Only Notable Increase Is In Estimate for Department . Of Agriculture WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (Pi Congress today gathered up some of the loose ends of legislation left dangling by its adjournment Inst June and prepared to roll up its sleeves and get down to work on the appropria tions bills that will largely occupy its attention until March 4. The second day of the new session saw the president's annual budget message proposing appropriations of $:!,71'0,.-il9,S4G for the uext fiscal year, delivered by messeffger and read in both senate and house; the inter ior bill, carrying $i!:!S,000,000, plac ed on n position for immediate con sideration in the house; and a-deficiency bill which lost out nt the close of last session passed almost without debato in the senate. In submitting the budget the pres ident suggested that no tax legislation should be undertaken for the present and the lenders generally laid their dans to reduce general legislation of ail kinds to a minimum and leave a clear field for the big supply meas ures. Mr. Coolidge's nnnqnl message on the state of the union will be sent to the capitol and rend in both houses tomorrow.

OP) President Coolidge informed congrosH today that present estimates point to a surplus of revenue's over expendi- tures of $G7.8S4,4S0 for the present ' fiscal year and of $.7:S.74.'"14 for; the fiscal year but he odvinw! ; against any further tax reduction mi-1 til definite results from the present ' tax law are known. - j 'Jf we contiuue. the campaign for: economy, we will pave, the way for further reduction in taxes," the prcsi- dent said in a sperial message sub- mitting the annual budget. 'This re- j duct ion can not be effected inimodi- , ately. liefore it is undertaken, we j should know more definitely by ac- ' tual operations what our reveuues will be under our present tax law. But the knowledge of our revenue un- j der the existing law will avail u ! nothing if we embark any ucw large expenditure program." Recalls Recommendation I The president recalled his recom mendation for a reduction in taxes ' and said that thus far in this fiscal j year previous calculations of the re sults bad becu borne out He de- j clared a revision of, the out filiates for j IE Lira lis si ss New Secretary Takes Oath 102.1 showed that receipts for the current year should approximate $3, 0Ol.iXlS,:;i7 while the ' expenditures should not exceed $it,o.'t4,O.S;i..SOS, and compared these with the estimates for the next fiscal year, transmitted in the budget showing probable re ceipts of $3,041,JlC,OUJ and a prob able cash disbursement by the treas ury of $.t,2f.7.".l,:i7S which will in clude some funds approximated but not all expended, in the current year. lu analyzing the estimates submit ted the president said: "For the national defense Hie esti mates amount to $:.41UKKUMHI, which is 5i,(XH).(HKI less than the amount available this current fiscal year. These figures do not include non-military items of the war and navy de partments. This reduction is made in accordance with my belief that we can have adequate national defense with a more modest outlay of the taxpayers' money. Further study may point the way to additional reductiou without weakening our nat'iortul defense, but rather perfecting it. This nation is at peace with the world.
