one-half years collections in the
fiscal year 1887. Miscellaneous inter-
nal revenue taxes will be S205, 900, 900
greater, representing chiefly an in
crease in collections from estate taxes
and alcoholic beverage taxes, and from
new taxes levied under the sugar act
of 1887. During the past fiscal year,
due to litigation, practically no COL
lections were made under the law levy
ing taxes on carriers and their en-
ployes, but in 1888 it is expected that
s158,000,0O0 will be collected from
this source. Social security taxes,
which will be collected for full year
in 1888, as compared to only one-half
year in 1887, will result in 1888 3,000,0 900
Of additional revenue. Customs reve-
nues are expected to show an increase
of about $8,000,O00 in 1888 over 1887,
while miscellaneous receipts remain
at about the same figure.
EXPENDITURES.
The estimated expenditures for 1888,
excluding debt retirement. will be
1856 900, 900 less than the actual ex-
penditures for 1887.
General-The estimated general ex-
penditures are s156,000,000 greater
than the actual expenditures for 1887.
This is due largely to increased ex-
penditures of s63 100000 for high
ways, $4O,000,oOO for the Maritime
Commission, s69,O00,0Oo for national
defense, $67,OOO,OO0 under the social

ton Finance Corporation, 1t Is i'm
probable that the Public Works Ad-
ministration will be called upon to
meet all Of the commitments now out
standing against it, and to the extent
that it is not necessary to meet such
commitments the budget outlook will
be improved. I have, therefore, de-
termined to adopt q similar policy
with respect to the Public Works Ad-
ministration, namely, that any COM
mitments now standing on the books
OF said administration which, for one
reason or another, are Cancelled shall
be completely wiped OF the boo..s and
no further commitments be made or
substituted therefor, and that no pres
ent commitment-either loan or grant
on any project already approved
shall be increased.

Corp, the funds of the Public Works
Administration are carried upon the
books Of the Government as appro-
| priation accounts, and to make certain
| that this program is carried out, am
directing that the balances now car
ried upon the Treasury's books which
may not be required to take care of

gram already approved, and after re-
serving 100000 for administrative
expenses. shall be impounded and re-
turned to the Treasury. The amount
thus to be written of the books will
exceed 500, 100000.

POSTAL REVENUES
SET NEW RECORD
Total for Year Ended June
80 Was S726, 900, 900,
Farley Reports.

Postal revenues for the fiscal year
ended last June 80 were the largest
In history, totaling approximately
$726. .o00. 900, Postmaster General Far
ley today told the annual convention OF
the National Association Of PoStmas-
ters In San Francisco. AS result, he
added, the department again ended
the year with a surplus-exclusive of
subsidy and franked mail charges.
The speech was released from Far
ley's Office, and the vein in which it
Was couched. together with the fact
that II summarized the operations of
the department since March. 1888,
when he took over, aroused speculation
as tn whether it might be prelimi-
nary u Farley's rumored resignation.
Receipts Rise $4,000 900.
While the estimated receipts are
about Se0,O00,000 over the figure for
the fiscal year 1886. the Postmaster
General reiterated his belief that the
Scent rate for first-class mail, adopted
as an emergency measure in 1882,
must be continued.
Apparently having in mind recur
rent efforts in Congress to bring the
rate back to cents, Farley said:
ITO some, it may seem that if the
management of the Post Office De-
partment can show a net surplus of
several million dollars, it is time to
consider reduction in the first-claSs
rate for out-of-town mail. However,
/ would advise against this action.
We have done much to improve the
service. We have strengthened and
made more effective its facilities, but
in view of the drastic changes that are
being made in transportation through
out the Nation, and the need for
greater speed in the handling of mails
all along the line, the department could
properly spend many more millions
in service improvements. and will
probably be faced with the necessity
of making such expenditures in the
near future. We have done much to
improve the condition of the employees
and to make the Post Office a better
place in which to earn a livelihood;
but We have not yet done everything
for our employees that We can and
should do for them when the funds
are available from the revenues.
Scent Rate Reasonable.
y am of the opinion that the
Scent rate on first-class matter for
out t-of town delivery is reasonable.
There is no other service in America
that offers the unlimited possibilities
of communication that are offered by
the letter service in the Post Office
Most citizens appreciate that fact.
Careful observation and full consid-
Grafton of all phases of the situation
lead me to the definite conclusion
that the 3-cent letter rate should
stand until such time as we have
accomplished all service Improvements
that are necessary. and until such time
as we have established the postal serv-
ice as the ideal employer of labor in
America"

BUDGET SHOWS WAY
TO CUT P.W. A., R. F. C.

