No. 311, T Washington Lowdown —— By Rodney Dutcher Official Joke Challenges Business Dream Goes Phooey panner-Herald Washington Correspondent : WASHINGTON — BEarly budget palancing officially became a joke on the morning of Jan 5. With a hey nonny nonny and a ha-ha-ha! It was in President Roosevelt’s new office, ~Where the president qas carefully explaining his new pudget to 2 hundred correspond ents, as a school teacher might give an arithmetic llesson. He was flanked by young Bud get Director Dan Bell and, more importantly, by Secretary Henry Morgenthau, who is the real bud get boss now, in case you hadn’t heard. Roosevelt wise-cracked that they'd tried to get the budget so cimple that even he could under stand it and you'd probably have enjoved being there, just to see the way everybody tossed the hil lions around the room. Very blithely, the president said: «we will have to borrow only $3,- 788,000,000 next year”. The only trouble was that there are drafts in this many-windowed office and one fears that ‘Mr. Roosevelt will soon again be - de veloping a bad cold. Last year he had said we should plan to have a definitely balanced budget by the fiscal year 1935-36 and now he was estimating g 1935- 36 gross deficit of $4,528,000,000. Some of the boys seemed a bit disturbed about that. “Are you now looking forward to a balanced budget at the '‘end of some other year?” wone ques tioned, “l hope so”, came the answer with a merry laugh. “Hope springs eternal!” 3 After that, it was everybody’s cue to laugh when anybody tried t 0 pin the president down as to when budget balancing might be hoped for. VEN He estimated next year’s deficit as smaller than this one by about three hundred millions and hoped to keep on reducing them, but— He insisted what he had said last year about balancing the bud get this year was merely expres sion of “a very pious hope.” Finally, you began to get the point that this gay and grinning president was really laughing at the bankers and business. men who keep telling him to balanee that budget. In effect, he was telling them: “Balance it yoursel- ) He meant tnct private indlil;itrl:zfll could cut the deficit by prov the‘ for employment and made o Doint that the budget really w:el beiug balanced — except for t > four million dollars he wants a]; } propriated for relief work in 193 -“ 38, The budget was so arranged as to throw the challenge smack in‘ the face of the loudest advocates of budget balancing. } The only time he got serious about it was when a correspon- Gent persisted in wanting to know ‘ Whether there wasn’t any flgu!‘e‘; above which T, D.

Oth ers will appear from time to time. Ir By DAN MAGILL “Everything is lovely and the goose hangs high”. With this exultant note the Athens Banner of March 15, 1892 announced the success of an elec tion to issue $125,000 in bonds to build a municipal waterwprks. The goose may have hung high on that March morning when Edi tor T. W. Reed’s paper announced that the bond election had gone over the top by a vote of 795 to 3, but before the first stream of water flowed through city-owned mains the entire question went through the state courts twice and finally was tied up by injunctions and other litigation in the New York courts for so long a time that the patience even of The Banner, ardent supporter of the water works movement, as well as a growing number of citizens, had been worn to a frazzle and the matter had become a bone of con tention in municipal politics. As is usual in movements of this kind, the burden fell on the shoulders of a relatively few citi zens. In the long court battle which finally ended in 1894, when a New York judge gave a decision which sided with the City of Ath ens in an injunction suit brought by Mr. Howell, there was consid erable murmuring amongst the cit izens, many of them privately voicing their disapproval, and the supporters of the movement were forced to work heroically to get the people to the polls in sufficient numbers to authorize the bond is sues. The determination and pa tience of the proponents of the city water system finally won, but it is more than likely that many were the times when they privately felt like chucking the whole business. Not withstanding their private feelings, {they turned to the public an ex terior exuding confidence gnd op timism, reassuring Doubting Thom ases that everything would come out all right in the end. At times, though, it appeared that the jig was up. But the municipal waterworks wag finally established and, after three months operation, the water works commission proudly report- (Continued on Page Seven) RUMBLE TO HEAD FAIRHAVEN BOARD Methodist Pastor Elected Yesterday to Succeed Erastus A.
