THE ZEAL QUESTION:.

U. s. TREAsURER's REPORT.
THE ANNUAL REPORT Of tt

THE ANNUAL REPORT of the
United States treasury reveals
an altogether unprecedented
and abnormal condition in the gov
elnment's finances. The gold re-
serve IN the treasury, which the law
requires shall be not less than $780,
100000, has been swollen to more than
half a billion dollars. or, in exact fig
ures, 1912, So, SOS. This Is the largest
reserve in the history of the country
and, with one exception, a larger
amount than has ever been held I'M
der one control anywhere in the
world.
This condition is the result of no
economy. The expenditures for the
year were in excess of 100000, 900,
a larger outlay than has ever been
made in any one year by the govern
ment, except when wars entailed ex-
tTaordinary expenses. The secretary
of the treasury has also made an
effort to keep down the reserve sur
plus by the redemption of bonds.
All this shows nothing more clear
ly than that the revenues from the
tariff and internal revenues are far
IL excess of the greatest possible de-
mands of an honest administration
of the affairs of the nation. To per-
NIT this condition to continue Is un-
wise for two reasons. 1t renders
useless a large amoVnb of money
that would be valuable to the com
mercial interests Of the country if
kept in circulation. It also acts as a
temptation to reckless extravaganza
on the part of congress, as was clear
ly seen during the last session.
The folly of maintaining the taxes
on a war basis when the war Is over
has already become apparent to
many Of the wiser heads in the Re
publican party. This IS evidenced
by the growing sentiment in the par
ty in favor Of curtailing the rev
enues from the tariff and internal
taxes and thus avoid letting the
question come up IN a national cam
paign. The party viii be guilty of
a grave error if 1t neglects to do so.

REIsER's CIRCULAR.

| Il distributed throughout the
= city, headed, "The Auditor of
Salt Lake City-how he protects the
taxpayers interests" in which Mr.
Reiser, or somebody for him, COM
pares The present system with the
methods in use by his predecessors.
claiming credit for a number of re-
forms instituted during his incum-
bency. In this circular, by referring
to Mr.. Douglas A. Swan as city
auditor, and making partial extracts
from a report made by him to the city
council, he implicitly makes Mr..
Swan responsible for defects exist
ing in the old system, which Is Meth
er just nor honorable, because the
report which Mr.. Swan made called
the attention Of the council to these
very defects, and aimed to remedy
them.
The truth IS that Mr.. Swan held
the Office for three months, at the
close of an administration, filling cut
the mexpired term of his father, the
late George Swan. When he took
charge of tie Office he found MANY
defects in the system in use some
of which his father had previously
presented to the council and asked
for authority to remedy, which au-
thority was never granted.
Mr. Swan pointed out the lack of
a proper system Of accounting be-
tween the various departments and
the auditors Office; and the absence
Of any records which would show the
value of the property owned by the
city, which was absolutely necessary
IN order that a statement of its as
sets and Ga5ilities-its exact fnan-
ciai condition could be made. He
also showed that old accounts. some
of them datirg back TO the first
Liberal" administration, with bal
ances on either side amounting TO
$4,000, remained open on the au-
ditor's books, and could not be
rightfully closed without the action
of the city council.
He recommended.
First-That the council appoint a
committee or commission 10 appraise
the value Of all the property. real
and personal. belonging to the city.
Second--That the auditor be au-
thorized, under the direction of the
finance committee, to thoroughly ex-
anime into, and close the old &C
counts mentioned, and,
Third-That a proper system of /
accounts be instituted In each of the
departments of the city government.
including the auditors Office. And
he outlined a plan of accounts which /
would be suitable for the purpose.

a wedding present the other day, and,

and left instructions to send an ap-

gazed at the array of gifts, and won

In the House.

| Washington, Jan. 20-The House of
| Representatives will devote most of its
attention during the coming week TO
| appropriation bills series of them
District of Columbia, Notifications ma
val, postoffice and agriculture, being
ready for consideration.
AT the outset, however, there will be
day or two given to other measures
having right of way The army reor-
ganization bill will be reported back
promptly from the committee on mill
tary affairs, probably tomorrow, and
sent to conference with general disa-
Rreement to all Senate amendments. IT
may be reported back during the Iat-
ter part Of the week and a sharp con-
test is promised, Mr.. Richardson. of
Tennessee, the minority leader, having
intimated that there will be discus
sion of each paragraph.
The District Of Columbia is entitled
to tomorrow and will seek to hold the
day for the consideration of local meas
ures. The bulky postal codification bill
also is before the House as a continu-
ing order and will require much of the
time not given to appropriation bills.
Efforts are making to have the bill to
promote the efficiency of the revenue
cutter service made a special order for
Tuesday
The appropriation bills above referred
to will consume the time during the
rest OF the week, except Friday, which
is private pension day. and Saturday,
when eulogies to the memory of the
late Senator Gear, of Iowa, will be pro-
nounced.

FORECAST OF CONGRESS.
The Business TO Come Before Both
branches This Week.

Washington, Ian. z0.-The senate will
take up the legislative executive ant
judicial appropriation bill Monday a!
soon as possible after converting. There
is little in the bill that ordinarily would
create debate but it does not seem i'm
probable that several days may be re-
quired to act on 1t because of the desire
on the part of some senators to post
pone consideration of the ship subsidy
bill as long as possible The shipping
bill will be made the unfinished business
whenever in the opinion of the friends
of that measure 1t is wise to give it that
place. but in view of the fact that it
will be displaced by appropriation bills
whenever senators in charge of those
measures desire to take them up, it is
probable that the motion to give the
bill the place of vantage will be post
poned until after the disposition of the
legislative bill.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the f.
nance committee, probably will report
the war revenue reduction bill Monday
or Tuesday, and he will ask immediate
consideration for that measure The
rules of the senate give preference to
revenue bills as they do to appropria-
ton bills. and no order Of the senate
will be necessary to make a place for
that bill. 1t Is not probable that any
effort will be made to displace appro-
priation bills with that measure, but all
senators seem united in the opinion
that it necessarily must become a law
during the session, and if there should
be al occasion when it would be neces-
sary to decide between it and some bill
other than an appropriation bill, the
preference almost certainly would be
given to the revenue bill. The present
impression, however. is that this bill
Will soon be disposed of. Democratic
senators probably will make an effort
to secure additional reductions, but fail
ing in this. will vote for the bill
The pension and military academy
appropriation bills also are on the call
endar, and will receive early attention.
The Indian appropriation bill will be re-
ported early in the week. but will not
be pressed.
Senator Morgan has not indicated his
purpose with reference to the Nicara-
qua canal bill, but his friends say that
he will delay a reasonable time. and
that K England does not act upon the
amendments TO the -Pauncefote
treaty, he then will move consideration
Of the canal bill.
Renewed efforts will be made Monday
or Tuesday in executive session to So
cure the confirmation of J. s. Harlan
as attorney general for Porto Rico and
also to secure ratification of the treaty
with Spain FOR the cession of the re-
mainding islands Of the Philippine
