than he nas been aoie to.. 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. Under existing expects-
Hons thev will not turn out to be
"St, should mean to th, m.J
in the street Is that most of the yell- I
inc latolv on all sides as to the con-
dltlon oi the treasury is atmospher-
Ic static: that the treasury condition j
Is less than two-thirds as bad as Mr,
Roosevelt last December anonunccd It
would be.
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.

P,T. A. 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

Hot Shot at New Deal
WASHINGTON. April 11. (JF)
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today con
tradicted the contentions of Dr. WIN
Ham A. Wirt that the subsistence
homestead project at Reedsvllle, W.
Va.. Is "a- communistic effort."
The wife of the President gave her
views ln response to questions at a
White House conference with news
paper women.
A while before, Dr. Wirt on a visit
at the Capitol had been told the
house investigating committee desir
ed no further testimony from him.
and he was free to return to his Gary,
Ind., home.
Resume Quiz Tuesday.
The Inquiry will resume next Tues
day with the appearance of the six
persons named by Wirt as having at
tended a September dinner In Vir
ginia, at which he testified he heard
talk of revolutionary plotting.
Some of those named by him hava
denied that conversations related by
him took place.
Mrs. Roosevelt said today:
"Never ln this country, to my
knowledge, has It been considered
communlstlo for an opportunity 4o
be given to people to earn their own
living and own their houses."
She added that while It la a fact
that the government will protlde the
Initial capital on this particular proj
ect, any private enterprise that wishes
to do so may establish the same sort
of communities.
"It Is hoped that many enterprises
will wish to do It," she declared.

In response to further questions.
Mrs. Roosevelt said that quite a num

nipped in the bud by congressional
action forbidding the postal depart
