Deficit StQres
State in Face

the Cabin creek strike, which will
approximate 100000, Auditor
Darst estimates the total disburse-
ments from the state fund for the
present fiscal year at $1,966,S15, and
the receipts at $1,S45,2SS.53. For
the year 1914 the estimated receipts
are reduced to 500 and the
expenditures for the same period at
1,S8S,99O. The excess OF the ex-
penditures over the receipts in this
biennial period would eat up the
present balance and leave a large
deficit in the treasury.
The report contains a gsoup Of
tables showing the condition of the
fiscal affairs. One of the tables
shows the enormous increase in the
amount of railroad and other pub
lice service corporation taxes col
lected by the state and refunded to
the counties and districts, from
1925, 6S1. SO in 1896 to $1,944,-
366.14 in 1912.
That the fees accruing to state
officers, which formerly went to the
Office holders, have become a consid-
cradle source of revenue for the
state is portrayed in the tables of
the report. For the last fiscal year
the fees accruing IN the office of the
secretary of state amounted to $16,-
760.95; auditors Office s4S,972. d3,
and statutory fees amounting to
$22, O52. The fees collected in the
auditors Office were the largest in
the history OF the state. The taxes
on collateral inheritai1ces increased
from s26, O521O IN 1906 to $685.
233.37 in 1912, while the total taxes
collected on railroad property in

year,

MUSICAL
Recital Stops Suddenly in
Court When Player
Thinks of Fine.

The awful realization of having to
pay $3.50 in good money for being
drunk broke up a musical recital
this morning in police court.
A foreigner giving the name of
James Metals was arrafgned and
convicted of that charge, When ar
ticles that had been taken from his
pockets were returned to him, May
or Frank r.. Moore, who presided,
noticed three or four French harps
in the collection.
'FDo you play these harps?" asked
the mayor.
Vas, me play"
"All right, give us a little
spiel"
Metals picked up a harp and be-
gan playing, He knew how to play,
too. Suddenly he looked at the
mayor and stopped. '1How mooch
me pay?" he asked, referring to his
fine.
-Four dollars and sixty cents"
answered the mayor.
"Ah-h-h," said the fellow rest
ing his head upon his hand with an
agonized expression, too mooch;
only one night; too moch."
Forthwith he picked up his harpE
and refused to continue playing de-
spite all aatreaties OF the mayor and
others in court. The amount of his
fine was subtraoted from $15.1O,
which he had when arrested, and he
moped out of the court room with a
detected air as though he had lost
the last friend he had upon earth.

Prohibition Amendment Will
Cause Direct State Tax
to Be Increased.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 16-That the
present session of the West Virginia
legislature must face the problem
of creating additional revenue for
the maintenance of the state govern
ment, is Indicated by the biennial
report OF State Auditor j. S. Darst
in his estimate of receipts and dis
bursements for the ensuing biennial
period.
These estimated figures of Audi
tor Darst for the years 1915 ana
1914 show that only the balance on
$1,132,OOO left in the state treas
ury on the close of the last fiscal
year, September 80 last, will prevent
direct deficit in the treasury at
the end of the next fiscal year, I'M
less the legislature is enabled to
secure new sources of revenue or
the direct state tax is raised from
the minimum of one cent to a figure
sufficiently large to enable the re-
ceipts to equal the expenditures.
The biennial report shows that
the receipts eceeded the disburse-
mdats from the state fund in the
fiscal year 1911 by $685. $50. 6S,
leaving a balance at the beginning
OF the year 1912 of $1.17S,s41.4O,
which was reduced at the close or
the fiscal year 1912 to $1,132, 1887
through the expenditures exceeding
the receipts for the last fiscal year
by s4O,552.6S.
That the balance in the treasury
will be further impaired in the.,next
two Years unless additional revenue
is found is then shown by the state
auditor in his estimates. A large
hole IS torn in the estimated receipts
for the year 1914 when the prohi-
billion amendment becomes. effective.
For the year 1918 the license taxes
from the counties are estimated at
100000, but this source Of revenue
is reduced the following year to
$150,0OO through the elimination of
saloon licenses.

