BACKS UP ON B G
TREASURY DEFICIT
- Washington, TDv 3.- WASHIXGfr
TOX BUREAU OK THE JOURNAL)
Information now comes from the White
House thers may be no deficit In the
treasury . balance at the end f the
fiscal year, owing, to back tax collec
tions, the operation of the budget sys
tem and so on. This shows a consider
able change in tune in less than two
months, when the big drive was on to
defeat the soldier bonus -
In his bonus veto message of Septem
ber 19 the : president' used this - lan
guage; ' -
rThe latest budget figures for th
current fiscal year show an estimated
deficit of more than 1650,000.000, and
a further deficit for the year succeed
ing, even after counting upon all in
terest collections on foreign indebted
ness which the government is likely to
receive.""
Since then somebody has waved a
wand over the treasury, for in recent
days treasury officials have been smil
ingly saying that the time is near at
hand when intake will be balanced
with outgo, and it will not be neces
sary to ask for additional taxes.
TREisrET GUESS BAD ,
If the- September treasury guesses,
which were apparently relied upon by
the" president, ' had been anyway near
true, the administration would have
to be considering plans for new tax
legislation. V'the issue of bonds. There
would be no other way, with a deficit
Of 1650,000,000 this fiscal year, and
more the next.- "after counting alt in
terest collections on foreign indebted
ness, as the president remarked.
In wartime, with sudden demands on
th treasury and new eimnAititmi
difficult to estimate, no -serious fault
. touio oo iouna witn a , treasury cal
culation, which went wrong by several
hundred million dollars within a few
months. It U considered somewhat re
markable that fh president's advisers
and. treasury experts In .1922. however.
should.be 4650,000,000 away in Novem
ber from what they solemnly asserted
as the best possible 'showing less than
two months earlier,' ; .. - .
In September the treasury furnished
the president with figures which were
well calculated to impress' the country
as ah argument agaiast taking on the
expense of the ,- bonus. - It may be
doubted . if the president's veto . would
have been sustained if he had said to
congress that "we probably will need
no new taxes: and there will be. no
deficit at the end of the fiscal year.".
PUBXIC 1.0SKTG 'FAITH '-
f ; If the latest version is correct, It, is
apparent that . payments of the bonus
could have been undertaken without
involving new taxation at the present
time, or foe several years. Appropria
tions of t7S.000.000 to 100,000.000, such
as the bius would have required the
first year. - are made by; congress for
other purposes with little concern as
to the .ability or the treasury to meet
them. - ' - 1: ' . . . . . .
' It may turn out that there will be a
deficit after all, : The public is losing
faith in the treasury guessers, who
find hundreds of millions in sight that
were not seen a few months earlier,
and it. Is not- easy to tell which set of
figures was actually fiotitious. the first
or the last. Anyway, believing the
bonus killed, the treasury officials have
become cheery, and buoyant, v
