Fiscal Year.
HUGE EXPENDITURES
ECONOMY IS NECESSARY
Secretary of Treasury Houston
Tells Bankers or Federal Pro
gramme to Meet Indigencies.
irASinXGTXDN", Oct. 20. Govern-
merit expenditures of J4, 000, 000, 000
during the next fiscal year wereore-
cast by Secretary Houston of the :
treasury department today, before the'
convention of the American Bankers'
association, in wh ich he overed a
id raage of financial and economic
problems of the nation.
The secretary outlined the trea
sury's programme for handling the
wa r drbt and appealed for "the
etrictett economy not only in our ex
penditures, federal, state, county and
municipal, but also by thrift on the
part of our people, "adding that the
programme necessitated the main
tenance of taxation "after this fiscal
yar on a level of not less, than $.
000.0oo.000 annually. He paid there
were indications of falling receipts.
Taxes 31ut Be Reformed.
"In saying the -Aggregate receipts
for the government, should be main-
tained at a high level for the pur- j
pones indicated," he conti nued, "I am
by no means committing myself to ex
isting schedules or to specific taxes.
J think it of urgent importance that
there be prompt resurvey of the sit- i
uation with a view to reform of the
taxes, wiping out of inequities and1
inequalities and the assurance of suf
ficient revenue which may not be re-i
alized if the present system remains
intact." j
.The treasury's programme had been
disarranged, the secretary said, by :
jrlie heavy burdens imposed by the i
transportation act. He estimated the )
total amount which the government j
will pay the roads at $1,000,000,000,1
about one-fourth of which already
has been turned over to them. The
remainder will be paid, the secretary!
thought, by early spring. j
IlontI Redemption Predicted. i
Mr. Houston predicted rapid reduc- l:
tioti in the gross national debt through
the coming year, particularly the
$2,350,000,000 short term certificates
outstanding. The- treasury programme,
he added, would result in reducing
this below 2. 000,000,000 and perhaps
to $1,500.000,OUO.
By the end of the fiscal year, 1922,
Mr. Houston declared the treasury
shiuld have redeemed Ito entire
"floating debt" or the short term
certificates, when the victory notes
maturing the next year would become
practically the "floating debt," and
probably be accepted in payment of
federal taxes.
Turning to the demands of farmers
for government help, Mr. Houston
said, "scarcely had a reduction iu the
cost of living manifested itself when
every producer manifested resistance."
"livery producer is willing for the
products of every other producer to
decline, but protests the decline in
his own," h continued "There is
jnuch human nature in this, but not
much reasonableness. ;
Situation Kettnlt of War.
"The situation is the result mainly
of war and in no small measure the
failure of thir nation and nations
everywhere to date to devise better
arrangements for storage and market
ing of farm products. For these
things no one in particular is
to blame.
"In the circumstances It seems to
tome farmers that they are in the
way of being hit firt if not ex
clusively. .They are naturally dis
turbed and distressed and are seeking
relief measures, some of which are
nit practical and some of which are
suicidal.
"The first impulse of many Is to
turn to the government, and espe
cially to the treasury as the sole in
tst i unit uta Hty for full economic sal
v;t t ion. This d isposit ion, well de
vcltipt'i before the war, was rein
t ore id during hosti I i ties by practices
of the government which became
necessary fur the sucessful prosecu
tion of the war and the preservation
of national life.
"it is the same disposition which
causes resort to the government for
all sorts of appropriations, many even
of a purely local character.
"if there is a fault, and T think
there is, the blame rests largely with
the public, which remains quiescent
while interested groups are clamor
ous. When the people realize this
fact there will be a remedy and not
until then."

Lumber production In the state has
been seriously curtailed as a result
of the recent increase in railroad
rates, according to an announcement
made Tuesday following a survey
made of the leading mills of the state.
The suryey showed that 47 per cent
of the mills, in point of cutting capac
ity, had been closed down.
A total of 50 mills were comprised
In the . survey. Of thia number 28
were shown to have closed down or
partially so.
Advices received from a prominent
lumber firm in Chicago warned'-ship-pers
here not to try and send ship
ments to middle western points in
competition with southern pine, with
freight rates where they are at pres
ent. Northwestern shippers, the ad
vices said, could not compete with the
southern shippers owing to the low
figure at which the southern pine
was being offered. This was said to
be true except in the case of unusu
ally long or unusually big timbers.
