REPUBLICANS PLAN
TO SLASH COSTS OF
US. GOVERNMENT

Washington, Dec. S.-A program of
huge reductions in government ex-
penditures and continuation of the
present high taxes constitutes the
financial policy which house repub-
hcans have determined to insist on
during the next eighteen months.
This agreement reached at a con-
terence of a Score of prominent re-
publican members, is necessary if the
federal treasury is to be prevented
from piling up additional deficits TO
be added to the war debt.
Figures submitted by the house an
preparations committee estimate that
congress before the end of the fiscal
year 1920-21 will be asked to appro-
pirate the huge peace time total of
nearly $4,000, 100000. In the face of
this sum the republicans have deter
to cut to the bone and force
economy in governmental expendi-
lures. Chairman Good of the appro-
prlatlons committee said today. The
larger estimate, according to commit
tees figures includes nearly $1,000
ooo,oOO which Secretary Glass recent
" asked as the regular appropriation
Tor the fiscal year ending June 30.
1871; So, 50,000,000 estimated as the
deficiency for the present fiscal year
and about $4,000 100000 forl def
'lenc1es in the fiscal year 1920-21.
