OUT OF FUNDS.

Although Uncle Sam has unlimited
resources he knows what it is to get
the balance on the wrong side. Ad~
ministration officials do not now hest
tate to express their concern at the
growing treasury deficit. The excess OF
expenditures over receipts for the pres
ent fiscal year has reached the sur
prising sum of $50, 116,434. AT this
time last year there was an excess OF
receipts over expenditures of s., Ala, :
005
There are only two months more OF
the present fiscal year, and treasury
officials now have no hope that the
deficit will grow less. TO say that
they are disappointed and surprised
at the situation is expressing it mild
". The deficit for the first three weeks
of the month of April was Sc, $40, 295.
1t is not expected to be so large as
this in May and June, but under pres
ent conditions it is thought that the
deficit for the year will reach at least
$50, 600, 900.
Meanwhile official junkets are going
on at a rate never before known in
the governments history. The river
and harbor committee has just finish
ed a trip to the West Indies on gov
eminent transport. AT the same time
Secretary Morton was entertaining
party on the Dolphin, including Sen
ator Hale and Speaker Cannon, in
Cuban waters. Preparations are now
going on for Secretary Taft's party to
the Philippines, which is the most pre-
tentious excursion of this character
ever undertaken. The party will in
clude two scores of people altogether,
largely made up of senator's and rep
resentatives. In addition to this five
carloads of officials will be taken
across the continent to Portland, Ore,
in June to attend the opening of the
exposition there, all at the govern
ment's expense.
The enormous treasury deficit means
the beginning of campaign in the
late summer and early fall on the part
of administration officials in favor of
legislation to increase government
revenues, and whatever is done it is
certain that the people will foot the
bills.
