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

less government spending don't
look good.
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

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

have longer horns, are faster on
their feet and harder to throw.

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
