Despite the warnings OF the administra-
ton, il is already apparent that the ap-
prOpriatiOns OF the present Congress will
be considerably in excess Of 100000
Every effort has been made by the lead
ers 10 hold expenditures within a billion,
but they admit that they have failed. In
creased appropriations have been granted
for practically every department Of the
government except the army and the In
dian Service. There will be a reduction
in the sundry civil expenses.
It was only a few years ago that
political issue was made out of a "Bil-
lion-dollar Congress" Now Congress ap-
propriates a billion or more every session.
The expenditures authorized for the cur
rent fiscal year footed up TO $1,0H00O,0OO.
Indications are that the appropriations
of this session will go beyond that
amount. There Is a prospect that the
leaders by cutting authorized expendi-
lures may be able to hold the appropria-
tons down 20 that figure

trenchment. members have been as i'm
