$4,000, 600, of which internal taxes
make up about one third of the
whole, and during he last few years
the expenditures have been increas
ing with more rapidity than the rev
enues. 1t is doubtful whether, with
all our resources, including internal
taxes, the statement of the treasiir,
that will be presented in the Presi
dents message to Congress, will
show as much as $40,000,000 of sur
plus for the present fiscal year, and
the question will then present itsel
for positive solution, whether there
shall be repeal Of internal taxes
when the repeal must necessitatt
either very large reduction in ex-
penditures or bankrupt treasury
The last Congress was largely in
favor of a severe reduction of inter.
nal revenue taxes, but the question
was never reached in either body as
a distinct proposition. Both the
House and the Senate tariff bills
largely reduced internal taxes, and
both claimed to reduce the revenue
about $40 100000, but the effect OF
either measure upon the revenue was
purely conjectural Could Congress
have reached direct vote on the
repeal of the tobacco tax it would
have succeeded by a large majority,
and it is certain that all other inter
nal taxes except those levied on
whisky and probably beer would
have been repeale! if the direct
question had reached vote. 1t is
probable that reduced tax of about
so cents would have been retained
on whisky by the last Congress, but
that is the most that could have
stood the pruning knife of our law
makers.
1t is understood t hat the Southern
Republicans who have taken a stand
on the issue, will demand the entire
repeal Of the internal revenue sys-

made profligate promises as to pen
sions and other speculative schemes,
and want an excuse for not fulfilling
their pledges. With the repeal of
the internal taxes increased pen
sions could not be entertained. and
only the severest economy in every
department of the government would
enable the revenues to meet the ex
penditures. 1t is an open secret
that the leaders Of the present adj
ministration are appalled, at their
campaign pledges about expendi-
lures which now confront them with
the demand for fu fillmept. and the
the only way to retreat from policy
of fatal profigacy Is to cut down the
revenues to poiat that must not

champions are, therefore, in a favor

it is not only pr ssihle but quite

Make the Investigation Public

Il
The committee who are investiga
ting the management Of the Pension
Bureau must have found that tn,
misdeeds and stupidities of Commits
sioner Tanner exceeded their appre
tensions. We draw this conclusion
from the fact that they have decided
to ask Secretary Noble to relieve
them from their task, as they FIND
1t will take many months; also be
cause the junior Republican orgar
in this city is INDUCING in so man,
startling innuendoes about General
Blacks administration of the office
The Republicans have been in
charge Of the office for four months
and if General Black had been guilty
Of the offenses charged they would
have discovered it long ago. They
cannot make the plea that they did
not expect to find irregularities in
the Pension Office, for they have
been denouncing the General ior
years.
The fact that no charges have
been made against the General until
this time, eompels the inferance that
there was no basis for the accuse
tions. There was no suggestion OF
the present investigation until Com
missioner Tanners rulings resulted
in such a scandal. When it was
found then that something vas
necessary to divert the odium of
such an appointment from the Ad-
ministration, the present investioa-
ton, which has already ended in
failure, was cooked up
In an interview in the Press yes

Myron Davis wife and two children left
the house at Z o'clock to attend school
entertainment. There were left in the
house Mrs. Hale and two of Mr.. Davis
young children and Chris Berger, or
Stickenberger (he went by both names).
The boy seemed to be in good
hnmor when they left the house. At
12 O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs. Davis re-
turned. and upon entering the bed
room occupied by Mrs. Hale and the
two children, they were Mortified at
finding lying on the floor in pool of
blood the body of Mrs. Hale. The dead
woman's face was a Mortified sight.
Lying on the dead woman's breast, its
little hands covered with her blood,
was the youngest child, aged three
years. 1t had evidently craWled
on the body after death.
A search was then made. 1t was found
that the drawers of bureau in the
room where the murder was committed
had been ransacked. A silver watch.

coinage of 1912, which was keepsake
