Democrats In both the house and
senate planned to seek to balance
the budt through enactment of the
beer bill, continuation of the federal
gasoline tax and economls. Houie
chieftains apparently had taken the
attitude that If any additional Ira-1
posts were to be levied at this ses
sion, this would be done In the sen
ate as amendments to the beer bill.
During his appearance before the
ways and means committee on the
beer bill. Secretary Mills predicted
a $307,000,000 deficit In the treas
ury for the fiscal year provided the
9500,000,000 In economies recom
mended by President Hoover were
adopted and the foreign debtors paid
the s339.000.0O0 in interest and prin
cipal payments due during the com
ing 13 months period.
PeMs Coming Due
During the next few years the fed
eral treasury will be confronted by
the problem of refinancing of 7.
000.000.000 in maturing public debt
obligations.
Mills told the ways and means
committee that a balanced budget
would facilitate the refinancing of
these obligations and indicated It
would be difficult to carry this out
if the budget were not brought into
balance.
One proposal the ways and means
committee Is to study la a plan by
Senator Byrnes of South Caroline to
separate from the budget the finan
cing of all self-liquidating federal
construction activities.
It Involves the issuance of amort
ization bonds for this construction.

Legion Auxiliary
(By Mn. Cole Holmes)
The American Legion Sewing club
met Monday evening, December 19th,
In the welfare rooms above the Med-
fcrd National bank. There were Just '
a few members present but several
f.owns and dresses were made that
evening and several articles were
taken out by the members to finish
at home. The next meeting will be
in January and will be announced
later. Mrs. Parker, welft chair'
man, has Illness in the family so
will not be able to be with us for
several week. Her committee Is
looking after the Christmas baskets
for the needy.
Our next regular meeting will be
held Monday evening. December 3d.
In the club rooms at the Armory.
It will be a short meeting as It Is
the evening of the Legion Christmas
dance. All members are urged to be
present and to go to the dance from
the meeting.
One of the Interesting points
brought out by the state officers of
the Auxiliary was the fact that the
economy league la composed of
prominent American citizens. There
are several of these league members
that are receiving pension.; from the
United States government. These
pensions range from $0000 to $24,
000 a year. Tet tr ess same citizens
object to hospitalization fnr the hell
shocked or maimed veteran and to
widows and orphans receiving a small
sum In the form of a pension from
the government.
Another Interesting point waa
brought out. The communist party
Is getting stronger each year. It is
up to us a American citizens to
see that American ideals are upheld.
In several Instances It has been
found that communistic literature
has been given out In the high
schools. Tills was the case In Port
land a few months ago. It Is our
duty to see that these radical teach'
tngs are not Instilled in the youth
of America.
The American Legion Auxiliary
takes this opportunity to wish each
and everyone of you a very merry
Christmas on this glad Christmas
day.
The National Coalatlon Society
lecture over KMED on Saturday, De
cember 24, was given by Mrs. Over-
myer. This la the last lecture to
be given by the American Legion
Auxiliary but listen in it the same
time next Saturday. December 81st.
Another patriotic organization la to
have these lectures in charge.
Any member who knows of any
member 111 or In distress la -urged
to phone Mrs. Ross, 1091-T or 640.
We are unable to keep In touch with
members unless someone notifies us
of such matters.
