JUGGLING WITH FIGURES.

1t has been patent to ali observers for
some time past that the treasury de-
partment was juggling with figures and
country was not shown in the annual
report. The Chicago Inter-Ocean cor
respondent at Washington has been en-
deavoring to learn the truth of the
matter and after calling attention to
the fact that the government deficit
is half million each day. makes the
following interesting statement
The comparative statements of the
treasury for the last few months, how
ever. furnished an interesting puzzle
last week When the deficit turned the
$50, 0OO,OoO mark, Nov. 25, zoos, there was
on hand in the governments own
vaults the neat sum OF $1se, 600. O00, with
a few odd pennies. IN the banks which
serve as depositaries there was another
$3.50. 600. 600.
When the $4,000. 600 deficiency mark
was touched Jan. 81. 1909, Uncle Sam 5
treasurers reported that there were
actually in the governments own
vaults s12s. 600. OOo while the amount in
the hanks had been reduced by $4,000.

'Simme-ed down. this meant that
while Uncle Sam had been doing busi-
ness at an actual loss of s25. 00o, eco in
the two months. he had found it neoes-
sary' to call in only s15eoo. e0e from the
bank deDositaTies during that period.
Yet. instead Of the reports showing
that he had dug an extra $4,000. 600 out
of the governments vaults. the treas
ury statement actually reported that
the government cash had jumped from
s1ss coz, zoe to s14s. ooo. e0o.''
This showing puzzled the other cor
respondents as well as the Inter-Oeean
man. and they set forth in battle array

A BAD BILL.

Two features in particular mark the
saloon regulation bill prepared by the
federal officials who have been given
control of politics in Utah during the
past few years. They are:
First--A tender regard for the brew
ers whose invasion Of the retail liquor
business has led the country over to an
outcry against the saloon, and has re-
suited in the elamor for prohibition.
standardization for the still fur
Their utilization of the saloon in Utah
politics as part of the federal bunch's
machine.
The proposed bill Is ridiculous and
nonsensical. It contains a great num-
Der of provisions. unduestionably put
in for the legislature to take out, but
it is evil beyond compare in the two
particulars noted. Ii neither curbs the
brewer who scatters his dives over the
town, nor does it limit the number of
saloons that may be opened in any
place.
The one positive feature of the bill is
its open provision for a state control
that would mean federal bunch politics
with every saloonkeeper, every whole
sale liquor dealer, every brewer of the
state compelled to subscribe to the
campaign fund and to deliver his al
lotsd quota of votes on election day.
under penalty OF personal prosecution,
revocation of his license or haTassment
by the license boards inspectors.
1t is doubtful if the bill viii be seri-
ously considered, even if some fatuous
person i'm the legislature be induced TO
introduce il. Instead of being an ac-
ceptable compromise to those who have
demanded absolute prohibition, it seems
more than probable that this bill. IA
thered by the men who made the deal
with the brewers last summer. will be
entirely repugnant TO the prohibition
lists, while the obvious insincerity OF the
proposition is likely to result in a reac-
lion in favor of prohibition among
those who have been opposed to pro-
hibition on principle.
There are plenty of honest, capable
men in the legislature who can be
trusted to prepare such a measure as
would be effective in dealing with the
evils of the liquor business. Let them
draft a bill that viii regulate it for the
benefit Of the state and its citizens
and not with the sole view Of aggran-
dizing a little coteTie of selfish poll
ticians. and there will be no question OF
the public support that win be given
the measure.

knowledge was sadly deficient in this
particular instance, the now thorough

ents put the question to Louis A Coo

The correspondent account follows;
How did we do it, he laughed in

the general fund. and 50 we have jus,
credited the proceeds of the bonds 10
the general fund. The exact status Of
the Panama receipts and expenses is
not shown in the daily statements, and,
as the bonds are part of the public
debt, they are not shown in the current
liabilities"
So the Panama canal bonds are being
