New Deal
policy of plowing under and curtailing
the production Of cotton the South has
not only lost practically all it's export
markets, but according to a Customs
Bureau report we are not producing
enough cotton for our domestic needs,
thereby necessitating the importation
of cotton into the United States as
follows: Between September 20 and De-
cember 26, 12,687le3 pounds of cotton
Of staple 1As inches or more were i'm
ported into the United States The
quota on this kind of cotton for the
year ending next September 20. is As
656420 pounds. Egypt and the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan shipped 12,504, ,l99
pounds and Peru 1888 pounds.
Since the advent of the New Deal we
have also been importing beef, cattle,
wheat, corn, cotton seed oil, etc, etc.
The poor deluded South, tied to the
S,,r ~ 4f ,;o1i CT; iy,ic CT
ton, which is fraudulently masquerading
under the banner of the Democratic
party, is Fastening on the way to its
social and economic ruin, and doesn't
seem to have the gumption to realize it..

To the Editor OF The Star:

$10,790 for the current year, including
personnel, equipment and dog food.
Seemingly fine example of penny
wise-pound foolish" economy.
The Southwest Citizens Association
has taken positive and progressive
stand on these questions, having made
the following recommendations at its
November meeting: /. That sufficient
funds be appropriated to provide for
the efficient 24-hour operation of the
District Pound. 2. That an additional
pound wagon be procured and stated to
supplement the present one; that both
be equipped with police short-wave radio
sets in order to permit the receipt of
instructions while patrolling the streets;
and that one wagon be on duty for night
service. 3. That police officers in each
precinct be directed to investigate care
fully all premises containing dogs to
assure that tags have been procured for
them. 4. That the poundmaster and police
officers be authorized and directed to
swear out warrants on their own infor-
nation and knowledge against dog own
ers after substantiating complaints that
such dogs persistent bowling and bark
ing constitute a public nuisance.
We invite frank public comment and
criticism of this communication in the
hope that citizsnry awakened to the
situation may assist in our efforts to
bring back precious sleep at night In
barkless peace.

of physical and moral courage
at so young an age. 1t also de-
velops the spirit of cooperation
with others.
Coach Hanshue then intro
duced the captains of the team,
Arthur Davis and Dick Shell,
who distributed a gold football
charm to each one of the play
ers. &C. o. L. 40" was engraved

tor; G. E. Orr, athletic director,

CHURCH HISTORY
From humble birth in a store

East Main and Buena Vista

Oct. 21, 1894, it has grown from
an enrolment of forty to a

three hundred and forty-six.
Many changes have taken place
in the past 46 years. The mem
bership has changed constantly,
and today only a few charter
members remain.

Good SpOrtsmanship

Last week an ultimatum
10 the furry cottontail and
the hedge-hopping pleas
ant expired and an army
took to the field as a new
hunting season got under
way in Ohio.
While hunters hearts are
filled with expectancy and
high hopes of bagging the
limit, we urge them to also
Nconsider the angles Of safe
ty and sportsmanship.
This point cannot be en-
phasized too much. AL
ready in Licking county a
, Hanover youth, William
Hupp, Jr., is receiving
treatment in the City hos
pital for a wound in his
leg, the result of a shot
fired accidentally by his
companion. Several fatal
tiles have been reported
throughout the state.
Under the label of safe
ty, we mean care in hand
ling firearms, and under
sportsmanship, regard for
the rights and property of
others. Good rules for
hunters to follow are: first,
to be versed in the funda-
mentals of handling fire
arms and especially be ac-
customed to the gun being
used; second, respect the
rights of property owners
by not intruding on land
that is posted and by al
ways seeking permission
Nbefore entering upon any
hunting ground; and, third,
implicitly obey the game
laws.
A successful hunter is a
good sportsman. A good
sportsman is one who al
ways obeys the rules.

tion Monday night, council mem
