A—4 &2 —— BUDGET ON SLATE AT WARN SPRINGS President, Off Tonight, Will Study Needs and Draft Message. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt will leave Wash- Ington tonight for Warm Springs, Ga., for s three-week visit at the little white frame cottage on the slopes of Pine Mountain, which he affectionately refers to as his “second home.” He | will divide his time between rest and | work. The latter will consist principally of further study on next year's budget and the drafting of the annual mes- sage, on the state of union he will send to Congress when it reconveies in January. Undecided as to Sum. ‘The President said today he has no | fdea yet what the amount of the budget will be when he presents it to Congress, but he hopes to have the figures in fairly complete form by the time he returns to the White House the second week in December. It is | expected, too, that Mr. Roosevelt will have his annual message well on the way toward completion by the time he gets back. In the great mass of papers the President will take along to Warm Springs with him will be the budget estimates dealing with the District of Columbia, the Navy and Commerce | Departments. All budget estimates | for other departments and agencies already have been completed. Assistance to Be Given. ‘To assist him in giving final con- | sideration to the unfinished estimates the President has arranged to have | Daniel Bell, acting director of the Budget Bureau, and Representative Buchanan of Texas, chairman of the | House Committee on Appropriations, | Join him at Warm Springs next Mon- day. Representative Buchanan will have personal charge of the budget during its consideration in the House. Budget May Be Lower. The fact that Representative Buchanan will be present as the Presi- dent puts finishing touches to the budget gives strength to persistent | rumors that the President is going te present a budget substantially lower than the one for the current year. The Texas Representative, as head of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, has been a strong advocate | of a serious effort to balance the | budget. It has already been indicated by Mr Roosevelt that the reductions to be expected must be made in the appro- priations in connection With relief work and the many emergency agen- cies. District Estimates in Doubt. Just what the President will do with the District estimates is as much of a mystery at this time as any of the other departmental estimates. The Commissioners presented to the Budget Bureau estimates totaling $47,482.760, which is about $5,000,000 in excess of the total appropriation for the Dis- trict for the current year. The Com- missioners included a proposal for the | continuance of the $1.50 tax rate and proposed a Federal payment to the District of $8.317,000. District officials naturally are eagerly awaiting the final treatment of the District esti- mates, particularly the proposal for the Federal payment, inasmuch as the Federal payment for the current year was only $5,700,000. The President will leave Washington on a special train which will put him in Warm Springs late tomorrow after- noon. He will make no stops along the way except the ordinary railroad operating stops. Mr. Roosevelt will be accompanied by Marvin H. McIntyre of the White House secretariat, who will be in charge of the skeleton-size executive staff at Warm Springs. Among those who will be on the ex- ecutive staff in Georgia are Miss Mar- guerite Le Hand, the President’s per- sonal secretary; Miss Grace Tulley, Henry Kanne, Miss Roberta Barrows, Miss Louise Hachmeister and E. W. Smithers. Dr. Ross T. McIntire, White House physician, vill be in the party. Trip Annual Event. For a number of years Mr. Roose- velt has aranged his affairs so as to ve at Warm Springs to spend Thanksgiv- ing day with the patients, most of whom are children, at the Warm Springs Foundation. As usual he will preside at the Thanksgiving day din- ner. Mrs. Roosevelt, who is at present in New York, will join her husband at Warm Springs within the next few days. Mr. Roosevelt will make an impor- tant address in Atlanta, Ga., Novem- ber 29, the occasion being a mammoth Roosevelt home-coming celebration. ‘The President will arrange his return Journey to Washington to permit a stopover for a few hours in Chicago, where he will address the annual meet- ing of the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration on December 9, and an hour’s stop at South Bend, Ind., that after- noon to receive an honorary degree at Notre Dame University and to make a brief speech. According to the Presi- dent’s schedule at this time he will be back in Washington December 10, Many Conferences Listed. ‘The President was busy today with @ long engagement list which includ- ed conferences with a number of de- partmental heads. In addition he held a number of conferences over the telephone with other administra- tion assistants. This afternoon the President formally will receive the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the United States Supreme Court in the blue room of the White House. ‘This is an annual custom which dates back to the early days of the Republic. ‘The purpose of this annual Autumn visit of the members of the Supreme Court is to formally acquaint the President with the fact that the Su- preme Court has resumed sessions. ‘This call would have been made dur- ing the first week the court recon- vened in October, but the President was at Hyde Park at the time. Just in advance of the Supreme Court re- ception the President formally re- ceived the new Minister to this coun- try from Latvia. During the day the President had conferences with Jesse Jones, chair- man of the Reconstruction Finance Corp.; Secretary of Commerce Roper, Secretary of Interior Ickes, Secre- , tary of State Hull, Assistant Secre- taries of State R. Walton Moore and Sumner Wells, Assistant Secretary of War Woodring, Maj. Gen. Blanton Winship, Governor of Porto Rico; Marriner Eccles, governor of the Fed- eral Reserve Board, and Harry L. Hopkins, works progress administra- tor. The latter was a luncheon guest with the President. —_ Steals to Pay Taxes. ‘W.