public esteem and this is being ac-
complished by the refusal to admit
companies into the state which are
financially weak or given to the use
of questionable methods; rigid ex-
amtnations; the elimination and
prosecution of fraudulent practices
and the wide publicity OF unwhole-
some propositions designed to catch
the unwary citizen.
Asserting that the insurance
laws of the state are far from per-
feet, he announces that additional
Legislation will be sought. One Of
the desired statutes is the blue
Sky" law which has enabled the
state of Kansas to prevent the sale
of false stocks. The department Of
the state fire marshal, which is
maintained by the fire insurance
companies doing business in the
state, Auditor Darst says has been
active in its efforts to reduce tEe
fire loss in West Virginia and
through the successful prosecution
of ncendiaries has been a potent
factor for good.

Within ten minutes after an appli-

single trace of .dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's

Healthy old age Is 80 absolutely de-

exercise, but this latter is irksome to
most elderly people. One thing is GER

to life and health. The best plan IL
to take a mild laxative as often as is

Washington.-After a conference
between Secretary Bryan and Presi-
dent Wilson 1t was announced at the
White House that kilograms had
been dispatched to both John Lind at
Vera Cruz and Charge O'shaughnessy
at Mexico City to make representa-
tiOns to the Huerta government that
the United States would look with
displeasure on any injury to the Mex
lean deputies now under arrest.
1t has been left entirely to Mr..
Lind's discretion whether he should
return to Mexico City to impress those
views on the Mexican authorities,
but Charge O'Shaughnessy has
been directed to address himself to
the minister of foreign relations and
make it plain that the United States
attaches "the gravest Importance" to
the arrest of the deputies and is
keenly interested in what will be
their fate.
President Wilson told callers that,
with the present state Of affairs, he
ulu uOI ScS hOW q COA6SASuSAohoi CtSS-
ton could be held in Mexico. So far
as the immediate policy of the United
States is concerned, 1t was made plain
by the President that there would oe
no departure from the original posi-
ton that the Mexicans should settle
their own affairs. There are no plans
for any increase in the number Of
American ships in Mexican waters.
The government here has practi-
cally abandoned all hope Of seeing an
election or treating any further with
Huerta as an individual. There Is
disposition In administration circles
to await the course of events with
the hope that the factional lines will
be so tightly drawn as to bring about
a natural adjustment without outside
interference.
Assures o'shaushnessy Deputies Safe.
Mexico City.-President Huerta has
assured the American charge daft
faires, Nelson O'Shaughnessy. that no
violence will be done the imprisoned
deputies. The American charge met
the President by chance and in the
course of conversation warned him of
the baneful effect which would be
produced throughout the civilized
world should harm come to the depu-r

Another development that is occu-

and under kitchen DOORS" He re-
latss their experiences In humorous
detail In the Kansas City Star; tells
how. after following the trail for ten
hours and forty minutes In the city
Of Topeka they finally ran down an
alley cocktail, and sums up the situa.
ton thus:
Then It IL possible to buy liquor
in Topeka? Yes, and 1t Is also. pos
sible to rob . bank there. 1t is a
crime to sell liquor and 1t is also .
crime to steal. and both crimes are
committed in Topeka and probably
will continue to be. But neither is
committed easily or with impunity
and neither is respectable. As to the
degree Of ease. should say that rob
bing bank would be much simpler
matter than buying an alley cocktail.
and would involve less risk. A bank
robber can get into Topeka without
having to register his name and oc.
cupation with the authorities. Whisky
can't. Under the Mahin law the rail.
roads are required to certify to the
county attorney every shipment OF
liquor laid down in Topeka, the name
Of the consignee and his address. II

What small quantity reaches there is
