BUT SLIGHT DECREASE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3-E,stimates
of revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30th next in Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoos annual report, give
the latest information as to what the
Wilson administration expects from
the new tariff law
The secretary estimates that for
the twelve months ending with next
June the customs revenues will
amount to s270, 600, 900, or STA, 400, 600
less than under the Payne ldrich
law in the preceding fiscal year.
Mr.. McAdoo figures, however that
the government will receive from in
ternal revenue $407. 100000. or s62.-
500 900 more than in the previous
twelve months
The marked increase In internal
revenue receipts will result from the
new income tax Secretary McAdoo
estimates that this tax will yield $54,-
100000 from individuals, and S33,-
100000 from corporations in the
present fiscal year. but this will be
reduced by an $8,000,000 compensa-
tory reduction In the corporation ex-
else tax, which has been superseded
by the income tax
The secretary believes that the
revenue from the new tariff law Will
be ample to meet the governments
expenditure with a big margin OF
surplus.

The suffragists sought of the rules

Conditions In south
Mrs. Breckenridge made a particular
plea to the Southern members OF the
rules committee. She pointed out that
conditions of living in the state of the
South were inferior to those in the
States where women had either had the
ballot. or where the assumption of the
franchise by women threatened She
did not spare her own State, Kentucky,

States of the West--the suffrage States
AS the delegates love to call them.
She pointed out that the aggregate
Wilson majorities in these States were
only one hundred thousand.
