mates made q most gratifying reduc-
ton in the expenditures. The peak
OF ordinary expenditures was reached
In the fiscal year 1919. $1s.5l4.0O0,-
900. The drop to the fiscal year 1920
IL most extraordinary. the total for
that year being s6.403,00O,000. For
the fiscal year 1921 further reces-
sion brought the total down to S.
115.927.6S9. For the fiscal year
1922 the total, as heretofore stated,
came down to s3,795. 100000. This
sum includes s422. 100000 OF public
debt retirements chargeable to ordi-
nary receipts and should be elimi-
mated from the s3.795. 100000 in or
der to obtain figure comparable to
expenditure figures for the fiscal
years 1919, 1920 and 1921. The
1922 expenditures. therefore, exclu-
sive of public debt retirements. are
S3.372. 607.s9 The reduction OF
1922 under 1920 is $4,000, 900, 900
and the reduction of 1922 under 1871
is s1.743,S19.7ss.
Evidence OF the value OF the cen
tralization OF Congressional RESPONSE
bility In connection with the public
appropriations is. furnished in the
fact that Congress appropriated for
1923 ssl2,172.2s2 less than the
Budget Bureau requested. In other
words. although frequently charged
with being the spendthrift branch OF
the government. in point OF fact the
Congress appropriated seven per cent
less than the budget estimates asked
tor.
The people of the United States
have just reason to be proud OF the
financial record of this administra
tion. While other countries are
struggling with huge deficits in theil
budgets and are burdened with enor
nous taxes and staggering public
debt the United States has shown 6
surplus for the ascal year just CLOSED
and at the same time accomplished ,
most gratifying reduction in It's pub
lie debt.

President Harding took ONCE on
March 4. 1921. The hrst complete
hscal year of government business
under his administration began on
July /. 1921. and closed on June
80. 1922. The Budget Bureau was
created in June. 1921. practically
simultaneously with the commence
ment OF the fiscal year. The esti-
mated expenditures tentatively sub
mitted by the various departments
for the fiscal year 1922 aggregated
$3.50. 900. 900. The operations OF
that fiscal year have just closed. BY
the application OF pressure by the
President. exerted through the
Budget Bureau and with the coopera-
tion OF the heads OF departments and
other administrative officers. the or
binary expenditures for 1922 actual
ly amount to $S,795, 100000, re-
duction OF 100000 from the
figure submitted by the departments
at the beginning OF the fiscal year.
The first budget submitted in De-
cember indicated a dehcit for this
same fiscal year OF $24. 100000. How
successful the efforts OF the admins
tration have been in holding down
expenditures and conserving revenue
10 attested by the fact that instead
OF u deficit there was a surplus for
the year OF 100000.
The total public debt OF the United
States on June 80. 1921. one year
ago, was 323.977. 1000, 900. This sum
had been reduced on June 80, 1922,
to s22,963, 100000 a reduction of
el.O14,OOO,000.
The policy Of the administration
has been return to normal condi-
ions in public expenditures. How
veil this has been accomplished is
amply reflected by a glance at the e1-
Jenditure 6gures OF preceding years.
The Republican party gained con-

OF 1918 and came into power In Con

south and southwest, shifted suddenly
into the northwest and increased in
velocity 10 lightweight miles, and
sweeping through New Jersey, West
chester county, across City Island, the
Bronx and Manhattan, left death ana
destruction in its wake.
Torreutial rains, then lightning, fol
loked the wind.
Hundreds of thousands of New
Workers were on the beaches and at
various outlying resorts, seeking re
lief from the heat, when the storm
broke, and it was from these that the
storm took its death toll.
Forty persons are reported to have
been drowned off City Island in Long

hit the city, capsized scores Of small
pleasure craft. Ten bodies have been