President Roosevelt's revised budget
showed today how he intends to clip
the wings of two powerful emergency
agencies-the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and the Public Works Admin
istration.
For both, the President called halt
on commitments to make further loans
or expenditures. saying this would
erase the possibility of charges against
future budgets.
In addition. Mr.. Roosevelt said, any
outstanding commitments which the
agencies are not called on to meet
must be written off the books and not
used to make other commitments.
He said P. w. A. balances now car
ried on Treasury account books other
than those necessary for previously
approved projects and administrative
expenses will be taken away from the
agency and returned to the Treasury
He estimated more than 500, 0,000,0 900
would be written OF the books.
OF the r. F. C. commitments, he
reported, s149,0O0.000 were "in the
nature of conditional agreements, q
large part Of which ultimately will be
Cancelled"

Administration.
Reconstruction Finance Corp-On
September 80, 1887, the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corp. had on its books
undisbursed commitments in the ag-
gregate sum of $405 900, 900, exclusive
or undisbursed statutory ALLEGATIONS to
Federal agencies and agreements to
purchase securities from the Public
Works Administration. These undis-
bursed commitments, however, include
$149, 900, 900 in the nature Of condi-
tional agreements, large part OF
which ultimately will be Cancelled.
Moreover, it is probable that tie Re-
construction Finance Corp. will not be
called upon to meet all OF its other
commitments. The details Of these
commitments are shown in the ap-
pendix as exhibit A.
While the cancellation of such
commitments would not Of itself re-
turn money to the public Treasury,
the ultimate effect q such action
would relieve the Treasury Of sub
stantial potential liability, and to this
extent the budget outlook would be
improved. AS q means OF reducing
this liability, and of avoiding the sub
stitution of other liabilities therefor,
I have determined that no further
commitments should be made by the
Reconstruction Finance Corp, other
than for administrative expenses, and
that the money represented by COM
witt hnnkc Uhirh
for one reason or another may later
be Cancelled, should not be used for
expenditure on other commitments,
but be completely cleared from the
books, thus inSuring the elimination of
such potential charges against future
budgets.
have also determined that the LA
bilities carried upon the books of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. IN the
nature of undisbursed allocations to
Federal agencies should not be used
except to meet unavoidable require
ments Of existing law.

Public Works Administrations
September 80, 1887, the Public Works
Administratio had on its books un-
disbursed commitments for loans and
grants in the aggregate sum of $3.50,
900 900, of which S205 100000 repre-
sents loan commitments and $685.
600, 900 represents grant commitments.
These commitments are listed in de-
tail in exhibits. B and C accompany
ing this summation. They will be
financed from money now standing to
the credit of the Public Works Ad-
ministration on the books of the Treas
ury, plus The proceeds to be received
from the sale to the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. of securities now held
or to be acquired by that administra-
ton. Although the Public Works Ad-
ministration finances q large part Of
its operations through the sale Of its
security holdings to the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp, the burden of its
expenditures must be carried by the
Federal Treasury until the securities
purchased by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. are actually sold on the
market.

The text of President Roosevelt's
statement "in summation Of the 1888
budget:
The attached summation presents
revised estimates of receipts and ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1888, re-
f1ecting the changes which have oc-
Cured in the budget subsequent to the
revision of estimates contained in my
message of April 20, 1887. In the lat
ter message I pointed out that the
decline in tax receipts was almost
entirely responsible for the then esti-
mated deficit of $418,0O0,000 for the
fisacal year 1888. 1t was indicated
that this estimate would necessarily
be subject to change dependent on
any action taken by Congress which
might increase expenditures.
The following changes have oc-
Cured which could not be predicted
at the time of the April estimates.
The enactment by Congress of the
new railroad retirement act, which
increased the number of annuitantS
by adding certain groups of employees,
retired under railroad pension sys-
TENS, who were not included under
the provisions of the former retire
ment act, and which added reserve
feature necessitating the annual in
vestment of funds to establish a re-
serve against future payments, $1l3,-
600 900.

