TREASURY HEAD
GIVES ESTIMATES
Total Increase of $3,347 1893 in Gov
ernments Expenses for 1912
Are Indicated.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Showing
little opportunity for retrenchment In
the regular departmental appropria'
lions, the estimates of the secretary
of the treasury for funds needed to
conduct the government for the year
ending June 80. 1912, were transmit
ted to congress today. The estimates
on which will be based the bills APP
propriating the departmental budgets,
show a total increase over the esti-
mates for the fiscal year. ending June
80. 1911, of s3.347,s6S.
Besides this increase, the estimates
for 1912 omit any provision for the
deficiency In postal revenues, which.
IN the 1911 estimates, was placed at
$l0,634.122.
Only three OF the department to-
tails as prepared by the secretary OF
the treasury are less than the esti-
mates for 1911. They are the figures
10 territorial government, decrease
$4,000; the navy department decrease
$93l,S7 and the interior department
deer use, j. ,072,307.
n the territorial government de-
partment. the decrease Is partially &C
counted for by the looping off OF $40,-
600 thar was estimated for the legis-
lative expenses of Arizon and New
Mexico In 1911.
IL appears from the ures that the
saving in the navy estimates involves
a reduction OF $S,131.799 from the es-
Inmates OF 1911, for the item entered
as Increase Of the navy" The navy
estimate is less than the actual APP
preparation for 1911, by about five mil
lion.
The executive department estimates
for the White House, the president
and the vice-president show an ir 'rease
OF over 100000 more than doubling
the 1911 estimate. The treasury de-
partment shows an increase of a lit
tie less than Ave million. the war de-
partment an increase OF about the
same amount, and the department OF
agriculture an increase of 81 ,999.930.
According to the figures OF the sec
rotary of the treasury the total figures
based on the estimates OF 1911, In
Guiding $l0,200.000 for the thirteenth
census, the miscellaneous and perman-
ent annual deficiencies. and the $l0,-
6S4.122 of the postal deficit, amount
ed 10 $S05,294,5l2
The estimates for 1912 therefore,
II they should he strictly adhered TO
In the appropriations, would show a
saving OF c56,S79,6 $50. as compared
with the appropriations for 1911, but
this is not considered likely
