CERTIFICATE ISSUE
CANNOT BE DELAYED
Condition Of the Treasury Close of First Two Months
Of the Fiscal Year Indicates Short I erm Bonds
Must Be Forthcoming Shortly.

The condition Of the Treasury at the
close of the first two months Of the
fiscal year makes it practically certain
t1at an issue Of certificates o. indebted
ness cannot be long delayed.
In another form. this amounts TO an
issue Of short-term Government bonds.
1t ha@ been expected for some time that
such ar issue would come In the light
Of the present Treasury conditions, the
officials no longer conceal the fact that
there w!n probably have to be such an
issue, and that before many weeks.
The fact that there is TO be an issue
Of certificates of Indebtedness cannot
be taken as indicating scant Treasury
receipts. 1t does point. however. to the
ttct that enormous Government ex-
pendituTes are more than eating up
enormous Government receipts.
The return of prosperous conditions,
coupled with the fact that for various
reasons the putting into effect Of the
new tariff law brought IN heavy re-
ceipts. made the customs returns Cor
August unusually heavy. Yet In spite
Of this fact. and In spite OF large re-
Ceipts from other quarters, the Treas
ury statement shows that at the close
OF August the deficit for the fiscal year
thus far was over SOS. 600, 900 on the basis
OF all receipts and expenditures. and
over S200000oO on the basis of ordinary
receipts and expenditures. At the same
time. the Treasury shows a deficit for
August Of more than SlO,OO0.O 900 on the
basis OF all receipts and disbursements,
and more than S7,O00OO on the basis Of
ordinary receipts and disbursements.
Receipts Increase.
Customs receipts for August were at
a much higher level than they were a
year ago. Internal revenue re-
ceipts are also running heavier. These
facts point to good business conditions.
But Congress has been lavish in ap-
preparations and money is going out OF
Uncle Sam s pockets as If there were
holes OF huge proportions in them.
Tor instance, In TIE two months of
the current fiscal year which have thus
far passed, the navy expenditures have
been much over S3.00D. 900 in excess of the
outlay for the months OF July and
August a year ago. For the same
months, the War Department expendi-
lures have run ahead of those of July
and Angus last year by more than
$1,000 600 THO expenditures for. pensions
haze been about Sl.5O0OOO heavier thus
far in the current fiscal year than they
were in July and August Of last year
Under such conditions II seems hope
less TO expect that the income of the
Treasury is going to keep ABREAST Of the
out-gO. A deficit Of large proportions is
pretty certain to be shown when this
Hscal year ends. The working balance
IN the treasury is getting down TO about
the $31OO0OO0 mark. And at the same
time, the Government deposits in the
national bank depositaries are no longer
heavy

afternoon in Tacoma and was met

of the owner of the Portland base
