Drastic Cuts
In Spending
RELIEF, PUBLIC WORKS
AND FARM PROGRAM
SAVINGS ASKED

Washington - up = President
Roosevelt urged congress today to
slash farm, relief and public
" 4 e spending in budget mes
sage asking $3.50, ,000, 900 of special
defense taxes and proposing one
of the smallest deficits in de-
cade.
If all his recommendations are
followed, he forecast net deficit
for the fiscal year beginning July
1.of 81, ZIG, 100000, compared with
an estimated So, 1888 ,O00, 900 for the
current year.
Cutting nearly everything in the
budget except defense funds, the
president estimated expenses for
the next fiscal year at $8,424, ,0O0,-
900, which he said would be
$675 100000 less than this year.
Net receipts from existing taxes,
not counting social security levies,
would increase 1892, 100000 to
548,000,000 because of better
business.

RamseyPark
Buffalo Herd
ToBe Reduced
MAYOR GETS MATTER
SETTLED; STATE TO
GIVE AWAY FOUR

Ramsey parks buffalo herd will
be reduced to three or four and
the remaining animals given away
to other ZOOS, letter from Harold
Lathrop, director of the division
of state parks, to Mayer j. G. Bu-
dix of Redwood Falls indicates.
The letter was in reply to DR..
Budik's communication to Fred
Denield, director of the state di-
vision of public property.
Two weeks ago Denfeld gave
the newspapers a story asking any
communities wanting free buffalo
to write to him, as the state had
nine in the two parks which j
wanted to get rid of because it had
no funds to feed them.
DR.. Budik told Denfeld en-
phatically that years back Red
wood Falls paid for buffalo for the
park. Descendants comprise the
seven buffalo in Ramsey park, as
well as those in Itasca park. Fur
thermore, the mayer added, the
city and generous farmers have
fed the buffalo for three years and
will continue to do so.
Meanwhile, Denfield received SO
letters from cities all over Mime
sofa, and even some from Massa-
chusetts, Kansas, New Jersey and
North Dakota, offering to take the
hIIffa In off hic hands
So he put the matter in La
throp's hands.
Lathrop replied as follows:
'You will recall at our meeting at
the golf club last summer,
stated that l was desirous of see
ing the buffalo removed from the
lower fiat, where they now pas
ture, in order that this area might
be used for picnicking, because Of
the limited areas now existing
along the river.
81 have always felt that the buff
falo have been responsible for the
badly eroded condition of the hill
sides within the pasture, which
am dssirous of having replanted,
to give a natural effect. This
would call for moving the buffa-
10 to the pasture new occupied by
the deer, which is somewhat limit
ed in size for these large animals.
81 appreciate that the City and
people of Redwood Falls have met
the need of feeding these buffalo,
but that is not the only problem,
as stated above.
"It is my opinion, a five-year
old bull, a six-year old cow and a
calf will give a representative
showing of these animals, in
which the public are so interest
ed.
''To continue to let the herd
increase in size, which calls fol-
additional work ON the part of oul
park superintendent, in the way
of feeding them and hauling feed
is only making it impossible tc
give the park its best supervision
and maintenance"
