than 1894, or total Of S1,O5l ,OOO,-
900. The receipts from miscellane-
Gus interal-revenue taxes, exclusive
Of prot eSSing taxes, are expected to
produce 100000 more in D
than in 1884. thus bringing the total
yield up to s1,543, 600, 900. It is eStl-
mated that customs will show de-
crease for 1885 under 1884 OF about
$4,000 900, due to the Cuban sugar
agreement and to the foreign-trade
situation in general. Miscellaneous
revenues and other receipts from
the realization of certain assets are
expected to yield for 1885 about
S227 900 900, an increase OF S66,OOO,-
900 over 1884.
The deficit for the fiscal year 1885
is estirated at s4,869 100000, includ-
ing S573, 600 900 for statutory debt
retirements. On Dec. 26, 1884, the
gross national debt stood at s28,-
484 900 900. 1t is estimated that the
gross debt on June 30, 1885, will
amount to about s31 900, 100000. In
the budget message Of last year II
was estimated that the national DEBT
on June 80 would amount to S3l,-
300 900, 900. According to the latest
estimates. the debt will not reach
this amount by $SoO,0O0,O00.

able legislation to extend the mis-
cellaneous internal revenue taxes,
which under existing law will ex-
pire next June or July, and also to
maintain the current rate of these
taxes which will be reduced next
June. I consider that such taxes
are necessary to the financing #
the budget for 1886.
In this connection, may say, too,
that the postal revenues, as esti-
mated in detail in the annexed
budget of the Post Office Depart
ment, are based on the continuation
of the Scent postage rate for non
local first-clasS mail. Unless this
rate is continued, the postal ex-
penses for 1886, which include
steamship and aircraft subsidies and
free carriage of government mail,
will be increased by about S75,000,-
600, all of which will become an
added burden on the general reve-
nue. of the Treasury. I, therefore,
recommend the extension of the s.
cent rate.
If the estimates submitted in this
budget are approved, and if the. ex-
penditures for which authorization
is asked are made in full, the de-
felt, including statutory debt re-
tirements, will amount to $4,528,-
100000 for the fiscal year 1886. The
national debt will be increased dur
ing this year by approximately
3,152 100000, thus bringing the
total debt up to $34, 1899 100000. But
this increase as I have pointed out,
will be due solely to continued re-
lief of unemployment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T.
The following is the text of
President Roosevelt's message
transmitting to Congress the
new Federal budget for the
fiscal year ending June 80,
1895:
The budget of the United States
Government for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1886, OF which this
message is definitely a part, is
transmitted herewith for your con-
sideration. 1t deals principally with
the moneys carried in the general
and special accounts of the Gov
eminent, which constitute the great
bulk Of the general fund, as this
fund is shown on the first page Of
the daily Treasury statement. The
remainder Of the general fund con-
sists mainly of moneys carried in
trust accounts, which are not
strictly Government moneys, and
therefore enter only incidentally
into the financial picture presented
by the general budget summary.

Emergency Agencies

A number of the emergency agen-
cies now authorized by law will
terminate during the present fiscal
year. Most of these agencies fill
important present needs and should
be continued. AS rapidly as seems
practicable, I am bringing the adj
ministrative expenses of these agen-
cieS under the supervision of the
Director of the Budget.
Many of the estimates of appro-
priations contained in the budget
are based on the continuation of
certain legislative provision with
reference to economy which are now
in force. They are appended hereto
and should be re-enacted if the eS-
Inmates are to be sustained. Among
those continued is the provision for
certain special salary reductions,
the suspension of the re-enliStment
bonus to men of the Military and
Naval services, the reduction in
travel allowances of certain postal
employees, permitting temporary re-
assignment of duties of certain pos
tai employees, reduction in fees of
jurors and witnesses, permitting
transfers between appropriations,
and the involuntary retirement of
federal employees having 80 years
service.
Specific provision is also made for
service credits to certain personnel
affected by the suspension of in
creases in pay during the fiscal years
1888 to 1885, in the determination
of compensation accruing subse-
quent to June 80, 1885 but without
authorizing the payment of the
amount that would have been paid
during these years.

