But It Won't Knock Out
That Treasury Deficit
Which Is Now $50, 900, 900
How Corporation Tax
Is Collected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The
latest estimate made by the treas
ury department Is that about $751;
100000 will be derived by July 1,
1910, from the corporation tax.
This will go but short way
toward meeting the present $780,.
100000 deficit in the government
revenues from tariff and other
sources.
The largest possible revenues
from the first levy of the national
corporation tax as now estimated
by the treasury authorities is $685..
100000, of which $10,0O0,0OO at
least will not be paid in until after
midnight June 80, and will there
fore not be entered in the present
fiscal year.
What the treasury deficit at the
end of the fiscal year will be can
only be estimated. The treasury
authorities are hopeful that it may
decrease, owing to better returns
from the new tariff law in the last
three months of the fiscal year,
April, May and June.
The sc districts of the internal
revenue service have sent out all
their blanks and now have the re-
