big DEFICIT FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-Leaders
Of the administration. In conference
today with President Wilson, decided
that there was no immediate need for
legislative action to increase the gov
ernments revenues. Secretary Nc
Adoo of he treasury announced to-
night 1t had been agreed that at the
end of the fiscal year the government
would better know the effects OF the
European war and what, IL anything,
is necessary to be done.
Mr.. McAdoo declared that he still
stood by his estimate Of the govern
ment's revenue for the fiscal year end
ing next June, which, compared with
his estimates of expenditures, would
leave a deficit of $40, OOO, 900.
Have Cut to Limit.
1t was understood after the confer
ence that suggestions that the war
venue act be extended for six
months and that congress abandon the
$S4,000,000 river and harbor bill struck
no responsive chord. On the other
hand, the cabinet officers were said
to have made it plain, that, in accord
ance with the presidents suggestion,
they had cut their estimates Of ex-
penditures to the very limit and could
not make further reductions without
risking impairing the efficiency Of
their departments.
The estimates sent to congress in
December aggregated $40. OOO, 900, to
which $4,000. 900 was to be added for
Panama canal disbursements. Some
additional estimates have been sent in
since then, however, and substantial
additions to the proposed a~ppropria-
tons have been made by the house
committees in drafting and supply
bills.
Secretary McAdoo's estimate Of rev.
enues, exclusive of the p~ostoffice de-
partment, was $72S, 0O0, 900. This in
cluded $220,0OO,00O from customs,
1905. 100000 from ordinary internal
revenue, $4,000, 900 from the emerg-
ency war a and $4,000, 900 from the
income and corporation tax.
Secretary McAdoo's Statement.
In a statement on the white house
conference which Majority Leader Uni
derwood and Chairman Fitzgerald of
the house appropriations attended, Mr..
McAdoo said:
"Since the new tariff and income tax
law was passed in 1913 there is de-
ferred until June of each fiscal year
the payment into the treasury of sew
enty-fve to eighty million dollars of
corporation and personal income tax.
Previous to that time almost the total
receipts of the government were re-
flected in the revenues collected daily
and show in the daily treasury state
ment. In June 1915, almost the entire
amount of the corporation and person
al income tax will be paid, just as in
1914. and what appears to be a loss
in revenue will in the meantime be
overcome"
