silver producers to appear before the senate iommlttee on banking and currency when it begins hearings on Jie Pittman silver purchase bill The silver problem which xfter all Is a money problem long since ceased to be the Isolated roncern of the silver producing sections Unfortunately silver has been widely considered the concern of those directly affected because they were the first to see the evils of the trend That they were visibly affected cannot be denied and that they were likewise the first to feel the effect of the deficiency is an established fact But this in itself does not entitle silver to summary relief action on the part of the government Silver producers many months ago declared that the sliver debacle was a national concern directly related to the financial fabric of the nation Only general understanding and comprehension of this fact can restore silver to a necessary place In the monetary systems of the world This enlightenment can come only when the government and the people definitely determine the national and economic need for silver without regard to the Immediate needs of silver or silver producers For this reason It seems only wise that the Immediate problem be considered as something separate and apart from the If silver Is not a medium to problem confronting producers stimulate commodity prices and aid the nation In economic recovery while preserving and perpetuating the gold standard it is nothing The silver producers of the west are close to this rrohlem They know its effect upon them as producers and also have some Idea of Its effect upon the country at large The prnhlem to be discussed by the senate committee how ever Is not altogether a silver problem It Is a money problem fraught writh economic possibilities which are of as much concern to the farmer and the manufacturer as they are to the silver producer What the country should be interested In at this time Is what sliver can do for a distraught world and not what the world can do for silver If to maintain that gold alone shall be considered as the sole basis for monetary systems then gold alone must take Its Just share of the responsibility for present economic conditions This might also easily lead to a real danger to the maintenance of the gold standard In that If American citizens and American business men should get into their minds that gold only Is money they might call for and demand that metal gold in itself be utilized In trade channels thus making gold available for hoarding In the manner of the French peasant Silver must come Into Its own and It will come Into Its own simply by reason of the world’s need for It Laws and Economy bodies of the nation are encountering a to revising the costs of government downward Each effort directed at reducing expenses strikes the snag of legal restrictions The executive branch of the federal government finds Its hands tied by statutes while unbridled spending continues In reiterating his demands for governmental reorganization In order that the federal budget may be balanced President Hoover Is merely following a logical course His first message on the subject asks for Increased power to simplify the affairs of Btate and now reveals to an apprehensive congress that nothing can be done In this direction until the statutory blockade Is removed Congress of course retaliates with deipands that Mr Hoover be more specific in his recommendations That Is the natural thing for a legislative body to do after It finds the nation’s business strangled by misguided enthusiasm for lawmaking From the taxpayer’s point of view the situation la deplorable Individuals have been compelled by circumstances beyond their control to cut the corners In private budgets The pruning process Is getting very near the quick and Is beginning to hurt They feel that taxing powers should be tempered with a little of the same treatment they have been fored to take In rather heavy doses And about the time the public begins to believe officials are going to squeeze the water out of the sponge of governmental operations they find the door Is guarded by a network of statutory limitations The pain that comes to the politician In a period like the present Is easily understood His own house 13 In danger of crumbling because the foundation is weak Bureaucracy cannot endure because It fall3 to give back to the public In service an amount commensurate with the cost Unregulated duplication of effort In governmental affairs la Inefficient and expensive It Is true that loose organization fosters political power but even that eventually becomes a myth for the deficiency of the system must ultimately bring It to disaster Bpending and saving are unwelcome twins In Washington! Governmental finances have become a political football that Is being booted between the White House and the halls of congress every day The politicians may enjoy the game but the taxpayers are lacking In appreciation What they want is a balanced budget brought about by constructive economies and a LEGISLATIVE minimum tax burden — - 1 Guarding Against Fire PUBLIC ENGLAND COMES THROUGH (Louisville Courier-Journa- l ) An example of a government making both ends meet by facing the facts of governmental extravagance and decreasing revenue is afforded by the British national ministry under Ramsay MacDonald In spite of the most serloua economic and financial difficulties which caused the freezing of vast credits ahroad and the suspension of the gold standard England ended its fiscal year today not only with a balance but with a $200 000000 surplus The Labor Liberal Tory coalition has accomplished a feat that well may serve as a model for other governments At the beginning of the fiscal year when the labor ministry was in power Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden admitted that he had only technically balanced the budget Expenditures he pointed out would be $4016000 000 and receipts only 830 000000 As a makeshift to make both ends meet he increased the gasoline tax moved up the payment of income taxes and counted on an lnrrease in reparations payments merely hoping for a balance in what he regarded as an extraordinary and temporary situation Things however went from bad to wot se The dole which had not been decreased by the Labor regime was sapping the treasury Huge loans to other countries were tied up by the worldwide depression The collapse of Austria and then of Germany greatly weakened the financial structure of Britain and then came the cessation of German reparations through the Hoover debt holiday With the pound on unstable footing there was a flight of gold chiefly trr France and the financial collapse of England seemed inevitable Five months ago or on November 6 the national government went into office after a tremendous popular rebuke to the Labor ministry at the October general elections The mandate of the new ministry was to save the country from bankruptcy and to effect drastic which economics strictly political regimes had avoided The result is a balanced budget that started out with the almost certain prospect of a deficit Whgt England has dune In the pres ent fiscal year Germany proposes to do in the next twelve months By reducing expenditures 20 per cent or from $2500000000 to $2 000 000000— a reduction equivalent to $800000 000 in the American budget or enough to relieve the American people of any tax increase — Germany will make its books tally a year hence Explaining this accomplishment the New York Times remarks that the government had "employed a curiously old fashioned method practically unknown today in the United States” namely reduction of expenditures England comes through the most serious financial difficulties with flying colors Germany takes up a notch tn its belt and moves forward toward solvency and well being The United States continues the spending of prosperous times keeping up this spending with Increased taxes $3-8- 3 JUNIOR COLLEGES (From Oakland Tribune) In a Charter day speech by the presidents the University of California in resolutions adopted by the alumni association of the same institution and at Sacramento where educators of the Carnegie Foundation are making a survey of the state's educational system the old subject of Junior colleges and the plan to turn r some or all of them into universities comes up again It Is apparent there is no objection to junior colleges as such and indeed a feeling that they are performing a needed service taking a certain load from the parent institution and offering educational opportunity to large numbers of young men and women who otherwise might not be able to accept it The Junior college as President Sproul said "offers a sifting ground for a large group of high school graduates who are not immediately eligible for admission to the university and permits a’’ more just appraisal of their abilities It serves students during years when many have not decided upon careers or vocations Not a small contribution is that which diverts the minds of some students from course for which they were not fitted The relationship of these colleges to the university as President Sproul says is a hHppy one Right now when financing the Junior colleges as they are is uncertain general opinion save in centers where certain of the leading Junior colleges are situated Is expressed in stronger terms than formerly against the proposals to make four-yea- r universities spring up here and there throughout the state That such colleges could be of little benefit unless an enormous expenditure were authorized and that there would be duplications and waste is the opinion of the un- four-yea- 1932 NEW YORK DAY - BY- DAY fh By
