SEEK FIVE BILLIONS
TO RUN UNITED STATES
Estimates of Departments for 1921
Will Be Cut Under $4,000
100000 Mark.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Estimates of
the government departments for appropri-
atoms during the fiscal year of l920-2l
probably will total between 8, 900, 900 goo
and 5000, 000, 600, Republican and. Demo-
cratic leaders of the mouse appropriations
committee believe.
These figures are about three times the
pre-war expenditures of the government,
and members of the appropriations com
mittee believe it will be several years be-
fore the government expense account goes
back to near normal.
Representative Good {Iowa) chairman
Of the committee, believes the estimates,
which viii be submitted to congress upon
the opening of the regular session next
Monday, will total close to $1,000, 900, 900
He is certain that congress- will cut this
figure to less than $1,000 600 Repre-
sentative Byrnes (Tenn), ranking Demo
crat on the committee, thinks the de
partments will ask for not more than 81,
0Oo, 100000. Congress always cuts est
mates, but he believes the maximum re
duction will not cut down the total more
than $500, Oo0, 900.
Despite the large estimates expected
appropriations are certain TO be less thar
| half of the amount spent during the pres
| ent year. which Mr. Good states will b'
close to sl0OOo, 900 600 Likewise it vii
| be about one-ffth of the expenditure dur
! ing last year of the war, which wer'
above SOC, 900 900 900.
