BUDGET CUT
FAVORED BY
Mayor Would Have Down

ment After Meeting With
Citizens' Committee
$33,000 Slash in Tenta
tive Expense List Will Be
Recommended.
"I am in favor of downward re
vinion nil the time, of city expenses
and opposed to a revision upward
unlcsH absolutely necessary," said'
Mayor A. AV. Pipes this noon, fol
lowing an informal meetiiiK held
by members of the citizens budget
committee with himself this fore
noon, at whicrh they decided to lop
rf $3:UNM from the , tentative
budget of $157,000 for the city's
expenses for next- year that was
prepared and placed before the
first meeting of the budget com
mittee with the city council two
weeks ago. This, if finally adopt
ed would make the levy a little
less than last year.
The big slices decided on at this
forenoon'H informal meeting, and
which all present agreed to favor
tonight, according to the mayor,
at the joint meeting of the
citizens committee ana tiie council
to decide on the budget for next
year, will be interesting news to
the taxpayers.

VI am determined that tho, levy
should be less than last year,1' con
tinued : Mayor Pipes, "and will
work to accomplish that result,"
1 The .-ci-tisens; committee (thls
jnorhlng informally made drastic;
cuts , in' practically ' every depart
ment of the city,, and this tentative
lopping off of $33,000 from the
original tentative budget of ex
penses submitted two weeks ago,
will work no hardship in conduct
ing the , affairs of the etty, the
hfaydr said. ' The street od road

commission has asked for.
Fire Jopt. Cut
Tho fire department also -.suffered
severely- in the slicing pro
cess. The $$3300 item for tho pro
posed building of a new city park
on Hoxy Anno was left in the
parks department fund of ex
penses, not necessarily to be used
for that specific purpose. It is
understood that at the informal
meeting this forenoon the possibil
ity of using the money for making
a city park along Hear creek was
discussed. Anyhow the $$3300
item wns left in the tentative
budget for the park department to
be expended in the way the people
should decide. v
In view of tho tentative budget
decided on at today's informal
meeting with Its drastic cuts
amounting to $$33,000 which will
be submitted to the formal meet
ing of the citizens' budget meeting
tonight with the city council, last
year's budget figures are Interest
ing. The levy of last year was for
a little more than 19 mills, and
tho total budget was $$139,288.
Of this $33,785 was voted tot the
general bund fund.

uleDiversity of Opinion
Shows Need of Flexible
Clause, Presidential View
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.
Senator Joues ot Washington, act
ing Republican leader of the sen
ate, said today administration regu
lars should allow the : coalition of
Democrats and western Kepubllcans
to proceed with the' writing ot the
tariff bill and let the measure go
to conference.
. WASHINGTON, Oet.,,31.r (P)
A statement was issued at the
While House today, explaining that
President Hoover,. in. u conference
with senatap leaders-, last ' 'night,
urged the .expedition and- early
completion pf the schedules in the
tariff, bill so the revenue measure
could be.sentto a conference with
the house .-within-'two wfeks.' '
..The announcement sald't:the
president had tdld the leaders
that the, wide difference of opin
ion and the length of discussions
In the . senate ".were themselves
ample demonstration of the deslru
blllly of a real flexible clause in
order that Injustice in rates could
be promptly corrected by scien
tific and Impartial investigation
and put in action without such
delays as the present discussions
give proof. y i
The text of the statement fol
lows: "The president was visited yes
terday by a number of senators,
all of whom called at their own
suggestions, and presented to him
the grave situation that has arisen
by delnys In tariff legislation.
Action Trucking. .
' They called attention to tho
fact that the senate has had tho
tariff bill since June, with , lu
schedules to . work out, and has
not yet completed schedule on.
It was pointed -out that a large
amount of Important legislation
must be undertaken at tho regular
session which would.be prevented
by carrying the debate into the
next session.
"Some of the senators considered
progress hopeless as ft appeared to
them that the coalition Intended to
delay or defeat legislation, or dirt
not intend to give adequate pro
tection to industry. Others felt
that some understandings should
be attempted among senate lead
ers by which the bill could be sent
into conference with the houso at
nn early date.
Carry Out Ii"onii!os.
"The president said, as ho has
uniformly stated his position, that
campaign promises should bo car
ried out by which adequate pro
tection should be given to agri
culture and to the Industries where
the changes In economic situa
tion demand their assistance. Ho
stated that he could not believe
and, therefore, wulti not admit
that the United States senate wan
unable to legislate and that the
Interests of the country required
that legislation should be com
pleted during the special session.
"The president has declined to
Interfere or to express any opin
ion on the details nf rates or any
compromise thereof, nn It Is ob
vious that, If for no other reason,
he could not pretend to have the
necessary Information in respect to
many thousands of different com
modities which such determination
requires."

31. I knew they would find
Hint RO-cnlled lost plnne in
Arizona. Let mo tell you
something about those trans
continental air lines as they
are conduct
ed today.
Getting t o
the destina
tion don't
mean any
thing. It is
the safety of
the passenger that is their
whole consideration. ( In the
lust few weeks I have made
two trips trt the east and
hack on both the Western
Air Express and the Trans
continental Air Transport.
One time they set us down
in Amarillo when there was
had weather ahead in Wioh
4tn, Kas., 300 miles away,
and it's the same with Jill
organized passenger lines all
over this country.- If there
is a safer mode of transpor
tion I have never found it.
Kven horseback I got bucked
off the other day.
Yours,
WILL' ROGERS.
