Government has ss2,ooo,ooo Surplus

Washington.-The federal govern
ment closed the fiscal year June 30
with a surplus OF $4,000, 900. accord
ing to estimates based on incomplete
returns from the sources of revenue
the country over. This amount far ex-
ceeded the most sanginue expecta-
tions of Secretary Mcveagh. who
months ago estimated that the surplus
would be S1O,250,000.
The surplus at the close of the fls-
cal year 1911 was s45,6S2.0OO.
The failure of Congress to pass the
general deficiency and other appropria-
tion bills which would have called for
large disbursements during the closing
days Of the fiscal year helped the gov
ernment to pile up its surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax which. it is
calculated, brought in s2,000,00O
against S33 100000 last year.
Custom receipts yielded about S31O.-
100000 this fiscal year. against $314,-
100000 last. while internal revenue
taxes amounted to S292 100000 against
$3.50 100000.
The taxation on beer indicated that
the American people consumed 3,OOO.-
600 barrels during the year. The gov
ernment realized S149,OOO,0O0 in dis
TILED spirits, S63,0O0,C0O on beer and
S70,000.000 on tobacco.
