object of calling special session
is TO provide ways and means 10 furnish
work for the unemployed, to repeal the
Infamous bonding system which is fast
burdening our municipalities with debts,
and permit the state, counties, cities and
school districts to make public improve

scrip and that scrip receivable for taxes.

WILL KEEP THEIR GOLD.
New York Bankers. It Is Thought. Won't
Help the Treasury.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. 4-SOme gossip is
being indulged in as to the probability Of
furthe immediate gold shipments, in
view Of the fact that the average loss Of
gold to the treasury in January for the
past two years has been S9,O00O00
Some of the treasury officials dosnot
believe that there is any prospect Of such
shipments, while others hold to the 0pin-
ion that with the stiffening of rates Of
exchange, such exports are altogether
probable.
The belief IS general. however. that if
such shipments are indulged in, the New
fork banks would not come to the rel ef
Of the treasury to any considerable ex-
tent, and thus prevent the depletion Of
the gold reserve.

CHICAGO, January 4.-The income tax
clause of the Wilson bill. was the princi-

opinion was represented. A number Of
those who expressed opinions thought
that men whose incomes exceeded IS, 900

favor the limit Of $4,000.
Not more than one man in every
twenty expressed himself as pleased
with the conditions of the clause, and a