Income Taxes
The detailed estimates of revenues

The detailed estimates of revenues
and receipts for 1886, shown in
statement No. 1, indicate a gain of
$137 100000 III the collections from
income tax over those for 1885. This
gain is due to anticipated improve
ment in business and to the up
ward revision of rates in the rev.
enue act of 1884.
The miscellaneous internal rev.
enue taxes for 1886 are estimated to
increase some $143,O0O,0OO over the
collections for 1885. This increase
is predicted on the assumption that
the taxes terminating on June 80
and July 81, 1885, will be extended
by the Congress, and also that the
tax rates which would be reduced
on June 30, 1885, will be continued.
Otherwise there will be a reduc-
ton in the total estimate of mis-
celIaneouS internal revenue taxes of
1887 900, 900, thus bringing the total
estimate down to 81 ,308, 900 900, ex-
Guiding processing taxes. Customs
are estimated to yield 1923, 000,0 900
for 1886, representing a small in
crease of $11,0o0,000 over 1885. Mis-
cellaneous revenues and other re-
ceiptS are estimated to produce
$3.50, 100000, gain of about $23,-
100000 over 1885.
While I do not consider it ad-
visable at this time to propose any
new or additional taxes for the
fiscal year 1886, I do recommend
that the Congress take steps by suit

Better Methods

In order to promote more salts
factory methods of budgetary con-
troll in the Government, I propose
this year to inaugurate the policy of
having summation of the budget
prepared for publication immedi-
ately after the Congress has acted
on all financial matters. This sum-
nation will be ready on or before
July /, unless the Congress is still
in session.
1t will be presented along the lines
of the general budget summary and
supporting schedules, including
statements Nos. and 2, as shown in
this budget. 1t will exhibit the
revenue estimates, so revised by the
Treasury, as to reflect any changes
in the economic situation during the
preceding six or seven months and
also any reviSions made by the Con-
gress in the tax laws. 1t will pro-
vide a complete summary of all APP
propriationS and expenditure au-
thorizations made by the Congress
and related estimates of expendi-
lures. Lastly, it will indicate the
need tor Executive or AdminiStra-
tive measures in controlling the
execution of the budget during the
fiscal year 1886.
A substantial reduction in the
number of appropriation items
would facilitate the exercise of
budgetary control over expenditures
and at the same time make for de-
partmental economy. I, therefore,
recommend that the Congress estab-
lish a special joint committee to
make a detailed study of the appro-
priation items in each regular ap-
preparation bill with view to
greatly reducing the number of

Economic Situation

Because of its profound influence
on the Federal budget, the economic
situation may be summarized brief
~ at this point. Business was sub
Stantially more active during the
fiscal year 1884 than in either of the
two preceding fiscal years. AT the
opening of the year, in July, 1898,
producers were increasing their OPP
erations sharply rejecting. in part
larger orders placed in anticipation
of code regulations. There was a
temporary decline in output in the
autumn and early winter, in re-
Spouse to an REORGANIZATION of
inventories during this period, but
production again advanced during
the last half of the fiscal year.
Industrial output for the period
as whole, when measured by the
Federal Reserve Board index, was
Is per cent greater than in the ifs
cal year 1888 and only slightly be-
low the level of the fiscal year 1881.
The degree of recovery varied in
the different industries. Production
of nondurable goods, which had
declined only moderately during the
depression. approached within l per
cent of its 1923-25 average, while
output in the durable goods group,
where prices showed relatively small
declines since 1929, was 38 per cent
below its average in those years.
Construction activity financed by
private individuals continued to be
restricted in amount, although pub
lie. construction increased. This re-
suit was in no way surprising in
view of the enormous sums spent
on permanent structures. in many
cases in excess of actual require
mentS, during the period 1925-29.
The average volume of industrial
employment expanded in proportion
TO production, and the total number
of unemployed at the end of the
fiscal year 1884, although still very
large, decreased by about two mil
lions. as compared with June, 1893,
and four millions, as compared with
the worst point of the depression,
which fell in March, 1888 Reflect
ing higher wage rates and an ex-

