1 John Q. Citizen Caught In Middle As Budget Controversy Increases By JAMES THRASHER ' "To be a liberal," said- Senator Douglas ot Illinois, "one doesn't have to be a wastrel." That is a perfectly sensible statement. But it probably surprised some people, coming as it did from an old New Deal supporter who is strong for Mr. Truman's social reform program. It was a surprising statement because liberalism in a member of government has come to mean liberality with public money, among other things. The liberal in government ii supposed to be committed to the "tax and tax and spend and spend" philosophy. But here was a leftofcenter Democrat In Congress who didn't feel it his boundtn duty to sling the dough around. Mr. Douglas made his remark In connection with his support of the so-called Republican economy drive. Republicans did lead the effort to cut at least 5 per cent from department and agency funds In appropriatinR for the coming fiscal year. But the ef fort picked up some Democratic support from outside the South. Spending Cut Doubtful It didn't pick up enough, how ever. The economy moves were beaten down. Unless the House persuades the Senate to change its mind in conference on the ap propriation bills, the chances for A. F. Walter Kresse, M. D. Physician and Surgeon U. S.

It is'no secret that federal reve nues and expenses have come to a point of imbalance where the government is going to have to do one of three things: cut spend ing, raise taxes, or go back to deficit financing. Senator Douglas and a lot of other sensible people feel that now. when prices are going down and the threat of Inflation is only theoretical, there is no point in lowering the standard of living by taking more money out of the taxpayer's pocket. Hoover Report Important No sensible person can want deficit spending. We have a na tional debt now which is so big that the Interest on it Is almost one and a half times the amount it took to run the whole govern ment 20 years ago. So there isn't much left to do except cut some good-sized cor ners. The most promising tools for that job are at hand in the Hoover Commission's report. But the savings from the Hoover recommendations would not come over night. Worse than that, they may not come at all. For there is now a bill in the Senate that would give either branch of Con gress a veto over the President's SAWDUST SLAB WOOD PLANER ENDS DENN-GERRETSEN CO. Phone 128 402 W.

Bill Markley, well known rodeo Clown, has been In charge of the 55 Ranch during the past winter, taking care of the Christensen livestock. This year Christensen Bros, have acquired a number of Louis iana swamp cattle In place of the Texas long horns they have used In previous years. I his Is because of the prevalence of hoof-and-mouth disease among Texas cat tle and the danger that the di sease might spread. Carter said the Louisiana cattle have longer horns, are faster on their feet and harder to throw. "The cowboys will really earn their money in the rodeo this year," he added. One of the bulls to be used this year Is "Golden Grain," sold as a calf by Christensen Bros, for $75 four years ago and repurchased by them for $1,000 this year. The "best bull riders In the country" have not been able to stay on him, said Carter.
