WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. President
I Roosevelt la not ducking New Year's
prophesies because he Is glum.
The truth Is he la very optimis
tic. His own private economic sooth
sayers have told (hlm the prospects
of better business are excellent for
the coming year. They are banking
heavily on an unexpectedly strong
spring rise.
Their own rock bottom estimate Is
that the average for 1034 should be
at least 10 to 15 per cent better
than this year.
Reasons
Those predictions will never get
Into print officially. Word has been
passed down to government officials
that they must suppress their ln
WRrd prophetical urges, and. If they
cannot master them entirely, for
heaven'a sake keep their optimism
under control.
The cue for them was furnished
by, the president himself In his reg
ular chat with newsmen early this
week. He said he noticed that all
the private prophet are foreseeing
bigger and better thlnga for 1034,
but that they have been wrong so
often, he did not Intend to Join
them.
He could have added that most of
the government officials who tried
to enter the field of prophesy ex
perienced Just about the same lack
of success as Mr. Hoover did with
jhls "around the corner" statementa.
Two moat notable examples are the
lavish predictions made early In the
game by officials In charge of the
NRA and PWA.
Facts
The best of business prophesies
are nothing more than expert guesses.
Too many things can happen which
it Is Impossible to foresee In ad
vance. At present the "economic 'experts
think tftey can see that spring rise
very clearly. They are as aure of It
as they are that the flowers win
eome. Beyond spring no one can
see. with any degree of accuracy.
The only real danger slgnsls now
flvlng concern financing, Dotn puo
llo and nrlvate. Nearl a billion
and a half of corporate bonda (most.
ly public utilities) will have to be
refinanced during tne coming year,
That Is exclusive of railroad bonds,
with which tie government Is try
ing to lend a hand.
The extent of government financ
ing Is indeterminate. There Is an
underlying fear In some places that
In the coming session congress rill
try to spend too much, hoping to
fores Inflation that way.
The climax on these matters will
hsrdly be reached before April.
Midwinter Dreaming
TSe administration Is veering
around on Its budget publicity. At
first It talked, optimistically about
j the expected billion dollar surplus
In the regular budget. Now It Is
talking pessimistically about a bil
lion dollar deficit to be expected In
both budgets.
It Is really the same song sung
In two different keys.
The truth Is that the budget Is
written In such a flexible manner
thst you can make music out of It
In nearly any key. Like Piccolo
' Joe. It can sing a hPgh note as
well as a low one.
The latest version prescribes that
a distinction be made between ap
propriations and actual expenditure.,.
Instead of counting tfie PWA at
three billions, you count only what
the PWA will actually spend before
June SO next year. ThRt Is fair and
loslcal. but very confusing. It will
cut the total expected deficit, but
no one will know how much until
next June 30.
It Is further proof that the only
accurate way to consider the gov
ernment financial situation now Is
to look at commitments and expecta
tions broadly over a period of years.
The yearly budget Is only one cor
ner of the full picture.
Glowering
The NRA and CWA officials are
glowering at each other backstage.
The atorlea that leaked out only par
tially described the real feeling about
the CWA paying higher wages than
the NRA codes provided.
The NRA conducted a survey and
found that In nearly every rase ex
amined the CWA wace scale was
higher for a particular type of work
than the minimum In the codes. The
CWA people say the Industrialists told
the NRA that, and It Is not true.
Nevertheless Johnson announced he
had submitted a memo to the presi
dent. The split Is serious, so serious that
the old rumors are going around
again that General Johnson will leave
th NRA within a month or two. He
Is the most resigned man In the ad
ministration since Wllllsm Woodln
unofficially resigned the. treasury Job.
Like the Woodln story, this one
will some day come true.

