UTAH News Review of Current rf Events the World Over mm e battle for reorganization of bureau and agencies and for general reduction In expenditure developed Into n partisan struggle in congress with President Hoovers proposals under attack. The President led off with n special message to congress in 1 which hs said that kf ti wi,u further reduction of $200,000,-00- 0 in expenditures, In addition to the billion dollars of new taxes, would bo required to balance tbs budget, an even greater aaving could be accomplished by consolidation ofbnreans and boards, by reform of administrative methods, by abolition of 168 necessary functions," and by temporary suspension of other activities. Inasmuch as so far reaching an economy program would require the repeal and amendment of a multitude of existing laws, J proposed that the preparation of a comprehensive plan be assigned to a commission composed of senators, congressmen and representatives of the Executive. The Presidents proposals met with Immediate opposition on the part of Democrats In both houses, and a demand that the Executive submit specific recommendations tor the reduction of expenditures. Speaker Garner declared that It was too late to create new commissions and assured the President that any specific recommendations be has to ent expenses will get quick action In the bouse. In reply to the opposition voiced against his message, the President statement sold : in What I asked for In my message was organized, nonpartisan by all forces to reduce government expenses In the national emergency which Insistently demands relief for the taxpayer." "What I have asked for ti not a commission, but that the senate and house delegate representatives to sit down wltn representatives from the administration and endeavor to draft a national economy bllL" Continuing, he said that without such action he saw no way by which there can be a maximum reduction In expenditures.

The Importance of government salary cuts In the economy scheme has been emphasized in support given the Idea by Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, and Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi.
