Chairman House Appropriations
Com m ttee Declares in
Speech Today-Condit
He Says, Are Alarming.
STRICTEST ECONOMY
Is NOW ESSENTIAL
Representative Good of Iowa
Recommends Appointment
Finance Officer to Oversee
All Expenditures.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The federal
treasury already faces a deficit of $3.-
591,273,345.26 for the present fiscal year
Representative Good, Iowa, chairman
of the house appropriations committee
declared in a speech to the house to-
day. Good sounded a warning that
the actual condition confronting the
treasury is so alarming that we may
well pause and calmly consider obi
cations already existing and that must
be met before entering on enlarged
programs which call for additional ex-
penditures."
The demands on the treasury during
the present fiscal years are staggering,
Good said. While the average peace
time expenditure of the government is
slightly more than $1,000, 900, 900 Good
declared that the total requirements of
the government outside the present
urgent deficiency bill and appropria-
tions that will be asked for by June go
1920, will be s1O,S31, POI, 5S5.26. The
revenues for the. fiscal year, he said,
will be s7.239, 92S,240
ASKS FINANCE OFFICER.
Good strongly recommended the APP
pointment by President Wilson of
national finance officer to have COM
plete oversight over all government ex-
penditures so that economy may be
practiced to the limit by the govern
ment adding that the high cost of liv-
Ing probably can not be materially re-
duced while the government continues
its "orgy of spending"
Good enumerated the revenues of the
country as follows:
Internal revenue, income, excess
profits and estate taxes s4,940, 900, oOO
customs $3.50, 100000; public lands, So
100000; war salvage $500. 100000 VIC
tory loan instaliments 1902, 900, 900;
postal service $404,928,24O.
OF the expenditures Good said, ST.
345,617,2 S35S is for direct approprfa-
tons. while the balance will be ex-
pended this year under appropriations
previously made.
PRACTICE ECONOMY.
Good called upon the President to
use his authority to practice the
strictest governmental economy.
He has the authority under the law
and should exercise it to the end that
estimates for appropriations may be
greatly reduced and that the treasury,
which Is the first line of defense
against public extravaganza, may re-
establish it's lines on a policy of eff
