— - BIG REDUCTION Figures Sent to Congress by Secretary MacVYeagh. TOTAL OVER $700,000,000 Expenses for 1911 Placed at Mé}o Than One Hundred Millions Lees . Than the Appropriations for the ! Current Year—Practice of “Pad- ding” Amounts Needed by Various Departments No Longer the Style. ‘Washington, Dec. 7.—That there has been a careful scrutiny of the esti- mates of appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, is shown by the figures submitted to the house of representatives by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh. The grand total of estimates for 1911 is $732,223,075, which is $103,370,303 less than the T e appropriations for the currémt fsecal year and $123,066,483 under the esti- mates submifted a year ago for 1910. Heretofore it has been the practice of department officers to “pad” the estimates with the expectation that the amounts would be materially re- duced before being finally passed by congress. As soon as President Taft came. into ‘office he directed that this practice be discontinued and gave no- tice to the members of his cabinet that in the future all estimates must be submitted on the basis of the ac- tual needs and requirements of the service. The result is, the officials say, thet the figurés submitted are down to bedrock basis. Millions Are Sliced Off, Earge reductions in the estimates a8 compared with the appropriations for the current year are: In the treasury department a- de- erease of $12,000,000 for public works; In the war department about $6,000, 000 in the military establishment made up of decreases 'in the - estimates for regular supplies, comstruction works for the army, mounted equipment, transportation, ordnance and manufac- ture of arms and $2,500,000 for public works, exclusive of the Panama canal; in the navy department $26,000,000, due partly to the fact that Secretary Meyer has not asked for any money for new ships and that only $4,000,000 is requested for armor and ‘armament as against an appropriation of $12,- 462,000 for this year; in the postoffice department a reduction of $5,000,000 in the estimated deficiency in the pos- tal revenues, and in the department of commerce and labor a decrease from $10,000,000. to $2,000,000 on. ac- count of the thirteenth census. On the other hand, there is an increase of nearly $15,000,000 for isthmian ca- nal expenses. CYCLONE IN- TERRE - HAUTE Storm Does Considerable Damage in Indiana Town.
