New Deal Still Blows $2 for $1 Deficit Looms Bigger Than Ever; Civil Service Is Put on Skids. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Having entered its fourth year of administration March 4, President Roosevelt’s New Deal is still spending two dollars for every dollar it takes in. Federal receipts for the 1936 fiscal year to Feb. 29 were $2,348,281,700, while expenditure* stood at $4.758,686381. This two-for-one spending progresses despite the fact that the President said. In his first annual budget meaaage, that the nation should plan for a balanced budget—which In simple terms means spending no more money than you take In—during the “third year of recovery,” which Is the 1936 fiscal year. Now all Indications are that the 1936 deficit will be surpassed by the deficit In the 1937 budget, which has been estimated to be more than $4,000,000,000. New Deal Spends 19 Billion. Since he was inaugurated on March 4, 1933, the President has spent $19,000,000,000, of which $10,000,000,000 was for purposes other than the ordinary running expenses of the government. A further expenditure of more than $5,000,000,000 la provided for. Most of the spending outside ordinary expenditure* was for the purpose of “priming the pump," pouring Federal money out of the taxpayer's pocket on the theory that business, once stimulated by the artificial purchasing power created, would “pick up” of its own accord and put the idle millions back to work. After three years, with money still rolling out of the treasury In billions for relief and "made work" (boondoggling), the - American Federation of Labor, through it* president, William Green, estimates that at the end of January there were still 12,626,000 workers unemployed. The Increase in unemployment of 1,229.000 from December to January was the largest such Increase in five year*. As three years of the New Deal came to an end the National debt had reached a total of about $32,000,000,000, a new high for all time And an excellent prospect for the near future was a debt of 35 to 40 billion* of dollar*. This would be a debt of $1,100? to $1,260 for every family in the United State*, a prior lien on everything each family earns and a first mortgage on everything it owns. Fifty Bureau* Created. In Its efforts to spend Its way back Into national prosperity, the New Deal has In three year* Introduced novel and contradictory method*. It has spent $8,000,000,000 for reHet It has set up fifty new agencies (mostly alphabetical bureaus) which have created hundreds of thousand* of “administrative" laws—rule* of executive order in which the executive branch of the government 1* both Judge and jury, may fine or imprison the citizen without his recourse to the courts, and may tell him what to do with bis property. In the operation of these bureaus, the New Deal has added 250,000 full time federal employees, less than 1 in 100 of them being required to pan* civil service examinations The civil service la three year* has declined from 81 per cent of an federal employees to 57 x I cent Three years have seen the crop curtailment program of AAA, combined with the drouth and New Deal free trade poUcles, produce the enigmatic condition of import* of foreign farm products stealing the internal market away from the American farmer at a rapidly Increasing rate. Imports of grain* bacon, hams, pork, beef, animal and vegetable oil* , have multiplied, until in IMS farm products worth more than $1300,0&0,000 at current prices, were imported to enrich the farmers of other countries Roosevelt monetary policies caused the dollar to be devalued 40 per cent la gold content with the result that on the basis of gold the farmer sold hl* products at prices 13 per cent less than tn 1932. Despite the fact that inht* budget message at the start of the year. Roosevelt said that no new taxes would be required, the New Deal's new farm program, new relief expenditure* and other costs made it apparent that $1,500,000,000 or more tn new taxes would be required.

On The Hili By UNCLE LEW. In a recent article the writer gave you a short summary of the Red Man who lived in Kosciusko county, and in this story you will find the Pioneers experience with the Indians in Jackson township, in Elkhart county. First I will quote John Jackson. “I was in the War of 1812. We were commanded by Harrison and were sent to Fort Wayne. A few days before we got- to Fort Wayne, the Indians had fled-and we were sent in pursuit. The route we took lay near the old Fort Wayne road. We crossed the Elkhart river near where the town of Benton is not situated. It was at this point that « line of battle was formed and the force moved on to the village of Osbenobe, (which was on what is now known as the Thompson and Weybright farms, between the edge of the prairie and the Elkhart river, approximately six miles north of Syracuse.) When we reshed there, the Indians had again fled, but their deserted fires and their food still cooking revealed how recently the shanties had been occupied. The military force burned the Indian village on the 11th of September, 1812." David Mathews lived south of New Paris about two miles out of the town on what is now Road No. 15. Mathews says, “The Indians were generally peaceable, but easily offended. Sometimes the women folks would hide in the bushes and stay concealed there until the men returned home. The Red Skins would draw their tomahawks snd scalping knives on me when they became angry. One time when I was a boy, I was attacked by an Indian who hid behind a tree. As he chased me two white persons heard me cry out, and they drove him away. One other time a neighbor boy and myself were kept prisoners in a log cabin by an Indian chief who claimed that our parents and others had taken some ponies, which belonged to him." J. B. Butler, who lived two miles this side of New Paris on the Huntington road says, “I well remember my first view of Boyds Landing near Benton. The Indians and their squaws with the papooses, after having embibed in much whiskey, were dancing around the fire* in great glee. It was near evening and the snow was about two feet deep upon the ground. I saw them clean away the snow near the logs, build fires near them, lay down their blankets and sleep in the open all night.” Samuel R. Miller, a very early Pioneer, who lived six miles north west of Syracuse was a carpenter farmer, trustee of Jackson township, and several tunes sheriff of Elkhart county, writes in his biography, "We were the first in the county and endured the hardships and trials of Pioneer*. The Indians in their location were exceedingly hostile, because of whites moving in on their hunting grounds. They killed nine people at one time, during the wheat harvest. My grandmother was at this massacre and hid in the wheat field, and later made her escape after the Indians had gone.” BOY SCOUTS ERECT STREET MARKERS The local tsoy Scout troop have been p lac ng street markers at advantageous points around the town. The markers, very nicely painted in black block letters upon white boards designste clearly the streets in ths corporate limits. To finance thia civic project, the troop is collectng old paper, which they sell to raise funds I for paint and material.
