law that would not produce a surplus IN June must
be an absolutely hopelcss failure.
Another thing that Is giving encouragement 20 the
friends Of the Law is the fact that the Expenditures
Of the Treasury growing lighter. The rcduc-
ton IN the pension Appropriation ana general par
ing down In expenditures have resulted IN a marked
reduction IN the expenditures. Had II not been Tor
this fortunate fact. the Wilson Law would have
made a much worse showing than II has. The
friends OF the law claim that 1t was the victim OF
great misfortune but. IN point Of fact IL has many
fortunate circumstances IN its favor. else 1t would
have made much worse record. In the nine
months since 1t went into operation the expendit
urcs have fallen more than $ll.vloco below those
Of the corresponding nine months Of the preceding
year ana more than $-l.~~,'D below those OF thc
