WHAT STARTED OUT last
January to be a spending session
of Congress pas turned out to be
an economy session.
It is now
certain that
| when the final
totAl on appro
priations voted
for the 1960
fiscal year is
। added up, it
I will be well
I under the fig-
10^
ure requested by President Eisen
hower and the Budget Bureau.
The House of Representatives cut
the 15 regular appropriations bills
$2.3 billion below the amounts
asked by the White House and it
is a foregone conclusion that when
Senate and conference action is
completed on all of them the sav
ings to the taxpayers should be
somewhere between $1 and $2
billion. Thus, prospects for a
balanced federal budget for the
year ending next June 30 would
appear to be good provided the
nation's economy continues its
present upward trend.
* • ♦
THE ONLY AREA of federal
spending in which Congress is
voting any substantial increase
over the amount requested is that
of health. The completed appro
priation for the Departments of
Labor and Health, Education ami
Welfare is $259.0 million above
the total for which the Chief Ex
ecutive asked. The major por
tion of that increase will go for
accelerated medical research, par
ticularly in the fields of cancer
u and heart disease—a w orthy pur
pose which mdoubtedly will have
the approval of all thoughtful
citizens.
The greatest single cut will be
the appropriation for foreign
(no! prepared or printed at government expense)

aid and sizeable reductions also

earmarked to operate the Depart
ments of Agriculture, Treasury,
Post Office, State and Justice.
Even the budget of the Depart
ment of Defense has been trimmed
$35.6 million under the recom
mended figure. All of these re
ductions will be accomplished
without any curtailment in gov
ernment services.

CREDIT FOR THE attitude of
fiscal responsibility now prevail
ing in Congress must be given to
two forces: (1) the pleas for a
balanced budget and the vetoes
and threats of vetoes by Presi
dent Eisenhower and (2) the dili
gence of the taxpayers in making
their wishes known to their Sena
tors and Congressmen.
What has happened in Congress
this year is proof of the funda
mental fact of government in a
republic that whenever the masses
of the people become aleited and
enthusiastic about an issue they
can work their will through their
representatives on the national
level.
It likewise is true that when
the people are lackadaisical or
asleep any proposal which has any
element of good can be passed
through Congress without regard
to the ability of the taxpayers to
pay for it. A case in point is the
recent vote in the Senate to revive
the Civilian Conservation Corps
at a cost of SIOO million a year
despite the facts that the nation
is enjoying unprecedented pros
perity and our national budget
has been balanced only five times
in the last 30 years.
