MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU Of CIRCllUTION
No Mystery In It
CONCERN over President Roosevelt's seeming willing
ness to permit politics to enter the relief situation is
expressed by Raymond Clapper, the columnist, who usual
ly treats Mr. Roosevelt in sympathetic vein. Mr. Clapper,
after citing the political potentialities in sending actual
checks directly into 20,000,000 American homes, says
this:
"What i difficult to understand Is the adminis
tration's indifference to patting any curb on these .n
fluences, appearing rather to encourage them. Such
programs as these have to be accompanied by strong
national self-discipline or else the country is liable to be
trampled under the stampede to the public trough . . ."
In his wisdom as a commentator on and observer of
the national scene, Mr. Clapper should have no difficulty
in understanding the administration's attitude. Admin
istration leaders know full well the political effects of
doling out cash, and they welcome the political benefits
it brings to them, regardless of how devastating its ef
fect may be on the future of the country. For the very
reasons that have aroused the concern on the part of
Mr. Clapper, the New Dealers refuse to discourage mixing
politics and relief.
Mr. Clapper is right when he speaks of the need for
self-discipline. What the country needs is to discipline
itself to the point where it will denounce leaders who
spend recklessly to keep themselves in power. And the
denunciation had better be in the only language they
know votes.
Reasonable Prices
IN our towa public interest and community spirit are
I pointing now towards Buckaroo Days. The appear
ance of big hats on the streets Wednesday morning
symbolized the public's participation in the plans for
this celebration,-which now has become a traditional
summer event in Klamath Falls.
Veteran attendants at rodeos were generally agreed
last year that the Buckaroo Days show here was one of
the best they had ever seen. It was a program of action
that is seldom excelled in a round-up arena. There is
every reason to expect the excellence of last year's pro
gram will be repeated, if not improved upon, at the
celebration here July 3, 4 and 5.
Unfortunate factor in last year's "celebration was the
admission schedule. The public generally misinterpreted
the ticket prices, but even so, they were high. This year,
a much more reasonable price is to be charged, and at
tendance should rise to capacity status as a result.
Buckaroo Days, tried out as a Fourth of July cele
bration feature two years ago, proved popular and suc
cessful, and thus became an annual event. If the Buck
aroo Days committee makes the people of the community
feel it is their show, and a celebration worth inviting their
friends to, success of the event will be assured.
Humanizing War
WITH efforts to ."humanize" war all decent people
feel a strong sympathy. But when one reads about
it, his inclination is to ask "What's the use?"
. At conferences and in treaties nations can palaver at
length on the desirability of refraining from bombing
"open towns" and protecting civilians, old people, women
and little children from death-dealing missiles released
from the sky or from cannon mouths.
But once they get into a war, attitudes change. One
belligerent violates the code and from then on, like the
wrestling matches everything is wide open. Retaliation
is regarded as fair enough, no difference how terrible
and inhuman retaliation may be.
There is no consolation in it, but about the only thing
that can be said about it all is that war is hell, and the
fact that the world still has plenty of it, and faces pros
pects of more, is proof that civilization hasn't come
very far.
Bedouins boil pulverized coffee
in their largest pot, decant the
liquid into the next largest and
again boll It, and so on down to
their smallest pot, in which the
coffee becomes so strong that
only a few drops are served at
a time.
In Freiburg-lm-Brelsgau, Ger
many, merchants bring trout to
the housewife'! door, swimming
In a bucket of water. They slay
the purchase with a potato
masher.
It is reported that the most
common cause of accidents recent
ly has been the lack of concen
tration on the part of the driver.

WASHINGTON. June 23 Tho
" popular notion that billions
are going to flow freely from the
treasury spigot anytime soon is
not Justified by the Inside facts.
Government officials are whoop
ing up the prospect by radio. Most
of them really believe it them
selves. (Only one government
economist has even gone to the
trouble to mnke an actual chnrt
of expenditure possibilities for the
next six months and his Is not In
detail). Business is generally as
sumtng It, because twelve billions
were appropriated by congress for
that expressed purpose. Economic
authorities are accepting the as
sumption. Even Roger Babson Is
basing advice upon the official
prospect of flowing billions.
