EDITORIALS The Fight On The Budget We are in the midst of a real political war on the federal budget. On one side are most of the southern conservative Democrats and a majority of the Republicans. On the other side are New Deal Democrats and the remaining Republicans. The most recent important development is the report of the staff of the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation. It is significant because this staff, of which Mr. Colin Stam is chief, has an extraordinarily good record for estimating revenue receipts. Further, this staff does not play party politics, and, insofar as its reports are concerned, does not have an ideological slant. When it says that a deficit is pending, therefore, its voice carries real weight, and in the current report that is exactly what it says. The staff arrived at this conclusion by differing with the budget estimates submitted by the President in January. These differences, with all amounts in millions, are as follows: individual income taxes down $1,300 corporation income taxes up 177 excises down 841 estate and gift taxes down 30 employment taxes up 190 customs up 32 miscellaneous receipts down 104 net difference down $1,876 individual income taxes down $1,300 corporation income taxes up 177 excises down 841 estate and gift taxes down 30 employment taxes up 190 customs up 32 miscellaneous receipts down 104 net difference down $1,876 This staff also assumes that transfers to old age and survivors insurance and disability trust funds will be $184 million more than the budget estimates; that transfers to the highway trust fund will be $681 million less than estimated in the budget; and, that refunds of receipts will be $29 million less than listed in the budget. Putting all of these items together, the net result is that the Federal Government will have $1,350 million less than anticipated in January. Back of these differences are certain assumptions. First, that present corporate tax rates will be continued, which also was assumed in the budget estimates. Second, that recommended increases in gasoline taxes from 3 to 4½ cents a gallon will not be made and that no changes will be made in the present treatment for transfers to the highway trust fund. Third, that corporate income will be higher than figured in the budget estimate, and that personal income will be lower. On the expenditure side there also is a difference between the staff and the budget estimates. The one of greatest importance is the assumption that the increased contribution to the International Monetary Fund will be made in the 1960 fiscal year rather than in the current year as recommended by the Administration. This would lift estimated 1960 fiscal year expenditures to $80 billion, and would mean a deficit on the basis of the staff revenue estimates, of $4.2 billion. But even without this particular shift, and it is still an open question, there would be a deficit of $1.2 billion. Does this mean that there's no chance of having a balanced budget next year? It certainly does not mean this. The budget submitted in January by the President was not austere in terms of expenditures. It called for a reduction of about $4 billion, and there was at least that much more which might have been eliminated, and would have had to be eliminated if one was to be justified in terming it an austere budget. Does this mean that there's no chance of having a balanced budget next year? It certainly does not mean this. The budget submitted in January by the President was not austere in terms of expenditures. It called for a reduction of about $1 billion, and there was at least that much more which might have been eliminated, and would have had to be eliminated if one was to be justified in terming it an austere budget. On the revenue side the January budget estimates were well within the realm of possibility, and it still is possible that they will prove to have been too low. At the moment it does not appear probable that postage rates will be increased again, and neither does it appear likely that gasoline taxes will be raised. But these can be offset by economy in other directions, providing there is the will for such economy. But there will not be this will for economy unless persons and groups and communities stop asking for more spending for all types of non-essential things, and unless the public at large starts to emphasize that in its opinion economy and a balanced budget are essential. The only way the public can do this is by either writing or talking to the members of Congress. There is no time for delay. One after another of the appropriations bills is now being considered by Congress and that is where spending must be curtailed.

Republicans Urge Retaining Loyalty Dath in State Law Republican leadership in Orange County has unanimously on record in support of retaining loyalty oaths in California law as a condition for granting tax exemption, it was announced today by Coalson Morris, county chairman. Proof on State The Republican Central Committee of Orange County has approved a resolution urging the current session of the Legislature in Sacramento to enact AB 052 which would place the burden of proof of loyalty on the state instead of the individual in response to a declaration of unconstitutionality of the latter principle by a recent decree of the United States Supreme Court. The resolution points out that the people of Orange County in 1952 voted 76,342 to 17,067 to authorize the State Legislature to enact loyalty oath legislation.

"In view of the recent exposure by the House Un-American Activities Committee of the continued infiltration in Southern California by Communist subversives," Morris declared, "the current attempt by the Democrat-controlled Legislature to implement their 1958 platform calling for loyalty oath repeal is a foolhardy threat to the safety of California."
