Roosevelts request for economic powers stirs Congress
The Roosevelt plan to grant authority to cut government salaries up to 15 percent and reduce veteran relief payments sparked swift action in both houses. Senate passed the bill 62 to 13 with cross party support and opposition nipping away at leadership. House vote 206 to 138, with many Democrats and some Republicans opposing, while some party members abstained to avoid recorded opposition. The measure aims to trim federal expenditures, plus a broader push to control farm prices and debt through presidential dictation.

Why the postal rate hike matters to readers
A columnist argues the three cent stamp rise reveals the postal service as a public good, not a profit engine. He notes operating costs near 600 to 700 million dollars annually, the historic aim of self funding, and Congress backing deficits with general taxes. He contrasts private pricing shocks with postal service duties and praises merit-based promotions within the system while criticizing patronage in a few postmaster appointments.
