POLlTIos ANIl nEnF


C0Ifgress. as Il settles down to
consider dchl and laxasion, finds
itself IN q difhfhit position. This Is
an election year, and unhapbily Tor
the hations riitay cougressmen of
both parties are taking q straight
political approach 70 the issue be-
fore them. II Congress approves
another heavy deficiency budget, II
must either .se0B levy new taxes or
raise the legal debt limit, which now
stands at ,00O.OO0.0O0. Either
course is politically dangerous and
unwise- e--either one might cost votes.
So, say. the Capitol Hill observers.
there Is an excellent chance that
Congress will make an attempt TO
pass the buck to the next session.
II that happens, the outlook for
this country will grow materially
darker. We have passed the buck on
fiscal matters, and deferred the day
of reckoning, for close to ten years.
IN that time, We have Increased the
national debt by around $25,000, ,O00,-
600. We have instilled in a danger
ously large proportion Of the people
a belief that The country owes them
living. no. matter how lazy or Inn
provident they may be. We, have
created a class OF "relief buns Gin
dividual and public whose sole am
bition seems to be to keep handouts
from the treasury coming regularly.
And the national morale, to say moth
ing of our .old-tiTne American spirit
Of independence and self-reliance,
has taken a terrible beating.
Just how long We can continue to
pass the buck and get away with it is
no longer an academic question. It,
is. Instead burning issue which
gets liotter all the time. II the pres
ent Congress again puts politics be-
fore the national welfare. and like its
predecessors, approves more billions
Of deficits without Knowing where
the money is to come from, it will
simply take us closer to national
bankruptcy. There is no use trying
to hide the fact that, from the fiscal
point Of view, this country is and
has long been. insolvent. And every
year we defer taking steps essential
to restoring our lost solvency, the
more difficult the problem becomes.

LINCOLN SAID IT!

mo other improvement that rea-
son can Justify us in hoping for, can
equal in utility the railroads
Upon the railroad. the regular pro-
gress of commercial intercourse is
not interrupted by either high or low
water. or freezing weather, which are
the principal difficulties that render
future hopes of water communities
ton precarious and uncertain"
That observation wasn't made by a
spokesman for the railroad industry,
Instead, it was made by one of the
greatest and most far-seeing men
this nation has produced, Abraham
Lincoln, the savior of the Union.
What Lincoln said is as true today
as it was in the 'fifties or sixties. In
the Great Emancipators time the
railroads made possible the winning
of the West. and the development OF
the vast wilderness that lay beyond
the Mississippi. In our own time
the physical frontiers have been
largely exhausted-but it is the rail
roads which are making possible the
development of those economic from
tiers upon which our hopes for pros
perity, security and opportunity de-
mend. The railroad is the indispen-
sable ally of the producer. be he
farmer or manufacturer. Today. as
in the past. it is one of the greatest
scivilizing agencies man has ever
known.
Otheu carriers, by water. highway
and air, perform valuable services
But these are of necessity limited
services. on top of that, most of the
other carriers have been directly OF
indirectly subsidized to the tune OF
hundreds Of millions of dollars from
the public treasures of state and ma
ton. That is especially true of the
waterways, which constitute a con-
stant, heavy and increasing drain
upon the taxpayers. Only the rail
roads are entirely self-supporting
And only the railroads can provide
in the face Of all natural obstacles
the certain, swift and economical
transportation service which is SO
vital to this or any other atoms
existence and progress.

