curity Board and the establishment
of the old-age reserve account will
require an additional $405, 5,OO0, 900.
The board commenced operations late
in the fiscal year 1896 and its expen-
ditures, therefore, were not large dur
ing that year. The old-age reserve
account will require an initial con-
tribution in 1887 of $685., 1000, 900.
For interest on the public debt,
$825 5,000, 900 will be required. In view
of the general improvement In busi-
ness conditions, it is estimated that
there will be required net amount
of 81, 1885 ,000.000 for recovery and re-
lief. an amount materially less than
that for the fiscal year 1886.
Estimated Deficit $2,096, ,9s6, 800.
The estimated expenditures for the
other establishments are $448, 1886, 900
greater than the expenditures for
1896, due principally to the develop
ment of the regular annual public
works program and to increased ex-
penditures for national defense.
The estimated deficit for 1887 Is
81 ,O96 900, 800, which includes $780,
O00, 900 for statutory debt retirement
and $3.50, ,000, 900 for further payments
under the adjusted compensation pay
ment act.
Deducting the amount of the statu-
tory debt retirement leaves a net def
cit Of $1,516 1896, 800. This does not
mean that there will be an increase
in the public debt of this amount for
the reason that 1t is contemplated
during the year to reduce the working
balance of the general fund by ap-
proximately $1,10o,0 100000. The fol-
lowing statements show the contem-
plated changes during the year in
the working balance of the general
fund and in the gross public debt:

Baldwin.

Because of the high cost of relief
work in the drought areas. the Re-
settlement Administration during the
last two weeks has dropped plans for
developing 80 projects, c. Benham

The projects, none Of which were
more than blueprints. had been pro-
posed during the past three years.
Money spent on surveys and planning
for them to date amounts to only
about $50,000, Baldwin estimated.

WALL STREET STUDIES BUDGET.
Decrease in Borrowings Hinted in
Figures, Some Believe.

flgufeS, Some bei1eves
BY lte Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September RE
vised Federal budget estimates for the
current fiscal year, pointing to a rel
atively moderate further rise in the
national debt aroused conjectures in
financial quarters today whether they
limited decrease in Treasury bor-
rowing.
After the record peace time finan-
cial operations of the Government in
raising funds for payment Of the SOL
diers' bonus and relief needs in the
last half of the previous fiscal year
Wall Street has waited with keen in
terest the Treasury's plans for its
September quarterly financing.
With the new budget estimates
made late yesterday by President
Roosevelt figuring sharp reduction
in the Treasury's cash balances and
a net increase of $410, ,000, 900 in the
gross public debt for the fiscal year
ending next June, some bond experts
looked for an interruption this month
in the procession of big Federal is
sues to replenish Uncle Sans cash
box.
May fsefy on Reserves.
They reasoned. in the light OF the
latest budget figures. that the Treas
ury could fall back upon its heavy
cash reserves to carry it through at
least until the December financing
date comes around
After cashing around 81, ZOO, 900 900
in veterans bonus bonds the Treasury
reported its working" cash balance
on August 20 remained above 81, 400
900 900. bond men pointed out.
That sum, it was noted, is far
above what the Government ordi-
narily carries in cash reserves, al
though its working" balance the last
few years has been kept at high
figures.
With bonus cash demands dwindling
and revenue estimates raised some
what. together with substantial re-
payments by Federal credit agencies,
it appeared to some that the Govern
ment could cut its borrowing appreci-
ably by drawing upon big deposits
built up to its credit in banks from
proceeds of the huge offerings to the
money market last December, March
and June.
Borrowing Opinion Divided.
The Government bond market has
been anticipating announcement of
the Treasury September financing
plans next week and opinion has
been slightly divided whether it would
be restricted to refunding a matur-
ing issue Of s514.000,000 in notes or
would seek additional cash. There

our country. To relieve this serious
situation in the drought areas will
require the expenditure Of substantial
amounts from the emergency relief
appropriation, although the total
amount that will be needed for this
purpose cannot be determined at this
time.
Another survey of the unemploy-
fnent problem and the amount re-
quired for drought relief will be made
early in the coming calendar year,
and II additional appropriations for
these purposes are found necessary,
the amounts expended therefrom will,
Of course. increase the estimated ex-
penditures shown in this summation.
1t Is confidently expected that any
such requests for additional funds will
amount to less than $500, 900.
Evening star., 1936-09-02

