tai proposed under the revised bill was
only S52000,OJO more than the treas
uIy had estimated would have to be
raised through internal taxes, ,he re-
port said that this was margin OF
safety none too large for the fiscal
year 1922, in view Of the existing bust
ness depression and the uncertainty az
teaching to the yield Of the income and
profits taxes

port said, "on the assumption that
with the exception OF the special rail
road expenditures, which will be near
ly if not wholly completed in the fisca
! year 1922-the aggregate expenditure
for the fiscal year 1923 will be substan
italy as large as in the fiscal veal
1922. The special railroad expendit
ures included in the 1922 bulge
amount, in round numbers, 10 100000,
I00O and the receipts from customs anc
miscellaneous sources for the fisca
year 1928 are estimated at S73O,O0O,OOO
Deducting both amounts ($l,23O,OOO,
000) from the total estimated expend
lures for 1922 ($4034, 000,000) Leaves
in round figures $3.50, 500 100000 to b,