Hlghllghts of the liquor clean
up campaign are:
"The Valley View," a roadhouse,
has closed Its doors, and retired
from business, capt. Lee M. Bown
and Sheriff Walter J. Olmscheld
said, following a visit to several
resorts. The authorities report
that they "have reliable Informa
tion" others will follow Suit.
Sheriff Olmscheld and District
Attorney George A. Codding, re
quest the co-operation of par
ent In warning their children to
stay away from questionable
places aa they may be subject
to arrest for sale to, or posses
sion by minors. Complaint have
been filed that young girls and
boys were frequenting "Joints."
The clean-up Is directed against
the sale of "hard liquor" by the
glajs, and moonshine and alcohol
and all other Illicit liquor.
Beer and wine, within the law,
and drugstore liquor beating gov
ernment stamps, and complying,
with state and city regulations are
not affected.
Captain Bown a t a t e d, "All
Joins operating Illegally will be
closed, and those who do remain
open, legally, will be regulated."
The sheriff, district attorney,
city police and state police are
co-operating In the enforcement
of the law.
Notice was served upon all speak
easy, roadhouse, and resort operators
in Jackson county, city and coun
try, to cease the illicit sale of liquor
immediately or face prosecution un
der the Knox liquor control law. The
warnings- were given Saturday after
noon and last night by state and city
police, and the sheriff.
Prosecution will be under the Knox
law. The fact the law Is being con
tested In the courts, In certain par
ticulars, does not bar enforcement or
give the right to sell liquor without
restrictions or license, state, city, or
federal.
At a meeting held Friday between
District Attorney George A. Codding,
the chiefs of police of Ashland and
Medford, Sheriff Walter J. Olmscheld
and the state police, a plan of cam
paign was mapped.
Repeal came December 6, and since
then many new "wet spots" have
opened in the county, where liquor
is dispensed by the drink to all com

THRILL - OF YEAR
NFW YORK, Dec. 30. (AP) Alfred
E. Smith he was 60 today eat at
his desk- and pondered over the most
pleasing thing In the years gone by.
Suddenly he smiled, his eyes twink
led and he leaned forward, behind
a huge birthday cake:
"It was Utah's vote on prohibition
repeal!"
Then, turning to sertoxis subject,
the former governor of New York
and Democratic presidential nominee
In 192B discussed business condi
tions. He's an editor, banker and
businessman now.
"There's been a derided improve
ment In the last month," he said.
"And I'm looking forward to a still
better rise beginning with the new
year."
Repeal of prohibition and the gen
eral restoration of purchasing power
were the principal reasons for the
Improvement, said Smith who came
to his office wearing his famous
brown derby, ruddy complexloned and
"hoping to God I live to be 90."
His quick response to a question
as to the reason for restoration of
purchasing power was:
"Why. to the operation of natural
economic lawa' he paused "and un
questionably to the reduction of hours
brought about by the national In
dustrial recovery act and to the fix
ation of minimum wages.
"And now politics It out of the
window," he said, passing out cigars

Large Banks Protest
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (AP)
President Roosevelt tonight Issued a
proclamation returning to state bank
ing authorities full control over state
banka not members of the federal
reserve system.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 30. (AP) A
gratifying Jump In deposits, more as
sets and a higher total of loana were
reported for the national banka of
the country tonight by the treaa
ury. t
While officials made ready to put
the
icaerui aeposlt insurance ava-
tem in operation three daya hence,
tney announced figures compiled
from the bank call of October 36
and aald that as compared with the
laat auch tabulation on June 30,
virtually all Itema changed In the
flrat direction.
Between those two datca, deposits
Increased 281,093,000 to reach a to
tal of 17,058,208,000. Assets rose
from 30.860,000.000 to 31,108,49r.
000. Loans and discounts were 140.
085,000 higher, the total being 8,S57,
037.000. The figure!, were on a basla
of 6,057 banka operating unrestrict
edly October 35 compared with 4,003
June 30.
The depoelt insurance plan will be
come effective Tuesday and from
then until July 1 all deposit to a.
maximum of 3,500 will be guaran
teed In full by a fund made up of
assessments upon the banka with a
sum of 160,000,000 added by Vie
government. After July 1, deposits
to a maximum of 110.000 will be In
sured In full, from 10,000 to 50,000
wlir be guaranteed 75 per cent and
above that 60 per cent ,
Despite the adverse criticism of
bankers, those in charge of the de
posit Insurance were enthualastlo
about Its prospects for bettering eco
nomic conditions. Walter J. Oum
mlngs, chairman of the Insurance
corporation, naa said he believed 1
would serve to Increase deposits and
loans with the banka freed from all
fear of runs.
The banks, however. Dartleuiariv
the larger ones, have expressed Wit)
leenng mat it waa an Imooaltlon
to aaaeae them' for money which
would be paid to depositors of some
Institution less efficiently conducted.
One bank In Chicago has refused to
participate and its case has not been
disposed of. The law requires that
all national banka and members of

participants.
