questions however reasonable" 1t Is
only fair--perhaps too fair-to as
sumo an additional expenditure of
sl,loc' 100000 for relief and Works
Progress Administration.
II Is to be noted that in the emer.
gency budget. net r. F. c.. repay.
ments and other repayments amount
to $251 ,l39,100 and are credited
against emergency and relief ex-
penditures.
Thus the emergency and relief
budget totals $2,5l7 ,963,732.
When the regular expenditures are
added TO The emergency budget, the
total is somewhat as follows:
Regular GA. A. A. payments only in
amount S25O,000.000). s5,2S0, ,434, ,73S;
emergency. s2,2o2, 2,824,632; total, ST.

If to this there be added the bonus
of $4,000, 100000 no matter how paid,
and A. A. A. refunds, and expenditures
for any purpose not estimated, then
the expenditures will be even greater.
RECAPTTULATION-
In concise form, the record dis
closes:
IAN administration committed in
| 1882 and 1888 to "a complete and
honest balance of the Federal budget
and reduction Of expenditures as the
greatest possible present contribution
to recovery"
2.-During the last of the four years
Of responsibility regular expenditures
greater than during any preceding
peace-time year.
3.-Total expenditures for the last
year of office approximately two and
quarter billion dollars greater than
in 1888.
4-Liquidation of assets to pay cur
rent expenditures.
5.-An accumulated four-year deficit
of more than thirteen billion dollars.
6.-For the last Of the four years Of

mately two billion four hundred mil

Of course, he says apologetically,
it is small isle, which facilitates de-
lection, but he adds significantly:
when a man commits crime in
England, he knows he'll be adequately
dealt with. There is no getting out
of it."
To the contrary-although he Is
anything but critical Inspector
Bishop sees a bit of irony in what he
way" of dealing with criminals in
this country by letting them stew in
their own juice for year or So and
then Furnishing.
And he doesn't feel. incidentally.
that the current agitation in Great
Britain for abolishing capital punish
ment is going to make any headway.
when men show that they don't
deserve to live, we'll and he
shrugs his shoulders.
The cooperation of the public
Bishop considers one of the most i'm
portant reasons why Scotland Yard
is so eminently successful in its war
on criminals. And as for the service
itself persistence is the keynote of its
work The men have a background
of experience, and they operate in
fields for which they are best adapted.
But England, as he says, has no
serious crime" that is, by organized
groups.
"Had a Gang Once"
1--WE did have a race course gang
(swindlers) few years ago." he re-
calls. but we've squared them all up"
The squared" obviously carries dis
tinctly opposite meaning to what the
term conveys in this country.
The Drake case rather amuses the
inspector.
For years Oscar Hartzel, one-time
Iowa farmer, operating from London,
and with the reputed assistance of
confederates in this country, has been
obtaining hundreds Of thousands of
dollars from gullible victims in the
Midwest who thought they were to
share in mythical estate left by Sir
Francis Drake.
Hartzell, already serving 10 years in
Leavenworth, is being tried on addi-
tionaa charges with the alleged con-
federateS now.
With all due respect to your good
farmers, that couldn't have been done
in England" is Bishops chuckling
comment on the scheme.
Bishop and Challen planned to call
at the Department of Justice in the
course of their visit here.

dollars. We should plan to have a
definitely balanced budget for the
third year Of recovery U936) and
from that time on seek continuing
reduction of the national debt"
But the actual deficit for 1885 was
$3,575 1857 1858, while the revised budget
for 1896, instead of being in balance
shows estimated expenditures to be In
excess of revenues by S3,234, ,507 1892.
No Mention Made Later.
On January 3, 1885, in the Execu-
tives annual budget message. no men
ton was made Of an equilibrium be-
tween expenditures and receipts.
On January 6, 1896, in the annual
budget message and accompanying
budget schedules for 1887. there is
given only the hope that at some
time in the future deficits will be
eliminated.
This is the whole setting necessary
for an understanding of the budget
for 1887. Moths is not quite the
whole setting.
When, in the late Spring of 1888, a
great spending program was adopted
the expenditures were divided into two
categories: First, those for the opera
ton of the regular. permanent de-
partments and agencies of Govern
ment; second, those for relief and for
the emergency. To be sure the books
showed but one deficit, but spokesmen
have made much Of the distinction,
as though a government could conceal
its financial operations by legerdemaln
better than could the insult utilities.
This is the environment and the
inheritance of the budget for 1887.
THE BUDGET
Among the regular expenditures the
budget carried estimates of benefit
rayments to farmers under the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
act. At the very time that the budget
was being read to the Congress the
Supreme Court was declaring the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton act to be unconstitutional.
As consequence. revenues to be
derived from processing taxes are no
longer available, while newspaper ac-
counts indicate that expenditures on
account of contracts already made and
refunds (if any of taxes illegally COL
lected are to continue.
Nor is this quite all. The Civilian
Conservation Corps. heretofore during
the regime of the New Dealers carried
in the so-called emergency and relief
budget. has been transferred to the
regular budget. Moreover, public
works expenditures. in part, though
perhaps not in sufficient amount, have
been shifted into the regular depart
mental budget from the emergency
budget. And. finally, expenditures on
account of the social security act, the
bituminous (Guffey) coal act. the rail-
road retirement pension act. have be-
come permanent fixtures of the regular
departmental expenditures.
The expenditures of the regular de-
partments totals IS .649.781. .738
When these are adjusted to the
! Supreme Court decision on the agricul.
tural adjustment administration act
they become s5.280434.738

