GROWTH OF EXPENDITURES

1t is evident that the present Ses-
sion of congress will pass all records
in the matter of appropriations. A
river and harbor bill, which was not
included among the appropriations
of the last session, must be enacted
because the various projects N
course of construction must be fur
Vher provided for. This alone Will
increase the ordinary appropriations
by $4,000, 1000, less such sum as
may be saved by the omission of a
public buildings bill There are
many other new demands upon the
treasury and it will require the most
rigid economy to keep the total be-
low $1,000. 100000,
The great question confronting
congress is, where is the money to
come from? Already a deficit of
500, 100000 for the fiscal year is
indicated, and the treasury surplus,
which exceeded $3.50, 100000 a few
years ago. is rapidly diminishing to
the disappearance point, When the
siNty-hrst congress comes into life,
it will face the problem of raising
probably $500. 100000 year more
than the present revenue laws sup
ply. and the indications are that the
bulk of this sum will have to come
from domestic sources.
In this connection. it may be not
ed that there is a continual decline
in the amount derived from liquor
taxes. The prohibition movement
throughout the country is beginning
to tell and the prospects are good
for further reductions in the revenue
from liquor sources. 1t has been
proposed to materially increase the
beer tax, but the ultimate effect Of
this will be to curtail the amount of
beer consumed.
Apparently, congress Will be COM
PEELED TO search out other sources OF
revenue, or bankruptcy is but a
question of time With the exception
of coffee, no import of general con-
sumption is untaxed at present, but
coffee can not close the gap between
receipts and expenditures. Very like
