WASHINGTON, April -(SpeciaD-
The approaching necessity of forcing
war time taxes on the people to offset
the annual $12O.0)O,OO0 deficit in the
national finances, is directing atten-
| ton in a striking manner to the ex-
| travagance of the last three republican
administrations.
| Uncle Sans distressed treasury is
! now considered by both parties to be
the biggest and most serious question
before the American people. Along
with the effects of the tariff it is GER
| tain to be the absorbing issue in the
congressional elections Of 1911. The
republican leaders are practically with
out material to meet charges of gross
wastefulness in the conducting Of the
government machinery. and it may be
said without contradiction they have a
wholesome fear of the outcome of a
campaign involving such issues as they
must prepare to face.
The government is spending more
| money than in any period of it's his
| tory when not actually engaged in
war And under the estimates already
arranged for the Taft administration,
| the money-spending campaign promises
to reach higher mark than during
deficit was the largest ever faced by
| the government.
| A reign of WaStefulness started in
with the day Grover Cleveland turned
over the administration to his sue
cessor, William Mckinley. Figures
tell story so momentous it is almost
impossible to fully comprehend. The
| aggregate appropriations of the last
| Cleveland administration, in the fiscal
years 1893 to 1897, were $1,574, 105, OF
The aggregate appropriations for the
last Roosevelt term, taking in the fis-
cal years 1907 to 1910, amounted to
$3,214,993, 1887, or more than twice
the sum required to run the govern
ment during the Cleveland administra-
ton.
The expenses of no nation on earth
ever increased at such a ratio. One of
| Cleveland's early problems was to pre-
vent a huge annual surplus. In adj
dition to a deficit of $12O.OO0,000 for the
present fiscal year, the deficit for the
next fiscal year promises to be $134,-
100000.

the story of progress in republican ex-
travagance:

CHAMP CLARK DIRECTS ATTEN.
TON TO AN OVERLOOKED
ITEM OF MEASURE.
Authorizes an Increase of interes,
Bearing Bonds From 500 000,-
600 to $250,000,000

WASHINGTON. APRIL, 1.-(Spe-
ciaD-The most easily understood fea-
ture of the Payne tariff bill is that it
increases the authorization Of the in
terest- bearing bonds from 500 100000
to $25O,0O0.000 in any one year to run
for that year, and that too, in a per-
iod of profound peace. To issue bonds,
thereby creating new Indebtedness. is
simply postponing the evil day, for they
must be paid at last with interest"
Minority Leader Champ Clark was
talking on the Payne tariff bill. And
practically in the opening sentence he
directed attention to a feature in the
bill the Importance of which has been
overlooked by nearly everyone.
the authorization of an additional
$3.50, 900, 900 bond issue, in any one year
to run for that year, as Mr.. Clark
pointet out, means something. Briefly,
this is what it means. Because of the
publican party in the last eight years,
the government is spending more than
500, 100000 every year in excess of
what it takes in. II. .ae coming four
years the deficit, according to esti-
mates already made, will double the
one hundred million dollar mark. The
administration finds that even though
the Payne bill should become law,
not nearly enough revenue can be rails
ed to offset the extravaganza of the
machine in charge of the government
appropriations. How can a crisis be
averted or delayed? was the question
before the ways and means committee
Two ways outside of taxes suggested
themselves. One was to cut down ex-
penses. That would mean mo jobs
for lame ducks" and decrease appro-
priations for political navy yards. The
ways and means committee decided the
easiest way for the republican party
to get from under" would be via an
bond issue.

answer is, politics.
There are severe. political navy
yards. Mare Island is known as SEN
ator Perkins yard. In his campaign
speeches in San Froncisco Senator
Perkins claims credit for having in
duced the government to appropriate
the $14O00.OO0 for Mare Island. If the
government should quit appropriating
money, setting up the fact the yard is
worthless as a Pacific base, Perkins
caused the government to waste $14,-
100000 So Senator Perkins naturally
takes the position his navy yard is the
finest in the world. He says he will
see that the appropriations for Mare
Island are substantially increased every
year. He is chairman of the naval

When Hypnotixed Tramps Meet Death.
A No. /, the well known tramp, states
that riding upon the truck beams be-
tween the wheels Of flying passenger
train or even Of a slower going freight
train is exceedingly difficult. The fly
ing cinders deluge the eyes and at
times make breathing almost impossl.
BILE. More than this, he says that IN
less one strictly watches himself one
is in: danger Of becoming hypnotized.
The rhythmically pounding wheels jolt
Ing over the joints Of the rails have a
way of insistently commanding atten-
ton that is extremely dangerous. This
noise, sharp and repeated with devilish
persistence, can hypnotic the unwary,
he says. Often he has had to use ev-
cry resource Of will power which he
has In order to ward off the effects of
this endless and mind compelling
"click, click, click" He believes that
many tramp who has fallen to his
death from the trucks has been first
hypnotized In this way. This is per-
fectly sound psychology, and the proba-
bflity Of such hypnotism will be in
dorsed by any good specialist in this

CARNEGIE MAY

NASHVILLE, Tenn. April IA
bill was passed, with amendments, in
the house of representatives Wednes-
day to permit universities or other in
situations of learning to donate or
transfer endowment or other assets to
any other incorporated institution of
learning, for the stated purpose of en-.
abling Vanderbilt University to re-
ceive a gift from Andrew Carnegie.
1t was stated by Representative
Cleage that Carnegie proposed to give
a department to this university which
should be called "The Carnegie Insti-
tute of Science" but Prof Dudley,
dean of the medical department of
Vanderbilt University, on being inter
viewed / n regard to the ru-

on foot to that end, although would
be more than glad if the rumor were
true. Chancellor Kirkland could prob
ably furnish you with reliable infor-
nation in Iegard to the fact, but he is

When the bill was introduced Rep
resentative Langford objected to it, in
view of the fact that he thought the
bill was for the purpose of merging
the Peabody College of Nashville
with Vanderbilt University.
1t was then stated by Representative
Langford that the bill was for the pur-
pose Of allowing Vanderbilt University
to accept a gift of a Carnegie Insti-
tute of Science" and the bill was then
amended so that it could not apply to
the University of Nashville or Pea
body College. The bill was then
passed with this amendment.

The city Chancellor James Kirkland OF
