TREASURY DEFICIT
ALARMS THE HOUSE
Various Suggestions Made
to Increase Revenue to
Desired Figure.

Instead of waiting until the extra ses-
sion of Congress. members Of the
House on both sides of the chamber
have already begun to make speeches
ON the best means of raising revenues
Tor the purpose of meeting the ever-in-
,reasing expenditures of the Govern
ment. The prediction has been made on
The Democratic side of the chamber.

Jority, that before the new tariff bill is

over the present financial condition of
the country at large. His investiga-
tiOns are not confined TO the funds real
ized by the Treasury Department from
The impOrtations into this country. He
has been watching the stock market
Ike a hawk The manner in which
prices have been falling off during the
last few days mean but one thing, in
the mind of Mr.. Clark, namely, pre-
liminary sign of a panic which is 10 fol-
low.
TO hold that calamity in allegiance
Mr.. Clarke believes three courses are
open to Congress. The first is to make
=. very material reduction in all Of the
appropriation bills. The second is to
increase the revenues by means of re-
duction of the tariff all along the line,
so that instead Of a protective tariff
the country will have a revenue tariff.
The third is a bond issue.
This last is the least desirable. &C
COrding 10 Mr.. CIark's views. In fact,
he is SO SkeptiCal about its success that
he entertains the belief that instead Of
helping the country, il will precipitate
the very panic which Congress should
avoid. Another proposition which is
not fathered by Mr.. Clark, but which

Gratis, IS a stamp and income tax.
Their argument, of course, viii be the
familiar one that q man Who can afford

SINCtKEST PRAISE
FOR EDWIN BOOTH

One Of the most candid tributes the
late Edwin Booth ever received was
rendered to him on his last Southern
tour by one who knew neither OF his
presence nor of his identity in the
play. Mr.. Booth told the story TO his
friend. DR.. John II. Girdner
"We opened our engagement in At
lanta, Ga. with 'Othello,'" said Mr..
Booth, 'and I played Othello. After
the performance my friend, Mr. Ma

featuring enterprises, 1t Is pointed out
that this has reference to private in

Public Enterprise.
The building of an auditorium being in
every way a public enterprise, invest

public's interest for which the Chamber
is organized and, therefore. advocates
or the move say. no amendment to the
constitution is necessary in order to
empower the director to purchase the

1t seems certain that this view viii be
taken by all the directors. if the matter

from members Of the Chamber who will

an amendment to the constitution.
II the opposition develops formidable
strength, it is generally believed the

Members Will Discuss, on
Tuesday, Directors Plan
To Help Auditorium.

A lively contest is expected at the
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday night, following the decision of
the directors TO invest $1,000 Of the
chambers funds in the National Audi
torium Company. A committee was ap-
pointed by President William F. GUIDE
TO confer with the projectors Of the audi
torium company relative to the pur-
chase Of stock in that concern.
The controversy will center in the
question OF whether the directors have
the right TO invest the chambers money
In public enterprise, when the con-
stitution of the chamber does not spe-
cifically give them authority TO do so
While the consensus Of opinion of the
directors is that they have this right

ree%ers' meeting by d. J. Callahan.
Practically every member Of the board
spoke upon the subject, touching upon
the particular Phase Of whether, under
the constitution, the investment can be
made.
While the opinions advanced showed
some dieffrence Of view. the speakers
agreed that the board has. at present,
all the power it needs to make invest
ments in public concerns. When the
resolution was put to a vote, it car
ried unanimously.
The decision of the directors was the
general topic of conversation among
members of the chamber today. The
opinion was advanced by number of
members that the board had exceeded
its authority in passing the resolution.
PRESIDENT GUIDE defended the action of
the directors.
GUIDE Favors Move.
Il think they have the right 10 invest
the Chambers money in an enterprise
such as national auditorium, since the
benefits to be derived from II cannot
be doubted" Mr.. GUIDE said THE
proposition is entirely distinct from that
OF making an investment in a private
concern, such as a manufacturing plant,
where the benefits. though great. could
not be as general as those arising from
the building of an auditorium
The Chamber was organized for fur
