Treasury Report Shows Deficit Despite Revenue Decline
Ellis H. Roberts presents the 1904 fiscal year Treasury transactions to Secretary Shaw. Net ordinary revenues were 40,149,? a drop from the prior year, while ordinary expenditures rose to 682,402.32. Expenditures include 50 million for Panama Canal and 4.9 million loan to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company. Deficiency of 41,770,571 would have been a surplus if debt operations matched. Gold certificates and bank deposits rise, circulation grows, and fewer dollars return to the Treasury as redemptions peak for national bank notes. Continued gold imports and policy proposals are outlined to stabilize currency without inflation.

Death Rate Lower Across States Warned by Census Bulletin
A Census Office bulletin discusses weak birth and death registration in many states and the resulting unreliable mortality statistics. It notes only a few states approach completeness, with massachusetts and connecticut best among them, and cites errors from unknowns in reporting conjugal status and occupations as a major issue. The report highlights a drop in deaths from consumption and diseases of children, offset by rises in pneumonia and other old-age diseases, and credits public health education on tuberculosis with improving outcomes.
