Uncle SAM s dscaI condition does not
improve with the rapidity which would
give entire satisfaction to the Treasury
officials. While they are hoping TO
avoid the issue of certificates of indebt-
edness to enable the Government to get
along in the payment Of its current ex-
penses. the outlook is not of the
brightest.
In the month Of October. thus far, the
Treasury has run s540O.175 behind. This
is on ordinary receipts and disburse-
ments. The excess Of all disbursements
over all receipts for the month thus far
has been s.. 1854

GOVERNMENT BUYS
A BAKER ELECTRIC
Express Wagon Will Be
Used for White House
Mails.

President Taft is a firm believer in the
utility of the motor car, and is gradually
acquiring a notable collection of cars.
The latest addition 10 the White HOUSE
garage is Baker electric express
wagon. the sale of the v, ,hicle to the
Government being made by the Cook &
Stoddard Company, local agents for the
Baker. This makes the second Baker
to be sold to the White House, the
first one being an electric victoria,
which was purchased for the personal
use of Mrs. Taft.
The Baker express wagon will be put
to varied uses, but its chief function
viii be to carry the White House mails
1t viii also be used to convey baggage
to the station whenever the President
or any member',f his family travels.
The machine has a capacity Of 1000
pounds, and has wheeIbase Of ninety
two inches, with a fifty-six-inch wheel
tread. The frame is Of pressed steel
and semi-elliptic springs are used In
the front and rear. The motor is 31k-
horsepower, series wound. with 300 per
cent overload capacity A forty-two-
( cell EXide battery is used.
Iransmission is by means Of a Renold
silent Grain from the motor to the
/ counterskaft, and is oil and dust proof
encased with a double chain from the
! countershaft to the rear wheels. Tim
ken roller bearings are used in the
front and rear wheels, and imported
annular bearings in the motor and
COuntCrshaft
The machine is handsomely finished,

BEHIND
IN MONEY MATTERS
Treasury Has Run $5,4OO,l75 Below Ordinary Re
ceipts and Disbursements Officials Hope to Avoid
Issue of Certificates of Indebtedness.

ceipts have been about S5,050,005 heavier.
But the swollen expenditures, result
ing from enormous appropriations by
Congress, have largely eaten up the
Increase. Thus. while all receipts for
the fiscal year are about 81, ,000, 900
heavier than for the same period last
year, the expenditures have been about
S1A000,000 heavier. In other words.
Uncle Sam is in the position Of man
who is making more money and is also
spending more and is not making as
rapid headway as he ought in having
his income meet his expenses.
Meantime. the working balance OF The
Treasury is at low ebb, about $4,000, coo.
The Government balance in banks is
down to S37,G00O00. and the total bal
ance ia the general fund is SIS, 600, COO
These figures are unusually low.

Treasury Officials Are Ex-
pecting Stormy
Fights.
RETURNING BLANKS
CLOSELY STUDIED
Department Proceeding Cautiously
With Reports Being
Received.

Treasury officials are in no manner
OF doubt that the corporation tax VIII
be attacked right and left by the big
corporations at the first excuse which
Is offered.
They have been given TO understand
that large corporate interests are al
ready planning on assailing the Law and
endeavoring TO get it knocked out in
the courts if possible Uncle Sam VIII
get many millions of dollars into his
Golfers next June as the result OF The
tax. but no one can guess how long he
viii be allowed TO keep it there.
Il viii. of course, be impossible to
enjoin the collection of the tax and pre-
sumably the attacks on the law will
come in the form of suits for recovery
Of corporation taxes which have been
paid. As it will take a good many
months TO thresh the controversy
through the Supreme Court of the
United States. the Government will
have the use OF the money long enough
10 enable il TO tide over at least some
part Of the period Of stringency from
which il is suffering.
Work on the preparation Of the blanks
on which the returns from the various
corporations win be made to the Treas
ury Department is proceeding slowly
and cautiously. The Treasury officials
are giving these blanks the most care
ful study. Secretary MacVeagh As
sistant Secretary HiIles, Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner CabeH, and various
expert lawyers who know the ins ana
outs OF questions pertaining to inter
nal revenue are going over all the prob
lens connected with these blanks prob
ably with closer attention than has
been given the matter OF the collection
of any tax the Government has levied
for years.
The reason this is so is that it is fully
understood by the Treasury officials
that the tax is to be assaiIed al the
first opportunity They do not want il
10 be attacked because Of any mistake
In the preparation Of the blanks They
want the corporations to have no
handle with relation TO the reports de-
manded by the Treasury Department
on which the corporations can seize. In
other words, they expect the law TO be
attacked, but they want a sQuare-out
assault TO be made on the constitution
ality of the law and not on any phase
of the administration OF the law.
Not much question is entertained here
that the law viii be attacked on the
ground that il is an income tax within
the meaning OF the Constitution and not
an excise tax, despite the fact il is
called an excise tax. One of the pos
that IL viii enable the Supreme Court 90
pass anew on the income tax question
and. perhaps, reverse itself.
Secretary MacNeagh is giving close
attention TO the corporation tax ques-
tton personally. He Is much interested
in having the Treasury Department
make no errors in d legal way in the
administration of the measure.

Two weeks ago the News gave to

General Manager Mackenzie and
Secretary Howe returned to Goldtield

"The discovery of a new ore body
ii exceeding richness has been made
on the Combination No. claim, due
north Of the Combination mill and
about the center of the Combination
property. 1t is in ground that has
hitherto been uneXplOred, and the

a chance of getting there across 700
feet of virgin ground. We have

places the ore body is thirty feet
wide. General Manager Mackenzie
says that the discovery will not only
take rank with that of the Hayes

to that Of the Hayes Monette and not
