U. S. BOOKS TO SHOW SURPLUS OF $36,000,000 fflflkts. _ President Coolidge Submits 1920 Budget to Congress. BY CECIL OWENS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—President Coolidge today submitted to congress the budget for the fiscal year 1930, totaling with postal service payments, $4,417,379,904 as compared with $4,328,028,236 in 1929 appropriations. In his accompanying message, the President revealed that the government upon closing its books next June at the end of the fiscal year will have a surplus of $36,990,192, Out he warned that “we have no immediate prospect of any further reduction in taxes.” The predicted surplus caused surprise, as Budget Director Lord had said in July there would be a $94,000,000 deficit unless government expenditures were sharply curtailed. Receipts Lower Total receipts of the government in the fiscal year 1929 were estimated by Mr. Coolidge at $3,831,735,661, as compared with receipts in the fiscal year 1928 of $4,042,348,156. Expenditures for 1929 were put at $3,794,475,469, as compared with expenditures last year of $3,643,519,875. The surplus for the fiscal year 1928, which closed June 30, last was $398,828,281, which was $55,000,000 less than the estimated surplus. Taking into consideration the $50,000,000 appropriated by congress subsequent to transmission of the budget for settlement of war claims, the President said the difference between the estimated and actual surplus in 1928 was but $5,000,000. "This current year, 1929, the outlook is not so bright,” he continued, explaining that the forecast in 1927 of a surplus of $252,540,283 for the fiscal year of 1929 has been materially changed. “With actual operations for four months of the current fiscal year of record and a clearer conception of what we face, the setimate is now that our surplus this year will be $36,990,192. While this margin of receipts over expenditures is small, it is most gratifying, as on July 1, last, the best estimate that could be made indicated a deficit of about $94,000,000. Include Overtime Pay "The surplus now estimated is based on receipts amounting to $3,831,735,661 and expenditure of $3,794,745,469. The difference between the estimate is primarily reflected in the expenditure figures! which have increased $238,000,000.” The postal deficit-, Mr. Coolidge said, accounts for $68,000,000 of this estimated increase in expenditures. Included in that amount is about $9,000,000 for overtime pay of postal employes, another $9,000,000 for carrying ocean and air mail, $14,000,000 for increase in rail transportation rates, and a $36,000,000 reduction in postal revenues. Expenditures for flood control account for $16,000,000. Public buildngs under construction and roads neing built account for $26,000,000. Increases in pensions raise the expenditures by $11,000,000 and increases in pay of government employes account for $21,000,000. Tax Refunds Increase Tax refunds show an estimated increase of $18,000,000 and interest payments of $5,000,000, while the \ navy and shipping board expenditures, the message said, account for $26,000,000. For the fiscal year 1930, which ;■ will commence on July 1 next, Mr. , Coolidge forecast a surplus of $60,576,182. The President referred to the $406,566,762.42 French war debt to the United States which matures on Aug. 1, 1929, but he said it was not included in the budget because of the possibility that it may be funded by ratification of the Berenger debt settlement agreement. •; Mr. Coolidge recommended to Congress that, if the French ratify the agreement, this country do likewise. The amount to be spent for flood control projects next year oh the Mississippi and its tributaries was estimated at $31,000,000 in the budget. Increased appropriations were recommended for the agriculture,

Roy R. Roudebush, assistant state superintendent of public instruction, thought the citzen mean he was returning with a gun and called police.

Aley of Butler university believes the outburst of the Rev. David Hepburn, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia, to the effect that drinking at the University ol Virginia has become "a state-wide scandal,” is a bit exaggerated. “ T can not conceive of such a condition existing at any college or university in the state of Indiana,” Dr. Aley said. "Usually there are a few who are without a sense of propriety at any j college who ckuse the bulk of trou- | ble. However, I believe chat It can J be said that the few at Butler are much too few to create a problem. And from my observation, Indiana and Purdue are not troubled much.” PADLOCK COURTHOUSE HALF-DAY SATURDAYS Building to Be Given Weekly Holiday From Market Peddlers.

