UTAH BUDGET PLAN TUBE DIFFERENT PLANS STATEMENT BEFORE THE " SENATE COMMITTEE. - ASSAILS NEW IN Appioximately The treasury secretary presented his estimate to the senate finance committee without comment other than to urge that no legislation be enacted which would lay an additional burden on the nations finances. The estimate was accompanied by figures showing the cost of carrying out any one of the five optional provisions of the bonus bill provided all former service ' men chose a single plan. The figures for the various plans ranged frc$n $1,342,000,000 for the adjusted pay provisions, to $4,534,000,000 for the insurance provision. The maximum possible cost of tlie vocational training aid and tlie farm and home development plans was placed at $1,880,000,-00- 0 each, while the secretary said the fifth pfovision, a plan for land settlement, held so many uncertainties that it was impossible to estimate the possible expenditure. Submission of the estimated total cost made an apparent impression upon members of the committee which is considering the bonus bill as passed by the house at tbe last session. Members declined to forecast the decision of the committee on the question of reporting out the measure, but it was recalled that Senator McCumber, Republican of North Dakota, stated at the opening of hearings on the bill that Us passage Would dependjlargeiy on the state of government finances and that Mr. Houston had testified the treasury, with normal expenditures, would have a deficit of $2,100,000,000 for the year ending next June 30, and a deficit of $1,500,000,000 for the following twelve months.
