The economy which this Administra-
ton is practicjng this year in the use Of
the Governments money is merely a
temporary arrangement, according to

crosses will continue to be the rule.

OPERATION OF
THE PAYNE BILL
IN COMPARISON WITH DINGLEY
LAW NOT FULLY DETERMINED
Probably VIII Be Week Before

MORE BUSINESS ACTIVITY SEEN

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Treasury
officials state 1t will be probably a
week before there will be any intel
ligent way of getting at a COMPARE
son of the operations OF the Dingley
and Payne tariff bills.
The receipts from customs sources
since the passage OF the Payne bill
have been largely made up from
goods in bond or from vessels that
started from foreign ports before the
news of the Payne bill had been re-
ceived.
The Shipping and Importing
World ascertained on the morning of
August 6. the new bill having gone
into effect that day, that thereafter
all shipments would be made on the
basis of the Payne bill. Within a
week or ten days ships arriving In
this country with goods will do so
with the knowledge that the cargoes
will pay the rates of the Payne bill.
Evidences of returning business
activities are apparent in the re-
ceipts from internal revenue for the
first month and half of this fiscal
year. The total from this source
has been $32.O1s,O6O. compared
with S3O.212.999 for the same peri
cd last year
The deficit thus far this fiscal
year is less than 1t was for the cor
responding period last year For
the first month and a half OF this
fis N year the total receipts from all
sources were sS1.s41.15l and the
total expenditures s99.523. O60. maxi
ing deficit OF sl7.5S1.9O6. Up to

ceipts had been s7O.f02 .59S and the
