BIG INCREASE IN REVENUE
DISTRICT RECEIPTS SWELLED
OVER HALF MILLION.
Officials Jubilant Over Financial
Statement for the Fiscal
Year Just Closed.

Most prosperous from g. financial point
of view in the history Of the District gov
ernment has been the fiscal year ended
yesterday District officials made this an
nouncement with jubilation today.
At the close of business yesterday aft
ernoon, according to a report submitted
by Collector G. c. Rogers to Commission
er West this morning, the receipts of the
District government aggregated $6,O4S.
314.S4Ean actual increase of $685.. .S65. 81
in actual revenues over the previous year.
With this amount as a basis the Com
missioners, when they prepare their es-
Inmates. will be able under the new law
to frame a budget of $4,000, ,OO0-an
amount nearly 100000 in excess of the
appropriations for the fiscal year which
began today.
Ii the expenses for next year should be
kept within the amount to be expended
during this year. the Commissioners
would be enabled to pay in twelve months
one-half of the entire debt due to the
United States government for advances
for extraordinary Improvements. which
debt is in round numbers about $1,000 600
The principal items of revenue as shown
by Collector Rogers statement. are as
follows:
Real estate. 81, ,145. III; Personal taxes,
S93l ,013 Is: licenses, miscellaneous re-
ceipts, etc, s93o, o,5l2.2l; penalties on real
estate and personal tax, $41, ,34S.45; total,
$5,O4S, ,3li.S4.
By making repayments to the United
States Treasury before j o'clock yester-
day afternoon of all the unexpended bal
ances of appropriations, which work was
done by energetic effort on the part of the
financial offices of the District, a saving
Of 5000 in interest was accomplished.
The record made by the financial de-
sioner West in speaking of the business
status of the local government, lis one
that | do not believe will be exeelled and
possibly not equaled by any city in the
country. The fidelity with which the reve-
nues have been collected and the care
with which they have been disbursed
makes a record of which any municipality
can we'll be proud. There are today upon
our tax books less arrears of real estate
taxes than ever before known, while the
amount remaining unpaid on the personal
tax accounts is less than ever before,
while the receipts from personal taxes
have reached a hitherto unprecedented
sum of nearly $3.50, 600. an increase OF
S1O9, 600 over last year. While the increase
in revenues is due in some degree to the
new assessment, the fact is that the
amount obtainable from this cause is only
$sGO,UO while the excess receipt of $3.50
UUO shows that the effort to make collec-
tions from every other branch of revenue
has been prosecuted with unusual sue
cess. The Commissioners can go before
Congress next year with budget which
will amply take care of all our expenses
without allowing the latter to exceed the
receipts.

ton will be found against the amend
ment when it reached their own states'
and in making this charge aroused Mr.:
| Flint of the finance committee. who SAID
that he would favor the amendment in
California. The California senator eX-
pressed confidence that the amendment
would carry. and also predicted that the
corporation tax would not be repealed, as
Mr.. Aldrich had prophesied.
'The faith of the California senator is
sublime" remarked Mr.. Borah. Proceed
| ing, he declared that the people would
have nothing to do with the disposal or
either question. as everything would be
| left to Mr.. Aldrich, who had shown HIM
self strong enough to prevent the enact
| ment of an income tax law when tnere
/ was a ma ajority in the Senate for that
| tax. Declaring that he had no quarrel
with Mr. Aldrich, he said: II admire his
| open. candid and sometimes almost bru-
| tai way but his quarrel was with the
men WHO professed to favor an income
tax and still were following the Rhode
Island senator.
Bourne for Amendment.
Mr. Borah was followed by Mr. Bourne
of Oregon, who spoke in support of the
corporation tax amendment. He pre-
dicted that the enactment of the amend
ment into law would result in the public
ity of corporate affairs, and eventually
be of much advantage to the public. The
question of revenue, he said, was second
ary to the other benefits that would ac-
crue from the amendment.
Explained by Root.
Senator Root, champion of the admin
istration, and one of the authors of the
amendment, followed Senator Bourne.
He told of the origin of the corporation
amendment, saying the first draft was
made by the Attorney General in compli-
| ance with a request by the President.
This draft, in the handwriting of the At
torney General and interlined by the
| President himself, was sent to the ways
and means committee, he said That
! committee had preferred the inheritance
! tax, hut when the Senate finance COM
mittee struck 1t out the corporation tax
amendment had been slightly amended
| and brought forth again.
Gentlemen may say am for corpo-
| ration tax to beat the income tan said
Mr. Root. Il am for the corporation tax
| because | think it is better policy, better
pa atriotiSm and higher wisdom than the
general income tax at this time and under
these circumstances. / wish TO beat the
income tax provision because ! think it
is unwise, and wish to pass a corporation
tax provision because l think it is wise"
Believes Supreme Court Erred.
Senator Root surprised some of the sem
ators by declaring that in his opinion
the decision of the Supreme Court in the
income tax case was erroneous, and that
the weight of argument with the
dissenting opinion in that case. He also
avowed his advocacy of the general
| theory Of the income tax.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 1.-Orders
were today issued to the military depart
ment of the Caucasus to prepare troops
for the Russian expedition into Teheran,
the capital of Persia. The vessels neces-
sary to transport the expedition were as
sembled at Baku, whence the troops will
be taken to EnZeli, on the Caspian sea.
Everything is to be in readiness in case
further advances on the part of the
Bakhtiari tribesmen and the kasbin rev.
Persia necessary.
A collision between the Bakhtiaris and
the Cossacks, under the command of Gen.
Liakhoff, the military governor of Te-
heran, is likely to occur any day. Ac-
cording to official information Gen. Liak-
hoff has at his disposal only $50 men, in
stead of 1,20O men, the nominal strength
of his brigade. The companies are not
recruited to their full strength and some
detachments are absent.
Purpose to Protect Russians.
In addition to protecting the lives OF
Russian subjects at Teheran. the Russian
government is determined at all costs to
keep open the highway between Enzeli
property and the principal artery for
Russian trade. which already has suf-
fered from the losses as result of the
Persian disorders.
The Persian government, which a few
days ago demanded the withdrawal OF
the Russian troops now in Persia, seems
to have changed it's attitude. Today it is
anxious that the Russian soldiers remain
TO fight the Bakhtiaris.
1t is believed here that Great Britain
will make no objection to the Teheran
expedition. The final decision will be
taken only after agreement with the
British government.

Teheran dated June 30 says the harem
of the shah has been transferred to a
