The article argues over a $59,665,000 1907-08 deficit amid calls of extravagance by “The New York Evening Post” and “The New York Times.” It defends Congress for early 1907-08 appropriations, notes contrasts with private finance, and highlights seven-year surpluses under Roosevelt totaling about $257,000,000 with substantial cash for the Isthmian Canal.
