Shaw Forecasts No Alarm Over 1906 Finances
Washington January 1 Secretary Shaw urges cheer and conservatism as he presents the year’s financial record. Receipts for 1906 reach 625 million dollars while expenditures total 566 million, with a 25 million surplus in the first half of the fiscal year and cash in treasury at 190 million. He attributes the rise in receipts to extraordinary trade activity, not tariff changes, and argues the independent treasury system did not cause money stringency. He cites rising circulation, a 200 million dollar annual increase, and notes increased per capita consumption driving demand and imports.
