A Budget Principle (New York Times) The Presidents letter to the chairman of the |House and Senate Agricultiiral Committees laid down an admirable budget principle: “It is, of course, especially important” [the Presi- dent wrote] “that any new legislation should not un- balance the expected balancing of the budget. In other words, no additional Federal expenditures from the general fund of the Treasury should be made over and above existing planned expenditures. | “The only exeeption to this would be the incurring of additional obligations on the part of the Treasury backed 100 percent by additional receipts from new taxes. “In other words, whatever goes out must be bal- anced by an equivalent amount in.” It is of the first importance, especially at the present juncture, that this principle be maintained. To vote for subsidies to special groups, without at the same time voting for the taxes to pay them, is the politician’s paradise. It ingratiates him with the recipients of his favors, without arousing the groups who are ultimately going to be asked to pay for his generosity. The process is psychologically and poli- tically demoralizing. The money that Congress is The Juneau swimming pool project is back In the gppropriating, when it does not have to vote the lap of the City Council, right where it started months taxes for it, does not seem like real money to it. It ago, and, to our way of thinking, right where it is a sort of stage money. The only way to make it should be. real is to force Congress to vote for a tax bill that @ would raise the funds called for. A public forum held in the Elks hall last night, at | o S yoters who are getting the benefits of which the Permanent Swimming Pool Committee was those funds, but the vaters who are being asked to strongly represented, went on record unanimously in supply them, will know about it.
