Where Christmas
Things Come From

children all enjoy the ever
green's and ornaments that are
seen each Christmas, but how
many Of them know what parts
Of the country are ransacked in order
to furnish these things for their pleas
ure and delight?
Practically all Of the evergreens ap-
pearing In American homes for the
holiday eason are grown in the United
States. The Christmas trees come for
the most part from northern New Eng
land. Michigan. Wisconsin and Min
nesota. There are some growing far
ther south. but the bulk Of the trees
are from the far north. The black
spruce grows In swamps. the white
spruce. pine and firs on the higher
land. Not only are the little trees
cut. but tops OF larger trees and limbs
II they are Of the proper shape.
The holly comes from the woods Of
New England and the Allegheny noun
taina. In the north It 10 q shrub. but
in the south the holly grows into great
trees. sometimes 6fty feet high. with
its red berries Il q q most picturesque
tree.
Mistletoe II . parasite that takes root
in the bark Of other trees. such a. the
maple and poplar. It ID not found In
the northern states. but mostly Ia the
middle and southern states.
What are known as Christmas greens
or ground pines are very like the ferns
and mosses and grow In shady places
on the forest door.

 There was extreme activity at the war office. It is a noticeable fact that practically all the troops being sent into Southern Hungary are Aus trians, while the Slav regulars are being moved to the northern frontiers of Austria. The government fears that the Slavic bond might prove too strong for the loyalty of the Hun garian troops. The Balkan people are Slavs.
 Further complications have been added to the situation by reports from Belgrade that EsseG Pasha, the Turk ish commander of Scutari, who sur rendered to the Montenegrins, has proclaimed himself king of Albania.

Question Of Revenue.
While there is undoubtedly some di-
vision Of opinion among the conferees
of the committees Of both houses, now
considering the bill, as to the amount
Of revenue possible for the government
to receive under it's provisions as
amended by the senate, it is not
thought that this will result in any
long drawn out discussion of the meas
ure, nor prevent it from being put in
it's final form this month.
Under the bill as passed by the house
importations valued at $1O3, 100000
yearly were to be transferred from the
dutiable to the free list. The amend
ments by the senate added $44,OOO,OOO
to this free list, making total Of $147,-
100000.
It has been estimated that the in
crease in importations, free and dutia-
BILE, under the house bill, as amended,
will amount to $123, 100000. Calculat-
ed upon the comparative basis of free
and dutiable imports as explained in
the report, the average ad valorem in
the house bill is 27.S4 per cent and in
the senate bill 2667 per cent.
1t is estimated that government re-
ceipts from all sources, including GUS
toms, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1914, will amount to 1896, $4,000.
Ordinary expenditures for the same
period will amount to 1904. 100000.
leaving surplus of $2,O2O.OOO.
On the other hand, according to fig
ures given Chairman Underwood by
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1913-09-18
Income Tax Feature.

It is estimated that during the fiscal
year 1915, when all the provisions of
the amended bill will be in operation,
there will be a revenue of between
100000 and $1OOOO,OOO in excess of
the probable needs Of the government
and that the income tax feature of the
bill will bring a revenue considerably
in excess Of $1OO,OOO.OOO. That sum
has been partially offset by placing
sugar on the free list, removing a
source Of revenue producing more than
$5O,OOO,OOO annually.
The entire receipts of the govern
ment as estimated by Senator SIM
mons for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1914, including all features Of the
new tariff act, are shown by this table:

history of the government the senate
passed tariff bill with rates substan-
italy lower than those recommended
by the house. In it's amended form
the bill as passed by the senate greatly
increased the free list by the inclusion
of farm products and other articles Of
necessity. which the house Democrats
had hesitatel to leave entirely unpro-
tected, while rates on manufactured
articles are almost uniformly reduced.
The bill as amended passed the SEN
ate on Sept 9, four months to day
after the measure had been received
from the house. Its passage by vote
of A to 81 was made more notable by
the fact that Senator Poindexter' Of
Washington. the only Progressive par
ty member of the upper house, and
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin cast
their votes with the Democrats Sen
ators Ransdell and Thornton Of Louisi-
ana were the only Democrats to vote
against the measure.
Chairman Simmons of the senate
finance committee, who had the tariff
bill in charge during it's consideration
by the upper house, was paid high
tribute by Senator Gallinger for the
courtesy, gentleness and consideration
displayed during the long debate on
the measure. Senator Gallinger said
it had been more free from asperity
and bitterness than any similar dis
cussion during his long service, cover
ing more than a score of years. He
said that all the Republicans joined
in approving the sentiment expressed
by him.

Senate Lowered Rates.

An interesting feature in the pas
sage of the measure by the senate was
the fact that for the first time in the
