NEED MORE MONEY Uncle Sam Needs a Pruning Knife to Save Himself IN THE HOLE , • Expenditures for Fiscal Year Will Exceed Receipts Over One Hundred Million • Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.—Uncle Sam is spending too much money. If the old genelman doesn't button up the flaps of his pockets soon and reduce his rate of living, he will have to borrow money to make both ends meet. While it is. true that the receipts of the treasury have begun to improve a little, and while this is an unfailing evidence of returning prosperity, the expenditures continue to mount up in a shocking fashion, and the deficit is little short of startling. As a result of this condition of affairs, word has been passed along that the estimates submitted by the departments are to be slashed unmercifully in congress. There must be most rigid economy to prevent a bond issue inside of a year. The policy of paying cash for work on the Panama canal • already has been abandoned completely. There is plenty of money in the treasury at the present time and there is no fear of bankruptcy, but . the available cash balance is growing smaller every day, and it is only a question of time —and that, too, not far in the future —when the balance will disappear entirely cr become so small that a bond issue for the payment of current expenditures will be absolutely 1 necessary. This is the most striking ! feature of the financial situation as it ■ will have to be met at the opening of • th® Taft administration. The present - congress makes appropriations for the - fiscal year beginning the first day of s next July. No one knows yet what i effect the revision of the tariff will have on revenues. The chances are . that if the rates are cut there will be j an increase in the revenue, because in many of the schedules the duties 1 are now prohibitory and there are no I importations at ail, practically speaking. As matters now stand, expenditures have exceeded receipts for five ’ months by the dangerous total of $54,- ' 019,018.. At that rate the for this fis- ' cal year would exceed $125,000,000. The receipts are increasing slowly, and would continue to do so, owing

to the recovery from the financial stringency, if it were not for the prospect of lower tariff rates which will cut down importations to some extent until after the new law goes into effect.
