Deficit Is Growing.

A high financial authority, thorough
ly familiar with the workings of the
treasury department, said: THE deficit
for January will reach to pretty nearly
$20,000,000. That sum will push the
deficit for the fiscal year up to about
100000, 900, and l think it will amount
to near $7O,OO0,OOO within the follow
ing month or six weeks. l do not think
it will grow much more during the rest
Of this fiscal year."

to the business depression, and eX-
pressed belief that 1.-The rainbow of
promise is appearing in the sky" He

tention and strong plea was made for
Interchangeable mileage books of $500
miles; but he opposed general reduc-

would have the effect of concentrating
business in the larger places and would
depress real estate and ruin the mer-
chants in the smaller towns, at the
same time robbing the country trav-
eler of his position.
