SCHOOL
Best one we've heard lat
ely concerns little lad who
lives in Our Town. After
exams his mother asked him
how his grades could be SO
low when another young feller
on the block had come away
with straight AS. Our little
hero promptly replied
We'll, I think it must be that
his parents are brighter than
mine ! -
DAFFYNiTIoN
Speaking of school, we have
always liked this grade-school
definition of a bolt and a
nut. Supposedly some more
than usual student had this to
say :. A bolt is a thing like
a stick of hard metal such as
iron with a square bunch on
one end and a lot of scratch
ing wound around the other
end. A nut is similar to a bolt
only just the opposite being
hole in little chunk or iron
sawed off with wrinkles
around the inside of the hole!.

year below the Treasury's esti-
mated income of 1906. 600, 900.
Few observers expect the House
and Senate to cut that deeply,
but they believe Senator Byrd will
have more supporters this year
for some reduction than he has
had In the recent past.
Charges Another Failure.
Senator Byrd pointed out that
last year. when 1t looked as
though the current deficit would
be only $1,000, ,ooo, 900, the Presi-
dent asked for $4,000, 100000 of
new taxes.
This year." said Senator Byrd,
"he estimates a $4,000 900 def
cit. but the new taxes which he
says he will recommend later are
carefully framed in language
which does not promise that the
budget in 1851 will be balanced,
even If the tax increases were
adopted. History will record that
what he has proposed is another
indefensible failure to balance the
Federal budget in another year of
peace and greatest prosperity"
The Virginian recalled that the
actual deficit for the current fiscal
year ending next June is now esti-
mated at $500, ,o00.o 900. The Sen
ator said the Presidents new budg-
ct indicates next years deficit
will be $5,133 900, 900 unless taxes
are increased.
He could be as wrong this year
as he was last" Senator Byrd
added.
The President based his $5,133,-
100000 estimate of next years
deficit on hope that Congress will
raise postal rates by 1895 ,000, 900.
If that fails, the deficit will be that
much higher.
A House committee has recon-
mended $131 900 900 of postal in
creases. and a Senate committee
has approved $113.000. 900. Sup
porters say, however. they expect
trouble getting either figure
through both houses.
Senator Aiken. Republican, o1
Vermont was one Of those wnc
frankly conceded budget cutting
will not be easy in an election
year. He said:
"I had been anticipating a def
cit, and it is going to be difficult
to pare it any in this election
year. We may be able to make
some reduction but not to any
great extent"
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee is pro-
ceeding on the theory that Con-
gress will try the consolidated
money bill this year. and is count
ing on that to achieve economy
Speaker Rayburn has remained
non-commital on the idea, but the
Senate Appropriations Committee
has voted to 60 along with the
omnibus bill experiment If ths
House inaugurates 1t.
