 Robertson sometimes speaks of Business taking him to Australia
 That isn't strictly true. as his 1 friends know. The business was simply another attack of the itch

He suggested that the Federal aid

he said that the States also should
be encouraged to bring their highway
budgets back to more normal figure.
Discussing the construction Of new
Federal buildings, he said that more

REVIEW OF THE FISCAL YEARS
1897 AND 1888, AND THE FISCAL
PROGRAM FOR 1889.
This review concerns itself with the

by the Treasury in the fiscal year

Recommendations.

Appropriation item peto.-An I'M
portant feature Of the fiscal procedure
in the majority Of our States Is the
authority given to the executive to
withhold approval Of individual items
In IN appropriation bill, and, while
approving the remainder Of the bill, to
return such rejected items for the
further consideration Of the Legisla-
ture. This grant Of power has been
considered . consistent corollary Of
the power Of the Legislature to with
hold approval Of items in the budget
Of the executive; and the system meets
with general approval in the many
States which have adopted 1t. A re-
spectacle difference Of opinion exists
as to whether q similar item veto
power could be given to the President
by legislation or whether . constitu-
tional amendment would be necessary.
I strongly recommend that the present
Congress adopt whichever course it
may deem to be the correct one.
Commodity Credit Corp.-At pres
ent the funds for the operations Of the
Commodity Credit Corp. are provided
through ALLEGATIONS from the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. Such Losses
as tho Commodity Credit Corp. may
sustain upon its commodity loans re-
main an indefinite charge against the
Treasury until the liquidation Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. In order
to provide for an annual review OF
the operations Of the Commodity
Credit Corp. and Of its annual net cost
to the Government, recommend the
enactment by the Congress of legisla-
ton which will require an annual ap-
praisal Of the assets Of the corpora
ton, and, Is . means Of providing

crease of $1,101 ,573 900 in internal
revenue collections being partially or
set by reduction Of $74, 800, 900 in

Will Ask Funds II Necessary
To Save Citizens From Need,

1t Is hoped that this fact will not
be overlooked. It is fair to say that
this estimated reduction may, by force
Of circumstances, become smaller be-
cause Of future events which today
cannot definitely be foretold. I refer
specifically to the possibility that due
to world conditions over which this
Nation has no control, I may find it
necessary to request additional appro-
priations for national defense. Fur
thermore. the economic situation may
not improve-and il it does not, I
expect the approval Of Congress and
the public for additional appropria-
tions If they become necessary to save
thousands of American families from
dire need.
Revenues. During the first 10
months of the calendar year 1897
business conditions improved materi-
ally and it was the consensus of
opinion in Government and In business
circles that the improvement would
be maintained in 1888. There was every
reason to expect that the revenues
for the fiscal year 1899 would be
greater than the expected revenues
for 1888 and that with = reduction
In the cost of relief, the total expendi-
lures for 1889 would greatly decline.
That was the basis for our expecta-
ton of a balanced budget for the
fiscal year 1889.
The recent recession in business has
changed that outlook. Today it Is
necessary to revise the estimates Of
revenues. They will be less than we
had anticipated. They will, as far
as We can tell, remain below our esti-
mated necessary expenditures.
$5.s1s, 10000 Is Estimate
OF Revenue for Year.
We hope that the calendar year 1898
will bring an improvement in business
conditions and, therefore, in tax re-
ceipts. The Treasury, leaning to the
conservative side. predicts some i'm
provement over the present level but
does not assume in its figures that
business In the calendar year 1898
will reach as high a. level as In the
calendar year 1897.
The present estimate Of revenue
for the fiscal year 1899 is $5,9l9, 1000, 900
compared with the present estimate Of
receipts for the fiscal year 1898 of
$6,320, 600. .000-or. in other words, .
falling OF Of $401 ,O00, 900.
Balance.-The net result of these
estimates Of expenditures and receipts
shows for the fiscal year 1899 q net
deficit Of ss5o,Oo0. 900, but it is fair
to state at the same time that this
deficit will be $l3s,0O0,000 less than
the expected deficit in the current
1lscal year. In other words, for the
third year in succession we would con-
tinue to decrease the decit.
1t will be Of interest to compare the
major classes Of receipts and expendi-
lures for the fiscal years 1881 to 1899

CelptS 1Or tne IScal year 1887 amount
ed to S5,293, ,840,237, which was 1884,
100000 less than was estimated one
year ago but gain over 1896 of
s1,l78. 100000. The receipts from in
come taxes were $2l5, ,O0O, 900 less than
the estimate contained in the 1898
budget, while miscellaneous Internal
revenue taxes were $4,000, 900 less.
1t was believed last January that
taxes on carriers and their employees
would produce Sl34, 552 900, but litiga-
ton delayed collection of these taxes
and only s345 ,088 was received in 1887.
The tax on unjust enrichment pro-
duced only 1886, 1886, as against bud
get estimates Of $82 100000 a year
ago, while the receipts from social
security taxes were S72,000,000 less
than was estimated at that time. Gus
toms and miscellaneous receipts, how
ever, exceeded the amount anticipated
q year ago by $40, ,000, 900 and s1s, ,o00,-
600, respectively.
As pointed out in my message Of
April 20 last, the March, 1887, tax re-
turns brought to light certain defects
in the present revenue law. As a re-
suit Of these disclosures, committees
Of Congress have been considering
corrective tax legislation, and I hope
that there may be enacted at an early
date such amendments to the revenue
law. as will maintain the revenue
producing power Of the present tax
structure while correcting at the same
time existing proven inequities.
Fiscal Year Expenditures
Amounted to S8,1o5,15S,5l7.
Erpepdttures-The total expendi-
lures for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1887 exclusive OF expenditures
from postal revenues), amounted to
$8,l05,l58,5 SAT, rs compared with an
estimate Of 38.480, ,804 ,493 In the budg-
ct submitted a year ago. This latter
estimate included an amount of $404,-
525, 900 for statutory debt retirement
while the actual expenditures for this
purpose were $103,97 200. Thus, ex-
cluding debt retirement, the expendi-
lures for the fiscal year 1897 were
SIS ,092,l46 less than the estimate for
that year contained in the 1898 budg-
ct. The total expenditures for recov-
cry and relief were $3,014,589,913, as
against an estimate Of 1914, ,68s, 700.
Revolving funds showed q net credit
Of $243,569,1 ,165, which was $84, $685.
435 less than the previous budget
estimate of $32s,532 800. Transfers to
trust accounts totaled $s72, 1886, ,04s,
while the estimates for this purpose
amounted to $842,235, 800. For the
operation and maintenance Of the reg
ular departments and establishments
Of the Government, including interest
on the public debt, there was expended
$4,357, 780,551, while the amounts esti-
mated for these purposes totaled $4,-
1887 ,os3.
e. Deficit and public debt.-The gross
deficit for the fiscal year 1887 amounted
to $2,811,3l8,31l. Excluding $103, ,971,-
200 for statutory debt retirement, the
net deficit was $2.707, ,347,111. The
estimated net deficit, as contained in
the budget submitted . year ago, was
48.128,774. The increase in the
net deficit Is more than accounted for
by the decline in receipts.
The increase in the gross public debt
during the year amounted to $2,646,-

on June 80, 1887, to t36,424, ,e13, ,732. =
