WASHINGTON". June 16. where
the government and the country are
going Is a subject upon which every
3: mi
va
man seems to have
arylng opinions.
The composite
view ot those here
who know as
much about It at
anyone may be
e x p r e ssed objec
tively as follows:
I 'Sa'iaJ Mr. - B. used to
I NSv I call himself quar-
I xfeL Iterback. His sys-
K aTS tiH was to call
"tF.VIL MALLON one play around
the ''Slit wing, then one around the
left. .'., also bucked center. Since
re-electiVn however, all his plays
hsve been -t tho left. He hat Indi
cated thlt tt-rtdency will continue.
No appreciable ..'Imitation of spend
ing Is In prospect' Im"! the treas
ury runs Into more bond, troubles.
Present plan Is to switch money
saved from shrinkage of relief ne
cessities Into other fields, notably
trmy, navy, merchant marine, houa
lng. slums clearance, etc. The differ
ence to the taxpayers will not be
noticeable.
A wages and hours law will past.
The national labor relation! board
will get hard-bollcd. Farm produc
tion control and price control meas
ures will continue In some form,
ven though the pending farm bill
falls to pass.
1 Alt In all. It means further cen
tralization of authority over every
thing from Washington a clear, but
bumpy, road ahead from the Roose
velt viewpoint, with some dangerous
curves to be traveled. There will be
no end to It- It will Just go on and
on until It crackt up or la cruanea,
Reform movements can never stop.
The question of the future Is
whether Mr. Roosevelt and John
Lewis will be able to control the
laboring mtss enthusiasm they have
encouraged. Pew authorities believe
they can, without further leglsla
tlon.
What Is generally expected la this:
The C. I. O. will devote the next tlx
to ten months to fighting and or
ganizing, through which It will gain
leadership over most of the labor
the country. That Lewie or even the
president can handle thlt leadership
under their present loose authority

tlon program.
The ballot contains two proposi
tions on which Jht citizens will vote
separately. One ballot title pertains
to the bond lesue and the other to
the special tax levy.
While cltlzent may vote for one
proposition end against the other,
the two are linked in the general
repair and reconstruction program.
The bond issue Is Intended to
raise funds Immediately for the re
pair of paved streets thlt season to
that the program. If approved, might
be suited before the streets are

The special tax levy It designed
to raise revenue to continue the re
pair and reconstruction program over
a period of years.
Tho two proportions are combined
to place the reptlr program on prac
tically a pay-aa-you-go basis, tt wst
explained by Frtnk P. Parrell, city
attorney
Th council made It evident when
It adopted the plan to be voted on
tomorrow that It did not want to
Increase the city's bonded Indebted
ness. It was Indicated that the pro
posed $50,000 bond issue would De
of short-term maturity and would
be retired over a period of a few
yeara Then continuance of the re
pair program under the apeclal csx
levy would be strictly on a pay-ss-you-g
basis.
It Is estimated that the special
levy rvf two mills on the dollar would
raise ebout $15,000 or $16,000 a year
to carry on the proposed program
over a five-year period. Meantime the
ordinary reduction In the city's gen
eral oonded Indebtedness would, for
all practical purposes, keep the en
tire repair and reconstruction pro
ject on a psy-as-you-go basis. The
two ballot proposltlonji therefore, are
Integra) parts of one program. Mr.
Parrell emphasized.
It : the council's hope thtt oe
fore the 'ive-yetr period It up. tne
special tax levy may be eliminated
