Senate Remains Independ

By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
i Washington. Jan. 7.—The generally
accepted idea (outside Washington)
undoubtedly is that a bill, once intro
: duced in Congress, is voted on, first
! one house, then by the other; that
i ordinary folk are informed thus as
to the respective sides that their va
rious representatives have taken on
each succeeding measure—permitting
constituencies, here, there and every
where throughout the country, to re
buke those lawmakers who have vot
ed unpopularly, by defeating them for
re-election.
This supposition is largely correct
! as to the Senate.
It by no means is correct as to the
lower congressional chamber.

Washington, Jan. 7.—(AP)—Presi
dent Roosevelt submitted to Congress
today a budget calling for total ex
penditures of $8,520,413.(109 for the fis
cal year beginning next July 1, offset
by estimated total receipts of $3,991 -
904.639.
This would mean a deficit of $4,-
528,508.970 for the period and push
the public debt to an alltime high of
$34,239,000,000 on June 30, 1936.
The message said the new deficit,
would be financied by using the $739,-
835.188 out of the working balance in
the Treasury and 'borrowing $3 788,-
623.782.
It estimated expenditures for the
present fiscal period would total SB.-
581.069.026. with receipts of $3,711.-
650.688, resulting in a deficit of $4.~
869.418.338 for the year ending June
30, and a public debt on that day of
$31,000,000,000.
Mr Roosevelt said the tax estimates
wore contingent upon continuation of
the three-cent postal rate for non
local first class mail.
The document, read separately to
Senate and House, was wound up bv
him as follows:
