INTERESTING LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
Especial to the Record)
(By II. j. Dyer.I

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-There is
lot likely to be much dissent from
the country at large over the pas
sage of the new pension bill adding
S45, 900, 900 to the expenditures OF
he government; and yet there was
lere and there voice raised against
it on the floor OF congress. At the
risk, perhaps, of encountering the
enmity Of the Soldier VOTE" Serene
.,ayne OF New York said:
I'VE have never had an estimate
Jet that was not exceeded by many
millions of dollars by the actual pay
.nents under the law. The expendi-
lures under this act are likely to
De nearer $60,OO0.00O than $45,OO0,-
900.
"The astonishing statement was
made In the debate: Already this
,-ar. after we have paid expenses
II this great republic from the rev.
enuo Laws O. the country In the
,irst sin months, we have 100000, OOO
urplrs, and it is fair to say on the
lsl da, of July next that $4,000, 0OO
will be doubled to 100000 900.
ION the contrary, the daily state
ment of the treasury department
lated January 8. 1911, reported Q
ieficit for the fiscal year beginning
July / last of $6.52S.6l6.04. without
counting the further deficit Of $19,
1922, 665.57 disbursements for the Pan
anna canal, making total deficit Of
1875, 451 ,281.61, Here Is mistake
amounting to more than fifty-si,
ar.l one-half million dollars. II this
bill is enacted, 1t will produce al
enormous deficit"
Mr.. Payne referred to the Presi
