notes These amendments would in
my opinion. greatly improve the system
by increa sing its efficiency as a means
OF furnishing accommodations to the
people in times of need and in localities
where adequate banking facilities do
not exist"
The limitation upon the required
amount of capital of banks should in
the judgment of the secretary, be re
duced to S25.000
Much greater part of the estimated
deficiency for the current fiscal year
has already been insured and has been
paid. leaving still In the treasury on
the first day Of December, a balance of
s225, .o9S which, after deducting the
gold reserve, is about S1OO, 100000 more
than IS necessary as permanent fund
TO insure the regular conduct of the or
binary fiscal operations of the govern
ment The fact this money was not
collected by taxation. but was produced
by the issue of bonds, for a purpose
other than the payment of ordinary ex-
penses, does not affect the situation in
the least When the gold secured by
the issue of bonds to replenish the re
serve has been used for the redemption
of notes, the notes redeemed are received
and held as part of the general fund
and must be used for all the
public purposes to which they can be
legally applied The money being act
ually in the treasury, the sole question
is whether it shall be used, when neces-
sary, to defray the expenses of the
government or be held as an idle and
useless fund in order to afford an ap-
parent reason for the imposition OF ad-
ditional taxes upon the people. This
available balance is represented by out
standing bonds bearing interest, and,
as its permanEentreten in the treas
ury can be of no advantage to the gov
eminent or its citizens, no substantial
reason exists why it should not be eX-
pended if required, before our trade
and industries are subjected to new or
increased burdens.
What is most needed at present is
not more taxes, but more economy in
apprCpr iatiOns and expenditures
The great increase in the ordinary
expenditures of the government during
the last seven years has been without
precendent in our history, in time of
peace, and presents a subject which inn
peratively demands the most serious
consideration of congress.
1T does not appear there has been
any such necessary extension or sub
stantial Improvement of our public ser
vice as to justify those enormous in
creases in expenditures, and, in my
opinion, we have reached a situation
which not only fOrbids the favOra bic
consideration of measures calculated to
augment our annual outlay, but which
obviously demands a thorough revis-
ION Of our permanent appropriation
avs and the enforcement of strict econ
Omy in future annual legislation upon
this subject"
Respecting a protective tariff the sec
rotary says:
and constantly decreasing part of our
labOring population that could be af-
fected even by a repeal of all duties,
movement for the imposition Of higher
duties on imported goods cannot be re-
garded as juStiflable upon any OF the
grounds usually urged in support of
such measures by the advocates of the
protective theory"

Kansas City, Dec. 21.-The annual

was held at the Coates house Satur-
day afternoon. The athletic associations
Of all the ENTHUSIASTICALLY the excep-
ton of Iowa, were represented, and
after considerable discussion, 1t was
decided TO drop the HaWkeyes from
the association, at least temporarily,
and the schedule for 1897 was adopted
with only Kansas, Missouri and Ne
braska included.
This action may be modified later. as
it is not known definitely whether
Iowa really intended to withdraw. or
simply failed, through some accident,
to have their representative here The
Hawkeyes Will be given the benefit of
the doubt until heard from. The pen
nant for SO was formerly awarded to
Iowa, which went through the season
without defeat, and without being
scored against Kansas was given sec
Ond place and Nebraska third.
The following officers were elected for
next year; DR.. H Ayers of Missouri,
president: J. p. Cameron of Nebraska,
vice president; r. K. Moody of Kan
sas. secretary treasurer; Fred Cornell
of Lincoln, Neb., was reelected gen
eral manager of the association, as
his work was excellent and impartial
throughout the entire season. There
was some talk of either the state uni
versity Of Illinois or that of Minnesota
taking Iowa S place, should the Hawk
eyes drop out permanently.
The following is the '97 schedule
adopted:
October 3O-NIissouri VS.. Nebraska at
Lincoln.
