HENDERSON, N.

Va.. April 27. (API As the "sure highway to national recov ery," President Hoover cited to the governor's conference today the "ab solute necessity of seduced expendi tures, better distributed taxation and balanced budgets on the part of gov ernments. Town councils, county commissions and State legislatures are agreed on this fundamental, he said, but to ac complish them "we must have the in telligent support of the people them selves that selfish veted interests and vested habile do not by their or ganized sectional and group opposi tion and individual action defeat these higher purposes." Expressing a wish for greater co operation toward settling governmen! problems, he suggested that the gov ernors sponsor in their states such conferences as they have been hold’- ing here. Having the local executives c:*amin<3 their difficulties together, he said, would help toward a realiza lion that local expenditures and taxes are a part of a great national pro blem In stability, as well as one of local concern. Stressing the need for adjustment, the President told of Federal States and local government expenditures rising from $2,900,000,000 in 1913 to $13,200,000,000 in 1930. and the totai outstanding debt growing from $4.- H 00,000.000 to $30,600,000,000 in the same etime. Before the war, the total governmental cost represented but eight percent of the national income, and Mr. Hoover estimated the pre sent proportion at above 20 percent. "We cannot restore economic stab ility in the nation by continuing to siphon so large a part of private ef fort into the coffers of the govern ment," he said. "Its abstraction from the people stifles the productivity, the consumption and the recovery of em ployment.” Crusade Reporter Shot from Ambush ‘And Badly Injured Canton. Ohio.