In my message to Congress on
March IS, 1896. requesting an ap-
preparation Of $500, 100000 for re-
lief Of unemployment, I stated that
that request, together with those
previously submitted to the Congress
to provide for the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps and certain public works
would, If acted upon favorably by
Congress, give security during the next
fiscal year to those most in need, on
condition, however, that private en-
ployers hire many Of those now on re-
lief rolls. I further stated that should
industry comparatively achieve the
goal Of Unemployment, the appropri-
alton of $500, 900 900, together with
the unexpended balances of previous
appropriations, would sufiice to carry
the Federal works program through
the fiscal year 1887, and that only if
industry failed to reduce substantially
the number of those now out of work
would another appropriation and
further plans and policies be neces-
sary. The unemployed are continuing
to be absorbed in industry and I
believe that there will be q further
substantial Increase Of such employ
ment during the coming months.
Whether 1t win be suiicient to permit
such q reduction In work relief rolls
as will bring them within the amount
appropriated by Congress Is q matter
that cannot be determined for several
months. ,

curity act which will defer to the fiscal
year 1898 the collection of a portion
Of these taxes. The losses from these
causes amount to s668, 600, 900, which
ere slightly more than offset by the
following estimated increases in
revenue: $410, ,000, 900 Gncluding $82,-
000, 900 from the windfall taxes) re-
sulting from the revenue act of 1896;
$33 900 900 from delayed collections of
taxes on carriers and their employees,
and $237,000,000 constituting an up
ward revision of revenue estimates due
chiefly to improvement in business
conditions.
The expenditure requirements for
the fiscal year 1897 are now estimated
at $7.762, 1885 800, which includes $780,
o00, 900 to complete the payments of
adjusted conpensation to veterans and
$3.50, ,000, 900 for statutory debt re-
tirement.
Some DOncipal Items Cited.
Some Of the principal items in
eluded in lie expenditure require
ments are a follows: The Agricultural
Adjustment administration will require
S585, ,o00, 900 nd the Civilian Conser-
vation Corpl $500, 100000. The re-
quirements q the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration will be
greater for 1887 than for 1886, due
to the interruption Of that program
in the last year by the Supreme Court
deciAon and the consequent post
ponenaent Of expenditures. The ex-
penditures for the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps for 1887 will be les than
those tor 1885, due to the reduction
made In the number OF .enrollees, as
compared with the number for 1885.

shifting the burden of government
from their shoulders to those OF the
poor, whose rights they have so long
trampled under foot. The interests
behind the eminent gentlemen at
Cleveland have long escaped their
Just share of the tax burden.
''Let me say the way to achieve the
moral, intellectual and spiritual OBJ
jectives of our people 1t simply to re-
elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. l am
pleading with my countrymen to for
get partisanship and come to the sup
port of the man who more than any
other in recent years has stood for
the welfare of the common people.
II want you to remember that
these eminent gentlemen will attempt
to buy the electorate at the coming
presidential election. The only Dues
ton they will ask Is how can their
subscriptions be used for bringing
about Roosevelt's defeat. They will
be very careful; they will not appear
in the open They will wrap them
selves in the American flag, cry out
for liberty of contract, denounce the
government for being in business
and do all they can to maintain the
strong hold they maintained under
Hoover, upon which Roosevelt has
gradually but surely loosened their
grip.
1--WE should consider not only the
Cleveland platform but the men who
made it. We should not forget that
the leaders of these eminent gentle
men, most of the members of the
platform committee, belong to the re-
dictionary element of the party. Some
of them have had experience for
many years in Congress and the rae
ord shows they have bent all their
