This is only a partial list But it represents the larger bills
and the savings are substantial. Furthermore, they represent
savings without a reduction of needed services. For example,
even while reducing the figures for the Labor - HEW bill, Con-
gress increased the funds for research into killing and crippling
diseases.
At the time this is written, we are still considering the ap-
propriation for mutual security. The president originally asked
for $4,400,000,000. The people protested and President Eisen-
hower agreed to withdraw $500,000,000 of the request. Con-
gress doubled the savings and the authorization figure now
stands at about $3,386,000,000. Futher saving is in order and
will be made.
The House voted a Mutual Security appropriation of $2,-
524,760,00. That is $1,785,240,000 below the original budget re-
quest. The Senate must still consider the appropriation, but it is
clear that the final result will be at least $5,500,000,000 in sav-
ings and probably much more.

the same shape we were in be-
fore. Stopping Federal spending
so State spending can pick up, is
like patching an inner tube in
one place and punching a. hole
in it in another. It s like cutting
down on money for clothes and i
adding the difference to your
grocery bill. Your nose stays to
the grindstone, either way.
You mean to say we've got to
start this tax relief drive all
over again and explain when we
mean Federal spending we
mean all spending?

In the closing days of the session, one important fact is being
overlooked. It is that Congress has succeeded in the economy
drive—succeeded to the tune of at least $5,500,000,000.
The President opened the year by presenting Congress with
the largest peacetime budget in history—$71,800,000,000. The
country was staggered. Eyes turned towards Congress to.see
what would happen.
Part of the budget couldn’t be touched. It consisted of good
faith obligations of the Unted States — interest on the public
debt; veterans pensions; fixed charges. But the rest was examin
ed carefully and thoroughly. ow, with all but three of the ap-
propriation bills acted upon, it is apparent that the savings will
amount to at least $5,500,000,000 ■— 9 percent of the total outside
of the fixed charges.
The story can be told quickly and easily by a table:
and it turns out it wasn’t that
at all.
For example, I was out here

$3.00 for marriage licenses in-
stead of $2.50. Recording fees
such as leases, deeds and other
documents jumped from 15
cents per 100 words to 20 cents
per 100 words. This will a-
mount. to additional revenue
for Lee County to about $1000
per year.
Fishing and hunting licenses
for the new year beginning
Sept. 1 are up from $1.65 to
$2.15, and $2.15 to $3.15.
