Speaker and Committee Chairmen Take Steps to Hold Down Appropriations and Avoid Deficit Following New Tariff Legislation. 'WASHINGTON, Dec. lJ.-TVemo- ocr&ttc chairmen of Appropriation Committees of the House assured Speaker Clark and House Deader Underwood to-day they would use influence with their committee mem bers to hold down all appropriations In compliance with the Baltimore convention platform Instruction for economy, and thereby run no danger of a Treasury deficit following en actment of the new tariff law. Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Gen eral Appropriations Committee, sub mitted a report estimating the reve nues for the fiscal year 1914-1915 at $1,035,000,000. The total estimate of regular and permanent annual appro priations for this year is $1,108,681,- 777. The excess of estimated apro- priations, exclusive of deficiencies and miscellaneous expenses, over the es timated revenues for the year is*$73,- 681,777. Were this deficiency to occur, it would have to be made up through a bond issue or be carried over against the next fiscal receipts. Estimates for the departments have exceeded al ways the annual appropriations, and the paring of estimates has been done by the House committees, allowance being made for the Inevitable in creases by the Senate. The total estimates for the fiscal year 1914-1915 are $38,466,498 In ex cess of the appropriations of last year. The estimates for 1913-1914 ag gregated $1,150,206,963 and the appro priations aggregated $1,098,678,788. The ax is to be wielded vigorously this year to cut the estimates below the. estimated revenues. The Navy Department has in creased its estimates for 1915 only $3,616,810 over tn? appropriations of 1914, but the .committee will have a majority in favor of authorization of two battleships, for which an appro priation will be made. As each ship requires three years to construct, the total appropriation for either ship wifi not be ma,de this vear. Increased appropriations for the Postoffice and Agriculture Depart ments are not to be opposed. It is held that the Postoffice Department wHl become a revenue producer with contemplated extension of the postal savings and parcel post systems. The Department of Agriculture is to be aided, because through educational work with farmers it is hoped to in crease production ,of food and reduce the cost of living. The $10,681,613 increase asked by the War Department is intended to cover assistance to be given State mi litia. It is probable that small public buildings and rivers and harbors bills, the pork barrels, will not be present ed, and the expenditures may be kept down. UA .
