M'ADOO ESTIMATES HUNDRED
TWELVE MILLIONS NEEDED
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—In a for
mal statement of the probable revenue
and expenditures of the government
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1917, Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department estimates that, assuming
that congress will continue In effect
the present emergency tax and also the
customs duty on sugar, an additional
sum of $112,806,340 dollars will be
needed to meet the government pro
pram of expeditures, including $9,380,
000 to meet the new measures for the
nutional defense.
McAdoo is not in favor of making
a special bond issue to meet the de
fense program and asserts in the
statement that it is preferable to in
crease international taxation rather
than to issue interest bearing bonds
which will only tend to add to the in
creased costs. The secretary asserts
that such taxation will not be required
| for a longer period than the first year
i of the defense program as in his
| opinion the state of the treasury will
he much improved by the beginning
of 1918.
McAdoo says in his statement that
the Immense sum needed for the extra
expenditures can be easily raised by
international taxation and without
bringing an appreciable burden on the
American people. The statement fur
^ her asserts that the special tax im
i posed last year will result In wiping
out the treasury deficit by June, 1917,
if continued In effect.
