ESTIMATE CUT
BY TREASURY
PULLING
International News Service

international News Service
Extraordinary interest was
aroused here today over how the
Treasury Department effected the
$1,246,525,110 slash in govern
mental expenditure estimates
which formed the basis Of Presi'
dent Roosevelt's optimistic budget
statement.
The 500, 4s4,265 reduction in
national defense estimates was
viewed as particularly puzzling.
The Presidents budget sum-
mary cited the fact that under
revised estimates expenditures for
national defense during the fiscal
year 1886 would total only seven
hundred million dollars Of the
1892, 484,265, which represented
the original estimate.
No Curtailments Listed
This led to the belief that a
reduction had been ordered in the
originally authorized expenditures
for national defense purposes.
However, both the War and
Navy Departments professed COM
plete ignorance Of any reduction
in the funds originally authorized
for national defense purposes.
No instructions were sent to the
budget officers Of either depart
ment to curtail any expenditures
authorized on the basis Of original
estimates.
The only explanation offered,
and this was private rather than
official, was that perhaps the
Treasury had utilized unexpended
balances from the 1885 fiscal year
as q means of effecting a reduc'
ton in the amount of new funds
needed for the 1885 fiscal year
estimated expenditures.
The various Government depart
ments, it was pointed out, FIRE
uuently have funds left over when
the new fiscal year commences
These funds are known as the
"carry-over."
Matter Of Bookkeeping
The belief prevailed that the
Treasury may have taken the
total amount of this "carry-over'
in the 1895 national defense funds
and subtracted it from the est
mated expenditures for 1886.
This would effect reduction ir
the amount of new funds needed
for expenditures but it would moi
represent any actual saving Of
money.
The War and Navy Depart
ments were not the only one:
which evinced bewilderment a.
the Treasury figures. Other Gov
eminent agencies also professec
ignorance of any instructions fol
drastic curtailment Of expendi
lures.

A Tribute to Mother.

The celebration of Mothers Day comes second to the
celebrations associated with Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, because mothers love is more like unto that
which Christ demonstrated than any other.
When the country set apart special day in every
wear to be observed Mothers Day, it evident that
high honor should be given Mother yet this great
honor is no compensation for the deep love that Mother
has for her child Mothers love can stand all types
of endurance tests it fails and it matters not how
low the depths the daughter sinks the Mother Is
there reaching out toilworn hands to lift him her
up to higher ground.
The mere customary acts of giving gifts, preparing
special programs wearing red white carnations can be
termed as Sounding Brass or a Thinking Cymbal," if
do not show by our lives and conduct that hold the
teachings that Mother at her knee and that we
are worthy of her continued prayers.
