NEAL International New* Service Congress alone can save the nation's Treasury from a deficit next year If the Administration has given Congress a true statement of the present condition of Uncle Sam’s pocketbook, Representative Joseph W. Byrns (D.) of Tennessee, ranking minority member of the House Appropriations Committee, declared today. The budget message of President Coolidge. based upon Treasury figures, estimated the probable sur plus for the fiscal year 1929 at $36,990,192 and for 1930 at $60,576,- 182. Budget Estimates Exceeded "The surplus estimates were cal culated upon budget estimates,” said Byrns. “Since the budget was submitted, President Coolidge has requested $75,000,000 to meet a deficit in income tax refunds and the House has approved a $12,000,- 000 loan to Greece. "On the face of the administra tion’s figures a deficit is certain if Congress adheres to the budget. Apparently, therefore, the only w’ay that it can be avoided is for Con gress to cut the budget estimates to the bone.” Representative John N. Garner (DJ. of Texas, one of the Demo cratic fiscal experts of the House, declared the matter of a deficit is entirely in the hands of the Admin istration. Asserting, that the Treasury has not given Congress a true picture of the nation’s finances In the past, he indicated that he believed the Administration may be throwing out a "deficit scare” to hold down appropriations. "Congress has not been given a clear view of- the situation as it should have in making appropria tions,” he said. "The Administra tion has it within its power to 'either create or avoid a deficit. Inconsistent Methods Charged “Whenever the Administration wants an appropriation to go through the talk of deficit is for gotten. This was true when a 112.- 000,000 loan was voted to Greece the other day. When some ap propriation in which the people are vitually interested and which the Administration opposes is brought up. the Administration leaders say there will be a deficit.” Republican leaders, white ex pressing confidence that a deficit will be avoided, have continued to demand utmost economy.

The city beautiful idea Is there, but the funds are lacking. For this reason the concessions policy has Wien broadened. Only 28 cities and towns out of a total of 720 have sewage sys tems. There are 50 cities, accord ing to the survey, .of more than 50,000 population, in which the sewage disposal methods are a menace to health. Only 39 per cent of the cities have water systems. Eveh in Mos cow SO per rent of the homes have no running water. In Lenin grad 40 per cent have no water connections. Forty-one of the 720 cities have street cars. Before the war 32 cities had Illuminating gas plants. Now there are only two in the entire country—one in Moscow and one in Kazan. Both supply only a fraction, of the inhabitants. Great strides have been made bv the Soviets in the electrification of the country. Cities having elec tric light and power have doubled in number since the war. In Czarist Russia foreign capital owned and operated about 30 per cent of the public utilities.
