In contradiction to thr theory that the budget of a nation is like that of a household, which has to be balanced annually, the pros- have been knocted-out by the relief policy. Normally, the smou'nt of unemployment a fairly reliable Index to the general economic situation of country. But cur unemployment figures are totally because policy of the renef administration has been to dyine unemployment as a certain in income, so thai undoubtedly tens of thousands aie counted as unemployed who never were employed, and an social cases, tise- less for measuring the extent Of recovery.

Insurance, once it In operation, will furnish a reliable and automatic we have got to do something meanwhile. And, meanvhlle, there is no let-up in the treasure from groups of all kinds, who have been encouraged to ielieve that a providential government will augment their incomes by one form of subsidy or another. Within tr.a last few days the cotton farmers who are already receiving several sorts of government soil conservation, and by the extension for another year of 3 1-2 per cent interest asked and de- mr.r.ded a loan for the puspore of holding and increasing the price of cotton, In the face of this year's extraordinary crop. But is by no means established that the loan is necessary. If growers should receive the present prices for the current crop their gross income would be equal to las', year's, which was considered satisfactory.

The greater quantity would offset the increase In price. In other words, what they are looking have encouraged to a guaranteed price rather than a fair profit.

Each of these, mind you, was on a separate deal. Stone, who lives on Paris, route six, Thursday gave a brief summary of the life of the shaky old crate.

He traded Harry Davis, now deceased, a three-year-old jack for the car in 1915. Where Davis got it, nobody knows. But it is a 1904 model. That's certain. Stone then traded the 11-year- old car to Roy Weaver, now county clerk, for a sow and five still in the squeak- squeal stage.

In turn, Weaver traded the Cadillac to Arthur Payne for a .22 pump rifle, and Payne traded it to a Negro for a mule. The Negro traded it to Jesse Short, Pattonyille, route six, for a heifer yearling.

In times of depression, when private- investment becomes cautious, or nearly stops altogether, it is the 1 business of government to start the cycle upward ajrain, by spending its money, and It is justified in radically unbalancing the hud- get if necessary, in order to do so. There are many economists who believe that with sufficient budgetary elasticity, the peaks and valleys of depressions can be ironed out, and such depressions the recent, one prevented alto- of production and the greater the possibility of a decent profit at a 1 price.

Certainly it would come action, taken much more expeditiously than was the last. If, for instance, indexes show that unemployment has passed a poir.t which may be considered unemployment, of men passing from one job to government should immediately, they think, begin start-, ing public works, which hive 1 been planned carefully in advance; and keep on the program for just such emergencies. Thus, wholesale slumps can be prevented Liquor (Continued From Page One) cities may deilgnate In residential sections where opening and closng hours may specified or may prohibit beer sales In certain zones.

Under the amended act, any person holding a beer license granted by the board will do so with the express understanding that the licensed premises shall be subject to Inspection by authorized officers at any and all times. Any refusal of this Inspection will provide grounds from revocation of the permit. No search warrant will be necessary on premises licensed under the liquor board. As far as liquor Is concerned, a drug store applying for a medicinal permit must have been In business in the same county for at tesst two years previous to the application. Whereas the former limit for prescription to one person in one day was a quart of liquor, the amended act provides that one man may not buy more than ana pint of liquor In one day.

A doctor will no longer be required to secure a permit for writ- Ing prescriptions from the liquor hoard, but he must be a licensed physician within the state of Texas.

When private production and national income have begun to approximate norms), the government budget be contracted, and reserves muf! be- laid up against the next deflationary period.