But when you get down to par
ticulars of what agency is going
to spend how much and where,
you will find the government is
just not geared to function like a
spigot. It is still the snail crawl
ing through absolutely and in-
dispensible and necessary red
tape.
In .'act, you will find the pres
ent prospect is that business pro
ceeds from the government spigot
in June may run a million dol
lars less than May. that July may
be up only about SIS millions.
Next six months now seems
likely to be only (603 millions
(not billions, more than the alx
months ending June 30.
SPENDING SVRVKV
On the assumption that govern
ment spending is the most impor
tant business story at the moment,
a careful survey was made of the
12 government agencies doing the
bulk of it. Figures of their out
lays for the past six months,
month-by-month, were obtained
and estimates for the next six
months were based on programs,
plans, possibilities or best guesses.
Roughly this first compilation
of spending-for-buslness details
showR;
WPA Has been increasing
gradually from $103 millions in
January to $156 millions in June;
will average $178 millions month
ly for the rest of the year which
will make the total outlay for the
next six months only $634 mil
lions more than the closing six
months of the year. And, of
course, WPA Is supposed to be the
largest, fastest pipeline from the
treasury to the parched business
orchard.
AAA Actually expects to spend
$31 millions lesg in the next six
moqths for soil conservation pay
meijts( It hit a high of $60 mil
lions for March and April but will
be down to $35 millions for July.
Probable outlay for the next six
months $222 millions.
PWA Can get out no more
than $100 millions total for next
six months: probably two mil
lions In July; $10 millions in Oc
tober: up to $45 millions in De
cember. Much more will be head-

this set anyway?"
lined in "authorizations" but
these estimates are good for ac
tual expenditures going into the
business stream.
CREDIT SPIGOT
Biggest working sjilgot asldo
from WPA will be commodity
credit, handling farm commodity
loans. It was down to two mil
lions In June but will work up to
a $61 millions high In November,
and its next six months will prob
ably run $138 millions over the
first halt of the yenr.
FALLING OFF
Two agencies other than AAA
actually expect' to spend less tho
next six months civilian conser
vation corps t building of barracks
has been completed) and farm se
curity administration tbig loans
will come In spring). The CCC out
lay will probably be $13 millions
less and FSA probably will be off
$10 millions.
The navy will average about $17
millions a month for construction
for the rest of the year. Social
security will put out about $25
millions a month; reconstruction
finance (this one Is Just an un
official guess in the dark) $55
millions a month; U. S. housing a
total of $50 millions for the whole
six months; national youth ad
minustratlon and federal surplus
commodities corporation astound
five millions a month each.
TOTAL PROSPECTS
The totals of the last six months
and the prospects of the coming
six months, stack up like this (In
millions of dollars):
January. $274: February, $271;
March, $330: April $336; May,
$3.12: June, $331; total, $1874.
July. $.149: August, $385; Sep
tember, $:SI: October, $413: No
vember. $479; Dccombor, $470;
totnl $2477.
While earnest acceleration may
lift these totals somewhat, you
will hardly lie utile lo stretch your
Imagination to approximate cur
rent popular notions of tho spend-liiK-for-husiucss
which is In prospect.
IS1TOH SYSTEM
So ninny people want lo see
Jesse Jones get soinn of his $1.5
billions of lire money that ho has
taken over hnlf the entire floor
of his office building to use as a
private office. Visitors are put
into individual offices In the man
ner of hotel room assignments.
Jones' secretary, William Costollo,
says: "Take Mr. Much to 905."
or "Is there anyone In 192? We
will put Mr. Not-So-Much in
there."
The guest waits In his assigned
room until Mr. Jones appears, on
bis rounds. Thus he keeps two
or three conferences going at once,
shuttling himself In and out while
the conferees are getting things
strnlchtened out In Ills liking.
It's a Utile hard on the Jones
shoe leather. If anyone could in
vent a moving floor panel which
would carry him on his rounds,
the' inventor might be able to
swing a loan from the RFC lo pro
mote It.
