BEND STAYS ON STANDARD TIME
Yesterday's decisive vote against the adoption of daylight
saving settles that question. Bend will stay on standard time
unless some governor, acting under recent legislation, pro
claims a change effective for the whole state and that, as we
understand the new law, cannot be done unless both Cali
' fornia and Washington have changed to daylight time. .
The issue came before the people on the proposition that
"big interests" were seeking to dominate the city's action in
the matter of local time and with it was the implication that
"mill workers and other citizens" preferred the daylight ar
rangement. The "big interests" were never identified but
numerous business firms urged a "yes" vote. Mill workers, on
the other hand, were against a change. .
In other communities the negative decision has been based
on the desire to accommodate the farm interests that dislike
daylight time. Without doubt many votes against a change
were cast here yesterday with our Jarmer mends in mind,
These, with the mill worker opposition, carried the day.
Business firm preference for daylight time will now most
certainly be forgotten in the knowledge that the customers on
whom business depends for success do not want to change.
.; ENCOURAGING A DEFICIT
When a recession hits, the immediate manifestation is in
decrease of transactions, that is to say in business volume.
Quickly there follows a shrinkage in profit margin, since it is
a virtual impossibility to reduce costs and commitments to
balance falling income. The bill for operation will, for a time,
remain at the old level while sales diminish. Before remedial
measures can be taken a business, especially one in which an
inadequate safety factor exists as between outgo and income,
is likely to be losing money. It was this danger which was
clearly in the mind of the manager of one of the state's leading
business enterprises when he remarked, early in the year,
that if his company's gross were decreased by 10 per cent the
business would be "in the red". , .-,
It was pure coincidence, we are sure, when Senator Harry
F. Byrd, one of the really sound economists in congress, used
the same percentage recently in emphasizing the need for
close figuring of the nation's needs, for careful control in
stead of reckless spending, for retrenchment and for balance
jn budgeting. Quoting the experts of the joint committee on
internal revenue taxation, he pointed out that "a 10 per cent
recession in the aggregate personal incomes of all citizens
(the chief yardstick by which tax revenue is measured)
means a loss of 5,000,000,000 a year from the present tax
revenue".
This would be classed as a minor recession. If it were
greater, so would be the tax loss, probably disproportionately
greater, since the rates assessed on incomes follow a sliding
scale. In cither case a recession in income and that is what
a business recession must presently add up to automatically
brings about a deficit.
In the current situation, Senator Byrd observes, there is
already a deficit in the making through authorization of na
tional expenditures beyond possibility of normal revenue
returns, "under the most simplilied methods ot budget pro
cedure", he states, "the complexities of its administration are
extremely great, but, under existing methods, the budget con
fusion is so fantastic that I have frequently heard sincere col
leagues of mine differ by as much as from $4,000,000,000 to
$6,000,000,000 in estimates of spending".
Some further observations by the same authority :
No sooner Is the budget submitted to the congress than'
the president begins to send in supplemental requests which
require supplemental anil deficiency appropriations. So far,
, in this fiscal year, one deficiency bill has been enacted, car
rying a total of $1.7 billion, mid a second deficiency bill Is
.now under consideration. Our budget procedure is vastly,
complicated by authorizations before appropriations, which
preclude economy.
The federal government of the United States is the biggest
financial operation on earth, and nothing Is as economically
important to as many people as the fiscal situation ot this
; country. Yet, under present, legislative procedure, neither
. congress nor the American public has an opportunity intelligently-to
analyze fiscal legislation. We attempt to finance
vast domestic and world programs through legislative pro.
cesses in which it is impossible to know whether income ami
outgo are in balance until after the budget Is enacted.
The procedure Is archaic and the language is confusing.
t i-iiitii mi- ill luiiun Ul tllHUll 1I1UOIIA, out we oai-
ance with revenue in terms of expenditures. There is no
readily available facility for cilher congress or the public lo
translate current and previous appropriations into terms of
annual expenditures ell her by items or by totals.
