THE FISCAL YEAR 1926.
The fiscal year 1926 ended on June 30, and the fiscal
year 1927 is now well under w~ay. The year just past has
been the best and most satisfactory since the close of the
world war. The public debt during the last twelve months
has been reduced from $20,516,000,000 to $19,680,000,000
—or about $836,000,000.
Ordinary government expenses have been increased
from about $3,780,000 last year to about $3,940,000,000
this fiscal year; but this increase is largely accounted for
by increases in internal revenue refunds, increase in sink
ing fund, and increase in adjusted service certificates.
General expenses decreased some $22,000,000; and inter
est on the public debt was reduced some $50,000,000.
Total ordinary receipts for the fiscal year just ended
were approximately $3,950,000,000, or more than $200,
000,000 in excess of the last fiscal year. Customs receipts
were about $575,000,000, and internal revenue income and
profits tax receipts were more than $1,975,000,000. Cus
toms receipts exceeded last year by more than $32,000,000
while internal revenue income and profits tax receipts
exceeded last year by more than $220,000,000. The ap
proximate surplus on June 30 was $400,000,000.
It is difficult to portray a clearer picture of govern
ment success and efficiency. No fiscal year in the history
of the government presents a better record. The secret
of this remarkable story is sound economic plans and safe
execution, all for the welfare of the whole people. The
credit of the government, the confidence of the business
world and the reliance of all on the men at the helm are
reflected in this splendid story of the fiscal year 1926.
A lot of local folk have been wondering what became
of all the tourists who arrived in the city on the Admiral
Watson. As a matter of fact they were whisked out of
town the same evening on the Tunerville Trolley.
POTASH DEPOSITS
It is the expert opinion of geologists that the potash
deposits in the United States, if developed, are sufficient
to supply this country with all the fertilizer the country
needs. When the 1922 tariff bill was being framed an ef
fort was made to place a reasonable import duty on for
eign potash in order to give Ameican capital and enter
prise an opportunity to develop an American potash in
dustry of magnitude; but the effort failed.
The war furnished complete protection; but when
the war was over the German and French producers con
trolled the world markets, including the markets of the
,United States. Whatever progress w~as made in the dir
ection of an American industry was largely lost by rea
son of free foreign competition and control.
Congress has agreed to a bill providing for an appro
priation of $100,000 each year for four years, to enable
the Interior and Commerce departments to determine the
location, extent and mode of occurrence of potash de
posits in the United States, and to determine the best
methods of developing those deposits.
If the United States could be made independent of
foreign sources for its potash, it would save millions of
dollars iov the farmers and growers, who use immense
quantities of that commodity. This may prove to be an
opportunity for the prospectors of Alaska.
