Treasury deficit and causes in the 1914 fiscal year
The national treasury posted a deficit near 36 million dollars for the year ending June 34, 1914, reversing the prior year’s surplus of over 34 million.

If prosperity had persisted, income tax would have risen and customs receipts may have fared better. With adverse conditions likely to persist, the deficit is expected to grow.