them. consistent with proper bud
getary and accounting requirements.
1t is my belief that substantial
adherence to the general recon-
mendations and total figures pre-
sented in this budget will accom-
plish three major detectives: The
normal functions of the United
States Government can be carried
on with economy and a high stand
ard of efficiency; the broad obliga-
ton of the government to use all
proper efforts to prevent deStitu-
ton can be maintained under more
practical methods than we are US
ing at present, and the excellent
credit of the government will be
maintained for the common good.
1 believe that the Congress will
sustain these detectives.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-07

pansion in total hours worked, in
dustrial pay rolls averaged sharply
higher over the year.
At the end of the fiscal year 1884
the Bureau of Labor Statistics in
dex of wholesale commodity prices
stood at TAB per cent OF its 1926
average, as compared with 66.3 per
cent on June 30, 1893, and 500 per
cent early in March, 1888. The
sharpest rise in prices took place in
farm products which were affected
by anticipation of smaller crops
during the summer of 1884. The
rise in agricultural prices more than
offset the decrease in farm output,
and farmers cash income, including
Governmental rental and benefit
payments, was "a per cent higher
than in the fiscal year 1888. Cor
porate profits, aided by larger vol
ume as we'll as by inventory appre-
citation, also increased considerably.
The total expenditure require
ments for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1884, are estimated at ap-
proximately 1881 100000, as shown
in the general budget summary. OF
this amount, the sum of S3,321 ,000,-
900 is for regular expenditures, and
SIS ,26O,000,OO0 for recovery and re-
lief. The regular expenditures ere

rules pertaining to service connect
ed disabilities.

improvements

Several important changes have
been made in the form of the budget
document for 1886. The purpose of
these changes has been twofold:
Cd to improve the usefulness of the
document from the citizens stand
point, and CD to provide more ade-
quate treatment of the financial re-
quirements of certain governmental
units, such as the Post Office de-
partment and the District of Co.

Total Observation-Disclosures. 8164 9
From Feb. 1, 1882. to Nov. 80,
1934-nearly three years-provision
for recovery and relief through ap-
preparations and authorizations
reached a grand total of $14,412,-
100000. Of this total there remained
uneXpended on Nov 30, $6,247 $780,
600, a large part of which had al
ready been obligated though not yet
actually paid out by the Treasury.
The sum of approximately $900,0O0,-
600 from the unobligated portion
must, however, be made available
for transfer to emergency relief
needs during the remaining months
of the current fiscal year.
recommendation is therefore
made that the Congress provide for
the immediate transfer of such I'M
obligated portion for relief during
the transition period from direct
relief to work relief as outlined in
my annual message.
Appropriations for emergency re-
lief purposes will be completely ex-
hausted early in February. Hence
it is vitality necessary that unobli-
gated balances of moneys already
appropriated be made Immediately
available to care for the unemployed
during the remainder of the fiscal
year 1885 and the transition period.
Through such action no new ap-
preparation will be required to carry
our relief needs for the current
fiscal year:
The total receipts for the fiscal
year 1885 are estimated at $3,711,-
100000. After deducting from this
amount the processing taxes, esti-
mated at $3.50 900 900, there remains
1922, 100000 to be applied against
other expenditures of the Govern
ment.
The income tax for 1885 is esti-
mated to yield 1924 100000 more

