The minister sald, however, that in view of the continuing in- crease of the.revenue over the estimates this deficit would certainly be greatly re- duced before the cnd of the financial year. He pointed out also that while the esti- mates for 1901-04 showed a defieit of 18,000, 000 lire here again no allowance had been wade for Increasing revenues, which prob- ably would redvee the deflelt. Signor Rublni explained that these small deficits arose from tho paying off of tho debt and from outlay for railroad construc- tlon. The budget situation he characterized us essentially good, but Insisted that “it was absolutely tmperative to abstain from all increase of taxation and fresh loans in order to secure budget which by raising credit amd confidence in the country will enable the rovernment to proceed with much desired extensive and useful reforms.” MORE ATTENTICN TO ENGLISH t Hereafter the 1 Devote More Time Saxon Toungue.
