TREASURY REPORT
SHOWS BIG SURPLUS
Excess of Receipts Over Dis
bursements for the First
Time Since 1907.

WASHINGTON. June 30-When the
government S fiscal year closed today
the federal treasury held a cash surplus
of at least s$S.ooo,ooo and showed an
excess of receipts over disbursements
for the first time since 1907.
| While revised returns, showing the
| government s exact financial condi-
tions. will NOT be available for several
days. from such figures as are at hand
and such estimates as treasury officials
consider reliable. il is apparent the gov
ernment in the last twelve months re-
ceived from all sources not less than
$3.50, 900, about $l0,000,000 more
than expected, and spent $656,ooo, 900,
about $4,000, 900 less than planned.
For the first time income from in
ternal revenues and customs was near
" equal. While customs receipts for
the year fell $20,000,000 and will stand
at about 1912, 100000, the internal rev.
enue promises to total S315.000,000 the
greatest sum ever collected from that
source.
Four causes have contributed to the
great increase IN internal revenue. The
corporation tax is responsible for S2S,-
$155, 100000; tobacco, 62,000.000, and
beer SOL 100000. 1t was estimated that
when collectors of internal revenue
closed their Offices today the govern
ment would have at least S20,000,000
Of the corporation tax money in hand.
The other $s,000,000 is not expected
until July 10.
In round figures, it cost the govern
ment last year $l75,0O0,00o for the
civil service; $l6l 100000 for the
army; Sla0,00o,o00 for the navy; $21,-
100000 for the Indians; $l5S,000,000
for pensions. and $21 100000 for in.
terest on the public debt. Expendi-
lures for Indians, pensions and civil
service all have exceeded the first es-
Inmates. More than $37,000,000 was
spent upon the Panama canal.
If the final revision of the years
figures make no material changes in
estimates, the government s eXpend-
lures have been $3,000,000 less in 1911
than in 1910, although they have ex-
ceeded those in 1906, 1907 and 1908.
Receipts have been sl3,ooo,ooo greater
than in 1910.
The federal treasury enters the fiscal
year 1912 with more than $1,S00,000,-
600 in cash, the largest sum ever held.

CONCESSIONS ARE
 MADE BY DIAZ
MExIco's PRESIDENT ADVOCATES REFORMS DEMANDED BY
 THE INSURRECTOS.
No Reelection of Chief Executive Is Recommended to Congress in the
 Message Just Submitted.

Mexico City.-Committing himself to the advocacy of many of the re- forms demanded by the revolutionists, although professedly lowing only to the influence of public opinion, Pres ident Diaz answered his critics through his semi-annual message at the opening of the national congress.
 The principle of no reelection of the chief executive and incumbents of other elective offices and the reform of the electoral laws so that the priv ilege of the ballot may be enjoyed by those citizens who are considered ca pable of voting were advocated.
 The message refers specifically to the application of the no reelection principle to the naming of state gov ernors, one of the chief contentious of the diseontented element throughout the republic, the president stating that if bill providing for the pc Tiodical renovation" of the officials in question should come before con gross it would have his earnest sup port. Abuse of power by jefes pc liticos, another of the crying evils complained of by residents in the ru- ral districts throughout Mexico. is to be abated. according to the plan out lined by the president.
 The president proposes to improve the efficiency of the judiciary through a more careful selection of its per sonnel and lengthening the tenure of office. Punishment of judicial func- tionaries for malfeasance is to be brought about through the enactment Of more stringent measures.
 On the subject of the division of the great private estates, the chief executive declared his determination to find efficient means for bringing about the innovation.

AMONG THE
 LAWMAKERS
To Abolish Convict Lease System.
By ]. H. HAND.

After long debate the house adopted a resolution prohibiting the hiring out of convicts after July l. The penitentiary board asked the leg islature to give an expression of son. timent on the question of hiring out the conyicts, as the board had under consideration proposition to contract 200 convicts at sl day until October 1. and would make a contract unless otherwise advised by the representa- tiyes of the people. The senate re- fused to take any action on the mat ter. on the grounds that state officials should run their official business with out calling on the legislature for ad- vice. In the house the discussion waxed warm and earnest on both sides. NIT. Davis Of Lafayette sup ported the leasing out of the prison CTS, because, he said, it would bring in a revenue of about s36,000 annually to the state. Speaker Milwee made a strong argument against any more convict lease contracts, saying the Democratic platform places ban on same. and he thought it the duty of the legislature to abolish the practice now and forever. Representative Brown of Cleveland thought the whole matter had resulted from a political fight and that the legislature ought to keep hands off. One rorce was asking the legislature to kill the lease sys- tenn and another as urgently insisting that it be continued. To him it looked like just move to give some man a platform to run for office on later. Representative Grant of Jackson was in favor of acting at once to forever abolish the system, and in reply to the revenue feature of the question showed that more revenue could be produced for the state by the convicts working on the farm than by being hired out.
