THE Great Waltz"

THE week at the National Theater
which begins Monday, November
II. will be the third engagement Max
Gordon's mammoth musical, THE
Great Waltz" has played since it left
the Center Theater in New York and
will be the first road engagement
played in a regular theater.
Because of the size of the produc-
ton few theaters have stage room
enough to house the huge scenic equip
ment. Even at the National, which
has one of the largest stages in the
country, something akin to q shoe
horn will be required to fit The Great
Waltz" in. It will be seen in all its
original splendor, however, the pro-
ducer promises.
THE Great Waltz" is, without a
doubt, the largest musical production
ever to be sent on tour. There are
14o people with the company and sew
en- baggage cars are required to trans
port the scenery and effects.
The cast here, as in New York, will
be headed by Guy Robertson, Lee
whitney, Charles Romano, Vivian Fay,
Solly Ward and Sam Mann. The pro-
duction was conceived and directed
by Hassard Short, the music is from
the works of Johann Strauss, sr. and
Jr.; Moss Hart wrote the book, Alber-
tina Rasch staged the dances, Albert
Johnson designed the scenery and
Doris zinkelson created the costumes.

of the final per cent of the Is per
cent salary reduction abountS to
about $40 100000 for the regular de-
partments and establishments, ex-
elusive of the postal service. The
latter service requires an additional
sum of SIS 100000 for this purpose.
Provision has been made in 1886
for an increase in the civil-service
department and disability fund of
$40, 100000 over 1885, making a total
annual contribution to this fund of
$4,000 900.
This increase will enable the Gov
eminent to meet more nearly is
annual obligation with respect to
this fund. 1t has been estimated
that this obligation amounts to $751;
100000, but such estimate has not
been sufficiently established to iusti-
fy its inclusion in the budget. An
effort will be made during the
coming year, however, definitely to
establish the Governments annual
liability, the amount of which will
be included in the 1887 budget.
Likewise, an increase of $4,000 900
is recommended in the veterans
adjusted-s service certificate fund,
thus bringing the total annual con-
tribution to this fund up to $780,
100000. The actuarial require
ment of the fund for 1886 has been
estimated at $155,0O0,0OO An effort
will also be made during the COM
ing year to establish this fund on
more definite basis consistent with
the Governments actual liability
under existing law.
The expenditures for national de-
Tense have been increased for 1886
over 1885 by $4,000 900. This in
crease is due to the current policy
of the Congress and the Executive
to make up for The delay by the
United States in meeting the pro-
visions Of the naval treaties of 1922
and 1880, and to provide replace
ment and improved equipment for
the army. Veterans pensions and
other requirements have also been
increased by about $130, 10000, af-
ter adding to the 1885 figure the
estimated supplemental amount
previously mentioned, which is due
to the application of new laws and
revised rules pertaining to service
connected disabilities.
The estimated expenditures for
recovery and relief during 1886 ere
placed at $4,110,000,000, excluding
$472 100000 for the Agricultural Adj
justment Administration. I recon-
mend that $4,000, 100000 be appro-
priated by the Congress in one sum,
subject to ALLEGATION by the Execu-
tive principally for giving work to
those unemployed on the relief
rolls. An estimate of expenditure
covering this amount is included in
the budget.
The total receipts for the fiscal
year 1886 are estimated at approx
mately $3,992,0 100000. When $780,
100000 of estimated processing taxes
are deducted from this amount,
there will remain for general pur-
poses $3,422, 100000.

sive picture Of the financial require
ments Of the government. 1t ex-
hibits the anticipated receipts from
all sources and the estimates ex-
penditures for all purposes. 1t also
shows the deficit and indicates the
proposed means of financing this
deficit.
Annexed budgets are set up for
the major seIf-supporting or self
contained units of the government,
namely. the Post Office department
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton, the Tennessee Valley Author
itv, and the District of Columbia.
The use of such budgets permits the
receipts and expenditures of each
of these units to be clearly and
completely presented in gross figures
and in balanced form, as has not
hitherto been done. BY following
this method, the net figures for each
unit, which may be either appro-
priation needs or surplus receipts,
as calculated and then carried to
the general budget summary.
Thus the financial requirements
of these units are definitely tied
into the general budgetary plan.
The annexed budgets are therefore
not in any sense independent or
multiple budgets but simply integral
parts Of the governments general
budget.
