The republican national commit;
tee in a statement tonight assert
ed President Roosevelt's financial
program, if carried out, "would
force the administration to re
sort to 'uncontrolled' Inflation."
"Vast" public expenditures feed
upon- themselves,! the committee
said. "They have further expen
ditures necessary. They, furnish
plausible excuses for expenditures
which are not necessary.
"They- invariably . become a
'pork barrel' of scandalous pro
portions, whereby the adminis
tration in power boldly uses the
taxpayers' money -and the nation's
credit to subsidize communities,
sections, groups, blocks and indi
viduals in the hope and expectan
cy 01 winning popul v. approval
and political support.
"An administration witli such

Is Upheld in
Empire Case
Judge James Crawford, presid
ing in a suit brought by the re
ceiver of the defunct Empire
Holding corporation to collect a
$20,000 note from O. P. Coshow,
ex-Justice of the Oregon supreme
court, yesterday denied defense
claims of fraud and lack of con
sideration raised against payment
of the note. :'-'
The court announced It would
rule today con credits which Co
show alleges should be applied to
the note. These include v $2000
cash item paid on interest, a
$3000 commission allowance, and
salary allowances, which bring the
total offsets to $31,299.
- The court held the defense did
not present evidence to show
fraud. Judge Crawford ruled that
lack of benefit was shown but not
lack of consideration. Said the
court: "The fact that subsequent
operation of the corporation was
financially unsuccessful, in no
wise establishes a failure ot con
sideration but merely records a
disastrous business venture not re
sulting in a defense to the note
action." v- - f
