I He promised he would spend $7,-! 800,000,000 before the end of ,hls first fiscal year. June 30, ln emergency relief measures. So far, he has been unable to spend $3,000,000,000. There are two reasons for that. The main one is that Public Works Di rector Ickes has strained and grim-, aced. Theoretically, all his $3,000, 000.000 fund Is gone. But it Is not being spent. It has only been allot ted. The other reason Is the CWA. The cost there has been below estimates. When you put Mr. Roosevelt's two budgets together, you can see that he expected to have his total cost of government this fiscal year amount to $10,500,000,000. At the rate he Is going, the actual cost to be expected at the end of the fiscal year, Juno 30. Is about $6. '500,000. 000. His regular budget of running ex penses will Just about balance, des pite the veterans and pay restora tions. Assertions now being made that congressional action threw the budget out of lino are not Justified by the figures. The nmount Involved Is not sufficient to have any Influ ence on the general budget set-up. The amount of money coming In la satisfactory. It Is running at Just about the rate on which the budget estimates were based. Up to April 1, the Income tax brought $690,000,000 clinking Into the till. You can ex pect about $250,000,000 from that cource In April, May and June. Considerable applAuse has been wasted on the fact that March in come tax returns were 28 per cent above last year. That Is true, but it is also true that the returns were 1 considerably (not slightly, as adver- .tlsed) below what had been expected It means that Income receipts will run short of the budget estimate of $864,000,000. The miscellaneous taxes brought in 92 per cent more this March than last, but that Is no surprise. A fair guess would be that about $370,000, 000 will come in during the next three months. Therefore, you can expect that the miscellaneous taxes will bring In a little more than the budget estimate by June 30. These figures are neither exact nor official, but they are sufficiently 1 good guesses to warrant emphatic j conclusions.

It means further that Mr. Roose velt s eventual budget balancing in tentions will not work out. A large portions of what he Is unable to : r .... sper.d this yrar must be spent next; yea:, because It is already allotted and appropriated. Thus his deficit next year will be above his expecta tions, possibly three to four billions above, although It Is to early to tell about that yet. There are Inner Indications that Mr. Roosevelt has already begun to worry about that subject. His next year's (beginning July 1) budget ts framed. Congress already has passed most of the appropriation bills for it. His elforts probably will be direc ted energetically toward balancing the the budget the following year, as promised, but how he la poinft to do it no one knows. It depends entirely upon relief demands. ITie deficits, of course, go on the debt and will have to be paid off eventually. The feiiste got Its wires crossed romp'etelv on the tax bill.

(AP) The Democrats watched the count of pri mary votes today with the belief that their party had emerged as the ma jority party of the state. Incomplete returns indicated that, for the first time ln the state's his tory, the Democrats had "outvoted" the Republicans In a primary. Returns from 6000 of the state's 7363 precincts indicated the Repub licans had polled only about half as many votes as ln 1030 or ln 1932. In 1032, when the parties picked candidates for governor, the Republi can vote was 1.314,245. The best the Democrats could do was 816,773. BY HOUSE TO SENATE WASHINGTON, April 11. (AP) the house.

HEAD SAYS SALES TAX ONLY EOF Continually Increasing Debt Will Lower Standards Says Mrs. Kletzer, Here . to Attend County Meet The schools of Oregon will be in Jeopardy as long as the real property must bear the burden of their sup port. Their doors are open today be cause there la no law ln this state restricting the extent of Indebtedness to be Incurred by school d lstrlcts. That debt cannot be Increased year after year, however, without antici pation of a lowering of educational standards always at the expense of the child such was the explanation of Oregon's school crisis brought .to Medford today by Mrs. William Klet zer, president of the State Parent Teacher asoclatlon, who Is attending the all-day meeting of the county Parent-Teacher council at Eagle Point. Extending her sympathies to tho child, the teacher and the farm, upon which she spent many years of her life in Douglas county, Mrs. Kletzer voiced an appeal for passage of the sales tax, as the only workable piece of legislation which will bring Imme diate relief to all the three. Oregon One of Few. "Oregon is one of the few states In the Union which Is not giving state relief to her schools to equalise their support," she added In explana tion of her stand. "Oregon and Kan sas appear at the bottom of the list. Kansas has the greatest number of closed schools In the nation. Ore gon's. ;.aohool are open?, beoause- dis tricts may Incur unlimited det anl issue warrants to their teachers, which must be cashed at a great discount, or not at all. The ' debt Incurred must be paid some time. It will take years for ths districts to evolve from this state of Indebtedness and with the strenuous payment will come a lowering of edu cational standards at a time when we cannot afford to lose any services of the schools." In explanation of the last state ment, Mrs. Kletzer added, "The crime wave, which Is extending through the nation and into our own ft ale. h startling. The annual cost of crime to the nation la thrlteen billion dol lars annually, acording to figures re leased by the Daughters of 1812. The Idle child Is a dangerous child, through no fault of his own. "This year 100,000 more children were denied all educational oppor tunities because of closed schools. Dangers Realized. "The Parent-Teacher association realizes that the schools will be In Jeopardy as long at real property must bear the burdn of their srp port." The Pa rent -Teacher committee, t'le president of the organization review ed, spent many long hours scanning all bills offered at tho special ses sion of the legislature.
