TREASURY DEFICIT
S5,453,955 IN MAY

Washington. June 2.-The treasury
deficit for May, as shown by yesteT-
days statement, is S5,453 955 and for
eleven months of the current fiscal
year of $97,S5S.102. The available
cash balance is s11S,979, 764, the work
ing balance $40.329,00O The total
receipts for May were S53,332, $40.
d sbursements $5S, 1856 265.
This showing is much more favora-
bic than was expected by officials as
late as thee months ago and indicates
that the deficit for the full fiscal year
will fall considerably short of the Off
cial estimate of $112,000,000. The
working balance is not, however. re
gasded as fully adequate to the prob
able needs of the treasury for any
considerable length OF time, and while
the necessity for additional cash is
not pressing, it IS believed the Off
cials viii take advantage Of the pres
ent easy money conditions throughout
the country by calling on the national

treasury of a considerable part of
their holdings. These banks now

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May 27.-By decisive
vote Of 50 to SO, the senate decided
to postpone until June 10, further con-
sideration of the income tax question
in connection with the tariff.
Consideration Of the sugar schedule
was continued, but after two amend
ments to 1t were voted upon the sen
ate switched off to a discussion OF the
possibility of getting vote on the
possibility of getting a vote on the
Bailey income tax amendment. Mr..
Bailey presented his argument for a
vote in his usual forcible manner, but
did not succeed in prevailing upon
Mr.. Aldrich to concede the vote in
advance of the tariff schedule. Mr.
Aldrich declared he would not agree
to vote on the income tax in ad-
vance of the schedules so long as he
was in charge of the bill.
Two amendments to the sugar
schedule on which votes were taken
were those eliminating the Dutch
Standard test from the tariff schedule
and lowering the duty on refined SUI
gar from 100 cents per pound to
1922 cents per pound. Both were
defeated, the former SO to At and the
latter 80 to SO. On the first vote II
republicans voted with the democrats
for the amendment but on the second
only five republicans broke ranks. It
was considered somewhat significant
that the two louisiana senators, Fos-
ter and McEnery, the only senators
representing the sugar cane producing
state should have been the only demo
Gratis to vote with theArepubIicans on
the Dutch Standard provision, and
this was made the more significant be-
cause of the fact that yesterday for
the first time the possibility of a
sharp conflict between the can sugar
and beet suga interests was indi.
Gated.

A Fable.

Once there was a gander who was
fond of cheese. In the place where
the gander was there was large
piece of cheese which belonged 10
the gander. The only question was
whether OF not to eat the cheese.
If I should trust myself to open
my mouth and eat this cheese said
he gander, Il might be making a
mistake How can l know that
ought to eat the cheese? How can
be sure that it is wise to eat the
cheese?"
With these considerations the gan
der was much troubled, and stood
looking longingly at the cheese. until
a fox came up and inquired about the
gander's trouble.
Trust you! self in a question so in
timately conce ming your welfare and
future happiness!" exclaimed the fox,
when he had heard the gander's
trouble, Il should sev not! What You
need is a representative; somebody
to look after your interests and 10
volving the consumption of cheese. If
you will kindly adopt this ring which
will put around your bill, and these
iron clamps which l will slip upon
your legs. you win be perfectly safe.
There will be no danger of your do
ing anything unwise for yourself"
At this proposal the gander was de-
lighted, and, with warm expressions
of THANKS. assisted in putting the
clamps upon it's legs and the ring
around its bill.
This" said the fox, will afford
YOU ample opportunity to wait for
your second thoughts on anything
you may think you want to dc.
Whereupon the fox sat down and
proceeded to eat the cheese.
4 am sure" said he, that this
will be for the wider interests Of the
whole. community"

struction viii 90 more for the Pacific
northwest than for any other part Of

Mr.. Hill said the Pacific coast has
participated in foreign commerce
more extensively than its population
or its wealth would suggest and gave
statistics concerning the same. Con-
tinuing, he said:
Measured by its linear extent, it's
continental relations, It's situation
with reference to the carrying trade,
and its position upon the ocean where
the worlds future will probably wit
ness stupendous changes, it's re-
sources. its production and its com
merce are substantial elements in
national greatness and national prom
Use. No less weighty should be its
contribution TO the formation Of ma
tionai ideals, the shaping of national
ambitions, che direction Of national
policies.
''The first and most imperative
word, need hardly say, one which
the country has come to hear with
much respect and nct ? little fear as
to its future, is conservation From
California northward TO the extreme
of Alaska there are today probably
more unimapired natural resources
than in all the rest OF the country.
You still possess the principal supply
of timber IN the United States"
Mr. Hill emphasized the necessity of
forest conservation, care Of the soil,
preservation of the fisheries, conser.
walton of natural resources, and said:
The exhibition of your intelligence
