REPUBLICAN ECONOMICS
STOP DEFICIT

The Secretary of the Treasury has
given assurance that because of the
tremendous economies effected by
the Republican Congress, the ordi-
nary revenues Of the Government
for the old fiscal year, which ended
June 20, will meet the ordinary ex-
penditures. An estimate of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 80 last pub
lished IN the report of the Secretary
Of the Treasury for the year 1919,
showed a deficit Of approximately a
billion dollars in the ordinary trans
actions Of the Government. On
June Secretary Of the Treasury
Houston gave out a statement in
which he said, referring to the fiscal
year ending June 30. ''The complet-
ed fiscal years operation should
show little, If any deficit, the Gov
ernmeit having about balanced its
budget for the first full year after
fighting stopped Here we have
reflected in an official statement the
actual saving Of the Republican
Conptess. asserts Representative
Frank w. Mondeh, of Wyoming,
Republican floor leader. A billion
dollars Of deficit in the years op-
Grafton was the official estimate be-
fore Congress had clipped a billion
dollars from the appropriation bills.
Now we have official assurance that
the ordfnry revenues of the year
will meet the ordinary expenditures
The saving effected is thus demon
strated in the condition of the Trea-

people had suffered.
