0oO. 600 more than II ordinarily would, on
account OF the war.
How to Raise the Money

0oo. 600 more than II ordinarily would, on
account OF the war.
How to Raise the Money.
Mr.. Jones. continuing. said that how
ever these things were understood, the
total amount could not reach 500, 900, 900
for the next fiscal year. but he was will
ing for the sake of argument to grant
that amount. The question now before
US is how shall we raise this money We
certainly do not need TO raise the full
amount to carry on the war for a year
when that war may not last three
months.
Senator Aldrich asked Mr.. Jones how
much he was willing TO raise by taxation
TO which the latter replied that he was
willing that the amount be S150, 600, 900,
but he would rather make the amount
more than TO issue bonds He thought
it better to pay our debts as we went
along, especially as the bonds would bear
interest.
Senator White of California then took
the floor to speak on the bill.
The Stamp Tax.
Mr.. White presented figures showing
the revenue derived from past tariff bills.
He said it was manifest that the present
tariff law would, at the end of the year.
leave US at least 81. 900. coo behind what we
should supply.
The first reading of the bill was then
begun. :.
Section 2 relating to the tax on cigars,
tobacco, cigarettes. and snuff, was passed
over.
Section 8. relating TO tobacco dealers
and manufacturers, was also passed over.
When the section in reference to stamp
ing deeds, instruments, documents. etc.
was reached Senator Allen maintained
that il was not right 10 indIct a man and
punish him for emitting 10 afiix an ad-
hesive stamp when he did il in ignorance
of the Law. He held that every man
should be at once compelled to purchase
a stamp. and If he was willfully guilty
he ought 10 be punished. He declared
that il was the object OF the bill to raise
revenue and not to get people into trouble.
The section was amended by inserting
the words. with intent TO violate this
act"
AT the hour of o'clock the Senate
suspended further business on the war
revenue bill, and eulogies were offered to
the memory of the Hon. Seth NJ. Mllil1en,
late member of Congress from the State
of Maine.

spec5aI Council Nec,i,,

Alexandria, May IA special meeting
of the city council was held tonight at
the instance of Mayor George Simpson.
relative to the proposed repaving of King
Street. The mayor called attention to
the fact that while apparently the terms
of the new thirty-third section of the city
charter, under which the proposed i'm
provement will be made, had been carried
out, it was the opinion of Corporation At
torney Bocthe that the action of the COM
mittee on streets in summoning the
King Street property owners before them
should have been authorized by an
ordinance of the city council. The records
failed to show that such action had been
taken by the council. Mr. Smith. from
the committee on streets, presented an
ordinance in compliance with the sugges-
ton of the corporation attorney, which
was unanimously adopted