u 5. GRANTS SEEN
AS BAIT TOCAUSE
STATE SPENDING
Continued from first Page,

many believe the policy is being fol-
lowed with the hope of ultimately re-
ducing the states to poverty and then
sbOlishing them. You're states
Fighter il you believe that to be true,
and must suffer the slings and ar
rows of LaGuardia. who believes the
federal government should collect all
the taxes.
Not only has relief and charity
been the cause of excessive extraOr-
dinary expenditures in Delaware.
Cepital Improvements have contri-
buted to the spending Of that balance
of 1881 and the excess ordinary reve-
rue. Suffice it to say that extra
ordinary expenditures have brought
Delaware's treasury very close to a
deficit in the past 10 years, aided aud
abetted by annual federal bait of
$3.7O0 600 in contingent grants in
1910 which item amounted to about
81 900 900 in 1881 and has risen
steadily"
Mr.. Truss said that although the
State has been following the federal
spending trend. it differs from the
federal government in that during
the past ten years mo drastic in
creases" in revenue lin fact none
that l know of, have had to be made
in Delaware's system"
Ordinary Revenue Adequate
"If the spending rate on improve
ments, welfare and relief continues"
he said. "this will not be the case.
but the revenue designed to
meet Delaware's ordinary expendi-
lures has more than met the test !
with little change in 10 years.
Mr.. Truss stressed that taxes and |
taxes alone pay the bills. Borrow
ing. he said. must be paid inevitably |
just as the bill il pays is paid even
tually by nothing else but taxes.
He warned taxpayers to watch the /
bond issues the government floats /
and to remember that each one mere
~ adds its share to the inevitable
tax bill.
During his talk he gave COM
prehensive sketch of the financial
conditions of both the State and
federal gOvernme
In summing UP the federal stu
atioa for the 10-ycar period, he said:
THE federal government has had
receipts from its tax system OF SAL
600 100000 and has made expendi-1
lures of S71 900 100000. incurring a
deficit of $4,000 100000 which has
resulted in borrowing that amount
which has been added to that which
was owed at the beginning of the
decade to make a total debt of S43,-
900 OOC 600 agains ia limit of S45,-
O0O OOO OOO which must be increased
by law or inilationaTy means, or both,
because tax sources are exhausted
and expenditures cannot be reduced
10 avoid more deficits and more bor-
rowing in the next two years
IL summarizing the situation i'll
Delaware during the past 10 years,
Mr.. Truss said: The State govern
mcnt had had receipts from ii tax
system of $1i0.500.O0O and from
and other income $22,-
600 900 and had an opening balance
on hand of S12.600,00O, or a total

Cash Balances
"At a glance the setimated cash
balance of all funds at June 80, 1910,
appears to be a considerable amount
Oh surplus cash. However. to obtain
true picture of the States cash
position it is necessary to consider
the individual fund balances, because
of the fact that the special fund cash
amounting to S1,142.759.47 is entire-
~ restricted and is not an available
balance. The highway fund balance
Of 1885,, ,626.5O may be entirely abb
sorbed by the 1910 construction pro-
gram which was recently approved
by the Highway Commission in the
amount Of 81 .22S 500, and the general
fund balance will not be sufficient to
liauidate the short term loans Of
$500 900 outstanding against same
at the present time. Eliminating the
items referred to. the only surplus
balance estimated to be available as
a. June 80, 1910, will be the current
school fund balance OF $2,563, 1881,
of which the Legislature has made
provision for loans and diversions 70
the general fund Of approximately
S77O, 900 during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1871. leaving an available
balance for school purposes at the

thinking on the part Of the average
citizen is needed, it's IN the matter
Of seeing that the fundamentals OF
our American system-our represen-

yate enterprise. and the various free
doms we enioy-are maintained. Un-

often attacked BY those who would

German Speakers

PARIS via Berlinl The city
of Paris is reviving slowly. but
expects hard winter.
Signs reading Jews not want
ed have appeared in some store
windows. Authorities have or
dered the employment of German
speaking masters OF ceremonies in
all French shows.
The Folies Bergeres, famous
strip tease show, Is scheduled to
reopen soon under German super
vision and with German speaking
major domos participating in the
show. Although the theaters. con-
certs and revenues also are sched-
uled to resume operations, the
most popular form of entertain
ment now in Paris is the open air
concert given by members of the
German army band.
Even though normal life returns
to what was once one of the gay
est cities in the world. the specter
of possible food shortage hangs
over Paris. Winter rationing is
considered a certainty.
