the executive and legislative branches
of the government and the reorganiza-
tion thereof now in progress. He voices
the hope that there will be constant
progress away from the extreme dis
organization of the past" and observes
that "ewen if our; country is rich it can
not afford to be wholly unscientific in
its appropriations"
Probably the most important recon-
mendation made by the secretary is
that the tax on bank circulation se-
cured by United States bonds here
after deposited bearing interest higher
than Q per cent shall be increased in
exact proportion to the increase in the
rate of interest above per cent. He
advises continuance Of the rate of
one-half OF i per cent for circulation
based on . pei. cent bonds. MIR. Mac
Veagh says that if the Panama bonds
authorized by the LAW of Aug. 5, 1909,
should be issued at per cent, they
would have much better circulation
privilege than the outstanding per
cents, the tax being only per cent.
MIR. MacVeagh would make the tax
on them 1h per cent; otherwise the al
ready low market value of the 2 per
cents would unduly decline.
Panama Canal Bonds.
At the same time, Mr.. Macveagh
says 1t is desirable to complete the
legislation respecting the new Panama
bonds to make them available SO as to
begin the settlement Of the indebted
ness to the general fund of the treas
liry Of the Panama canal. He suggests
that il the sale Of any Of those bonds
should produce more Scash than the

veagh says 1t possibly would have
been better never to have issued Q per

the governments borrowing power In
the open market. He says that as a
basis for circulation they have no
elasticity: that they are practically all

Washington, Dec. 7.-Retrenchment
Is the keynote in the estimates of ex-
pendltures for the executive depart
ments of the government for the fs-
cal year 1911, embodied in the an
nual report of Franklin MacVeagh as
secretary of the treasury, made pub
lie today. This is in line with Presi-
dent Taft's declared policy of greater
economy in administering the affairs
of the government.
1.-THE toral estimates for 1911 are
$6s4,132,197. including the naval build
ing program. Excluding the increase
In the Panama canal estimates, the to-
tai estimates for 1911 show a decrease
of $57,244.4sS.s9 under the appropria-
tions for 1910. Including the increase
in the Panama canal estimates, the. to-
tai estimates for 1911 show a decrease
of $42,S18,969.19 under the appropri-
ations for 1910. The ordinary esti-
mated receipts for the current year are
S64S,000,000 and for the ordinary dis
bursements at s6S2,075,620, leaving a
deficit in ordinary receipts of S34,075,-
$40. When the payments on account
Of the Panama canal and the public
debt are added, the total deficit of the
fiscal year 1910 is estimated at $73,-
075,620.12. The estimated ordinary
receipts for 1911 are s672,O00,OO0, and
the estimated ordinary appropriations
s636,06S,672.51, or surplus in ordin-
ary receipts Of S35,s31. .s2k4s. When the
Panama canal estimates for 1911 are
added the surplus is turned into de-
ficit Of $12,132,1 1921.
Secretary Macveagh, emphasizing
the hard rigidity of the present rev.
enue system, with its recurrent eco
nomical agitations and its long inter-
walls of fxity," says it will be neces-
sary to meet these deficits to sell either
bonds .or certificates of indebtedness.
In due course" he adds, "it would
seem that 1t must be made practicable
to both estimate receipts, with close
approximation to the actual, and to
provide for their annual rise or fall
by some flexible factors in our annual
taxation"

Winslow Notes.
From The Mail.

The promises made by Mana ger Code and Coach King of the local football team have been full filled to the satisfaction of all.
 In the initial game with Will liams the home lads did themsel- yes proud. Many of them had never been mixed up before, but they handled themselves like old timers after the first half E.
 The second half found our boys were at home on the grid'ron, the game being played almost entire ly on the local boys territory.
 The halves were played in twenty and twenty-five minutes, and the gains were made by the line bucks of Joe Daze, support ed by Reynolds on the line and the halves and quarter. Joe Daze played star game behind the line, his college training standing him well in hand. Reynolds was a surprise to everyone, his work on the defensive showed he has makings of one of the best in him. Foster and Clark both showed fine work and made showing gains in both halves.
 The team is a credit to this city, and should receive better support from the lovers oi clean, wholesome sport. Man. ager Code and Coach King both expressed themselves as well pleased with the way the boys handled themselves. "The only ting l can't understand" said King to a Mail representative when informed that the boys won by a score of 21 to 6, lis how i'll the devil the locals let them get away with that G."
 Code and King have been ac tive Tn behalf of this sport, giv. en their valuable time, gratis, tc instruct the boys and make them good players. But the citizens 1T general, have shown very little appreciation as yet. Let us hope there will be a larger crowd al the next game.

Form Organization

The National Indian War Vet erans, an organization formed in Denver. Colorado, has for its ob. ject, to obtain pensions for all those who, while serving the Government, contributed their share to open for peaceful settle ment this great Western country.
 The men as a rule are old and feeble, by reason of endured hard ships and privations, unable to perform manual labor and on ac- count of age barred from obtain ing suitable employment.
 A Government which through Its liberality to its veterans of other wars, to its educationalin- stitutions and it's farmers, ranks as the very first in the civilized world. should surely not hesitate to give to this limited number o surviving Indian War Veterans enough to allow them at least a living for their few remaining days.
 These men spent some of the best years of their lives in their country's service, opening up this great western empire, fighting under such noted leaders as Gus ter. Merritt, Crook. Miles, For syth. Mckenzie and others, and should in their last days receive government recognition.
 We request all those eligible to membership in this organization to at once send in the!r applicat ion to the National Secretary and Treasurer, C. R. Hauser, 16- 43 Market St., Denver, Colorado where they will receive further information.
