Mr.. Payne's statement.

Chairman Payne made the follow
ing statement on the proposed repeal:
! The treasury now has an available
| cash balance OF something over S74 600 -
cp. II IL not likely that this will be IN
creased materially during the present rs
cal year as the treasury is buying bonds
at rate that will use up the surplus TO
accumulate between this and the end OF
the rscal year. June 30 next. The secre-
tary OF the treasury's report estimated a
surplus for this year OF 500 600 600 and
subsequent results seem 20 confirm this
estimate The committee, therefore,
thought 70 was entirely safe TO repeal the
remainder OF the war revenue taxes
amounting TO tes 600 90. and the tax or tea
OF 1900 90, In the aggregate 81, 600 600 at
THIS time This will stu leave a surplus
estimated upon this years receipts and
expense OF s22 0c0, GO or 81 600 600 for the
year while We will start upon the next
fiscal year with sl74 600 90 available cash
In the treasury. The committee deems II
