While there is considerable sup
port for some form Of percentage cut,
there also is a growing belief that
the Appropriation Committees of
Congress should resurvey the supply
bills and decide where savings can be
made, instead Of ordering a blanket
reduction in all except fixed charges"
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, who stated a week ago that
he had never found the horizontal
percentage method of cutting salts
factory, either in appropriation or
tariff matters, added yesterday that
such cutting might injure desirable
propositions. He also declared such
reductions usually are not in effect
long before they are modified.
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah,
urged keeping expenses within cur
rent revenues. He indicated that
while he is not enthusiastic over
either the impounding or horizontal
cutting method, he thought the latter
method preferable.
Opposition to the proposals Of Sem
ator Byrnes and Representative Can
non, Democrat, of Missouri, to cut de-
partmental appropriations was ex-
pressed yesterday by E. Claude Bab-
cock, president of the United Civil
Service Employees.
Babcock said pay cuts, by use Of
furloughs, are almost inevitable under
the Byrnes plan, and probable under
the Cannon proposal, which calls for
is per cent impoundment Of depart

Amounts Hard to Figure.

OF interest 1t collects on good loans
and the rate 1t pays on outstanding

Amounts Hard to Figure.
In discussing the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, Senator Byrd argues
that if it stops lending there will
naturally be some reduction in oper-
ating expenses, even If it is kept
alive to make the collections, but it Is
impossible to figure the amount. The
budget for 1888 has been drawn up on
the assumption that lending activity
Is to continue on a substantial scale.
So it is difficult TO figure savings that
might be effected by transfer of COL
lection activities to other agencies If
the corporation continues lending &C.
tivities.
The budget submitted to Congress
for 1888 includes $6,334, ,9S2 for salaries,
and s3,l65,0l8 for other operating ex-
penses--a total of s9,5OO,OOO, COM
pared with $ll, 1903 estimated for
the fiscal year 1887 and $l2,698,l57
actually expended for the fiscal year
1896.
The figures for 1888 include 1,8OO,-
600 for custodian services performed
by Federal Reserve Banks, which would
not be affected by Senator Byrd's pro-
posed change. Other items, aside from
salary, would not be changed greatly,
though there would be some saving in
costs of communication between the
corporation and other agencies and IN
interagency accounting.
Collections Cost 100000.
The cost to the Federal Reserve
Banks OF making collections which
would be assigned to them under the
Byrd reorganization recommendation
in addition to the $1,800,000 allowed
for custodian service, is roughly esti-
mated at a million dollars. Added
costs to other agencies would be
negligible.
Senator Byrd is advised by the
Brookings Institution experts that a
saving of about S5,00OOOO per annum
would thus be made from the liquida-
ton of the R. F. C. and disposal of
its assets.
Senator Byrd has not finally de-
cided whether to insist on his recon-
mendation for separating the R. F. C. s
collection work from its lending work
until lending drops to lower level
except for the transfer of the pre-
ferred stock to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.
His attention has been called to the
fact that on June 80, 1886, the R. F. C.
reported "a persons in the bank rela-
tions section of the Examining Divi-
sion with average salaries of $4,000
each. This is in the Washington
office alone and does not include sec
retarial help, nor the legal and ac-
counting services performed by the
division
The administration of the preferred
stock by the F. D. I. c. would involve
practically no added expense to that
organization except for accounting,
since it already has all the information
1t needs, except for few uninsured
banks that have sold preferred stock

SUGGESTS BUYING MARKET
CONCESSION
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
viii twelve thousand Negroes of
the Twin Cities allow a large pub
lie market to be constructed with
out attempting to get concessions ?
The excavation for such a market
is in rapid progress, while Negroes
still run from pillar to post, either
looking for a job or begging for
relief. This is not a business en-
terprise confined only to North
Side Negroes, but to all the Ne
groes Of the state of Minnesota.
This investment would provide
jobs with dignity. If you want
your sons and daughters to have
employment, you must invest your
dollars in business instead of the
bank.
Twelve thousand Negroes at fifty
cents each can get a concession in
the public market.
