U. S. Expenditures
Far Above Budget

The United States Treasury
will end its fiscal year tomorrow
fairly close to estimates on rev.
enue but billions off on projected
expenditures and the public debt,
due to passage of the soldier bonus
and invalidation of AAA process
ing taxes. A comparison Of the
Treasury'S financial condition as
Of yesterday with budget estimates
submitted to Congress by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt last January re-
vealed that:
Revenue was over-eStimated
$344,212,993.
Expenditures were underesti-
mated $1,647 ,108,549.
The public debt total was un-
derestimated $3,176,454,866
Last January the President es-
timated Government receipts for
the fiscal year at $4,410,703,946.
The Treasury balance sheet Of
June "a with five business days re-
manning in the fiscal year, gave
total receipts for the fiscal year
as $4,066, 490,953.
The President estimated income
tax payments during the fiscal
year would total 81, 34,112,000, as
against collections on June "a of
$1,421, 135, 499. The President esti-
mated miscellaneous internal rev.
enue collections at $1,873, 091 900,
as against 1898, 179,115; customs
receipts at 1888, 191 900. as against
1881, 103,155.
On one item of receipts the eSti-
mates were far wrong. This was
on processing taxes. The estimate
was $529, 042,000. The amount
collected to date is only $67,.
316,879, due to invalidation of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Against this stood a wide dis
crepancy between estimates of ex-
penditures and the amount &C
tually expended.

$4,000 MILLION
IS EXPENDED
BY j. s.:
International News Service

The Roosevelt Administration
has spent $4,000 million dollars
since March 4, 1888, bringing the
total liabilities of the Government
to 10000 millions of dollars, Rep
resentative John w. Taber of New
York, ranking Republican on the
House appropriations committee,
charged today.
In the annual analysis of Con-
gressional appropriations, Taber
forecast huge future deficits uh
less spending is curtailed.
He charged the Administration,
despite passage of the 1,425 mil
lion dollar WPA fund, failed to
ask Congress for sufficient funds
to keep UP relief expenditures at
the present rate for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1887.
The Treasury deficit for the
present fiscal year is 5000 mil
lions, he said, and there will be
another 5000 million deficit a
year hence, under the present rate
Of expenditures. He declared:
"Since March 4, 1888, there
has been spent by the Roosevelt
administration the unprece-
denied sum of approximately
$4,000 million dollars.
at Is manifest that the only
safety for the people is the re-
tirement of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStratiOn."
Taber placed appropriations Of
the Seventy-fourth Congress at
$40, 459,756,227. The session just
closed appropriated $10,129,710,-
sci, he said, adding:
"If we were to continue
fraudulent relief apprOpria-
tiOnS on the same basis that
they have been carried on un-
der the Roosevelt adminiStra-
ton after January l next, for
the rest of the fiscal year 1887,
a deficiency bill of $500 mil
lions for that purpose would be
in order by January l, because
the Treasury will be stripped
by that time to meet the exOr-
bitant election demands Of
General Farley"
Taber included statement
showing that the number of
Government employees jumped
from 560,456 in 1880 to 810,418
in 1886.

MARKETS RECOVER;
PUBLIC BUYING seen
Stocks Turn Over in Big Volume,
Recording Gains-Commodities
Show Improvement.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 8.-Further
discoveries marked early dealings in
today's financial markets.
Brokers said the markets apparently
had shaken off the nervousness re-
sulting from the Supreme Courts in
valuation Of the A. A. A., and that
hopes for continued business and in
dustrial improvement had brought an
expansion of public buying.
Stocks were turned over in an ex-
ceptionally large volume for gains
ranging from a few cents to 81 or
more a share. During the first half
hour the ticker tape was several min
utes behind floor transactions. Numer-
GUS new highs for the past several
years were recorded. The pace slowed
later.
Bonds were steady to firm and also
quite active. Wheat and other grains
were relatively narrow, but cotton
came back for advances. Other COM
modities also improved
Utilities. rails and specialties were
again the fayorites of the share list.
The so-called farm stocks. including

face value of his certificate when it
was returned to him.
War Department officials explained
to Representative Granfield that in
the haste of preparation, War Depart
ment clerks had erred in registering
Reservists from the date of their
entrance into the Reserves instead of
from the date of call to Regular Army
service. Consequently, when the
length of a veterans service was
computed under the adjusted service
compensation act he was credited
with time to which he was not en-
titled. 1t Is this error that is now
being rectified. it was pointed out.
The work of altering the veterans
adjuSted-pay certificates has been
going forward quietly in the War De-
partment for several months, with few
complaints voiced by the ex-service
men affected.
How much each veteran stands to
lose by the slash in his prospective
compensation could not be determined.
but reductions as much as 5000 have
been reported. The War Department
did say that in many cases veterans
were receiving credit for two or three
months service when they were ac-

A. A. A. Employees
Wait for Solution
Reuiuing Their Pay

EMPLOYEES Of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration-and lesser
number from the Treasury-today
looked apprehensively toward the
White House and Capitol for the de-
cision that means jobs or idleness.
At the A. A. A.. where the force OF
nearly $500 is being kept on duty
status despite the Supreme Court de-
cision that ripped up the farm aid
structure, it was said definitely that
it was believed they could be paid for
holding on. although this question Is
before the Treasury. At the latter
department. which has about $500
employees on A. A. A. work. it was felt
also that the pay of these latter
would be forthcoming.
The principal question in the minds
of officials was whether Congress will
set out on a new agricultural pro-
gram. II so, employees will be needed
to carry on. Even though the A. A.
A. is disbanded. however. there still
would be a huge volume of Equida-
ton work and this would furnish en-
ployment, but no one was in position
to say how much.
At the same time there also was
cheering note in the announced in
tention of the President to press for
payment of contracts already made.
for this also would mean work.
OF the A. A. A. force around $500
are in Washington, more than 4,l00
of whom are in the division of finance,
which takes in the check-writing and
auditing work. The Treasury has a
force of some 1000 in the field and
500 here, concerned with the collec-
ton of processing taxes and incidental
work
In both branches it is felt for the
present the stats should be held in
tact until it is known just what is
to be done, but officials are anxious
to know the exact pay status of the
personnel.
AS was made known yesterday at
the Treasury. the legal staff has this
and other matters under considera-
tion, and it was said today that, once
uclllIiIc SOuISc 10 ucCIucu upOli, Illdt
undoubtedly Controller General Nc
Carl would be called in. There was
some thought that Congress might
have to appropriate directly for those
employees who are being continued in
service, despite the fact their func-
tions have been suspended.
The unemployment problem facing
the A. A. A. workers will be discussed
Sunday evening at a meeting of New
Deal Union Lodges at 2l01 P street.
1t is scheduled to start at O'Clock.
Consideration will be given to methods
of absorbing these and additional
workers who may lose out elsewhere
in other Government agencies.
