Washington, June 30.-Chairman
Tawney of the house appropriations
committee made the following state
ment as to the appropriations for the
fiscal year 1907
1.-The total appropriations made at
this session of congress- including those
carried in the regular appropriation ac-
counts, all deficiencies, miscellaneous
matters and permanent annual appro-
priations, aggregating $3.50, 1S3, 301.
This is an apparent increase of
s60, 100000 over the appropriations made
at the last session of congress.
This is more than accounted for In
the three following items:
For the isthmian canal, $40. al, 900;
under the statehood bill, SIC, $50, 900; to-
ward the construction of new buildings
authorized at this session, SIC, S21 900,
making a total of s63, 01S, 900, to which
might properly be added $4,000, 900 for
San Francisco.
Other increases.
Other notable increases are s., 000,-
coo for inspection of meat products and
10000, 900 on account of the postal
service. The total apparent appropria-
lions at this session, $780, 1S3, 301, do not
constitute in their entirety a charge
against the revenues of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year for the
reason that there must be deducted
deficiencies that are chargeable to the
service of the current year and to meet
expenditures already incurred on ac-
count thereof. approximately at least
S35, 100000. This sum includes SIC 000,-
900 for the Isthmian canal.
CHI oIu h.
100000 for the sinking fund, which may
or may not be in the whole or in part,
as it is purely a matter of discretion
with the secretary of the treasury to
utilize the surplus for that purpose.
Should Not Be Counted.
There should also be deducted s22-
000, 900 which is estimated and included
in the whole sum of appropriations TO
be paid out of deposits of national
banks in redemption of circulating
notes of banks. The deposits are not
credited as a part of the revenues of
the government and therefore redemp-
tions made from the fund thus arising
should not be charged TO expenditures.
The s25,456S15 appropriated for work
on the Isthmian canal is payable from
or reimbursable to the treasury out of
for that purpose and should also be
deducted from the appropriations for
1907
THE sums mentioned amount 10
mere than s1S9O00,OOO and when de-
Quoted leave apparent appropriations
of only $741 000, 900 to be met out of
the revenues of the next fiscal year.
In my judgment the ordinary reve-
nues of the next fiscal year will amount
TO at least 5000 O00, 900. The postal rev.
enues are estimated at S1S1 ,973, 600 for
1907. making the total apparent re-
sources of the government for next
year not less than 1871. so, 900 or at least
$40 000. 900 in excess of appropriations
that may be charged against them.
Minority Statement Later.
Mr.. Livingston of Georgia, the rank
ing Democratic member on the appro-
priatiOns committee, warned the Re-
publicans that unless they provided
some means TO increase the revenues
that the next congress would be called
upOn to explain a deficit.
He Will submit a statement of ap-
preparations later.