reimburse the land banks and the Fed
eral Farm Mortgage Corp. for the loss
suffered through these reductions, $40,-
0,000.
The enactment by Congress of leg
islation authorizing refund OF the
taxes collected under title 9 of the So
cial security act to those State enact
ing, subsequent to the collection of
such taxes, unemployment compensa-
ton programs, S36000,000.
The legislative extension of the Pub
lie Works Administration for two
years, and increase in the amount OF
funds made available for grants and
administrative expenses, S25, 100000.
The situation with respect to the
impending surplus cotton crop, which
will make it necessary for the Com
modify Credit Corp. to make cotton
loans, s13O,000,000.
The present revision of the Treasury
of the revenue estimates showing a
reduction of s256,000,000 from the es-
Inmates Of April 20.
Estimate of Net
Deficit Is $685., 200, 900.
These changes have had the effect
of increasing the deficit Of $4l8,000, 900
of last April by s6oo,ooO,Ooo, but there
will be savings under other items OF
expenditure amounting to 1928 900, 900
which will result in a net deficit of
$685., ,OOO,O 900.
The receipts for the fiscal year 1888
are now estimated at $3.50, 900, 900.
and the expenditures, excluding $780,
100000 for debt retirement. at $7,345,-
100000.
The present estimated receipts rep
resent decrease of $643, 100000 under
the estimates contained in the 1888
budget, and a decrease of $256, 1000, 900
below the revised estimates Of April 20.
This decrease is more than accounted
for by the reduction in the estimate OF
income and social security taxes.
The expenditure requirements. ex-
Guiding debt retirement, are now es-
timated to be S89,0O0,Oo0 more than
was anticipated last January after
adding ST ,500,0O0,000 for work relief,
and 100000 more than the re-
vised estimates of April 20.
AS previously stated, changes which
have occurred since last April have
added $344, 100000 to the estimated
expenditures, but there have been off,
setting reductions in other expendi-
lures amounting to $323,000,000.
Changes Required in
Old Age Reserve Account.
A part of this reduction was in the
estimated expenditures under the old
age reserve account. While the former
estimate of expenditures for invest
ments under this account was $780,
O0O, 900 1t has been found, upon a re-
examination of the status Of the fund,
that the total amount of investments
in the account on June 80, 1888,
should be $500, 100000. Inasmuch as
| $265, 900, 900 was invested prior to this
fiscal year, the remaining amount
necessary to place the fund in proper
status at the end of this fiscal year
is $425, 100000, a reduction of $115,-
100000 in the amount previously esti-
mated.
The remaining reductions, amount
ing to 100000, are accounted fol
by savings to be effected by admins
trative action in curtailing other
classes of expenditures.

classifcations the present estimate o1

A third game will be played by the

GRAVE[Y BECOMING
POWER in SENATE
Rocky Mount Solon Strong
Man in Nearly All Up
per House Fights
Daily Dispatch Burenu,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
RV HENRY AVERHI.

Raleigh, Feb. 15.-As the session
goes on here, Senator Lee L Gravely.
of Rocky Mount, is regarded more
and more as one of the really strong
men in the upper house. In fact there
are number of experienced obser-
vers who unhesitatingly pronounce
him the ablest law-maker among the
fifty who compose the Senate.
In practically every important
phase of the session, he has been
prominent and his influence has been
widely exerted. On the tobacco COM
pact bill his was one of the leading
voices. In the joint appropriations
committee he has taken a leading
part in every decision. 1t was he who
was chosen TO explain in detail the
old age assistance measure, and he
did his work so we'll that the bill pass
ed by As to 1.
In the current liquor fight, he is
in the forefront and opponents of a
Statewide referendum freely concede
they have drawn much of their
strength through Senator Gravely's
efforts. His opponents admit they fear.
him as much as any man in the legis-
lature.
Biggest Job Yet To Come.
Yet withal he has not yet reached
the project which is nearest his heart
and with which he will lie most close
ly connected. This is the proposal to
appropriate something like a quarter
million dollars for use by the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment in. advertising to the world the
advantage and resources of North
Carolina. 1t is predicted on all sides
that he will see this through to enact
ment.
Sneator Gravely is serving his
fourth term. In 1895 he was chair
man of the appropriations committee
and it was thought that he might be
picked to head finance at this session
but in the primary for lieutenant gov
ernor he backed George McNeill while
w. p. Horton was successful. Is a
result he was not assigned the most
import post, but was named chairman
of the committee on conservation and
development.