P. Photos. Roosevelt Speech Text President Tells Mayors He Does Not Propose to Let Citizens Starve—Forecasts Confer- ence on Taxes. Here is the text of President Roosevelt's talk to the United States Confzrence of Mayors late yesterday | at the White House: I am glad to see you here. Many of you I have known personally for a great many years. With some of you, I have worked on many problems in the past. I have not prepared any formal remarks for your gathering here. I wish, though, that I could have sat with you in your meetings to hear what has been said and to learn more about the problems of government. We have, all of us, I think, learned a great deal about the problems of government, in the broad sense of the word, in the past few years. We have tried experiments—some of them have been very successful and some of them, like all experiments, have not been quite so successful. Through this process, we are build- ing up, as Mayor Hoan (of Milwau- kee), has said, a new relation- ship—a perfectly sound relation- ship—between the different branches of Government, munici- pal, state and national. L] None to Starve. One of the newspapermen, & few moments ago in the press confereice, asked the kind of ques< tion you are all asked and I am asked every week. Members of the press are present, I know, but I do not mind their hearing this. The particular question was this: “Is the Government going to stop giving relief next July?” That” is the kind of thing— spreading the word around that everybody who is now on relief will be taken off relief rolls begin- ning the 1st of July—we have to combat. My answer was that the Federal Government, and I am sure your answer will be the same for the city governments, does not propose to let people starve after the 1st of July any more than during the past few years. We are learning also a greater efficiency. Certainly the new work this year, so far as lasting useful- ness is concerned, has been in- nitely more successful, better planned and better carried out than it was under the old C. W. A, program of 1933. Think what a gain 1" has been in two years. Go over the lists of projects, both W. P. A. and Public Works this year, and the percentage of them which will be of lasting benefit to the communities is very, very high. That is something I think the average citizen in all of your cities appreciates, in spite of vari- ous attacks which have been made on these projects. Gives Them Responsibility. Of course, in the last analysis, you people who run governments of the cities in this country—and ir the country districts, the super= visors and county commissioners— are responsible for these prpjects. You people suggest them and, on the whole, your suggestions with respect to these projects have been extraordinarily good. I am de- lighted with the usefulness and permanence of these projects. Well, all of this has come about in the course of less than three years. All of us have learned a lot, but we still have much to learn. There are various processes of government that can be simpli- fled and ought to be simplified. For example—and this is not my fault because Congress put it in the bill—I have to sign all the allotments in person. -I have signed hundreds, thousazids of al- lotment papers for various projects. They ought never to come to my desk, but we have go through what is called “red Yape” because of the law, When applications come in here from the various lo- calities they have to go through a certain process. They have to go, in part, to the director of the budget. Then they come to me and then they go to the controller general of the United States. There has been a lot of talk about proj- ects being held up for a long time by the controller general, but, after all, he is limited In the staff he has. The way he has done this work has been perfectly fine. His people are worn to the bone. They have been working day and night Hence the projects have been coming through and I think some people are going to find in a few weeks that the program as a whole is going to be carried out before the end of November, just as planned last Spring. Urges Tax Simplification. “I would like to say another word on a subject—an important subject—that you and I have in mind. That subject is taxation. ‘Taxes have grown up like Topsy in this country. There have been a great many efforts to simplify taxation—to establish lines of de- marcation between the different types of taxation, giving certain types to localities, others to the States and still others to the Fed- eral Government. We are stepping on each other’s toes, especially in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. In fact, virtually since the beginning of the World ‘War, the general tax situation in the United States has become, not only more complicated, but has called for revision. We haven't had a revision and I think the time is coming—not this coming sesslon of Congress, because we hope that it will be a very short session—but by the following year, when all of us can get together and sit around a table and work out a better system of taxation, State, municipal and Federal. Late this Winter we are going to ask you to come down and talk about that subject around the table. I suppose this meeting will be dignified by the name of a tax conference, but I would rather keep it informal and have it be- come a continuing study which