MONEY B|LLSFACE
PRESIDENTIAL VETO
Coolidge Considers Total OF
Measures Would BE Ex-
orbitant Demand.

Unless some OF the many bills now
pending in Congress which call for
large expenditures OF public funds are
killed, President Coolidge will make use
of the veto to safeguard the Treasury
from what he would regard as an ex-
orbisant demand upon its resources.
The President made this clear this
morning to Representative TilSon OF
Connecticut. Republican floor leader OF
the House Congress has already
awakened 10 the necessity of defeating
or tearing down some of these mea- :
ureS, MIR. Tilson told the President.
The President and the Republican
floor leader at a White House confer
enee went over nearly all the money
bills, outside of the regular Govern
ment supply measures, which are not
involved i'm the present situation, haV~
ing already been considered IN connee-
tion with the available Government
revenues. and the budget estimates.

On leaving the White House MIR, TIL
son said various other measures, which
would authorize the expenditure OF pub
lie money beginning III the next lseal
wear and continuing for the next 10
Years would amount I'm the aggregate
to more than 81 100. 100000 This eSti-
mate. he said, has been made by
Chairman Smell of the House rules eom~
mittee.
The President was supplied several
days ago with list of the pending
measures authorizing new anpEopria~
tlons. and has been STUDYING them, The
Weieh bill, providing for about &is,~
900. 900 increase In salaries of Govern
nlent employees was en- this list and So
was the flood control bill,
MIR l'ilSon said that the Weleh SAL