As congress passes spending bills under present procedure,
it has no idea as to what the over all total of either appro-
nrintLinc ni nvtinn.lidimc rill l,
Congress breaks down the appropriation side of the hmlcct !
message into a dozen or more bills, each dealing with a
group of activities. Each bill .Is handled by a (liflerent sub
committee in each house of congress. They are brought in
one by one for passage over a period of six months. They
are not accompanied by an annual expenditure estimaie.
There is no way of telling what Ilio total of either appropria
tions or expenditures is, and I here is no way of comparing
the effect of the action on the bills with the revenue situation.
A long Initial step toward clarity in budgetary legislation
and intelligent consideration by Die congress mid the public'
would be taken by the adoption of a single appropriation
bill, which would consolidate and total all appropriation
items into one act and specify how much of each Item could
be obligated In the ensuing year. It would be accompanied by
a report translating appropriations into expenditures. And,
It would be considered as a whole, in full view of the revenue
side of the fiscal situation. Other senators and I have intro
duced such a resolution, providing for a single appropriation
Any business decline now would deliver its imparl to gov
ernment financing in the fiscal year beginning Jutv 1, l!)f0.
It would not be until then that the full measure of tax loss
from lowered income volume would be felt, Senator Byrd
explains.
To this threat there must be an answer. There will be gen
eral agreement, we are sure, that the answer does not lie in
new or higher tuxes tor, to quote once more :
What would he the result of a substantial lax Increase on a
business economy when II is already receding? Uy all the
rules, new taxes at such a time miiv easily accelerate a minor
f business decline into a ma jor recession.
The alternative, of course, is introduction of efficiency in
government, elimination of waste, reduction of spending. The
Hoover commission plan for administrative reorganization
gives the directions for achieving much of this. It merits and
lieods general support.
Washington
Column
News of Redmond, Vicinity
By Peter Edson
Washington (NEAt The re
publican party is having policy
troubles some more. Last week s
meeting of the republican national
organization strategy committee
in Washington produced lots of
harmony and a demand that some
body ought to raise $900,000 but
little else. This goose-egg per
formance tied the score with the
GOP congressional policy com
mittee actions which have so far
done nothing, too.
The republican strategy com
mittee, which mpt in Wnshlncrfnn
I at the call of National chairman
Hugh D. Scott Jr., was made up
of half a dozen elements. Repre
sentatives were there from the re
publican national committee, the
republican house committee, the
republican senatorial committee,
the republican governors, the re
publican state central committees
and national and state finance
committees.
It was apparently a case of too
many cooks to do any cooking.
All that came out was a decision
to do something later on. So any
one holding his breath to find out
what the new and revitalized
party now stands for, might as
well relax. Policy decisions, It is
now announced, are to- be worked
out at a series of regional confer
ences.
A session on the problems of In
dustry and taxation, to be held in
New England some time, was
talked about but not decided on.
Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine is
strong for this one.
The idea of having a midwest
farm policy conference did take
hold. It will probably be held in
Des Moines in September. The
Idea is to see if something can't
be worked out at the grass roots
level to help the republicans get
oacK me iarm vote.
The idea of having one big na
tional republican convention Just
before the 1952 congressional elec
tions was apparently killed for
good. '
This ties in with sentiment from
one wing of the party leadership,
to the effect that the republicans
already have a good enough plat
form. The reference is to the
platform adopted at Philadelphia
last June. This platform has
never been used, according to one
somewhat cynical view, and they
migm as wen try to get some
good out of it instead of starting
from scratch to build a new one.
The stunned house republicans
who came back to Washington
last January started ngnt in to set
up a new kind of policy commit
tee. Great things were exDected
of it. So far it has held about
three meetings and made one pol
icy pronouncement, t his was an
unequivocal stand against excise
taxes on transportation and lux
ury goods. The Issue hasn't come
up yet, but It's one of republican
minority leader Joe Martin's pet
projects.
The senate republican policy
committee under Robert A. Taft
of Ohio has of late distinguished
itself only by a couple of violent
rows over public welfare legisla
tion and the whole Truman legis
lative program in general.

national organization strategy
committee, which was created by
