WHAT IS TAKING PLACE BY. UNITED STATES SBlAim . .It is too early to anticipate the - It cod In reshaping Federal programs , ; ana reaenu activities in tne light or tne brighter economic ikies that have followed in the wake of depression storms. However, there is every in- Ocatlon that, the Congress will siva more than usual study to each re commendation that may call for larg er expenditures, increased activity -and new functions of government.. Evidence of this is already avail' ;ible in the form of the unprecedent ed interest in the estimates of income . un expenditures tne f ederal oua- .get submitted to the Congress by te president. Thus ft -is obvious that expenditures must be justified . on the basis of the contribution they will make to the public welfare. Predictions of a. ''rubber; stamp" congress by reason of the sweeping jtoh of the President last Novem- tl ber, and the top-heavy Democratic majorities In both Houses are not borne ont by developments to date; The Budget The Federal budget .for' the JiKal year.1937, as submitted byttbe President, calls for expendi Uttrea of roughly $65 for each ' man, woman and child in the United States. It also V calls for taxes in amount of $45, on the average, for very individual,' adults and young sters. The difference of $20 repre sents the deficit. Let's look at the budget another way. John Jones can maintain his family budget and keep income and expenditures balanced so long as the latter adhere rigidly to the budget But if some mishaps befall the Jones family,-requiring unusual expenses, the head of the household has to bor row. From then on, income musj; be increased or expenditures slashed, else the budget loses caste. That is what happened to the Federal budget. In the absence of adequate income to cover the emer gency outlay and in the face ot maintenance of regular expenditures, there has been a deficit. In other words, multiply the Jones problem about three million times and you have a picture of the Federal situa tion, which, however, is getting bet ter as regards increasing revenues. time Federal ' agencies submitted estimates of expenditures and Con gress raised or cut these estimates. However, since the creation of the Budget Bureau, it acts as a coordi jiating agency for assembling data on required Federal expenditures. H is up to Congressional committees to hold hearings and recommend actual expenditures the amounts for each Federal : agency. Every reasonable effort is made to see that -these appropriations-are based on the needs of the people. ' Rigid adherence to budget lines from 1983 to the pre sent has been, of course, impossible in the light of public needs. ? The real question is whether the expenditures, dollar and dime, have been wisely handled with the max! mum good for the greatest number. 'Congress Rural-Minded No better evidence of the fact that the new Seventy-fifth Congress is rural -am nd ed can be found than the fifty-one members proudly proclaim that they were "born on a farm." Still others were born on farms but fait to record it in their biographies. Small towns predominate in the list of home resi dences of members of Congress. This rural-mindedneas, which au gurs well for those who till the soil aad deserve the most sympathetic understanding of Congress in this day of chains, mergers, and crowded ur ban areas, partly explains why near ly one-eighth of Federal expenditures in 1938 were aimed at farm -relief and to improve rural conditions. Federal Reorganisation Perhaps the most significant development in the recent Congress is the wholesale Federal reorganisation program sub mitted by the President The ' pri mary purpose of the, 'reorganization, which calls for two new -.cabinet posts, is to promote efficiency in the administration of government affairs. various r uronosals. may insist on 1 w economy ' as ' well The outlook is favorable for some government re organization, but there is a question whether the Congress will permit the executive branch to absorb some agencies that .were created ;' by and are responsible to ingress. -iue General Accounting .

Increase Payments In Conservation Program An increase of five per cent in the rate of diversion payments to North Carolina farmers who parti cipated in the 1936 soil-conservation program has been announced by J. F. Criswell, of State College. The increase will tend to offset the cost of administering the pro jrram, so that in most counties farm era will receive the full amount of their payments as originally sche duled, he stated. Under provisions of the . program, farmers were to receive certain pay- The $8,000,000,000 budget for the! ments for diverting land from soil- fiscal year 1937. is around $3,000,000,- depletmg to soil-conserving crops. 000 above the 1932 level, due to re-1 From these payments, administration lief expenditures, farm-aid, adjusted compensation for veterans, Social Security, recovery programs and so on. The 1937 total may be raised or lowered by the Congress as hearings are held on various appropriation " bills. Have these increased expend! tares been justified? Congress will decide. ' President's Views President Roosevelt's thoughts on the subject can best be expressed in his own words as follows: : "The programs inaugurated during the last four yean to combat the de gression and to initiate many needed reforms have cost large 1 sums of money, but the ; benefits obtained from them are far outweigfating all their costs. We shall ebon be reap ing the toll benefits of those pro Crams and shall -have at the same time m balanced budget that will also include provision for reduction of the public debt i The fiscal plans of the. Federal Government for : these four years tiave been formulated with two ob jectives in mind. Our first was to restore a successful economic life to the country, by providing greater em ployment and purchasing power for the .people, by stimulating a more balanced use of our, productive capa city, and by increasing th national income and distributing it oh a wid er base of. prosperity. - Our second was to gain -new advantages of per manent value for the American peo ple. V Both of these objectives can be accomplished' under a sound financial policy. ,y'v?; rtf'tf'- -1 ''Business conditions ; have shown ach year . since .1933 , - marked im provement over the preceding year.

'- Sure , Recovery Sigii -r' Whatever may be the final appropriations for .'Federal operations, one sure sign of recovery is the estimated increase of : L712J)00,000 In Federal v taxes for 'tthe fiscal year 1937 as compared to il936. This increase is, ; of course, predicted on the maintenance of pre- eent tax rates, and reenactment of the long list of excise And So-called Nuisance taxes scheduled to expire in - "Jag Of BubgetaWhile there sndous interest in imdget-ba-,V few people realize that the 1 Government operated :, for ' -1 a ctury wi- -t a bud- costs in each county were to be de ducted. The administration expenses in various counties range from around three to six per cent of the growers' payments, Criswell ' added. This amount took care of the expenses of county committeemen and of carry ing on compliance work. f. In counties where administration costs are only three or four per cent or the total amount of payments, he i-ent on, growers will ireeeivs one to two per cent more than the amount originallyvoffered. ..That K if grower was to have gotten $100 in payments, the five per cent increaae would raise the amount to $105..

At least half of its rural customers use less than 50 k. w. h Jones stated, v .' ;"The3e homes; could have better lights and, mora electrical appliances without paying any more for current he pointed out V ', i i 4 . Instead of using 25 or 40 watt light bulbs, as some 'farm families do, they could use 60, 76, or ICO-watt lairds for the same cost " Bulbs are inexr iiwlve, and the better bulla wcuIJ only be mttirj use cf rrr:-i Natural , CFzitean .

Even when better bulbs and extra equipment increase the electric bill a small amount each month, the better light and increased enjoyment of electrical conveniences is more than worth the added cost, he continued. Jones also said that although 6,558 miles of new power lines have been proposed to serve 30,434 rural cus tomers, the actual number who re ceive the service may be somewhat less, as a certain percentage of the families fail to wire their homes after power has been made available in their communities. Poultry Flocks Lay More Eggs Per Bird An average increase 01 27 eggs per bird in the annual production of demonstration poultry flocks in North Carolina has been noted during the past nine years.
