The total re ceipts are estimated at $128,037,500 he said, but this figure is reduced about $8,000,000 because of under collections amounting to and continuing appropriations o.

The budget does not include receipts in coming two years from the emer gency gasoline or the profits taxes, both of which expire by limitation with this fiscal he asserted. In explaining his estimates revenue, the Governor attacked the estimate made by Auditor General as being inaccurate and said that a estimate for all General Fund receipts (including the ordinary gasoline tax and certain deferred collections from the emergency taxes), in the next biennium will be $132,850,000 or $8,850,000 more than estimated from these by the Auditor this fiscal he aserted, State will spend from the General Fund as estimated by the spending agencies, a total of $136,380,026.75.

When he presented the budget to the Legislature two years ago, the Governor said he estimated the appropriation liability on June 1, would be but that that all figures are available, it appears the appropriation liability was Of this amount he said either has been or will be paid lie- fore June 1, 1925. In his speech, the Governor made no suggestions for changes in the provisions of existing laws relating to Special Funds, rely explaining that self-sustaining activities not only relieve the general taxpayers but also supply a sound reason for the fees and licenses which sustain each The Governor suggested a radical change relative to the gasoline taxes. At present the receipts go into the General Fund, but lie reconUnends that they be paid to the Highway Department after June 1, of this year, to the interest and sinking fund payments on highway bonds His budget provides for expenditure of of Highways funds, which includes the bond issue now not available because of a flaw in the enabling act of the is ue.

M. Lord, Director of the Budget. Since 1921, he said, the people have benefited by tax reductions aggregating $2,000,000,000 annually, while government expenditures have been reduced over $3,000,000,000. With economy still the watch-word of his administration, the President urged all government officers to cooperate with him in the expenditure of money appropriated by Congress. The people of the country, the President said, have not been patient, but heroic in the matter of the Federal tax burden and while taxes had been materially reduced it was his determination to light on until they can be reduced still further.

The President declared it to be his desire that government expenditures this year be kept within which is $62,000,000 less than the budget. With the co-operation of department. heads. Mr. Coolidge said, he believed the savings he has set out to make can be accomplished.

Reductions in the number of government employees, he urged, was one means of reducing government cost. The policy hereafter would be to get more work done with fewer workers. The compensation of the workers not be cut, he said, and the only way to reduce a payroll that last year meant the expenditure of was to reduce the number on the payroll. For 192G, the President said, the outlook was that there would be a -mrplus of $373,000,000. Asserting that the intensive drive for economy was increasing govern- nent efficiency, the President declared those who are inclined to scoff it it, those who are inclined to refer it as cheese paring, look at the remit it has accomplished, They will ind there an answer which is complete and overwhelming.

If the prac- ice of economy is not popular, the results of it are viewed with tremen- lous Increased business activity and ma- prosperity were predicted by he President, This, he said, would nean increased revenues, but he does propose that growing revenues diall be absorbed by unwarranted in Federal expenses. fiscal year will mark the close four years of effort to reduce the of government," the Presi- ient. successful these efforts lave been can be summarized in a -ery few words. the fiscal year 1921 we spent 5,538 000,000. It is estimated that we vill spend this fiscal year HlO.

This will show a reduction in expenditures of $2,004.000,000. The four years will show a reduction the public debt of approximately 3.198,000.000. This means a reduc- ion in the annual interest from to $865,000,000, saving of each year, the same period of time the people have benefited by a material in taxes of about yearly. This is certainly an enviable record, It is a record in which he executive branch of the government shares credit with the ive branch. Chief Executive is pledged to economy in the requests which he uakes upon Congress for funds.

This has been kept in the several ts. In its consideration of these budgets the Chief Executive has had he support of Congress.
