 With such a reduction the taxes to be paid this fiscal year would approx innate $3,07O,000,000 on the basIs of treasury estimates presented to the committed, and would include s235,- 000.00O estimated back taxes. In ad- dition to this income, the treasury fig ures customs receipts under the pro posed new tariff law at $370,000,O00 and income from miscellaneous sourc- es at about S350, ,000, 1000, making d tot al of $3,790, ,000,OtO as against an out. go estimated in the treasury state ment at $4,554, 100000.
 Supporters or the tax cut declare, however, that the apparent deficiI or 764,000,000 would be greatly decreas. ed through additional collections in back taxes, estimated at probably $l00,000,000, larger income from mis eellaneous sources and decreases ill expenditures including those on ac- count of the public debt and the va rious federal departments.
