NO NEED OF A BOND ISSUE.
Cash Balance and Revenues
Are Sufficient For All
Expenses.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The income
tax decision, it's effect upon the rev.
enues and the probabilities Of an extra
session of congress to provide means for
supplying the deficit, were the chief
subjects Of discussion in official and po-
litical circles. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, one of the ablest constitutional
lawyers in the senate, said the decision
leaves the taxing powers of the govern
ment in state of wreck. 1t will re-
quire long time for US to gather up
the fragments Principles Of taxation
which were considered well settled are
torn up by this decision
"How will the question come up in
the senator
sin connection with the question Of
iefunding the $75, 900 already collected
and the refund Of the cotton, whisky,
beer and tobacco taxes. All those taxea
are as much direct taxes as the tax on
personality and are unconstitutional
according to the decision of the su.
preme court"
''What can congress dO?'
"Of course" replied Senator Nor
gan. congress will have to accept the
decision, but an amendment to the con.
stitution is always possible.
No Extra Session.
Senator Faulkner of West Virginia
said that he thought there was no
danger of al extra session ant
earthly chance for one. He added:
''The country will not suffer so much
from lack of legislation as it would
from a session of congress"
Representative Updegraff of Iowa
said: 'The tax was not an unpopular
one in the West. However, think the
court did we'll to declare the whole act
void after it had been devitalized by
the first Judgment. 1 see no necessity
for all extra session Of congress now"
Members Of the adm nistration who
are undoubtedly fully acquainted with
the presidents views AMI purposes
state unhesitatingly that an extra ses'
sion of congress is ont Of the question
Nor is there the least likelihood of an"
other bond issue. The treasury now
has q balance of over $1S0,OO0, 900,
which is available for all purposes and
this amount is more
Likely to BE Increased
than diminished during the next few
months. It is argued that the ap-
preaching fruit canning season is GER
tain to make a largely increased de-
mand for sugar, which, owing to the
small supply on hand must be imported.
The revenues from this source are con-
fidently expected to reach several mil
lions and this added to the large
amounts which very soon will begin to
come in from renewed liquor licenses
will largely augment the revenues
even should the customs not meet
present expectations. All licenses ex-
pire on June 80 in each year and judy
ing from last years revenues the re.
ceipts this year from this source will
exceed IS, 10000 which must be paid
within the next 40 days. In the mean
time the expenditures will be kent
down to the lowest po'nt consistent
with good business principles.
