FIRST BUDGET
THREE ANDONE
HALF BILLIONS
Estimate For Fiscal Year
1923 to be Submitted to
Congress Soon
DRASTIC ECONOMIES
Raid on Pork Barrel Predicted if
Scheme Does Not Meet Wishes of
congressman.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The first
budget under the new law enacted in
the last session of congress is nearing
completion and soon will be ready for
submission confidentially to the house
appropriations committee.
It is expected to call for an out
lay for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1923, close to S3,500,000,0 900, ex-
elusive of the naval establishment, es-
innate, for which will have to be sub
mitted when the result of the arms
conference is known. Of this nearly
a billion dollars will be interest on
the public debt, sum approximating
the total cost Of maintaining the gov
ernment in the fiscal year running
from July 1, 1915, to June 80, 1916.
Leaders are hopeful that the budget
will reveal drastic cuts initiated by
the executive department in carrying
out one of the ideas that lay back of
the budget It was put through on
the argument that it would produce
immciiate economies in all branches
of the government.
The budget will be referred to the
appropriations committee, which will
prepare the bills carrying into effect
the several appropriations. This will
be continuation of the general plan
that has been in effect in congress
for many years.
After the appropriations committee
has prepared the bills they will be
subject to acceptance in the house,
wheer they may be increased or de-
creased at the will of the member
ship.
Already members are considering
organized raids on the pork barrel in
the event the budget does not recon-
mend what they desire. Movements
are under way for construction of
public buildings and improvements of
waterways. The war put stop to
both. Urgent appeals for buildings
have been received from all sections
since 1917.
