Washington, May 3l-In the alb
sence of Senator Allison, chairman vi
, the committee on appropriations, Sen

senate a statement showing the ap
preparations made during the session

over the figures for the fiscal year

In presenting this statement Hale
undertook to show that notwithstand'
ing claims to the contrary eXperdi-
lures would be well within the reven.
ues of the year.
The total estimated revenues are
$S7SI23,0ll while he undertook to
show that expenditures for the next
year would be nearly $S52, ,l11S94,

All their lives are forced 10 roam.
Some have gone from us forever.

They have reached fairer region
