Presi dent Roosevelt has repeatedly shaken nls fiscal linger at congress thl6 session, it is aw forefinger t h a t he alwava uses In budget argu ments when he really me ana k...ln - With It i he nas laid down- the law that no extra expendi tures can be made unless con gress proposes to raise the extra money by taxes. PAUL MALLON That la final. He stressed It In his budget message, his bonus veto, his seed loan veto and his most recent tax message. Congress understood It perfectly until a few days ago. Since then there has been a little confusion. Orders came privately from the White House to let the 420.O0O,OOU Morris rural electrification compro mise go through. There was really no great objec tion to lending government money for the building of rural electric lines. The Norrls bill probably rep resented a good Idea. But what stumped those many congressmen who are not In the know la how come it becomes the only exception to the economy rule. In fact, the matter has stumped a good many congressional leaders who know the Ins and outs of It. The simple explanation, they say. Is that Senator George NorrlBjcan gt anything, he wants out of Frank Roosevelt. And they say It In a slightly resentful tone. Implying that they cannot. ' :k When George started pushing the bill. Frank said nothing for a while. The money involved then was about a billion dollars for a 10-year pro gram. This was obviously too much to be excused as a minor exception during an economy drive. In ordi nary circumstances It would have been passed like the aso.000.000 seed loan bill and Mr. Roosevelt would have had to veto It. But In the midst of senate de bate. Prank called George In for a conference with Budget Director Director Dannie (Bell.) They worked out a way to get around Franks budgetary objections. They sliced the amount about In halt and ar ranged to tap the RFC for the money. , t .... Thua It will not show against the budget. The curtailment apparently was all right with Norrle. Expert say that not even the curtailed amount will or can be loaned for the elec trification purposes In the next few years at least. They believe Insuffic ient demand exists. For that reason, and others, the bill has come to be known facetiously In congress as Mr. Roosevelt's present to Senator Nor- Kitv.thiM anniversary ria on . of the Nebraskan's honest and noble congressional career.
