branches of the foreign service.
During many years past appeals
have been made from time to time to
congress in favor of governnicjit own
ership of embassy and legation prem
ises abroad. The acquisition by- the
government of such suitable resi
dences and offices for ljs diplomatic
officers is so Important and necessary
to an improved diplomatic service that
I have no hesitation in urging, upon
the congress the passage of some
measure that would authorize the
gradual and annual acquisition of
premises for diplomatic employees.
Treasury Department ;
Estimates for next year's expenses
Every effort has been made by each
department chief to reduce the est!
mated cost of his department for the
ensuing fiscal year ending June 30
1912. These estimates thus made pre
sent the smallest sum which will main
tain, the department bureaus and of
fices of the government and meet its
other conditions under existing law
and that a cut of these estimates would
result in embarraslne the executive
branch of the government. This re
mark does not apply totthe river and
harbor estimates except to those or
expenses of maintenance and tne
meeting of obligations under author
ized contracts, nor does it apply, to
tiio puvue omitting out nor to tne navy
building program. ' ;
The final estimates for the year end
ing June 30, 1912, as the have been
sent to the treasurer on Nov. 29, of
thts year.for ordinary expenses of he
government, including those for pub
lic buildings, rivers and harbors and
the navy building program amount to
$630,494, 013.12. This la $52,964,
887.36 leas than the appropriations for
the fiscal year ending June SO, 1911.
Jt Is $16,883,153.44 less than'the to
tal estimates including supplemental
estimates submitted to congress by the
treasury for the year 1911 and is $5,-
574,659.19 less than the" original, esti
mates 'submitted by the treasury for
1911. These figures do not include
the appropriations for the Panama ca
nal, the policy In' respect to ' which
3i ougm 10 oe, ana is, to spena as mucn
each year as can be economically and
effectively expended in order to com
plete the canal as promptly as possi
ble. It will be noted that the estimates
for the. Canal for the ensuing year are
I more than fifty-six millions of dollars
. . .
an increase of twenty" minions over
the amount appropriated for this year,
a difference due to the fact that est!
mates for 1912 Include something over
$19,000,000 for the fortification of the
canal. Against .the., estimated expen
ditures of $630,494,013.12 the treasury
haa estimated receipts for next year
$680,000,000 making a probable sur
plus of ordinary receipts over ordin'
lary-expenditures of aboht 150,000,000,
or taking Into account the estimates
for the Panama .canal which are $56,'
920,847.69,. it will mean .. deficit ; for
ihe next .year otabout. $7,000,000
Jcongress shall conclude to fortify the
canal.,: The cost of the fortification of
the canal Is about. $19,000,001).
r-The president refer t to the, anti
quated methods In vogue In the treas
ury department and Bays that the head
jtthat department has for two .years
been striving, to bring the department
up to date, eliminating waste- and re
duclng the force, largely, in the. lnte.
estt,of economy.. By ..the detection
frauds In weighing augar upwards of
$3,400,000, have been.; recovered , from
.the beneficiaries, of the fraud and an
entirely new system free from the pos
sibility of such a fraud has been devils
ed. The department has perfected the
method of collecting: duties at the port
of New York so as to save the govern
ment upwards of ten or eleven million
dollars.,. . . .... ,v .
,v.xnere. are, entirely too many cub
toms districts and too many customs
collectors. .These districts should be
consolidated and the collectors
charge of them should be abolished or
treated as mere branch offices in ac
cordance with the plan of the treasury
department which will be presented
for the consideration of congress, r
