this fact before in this correspondence
the hypocrisy of -such legislation nev
er before heand tf in making appro
priations for the current year in de
ficiency bills ordinarily, designed to
provide deficiency, for past appropria
tions for years ended or about to end.
The mean thing about the two defi
ciency bills enacted a few months ago
is that the were enacted as deficien
cy bills. for the year ending June 30
last, that fiscal .year having Its appro
priations but made by and Upon the
recommendation of Democrats, hence
the reanoh for calliner these' two, bills
aprepriating .nearly two hundred mil
lion dollars for future expenditure in
deficiency bills .or in an attempt to
fool tike people by adding to appro
priations for expenditures authorized
by the preceding Democratic admin
istration, when in fact practically all
of the appropriations were for expen
diture for fhe ; future.
Who. would have thought it? But
it is nevertheless true for we have it
upon the Authority of the President's
personal organ, the Washington Post
that - the Treasury Department is
about to submit estimates for huge
deficiency appropriations approxi
mately $310,000,000 with only three
months of the present fiscal year
passed.. In .other words, the present1
administration will begin to present
defikency .bills; at the beginning of the
fiscal year and perhaps keep it up un
' til the 'end.
The announcement is also made that
"Congress as a whole is not prepared
for the recepit of these disconcerting
requests for additional funds, etc,"
It might be added with equal truth
that the taxpayers are not prepared
for them .either .because the taxpayers
1 of the country were "told" "when the.
hud ret bill was naBsed in .fact they
wereromjsedrrthal.there would be.
no more deUcicncies. Yet ' in the sec

deficiency bill of $48,600,000 for the

conies the statement that the adminis
tration face .huge deficits and must
have be ween $300,000,000 and ?400,
C00.00O mons.
To make matters worse it is stated
.the Treasury Department had these
deficiencies in mind when it made up
its estimates.
The budget act was passed to mee:
popular objection to deficiency appro
priations. Congress, realizing how
obnoxious deficiency appropriations
are to the taxpayers, has made it a
criminal act for a department to cre-

of $454JX)0,000. He then aUtee that
the President decided to reduce this
amount by $520,000,000, . (of which
$170,000,000 would be through reduc
ed public debt expenditures and $350
000,009 would be through reduced or
dinary expenditures, thus keeping the
expenditures at $4 ,034,000.000. 1 Con

would be td(e to proceed m (hat bat
