Finance Minister Wants Half Bill.

LARGE SUMS TO BE DEVOTED
TO MILITIA REFORMS, EDU-
CATION, SHIP BUILDING

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. S.-The
preliminary budget estimates of the
ministry of finance for the first six
months of 1907 commencing on Jan.
IA, provide $523,415.OOO for regular
expenditures. an increase Of $1S,SO6,-
900 over the same period of 1906. The
greater part of the increase will be
absorbed by the interest on the big
loan of 1906. which increased the total
interest charges from $11.09S.000 to
s94. 100000
The second largest item is an in
crease of $6,7S2.OOO to provide for the
increased manufacture of spirits to
meet the steadily increased consump-
ton.
Other important items in the budget
are $95.O95 900 for the war ministry.
S76,O1S.0OO for the navy. s11S.670,000
for railroads. $33.930. 900 for the min
istry of the interior. $1,000, 900 for the
ministry of justice, and $11,610,O00 for
education.
The estimates for the extraordinary
expenditures, including large sums
which are to be devoted to army re-
form, education. and possibly to naval
construction, have not yet been pub
ltsned. :;
The new estimates do not contem-
plate a deficit in the budget of 1905,
which foresaw d deficit of $4,000, 900.
This and the increased expenditures
for famine relief and other purposes
during the year are covered by an
increase in the revenue over the es-
Inmates. which up to Nov. Is. reached
$1O2, 100000 and was steadily grow
ing.
The government as announced. ex-
poets to retire all its outstanding
short term obligations this month,
but will issue about $25,0O0,0OO anew
in Germany
The constitutionality of the increase
of $1S,S96. 900 in the estimates for
1907 is attacked by the press, because
the constitution provides that the reg
ular budgets must be approved by
parliament and that the provisional
budgets issued in the interim cannot
exceed proportionally those of the
preceding budget.
The government contends that the
increase in the interest charges is
unavoidable. 1t hopes that parlia-
nent will approve the other items.

Mr.. Freeman has followed this prin-
ciple for years, and he is emphatic In
the declaration that 1t pays. Although
his store is almost in the extreme
north part of the city. he enjoys a
prosperous business.
His prices are probably higher than
those of any of the other Outlaying

some of the drug stores in the down
town district. Ten clerks are kept
busy week days.

Enrolment Incomplete When Glasses
Opened This Morning.
PREPARE FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER
EXAMINATIONS TO BEGIN IN NINE
DAYs-PLANs FOR END OF
THE YEAR EXTENSIVE.

Stuffed with turkey and mince pie.
with mothers goodbye kiss still warm
upon their lips. the college girls and
college boys of Whitman returned to-
day from the pleasures of the holidays
to the stern realities of chapel, quizzes
and f1unks.
Glasses began at 8 O'Clock this
morning but with a sadly incomplete
enrolment, and even when chapel
time came it was a very small pro-
portion of the full student body which
listened to the first devotional eXer-
cises of the year 1907.
Most of the students had returned
yesterday because the special holiday
rate on the railroads terminated
then. but some who live near Walla
Waha were reluctant to leave home so'
soon and will take the chance of cut
ting today's classes for the sake of
putting off the deadly grind of study
one day more.
Some have been in Walla Walla all
through the holidays plugging on back
work and trying to catch up the delln-
quencies of semester in the few
short days of vacation time To these,
the regular work will be but play.
Last Semester Begins in February.
Basketball and glee clubs will dis
pute with lessons for the attention of
the college student for the next few
weeks.
The 1907 bunch of college warb-
lers are of the opinion that this year
they have about the finest glee club
in the history of the college and they
propose to take extensive trips for
the combined purpose of advertising
the college and for their own enjoy
ment.
The season will probably be finished
with a big concert in Spokane about
Easter. Howard Cox, manager, and
Calvin Thomas. president of the club,
have been devoting part of their vaca-
ton to arranging an itinerary for the
proposed excursions of the club.
The girls glee club will probably
not join the boys club this year in
concert as they did last year although
this has not as yet been definitely de-
termined Just what the nature of the
second part of the concert program
will be this year is also a secret but
the boys promise something better
than ever before.
Numerous Debates Scheduled.
Debate is another subject which
will take nearly all of the attention
of a small part of the student body.
The first intercollegiate contest
will be with Pacific university in
February.
Just before the Christmas vacation
the coaches transferred Greenslade
from the W. S. c. team to the Pacific
team. The Pacific combination now
consists of wolfe. Greenslade and AL
fred Livengood. which is regarded as
one of the strongest forensic combina-
tons which the missionaries have ever
sent out.
The Webfoot university has elected
to defend the negative of the munich
pal ownership question.
Since the tryout debate the Whit
man team has been riding on the new
Walla Waila street cars and declare
themselves we'll able to uphold the ad
vantages of private ownership.
