TREASURY DEFICIT

The increasing deficit in the United States
treasury has begun to attract widespread atten-
ton. Both Secretary of State Taft and Secretary
OF the Treasury Shaw have discussed the ques-
ton in public speeches. The secretary of state
rather favors tariff revision, whereas the secre-
tary Of the treasury is utterly opposed to any
stampering with the tariff" and advocates an
increased internal revenue. The Boston Herald
states the condition of the treasury as follows:

eminent finances to show marked improve

lures. Up to Friday the outgo had been

may say that at this time last year the month
Of May showed an excess Of expenditures of
more than $44,000000, statement which is
