His attack was supported by Senator Cur tis, who asserted that the burden of taxation should not be placed on the American people and that revenues should be raised by a protective tar if
 To prove his contention that normal appropriations of this session are not excessive, Senator Simmons submit ted treasury department estimates for the year 1917, showing that, excIud- ing postal appropriations, bond issues already authorized and amounts that will not be expended, revenues must be provided for disbursements of S1,- l26, 243,00 Of this amount the total appropriated for national defense would aggregate about $654,00O,00O and the senator submitted other figures to prove that this extraordinary amount due to preparedness and the Mexican emergency, exceeded normal defense by about $372, ,280,0 900.
