President Roosevelt asked today for
BOT more detectives. an anti-crime
college for district attorneys and more
prison guards to tighten the Nations
protection against the lawless.
His 1887 budget recommendation
to Congress proposed strengthening
four major detective agencies with IL
new "G-men," IS new post office IN
spectors, so new secret service NTH
and so new Treasury special agents.
The more than 600 Omen" who
would be in the field under the plan

They would pursue violators In

The 300 "T-men" of the Internal
Revenue Bureau would seek evidence

and as they we're seeking to do with
Dutch Schultz" when he was slain.
Most of the new secret service men
would chase counterfeiters. The Sc
cret service staff for protecting the
President would not be enlarged APP
preciably.
Would Train Prosecutors.
A crime prevention bureau would
be set up in the Justice Department
with a $4,000 appropriation. Here.
under Justin Miller, the men who
prosecute criminals violating the Fed
eral laws would be given training i'll
their special court work. grand jury
procedure and the work of the Federal
investigators, just as "G-men" are
trained.
The job of keeping criminals after
they're caught would be made more
attractive by increased pay for prison
guards and workers. Budget provision
also is made for training guards i'll
defensive tactics and the use Of
firearms.
A 100000 extension of prison facil-
tiles on McNeils Island, Wash, led

Repeal amendment to agricultural
adjustment act.-During the first ses-
sion of the Seventy-fourth Congress
the agricultural adjustment act was
amended so as to appropriate sum
equal to 80 per cent of customs re-
ceipts to the Secretary of Agriculture
to encourage expectation and domestic
consumption of agricultural commodi-
ties. No estimate Of expenditure for
account of this legislation Is included
herein; and repeal of the amendment
is recommended for the following
reasons:
BY appropriating directly instead OF
authorizing an appropriation the
amendment denies to the President
the opportunity to consider the need
and include appropriate estimates in
the budget; and it denies to the Con-
gress the opportunity to review such
estimates in their relation to the
whole program of the Government.
The amendment violates the prin-
ciples of the permanent appropriation
repeal act of 1884, and of the budget
and accounting act Of June 10, 1921.
It is in conflict with sound admins
tration, in that it provides in advance
for large annual expenditures without
any attempt to coordinate income
and expense. The amendment was
passed in the last days of the session
as a result of conference agreement
and without the debate and consid-
Grafton by the Congress which the
import of the measure clearly justifies.

Gross Fiscal Deficit

Deficit and public debt.-The revised
estimates as set out herein show q
gross deficit for the current fiscal
year of approximately s3,234, 900 900,
instead Of the original budget fore
cast of $4,529, ,000. 900. After deduct
ing the amount of statutory debt re-
tirement the net deficit will be, IN
round figures, $685., 100000. The
gross public debt as at June 80, 1886,
should not be greater than $3l ,000,-
100000. This estimate assumes that
the working balance in the Treasury
on June 80, 1896, will be approxi-
mately the same as 1t was on June 80,
1885, namely Sl,001, ,142,95l. Obvi-
ously. if the working balance is less.
the gross debt will be less; and If 1t is
greater. the gross debt will be greater.

regular activities for 1897 includes
activities under the agricultural ad-
justment act and the Civilian Con-
servation Corps emergency conserva-
ton work.. heretofore classed as

by sac, 900 900; the amount actually
received under this item was $179,-

penditures was $7,375, ,825, ,166, against