INVITE COOLIDGE SOUTH Delegation Asks President to Visit Three Cities Next February. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. s—Senator George (Dem), Gorgia, headed a delegation inviting President Coolidge today to spend the Christmas holidays at Savannah, Augusta, or Brunswick, Gorgia, or visit these places on his trip to Florida next February, when the President will dedicate the Edward Bok Bird sanctuary at Mountain Lake, Fla. for the restoration to health of King George V of England. The growing public demand for books and magazines presenting religious discussions was cited as an encouraging sign by Bishop Blake, addressing the council Tuesday afternoon in the place of Ralph E. Diffendorfer, New York, who was ill and unable to attend. Prohibition has been an important factor, he said, in the tremendous growth of savings accounts in the United States since 1916 and in the $72,000,000,000 increase in insurance policies during the last fifteen years. Events of the last ten years have disillusioned those who believed the World war “was a war to make the world safe for democracy,” said Fred B. Smith of New York, chairman of the citizens committee of one thousand and chairman of the World Alliance for International Friendship for the past five years. Women Hear Gordon In an address Tuesday afternoon Dr. Smith professed alarm at the spread of dictatorship and exhorted forces of the Methodist church to unite behind the peace program in an effort to outlaw war. This, he said, could be accomplished by a great crusade for public opinion. “Sooner or later,’’ he declared, “the United States must enter a league of nations, by whatever name it may be called.” Signor Mario Cappelli, soloist, was to sing at each of today’s council sessions, as he did Tuesday G. Bromley Oxnam, president of De Pauw university, was to speak this afternoon on “The Teaching Mission of the Church,” and Edward A. Steiner of Grinnel, lowa, author and lecturer, on “The Making of a Great Race.” SKATE MARATHON ENDS Miss Helen Clark, 1649 Fleteher Avenue, Wins First Prize.

BRITTEN STILL HOLDS HOPE OF ARMSPARLEY Looks for Conference of Legislators If Nations Fail to Act By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—Chairman Britten of the house naval committee has hopes for a conference of American and foreign legislators on disarmament, if the great world powers before next August do not summon anew arms limitation session. With his own committee on record In favor of extending the 5-5-3 naval ratio policy to other than major battlecraft, Britten today revealed to the United Press his dream of a gathering of legislators from the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan in conjunction with the interparliamentary union session in Geneva next August. He desires to see such a conference of union delegates in event the powers themselves do not move for another arms reduction session meantime. Britten manifestly was cheered by the friendly tone of Premier Baldwin’s response to the Britten suggestion for a United States-English parliamentary gathering. While Baldwin did not accept the suggestion—since it was made over the heads of American diplomats and contrary to established customs in such cases—he did indicate he was appreciative of Britten’s spirit. Diplomatic sources had condemned Britten’s tour into the realms of diplomacy, but his own committee Indicated that without wanting to dictate to any officials it still favors, as heretofore, an extension of the principles applied to the Washington arms conferences. Britten told the United Press that that he would not agitate, for the present. His proposal for a limitations conference between the United States and Great Britain, adding “it is now up to the other fellow.” He said members of the English parliament have manifested a great Interest In the proposal and that tlje seed for perpetual peace had been sown. “The conference of legislators, if one Is held, would recommend just what should be done. Each delegation would report to its home government.” Britten said.

BY HERBERT LITTLE United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. s.—“ Personal padlocks,” believed to be the most drastic liquor enforcement plan ever attempted, have been abandoned by the governipent, Attorney General Sargent announced today. The “personal padlock” consists of a federal court, injunction directed against a person, forbidding him under penalty of cohtempt of court from selling or possessing liquor in violation of the Volstead act anywhere in the federal judicial district. Federal prosecutors obtained such an injunction against Ida Rosoff and Lena Schultz. Riverside drive, New York, caterers, from Federal Judge John C. Knox. The second circuit court of appeals upheld the injunction. The two women appealed to the United States supreme court, charging their constitut'onal rights were violated. Tine government after consulting with New York prosecutors and the two women, agreed to remove from the padlock injunction the words “or anywhere in the southern district,” leaving the injunction to'apply only to the premises where liquor had been sold. v The women thereupon consented to withdraw their appeal and it was dismissed. The suits were brought under the “nuisance” clause of the Volstead act, WELL REPAID FOR THE READING Because she was suffering from backache and lumbago, Mrs. T. J. Bucknell, Hardy, Nebr., stopped to read an advertisement of Foley Pills diuretic. She tried them, then wrote: “I am much improved in health and vigor since taking Foley Pills diuretic.
