We're, approximately. nine million dollars
less than the receipts from the same
source for a corresponding portion of last
year. Should this decrease continue at
the same ratio throughout the fiscal
approximately. thirty million dollars.
Should the revenue from customs suffer
much further decrease during the fiscal
year, the surplus would vanish. A large
surplus is certainly undesirable. Two
years ago the war taxes were taken off
with the express intention of equalizing
the government receipts and expenditures.
and though the first year thereafter still
showed surplus, IL now seems likely
that a substantial equality of revenue
and expenditure will be attained Such
being the case it is of great moment both
to exercise care and economy in appro-
priations. and 10 sean sharply any change
in our fiscal revenue system which may
reduce our income. The need of strict
economy in our expenditures is empha-
sized by the fact that We can not afford
to be parsinoaious in providing for what
is essential 10 our national well-being.
Careful economy wherever possible Will
alone prevent our income from falling

Some Of the dispatches from Repub-
lican headquarters express surprise
over the fact that the First district
did not make better showing than it
did for the Republican ticket. We
fail to see why there should be any
wonder Whatever. There was appar.
emily during the entire campaign little
concern on part of the state campaign
managers rs to what sort of support this
part of the state gave the Republican
ticket. This district is a Democratic
stronghold, and if there is any virtue
in public speaking as a vote getter,
certainly a better field for operation
could not have been found than this
district. Yet only two speakers were
sent to Paducah during the campaign,
and 1t is likely other parts of the dis
trict Jared equally as badly.