will bring forth an intelligent report before the close of the year 1936. - Mayor Hoan has said that this is a non-partisan gathering. We have to keep it so, and in the approaching conference we will have to think of taxation in a non-partisan way. It has been fine to see you. I hope to see you again next Spring. Many thanks for coming. — Maydrs (Continued From First Page.) both re-elected; T. Semmes Walmsley of New Orleans and Neville Miller of Louisville. Ask Relief Continuation. ‘The mayors recommended continu- ation of the Federal relief program through the next fiscal year and de- cided to petition Congress for addi- tional appropriations for the fiscal year 1936-37 sufficient to meet a planned and comprehensive program for relief work and direct aid. Other résolutions urged that cities take proper steps to insure adequate and proper co-operation and contribu- tions from their own States to supple- ment Federal funds; that every State promptly enact legislation to effectu- ate the national soclal security act and that the act be amended to en- able municipalities to provide old-age security for their loyes on & vol- untary basis. 3 ‘The mayors applffuded vigorously when President repeated the | question asked at his earlier press con- ference, “Is the Government going ‘o | stop direct relief next July?” and re- | told his reply. | “My answer was that the Federal Government—and ¥ am sure your an- | swer will be the same for the city gov- | ernments—does not propose to let peo- ple starve after the 1st of July any more than during the past few years.” A number of the conference mayors, including Hoan, had stated earlier that cities could not assume the full | burden of direct relief December 1. After the White House call, Hoan and | his colleagues appeared encouraged oy the “no starvation™ statement. | Encouraging, Says Hoan. “It was a fine talk,” Hoan said. “and | we are all glad to have these assurances | from President Roosevelt.” l Mr. Roosevelt told the mayors “taxes have grown up like Topsy in | this country,” adding: ‘ “We are stepping on each other’s toes, especially in the last 5. 10 or 15 years. In fact, virtually since thé beginning of the World War the gen- eral tax situation in the United States has become not only more complicated, | but has called for revision. “We haven't had a revision and I thirk the time is coming—not this coming session of Congress, because we | | hope that it will be a very short session | | —but by the following year, when all | of us can get together and sit around | a table and work out a better system | of taxation, State, municipal and Fed- | eral. | “Late this Winter we are going to ask you to come down and talk about that subject around the table.

Senator Wagner. Democrat of New | York, principal speaker at the mayors’ banquet last night, said $65.000.000.000 would be needed in the next 10 years to finance needed new homes. Urging support of his 10-billion- | dollar Federal housing program to | meet partially this need, Senator Wagner said: “Even a casual tour try reveals in every county an ugly squalor that spells deprivation. disease and unnecessary exposure to crime and vice.” As Wagner was urging expanded Federal effort in the home building fleld, a survey by the Home Loan Bank Board reported that small urban cen- ters were surging ahead of larger cities in “rate of recovery” in resi- dential construction. Construction in Cities. ‘The survey cited, the report said, that 60 per cent of the total volume of construction during the first nine months of this year was in cities of 100,000 or more. From recent indications, the survey said, the “inference might be drawn” that larger centers “are beginning to feel the effects of speculative building and forthcoming construction boom “This actual activity in residential building, however, fails to portray ac- curately the rate of construction in relation to the population require- ments,” the report said. “The most striking revelation of this picture is the extraordinary ex- pansion of building in the smaller- sized urban areas. “An analysis of the data shows that for the United States as a whole 13.45 units were provided per 10,000 population in cities of 10,000 to 25.- 000 inhabitants in the first nine months of 1935, while only 9.55 units per 10,000 population were provided in cities of 100,000 or more inhabi- tants.’ Communist Drive.

WISE, Va, November 20—Edith Maxwell, 21-year-old comely mountain school teacher, looked today to fur- ther legal maneuvers to remove the stigma of murderer of her father, placed on her last night by a jury of her mountaineer neighbors. The girl the prosecution charged with premeditated murder of her father, because she objected to con- forming to the strict code of conduct | set up by him, was convicted last | night of first-degree murder and sen- tenced to 25 years in the State peni- tentiary. The altercation which resulted in the death' of the girl's father, Trigg Maxwell, blacksmith, climaxed a quar- rel between the two when the girl | returned home after midnight mdg the father remonstrated with her for | keeping late hours. | Immediately after the jury's ver- | dict was returned defense counsel be- | gan preparation of a written motion | to set aside the verdict and grant a Climax of Patricide Trial contributors, who have pledged $4,~ 232.23, or 4274 per cent of the unit's quota.