BY J. A. FOX.
r INSPECTOR DETECTIVE AR
THUR BISHOP of Scotland
Yard-who never could have been
L overlooked by Oppenheim-is
sightseeing in the Capital with postal
inspectors and thinks the hospitality
is amazing"
In fact. if it were not for the
warmth of his reception, he'd be most
impressed by the busting atmosphere
of the country-and that reminds him
of story.
It seems that the inspector, in
Bombay, was watching some tortoises.
Watching tortoises is apparently a
great outdoor sport in one of the
Bombay spots. Anyway, a neighbor
who also was watching the tortoises,
turned to Bishop and said:
do you see those tortoises?"
The inspector could see them.
do you believe in tranSmigration?"
Bishop doesn't believe in trans
migration.
well, believe in transmigration,
and I'll bet that in another life, those
tortoises were some of these hurrying
Americans!" There was an adjective
or so designed to emphasize the
"hurrying" part of the story, but any,
way, Bishop thinks the people in the
country move about.
TestifieS in Drake Case.
The dapper inspector, perhaps in
his middle 40s and rated as one OF
the best men in the famed British
crime detection agency, arrived here
yesterday in company with Charles
Challen, British legal expert. with
whom he was brought across the At
lantic- to testify for the Government
in the notorious Drake estate" swim
die case, now on trial in Chicago.
They have just completed their ap-
pearance on the stand and came on
to Washington with Posal Inspector
S. Walter johnson. inspector In
charge at Chicago.
Bishop and Challen visited the
Post ONCE Department yesterday
and spent some time with Chief In
spector Kildroy P. Aldrich and AS
sistant Chief Joseph A. Garland.
The inspector smilingly side-stepped
all questions about the Iindbergh
case, explaining he did not feel at
liberty to comment, but he was en-
tirely willing to speak word about
speedy British justice. which he whole
heartedly believes is responsible in
great part for the relative absence of
crime there.

mateQ) ------------ 4,2lO
The estimated cost of operating the
regular departments of Government
under the 1897 budget, as submitted
and adjusted to the Supreme Court
A. A. A. decision, is $5,280. .434. 1888, or
s504, 587 more than the estimate
for 1886; S2458, 700,l26 more than
the actual for 1884 and s1,7S6. $50, PIG
more than the actual for 1927.
And according to the previous ta-
bles. under the most favorable con-
struction. the estimated cost of op-
Grating the regular establishments for
1887, without the new additions, is
1868 100000 more than the estimate
for 1886, s1,388 100000 more than for
1894 and s764000,000 more than for
1927.
Relief Expenditures.
In the extraordinary or relief and
emergency category Of expenditures,
the 1887 budget carries estimates of
expenditures in the amount of Sl,I03.-
100000. This item represents ex-
penditures from unexpended balances
OF previous emergency appropriations. &"
Supporting schedule 2B of the budget
shows the unexpended balances as of
October 81. 1885, to be $3.50 ,676. 708,
and the unallocated funds to be only
S23,852,l3l. What has become of
and what is to be done with the re-
manning s6,516,000, 900?
The sum of 1918 100000 of the
s1,l03, 600, 900 is all absorbed in the
following general categories: Public
works, aids to home owners. miscel-
laneous. Two hunderd and twenty
five million dollars is carried simply
as unallocated funds, available Octo-
Der 81, 1885, and thereafter.
In the category of relief and emer-
genG, no expenditure is estimated
either for relief of the unemployed
or for Works Progress Administration
The month of December Treasury
daily statement shows an expenditure
of $4,000 900 for works progress dur
ing that single month. This is at the
rate Of approximately s1.440 900 900 a
year. The estimate for 1886 shows
estimated expenditures for this pur-
pose of 1000.0OO,0OO. But the pro-
gram was not fully operative until De-
cember, or until of the u months
of the fiscal year 1896. had elapsed
s1,500000000 is, therefore, not an
exaggerated estimate of the total an
nual cost. Assuming a reduction in
unemployment of 25 per cent during
the fiscal year 1887 and a correspond
ing reduction of expenditures, an ad-
ditional sl,l00Oo000 is required to
be appropriated for and expended dur
ing 1887. Given the standards of
compensation and the present method
of administering relief monies. this
figure represents the minimum.
