YOUR UNCLE JOE
VERY sANCUINE
Doesn't Think Any Sort Of Reve-
hue Legislation Will Be
Necessary.
"Lo0k AT BALANCE SHEETS
Speaker Has Tariff Talk With
President and Says FIe is
Yet a Stand Patter.'

(By Associated Press.)
S WASHINGTON, ID. c., November TO-
Among the subjects discussed by the
President with some OF his callers to-day
was the probably condition OF the treas
ury at the end OF the current fiscal year.
1t Is the consensus OF opinion among sem
ntors and representatives who have talked
TO the President about the matter that
the deficit In the treasury this year, X
any at all should appear, will be small.
They point to the Increased revenues of
the treasury during the past three or four
months as an Indication despite tho
somewhat increased expenditures, that no
alarming deficit is likely. A small deficit
would cause no apprehension In the
minds OF congressman, but many of them
believe now that practically no deficit will
be shown at the end OF the yenr.
Speaker Cannon had n conference with
the Pres ident to-day. The nature OF
their talk he did not disclose On the tar
III revision question Mr.. Cannon indicated
that he yet Is Il stand-patter. If, said
he, "a tnriff bill should be brought under
consideration, and we should proceed for
Twelve months or so with Its discussion.
and then its friends should command the
votes necessary to enact 1t into law and
then the business Interests should sue
coed In adjusting themselves to the new
conditions, 1t probably would be found
that the new measure contained as many
'outrages' and .injustices' as the present
law, contains.
DO you think any sort Of revenue legis-
laton will be necessary at the approach
ing session to provide for possible de-
felt In the treasury?'
Look at the balance sheets of the
treasury replied Mr.. Cannon. Look at
the balance sheets They tell the story;
they answer your question. We have a
pretty comfortable surplus, don't you
