american News Service,


Washington. d. c., Jan. 2S.-ln these
DAYS of discussion over President
Taft's "retrenchment" policy it is not
without interest to recall the fact that
tomorrow will mark the 15Oth anniver-
sary of the birth OF Albert GallatiD,
who probably was the first official in
charge OF the national purse who made
it his chief business to keep down ex-
penses. Gallatin was holding the po-
sition of Secretary of the Treasury In
the cabinet OF President Madison just
a century ago. He was first appointed
to the office by President Jefferson in
1901 and served continuously for
twelve years.
To pay the national debt and at the
same time reduce taxes were Gala
tins chief aims and in order to carry
his policy to success he naturally had
to keep a close eye on the expendi
lures Of the government. He dealt
with a revenue of only $1O.6OO,OO ar
absurdly small sum in comparison
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-01-29

with the present revenue Of nearly q
billion dollars. OF his 10,6O0 600 rev
enue, Gallatin proposed to appropriate
81, 100000 yearly to paying off the ma
tional debt At this rate he calculated
that the interest and principal of the
debt, amounting at that time to about
$50. 0OO, 900. would be paid in full in
sixteen years.
The sum of $65o.0O0 of the nations
total revenue came from the internal
revenue tax. This was an antirepubli-
can tax. and Gallatin's policy involved
it's abandonment. Taking out the re
ceipts from the internal tax and the
amount set aside for debt payment.
Gallatin had left from his yearly reve-
nue.. $2,650,O0O for the entire annual
expenses of the government. He al
lowed $3.50, 900 for the annual expenses
OF the army and 100000 for the navy
leaving about 81 100000 for the entire
civil list.
| In less than eleven years time while
letting the internal taxes go and pay
ing, unexpectedly. the full purchase
money of $15.O00,000 for Louisiana
Gallatin succeeded in reducing thu
public debt from $s0,O0O,00O t
$45, O00, 0Oe.
