4 ; THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1937. for 1937, which in turfi will be more than $1,000,000,000 ahead of the year before. As to that part of the long-range program relating to decrease in Federal outlays for the needy unemployed, the President’s projected expenditure of $1,500,000,000 for this purpose for the next fiscal year is approximately $500,000,000 less than now estimated for the current year. But the President himself seems to have arrived at the conclusion that the reduction of deficits is not a sufficient goal. A complet- Daily Alaska Empire : ROBERT W.

AMNE LAROER The, recovery and relief item is now the bar: rier to plans for balancing the government's income and outgo, not only because it has to be included but because of its very size. The prominence of the relief item of $1.500.000,000 in the fiscal picture for 1938 may, paradoxically, lead straight and quickly to a balance of the budget. Today it stands as the greatest threat of additional taxes, and certain leaders in Congress are not overlooking the importance of impressing this upon their colleagues. It is regarded simultaneously as a threat and an opportunity, an opportunity to cut enough from this one proposed expendi- i ture to wipe out the threatened deficit of $418,000,000 for the next fiscal year. A movement is already on foot at the Capi- tol to pare the amount to $1,000,000,000. Lead- ing it are some of the Congressmen who have most influence on matters of revenue and ap- propriations. These men last week deliber- ately started a sori of “whispering” campaign to impress their fellows with the danger of enactment next year of a sales tax or an in- crease in income exactions in the lower tax brackets if the budget is not cut enough now care of the $418,000,000, and even to create a surplus on the Treasu books. led to the use for | d to it or not other- | The 2:socis. republicat on of all & spat wise credited in this paper and sise the lacal, nave herein.