-. 40 ~
A part of this expenditure of $4,-
283 100000 for recovery and relief is
repayable; indeed, substantial re-
payments have already been made
to the Government. Loans amount
ed to S732. 100000, and subscriptions
to capital stock and preferred
shares to 1926, 900 900, making a to-
tai of 1,55S,00O,OOO which may be
regarded as repayable expenditures
made during the fiscal year 1894.
The part regarded as nonrepayable
totals S2,725 100000. This sum has
been spent mainly for grants, aids,
public works projects and admins
trative expenses.
The total receipts of the Govern
ment for the fiscal year 1884
reached in the aggregate $3,115, $780,
0OO OF this amount $3.50, 100000
came from internal revenue; $313,-
100000 from customs; $152, SOC, 900
from miscellaneous revenues, and
S8,9O0,0O0 from receipts due to the
realization upon assets. Income tax
supplied $813,O00,000 of internal
revenues; miscellaneous taxes (e. G.,
estate, capital stock, liquor, tobacco,
stamps and excise taxes, 1862
100000, and processing taxes, $685.
100000 Since the processing taxes
are appropriate for the use of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration. their total should be sub
tracted from the aggregate receipts
shown above in order to arrive at
the general receipts of the Govern
ment.
The general receipts of $2,762,-
100000, excluding processing taxes,
approximately equalled the regular
expenditures for the year, fact
which should be duly recognized.
The deficit at the end of the fis-
cal year 1884, as shown in the gen.
eral budget summary. was $685.
100000 in round figures. After
deducting 1859 100000 for statutory
debt retirementS during 1884, the
resulting net deficit finance from
borrowings was $500 100000. The
gross increase in the national debt
amounted to S4,514, 100000, making
a total debt of S27,O53, OOO,0 900, as in
dicated in supporting schedule No.
g. This addition to the debt during
1884 included the financing of the
net deficit OF Sc 629 800 900 and an
increase of 1884, 100000 in the cash
balance of the general and special
accounts, as shown in supporting
schedule Nc. 4.

Fiscal Year, 1886

In the budget message of last
year I said, speaking Of the fiscal
year 1896, that we should plan to
have a definitely balanced budget
for the third year of recovery and
from that time on to seek a con-
tinued reduction of the national
debt.
DESPITE the substantial measure OF
recovery achieved since that state
ment was made, unemployment is
still large. The states and local
units now provide smaller proper
tionate share of relief than a year
ago and the Federal Government
therefore is called upon to continue
to aid in this necessary work.
For this reason it is evident that
we have not yet reached a point at
which a complete balance of the
budget can be obtained. I am,
however, submitting to the Congress
a budget for the fiscal year 1886
which balances except for expendi-
lures to give work to the unem-
ployed.
If this budget receives the ap-
proval of the Congress, the country
henceforth will have the assurance
that, with the single exception OF
this item, every current expenditure
of whatever nature will be fully
covered by our estimates of current
receipts. Such deficit as occurs will
be due solely to this cause, and it
may be expected to decline as
rapidly as private industry is able
to re-employ those who now are
without work.
A resume of the financial plan
which the general budget summary
shows for 1886, as compared with
1884 and 1885, is presented below.

Recovery Funds

OF the total expenditures for re-
covery and relief, $788,0OO,O0O are
for the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
and the refunding of
processing taxes, while $4,472,00 900
are devoted to other purposes in the
and relief program. Dur
ing the first five months of the cur
rent fiscal year the Government ex-
pended for recovery and relief ST.
712.oJ0000, or at the rate of about
$350,000,000 a month.
A summary of the aggregate
amounts expended for recovery and
relief from Feb. l, 1882, to Nov. 80,
1884, shows a total figure of ST.
164,900000. This expenditure has
been distributed approximately as
follows.

The total expenditures of the
Government for the fiscal year
ended June 90, 1884, as shown in
the general budget summary and
supporting schedules, amounted to
81. los. 100000 in round figures.
Of this amount, the sum of ST.

ton and maintenance of the regu-
lar departments and establishments
of the Government; S556, 100000 to
meet veterans pensions and bene-
fits; S757,0OOO0O for interest on the
national debt; $360,0O0,000 for
statutory debt retirements, and
s63 900 900 for tax refunds, making
in the aggregate S2,822, 100000. The
remainder of the total expenditures
for that year, amounting to S4,283,-
