Levying a 'war tax" in
times of peace is rather an
unusual occurrence, yet that
is what Congress is called up
on to do. While it is true
that the European war is in q
measure responsible for the
decrease in the revenues of
the government, yet the
blame for the deficit does not
rest entirely with the war.
The new tariff law, enacted
by democratic congress, has
much to do with the financial
condition of our national
treasury today. AS a matter
of fact, the deficit existed be-
fore the war began. Receipts
from duties on imports de-
clined heavily long before the
European war started. The
receipts from the income tax
also fell far below the govern
ment's estimate. On top Oh
this decrease in revenue, was
quite an increase in govern
ment expenses, the Baltimore
platform to the contrary not
withstanding. In round mum.
bers it cost just $47, 900, OOC
more to run the government
during the first fiscal year o.
Wilson's administration thar
it did during the last year O
the Taft administration
This difference alone, says al
exchange, represents a larg,
sized chunk of the deficit i
is now proposed to'meet witt
this twar tax"

The Kimberly Call is mis-
taken when it says that ''the
law is mandatory in its pro
vision that school districts
shall publish a financial state
ment annually" The 10th
session passed q law requir-
ing school districts to publish
annual financial statements,
but the law was repealed by
the last legislature. How
ever, independent districts are
still required to publish an
nual statements.

Some of the papers are OBJ

primary law which requires
that a person shall call for
his party ticket when he goes

about the law which we like
and should be retained if the
law is to remain on our stat

Brooklyn, and he helped to win the
championship.
when McGinnity was with the
Giants he was jewel. He never was
commanded to relieve a pitcher in dis
tress. for he used to warm up of his
own accord, and McGraw knew that
he was eager to go in. McGinnity,
hear took part in more than sixty
games in the Northwestern league last
year. Do you know why? Because he
used that old underhand delivery,
which is easy on the shoulder and up

perhaps thirty-seven years old, never
dissipates. He is a typical iron man,
and his wonderful record proves it."

THE TOTAL STATE DEBTS.
Preliminary Census Figures Show In

Washington. - Preliminary figures
made public by the director of the
census, w. j. Harris, show that the
total Indebtedness of the forty-eight
states of the union, less sinking fund
assets, on June 80, 1918, was $342,215,
900, an increase of $107342,000, or
nearly SO per cent over the total ten
years ago.
Including sinking fund assets, the
total debt amounted to $419,157 900, or
which sum about $19,000,000 repre-
sented the floating debt.
The total debt of Massachusetts, the
report said, represented 1872 per cent
of the debt of all states in the United
States. Iowa, Wyoming and Oregon
each had less than one-tenth of 1 per
cent of the debt of all the states,
while Pensylvania's sinking fund as
sets, exceeded the total debt. New
York had 25 per cent of the, total for
the thirty-eight states.

Reform That Is Needed.

A Joint resolution to amend the con-
stitution of the United States 30 that
the president could be inaugurated and
the new congress be assembled in jan
uary following their election, was
favorably reported by subcommittee
to the judiciary committee Of the SEN
ate. There would be little more sense
in such an amendment than in some
others that have been suggested for
the purpose of changing the date OF
the Inauguration. The idea underlying
the suggestions last referred to is to
make the outdoor inaugural show fall
in a more clement season Of the year;
and the latter part Of April has been
the time most favored. What is really
desirable, however, Is TO shorten the
hiatus between the election Of new
congress and its first regular meeting.
which Is now 13 months. A fairly sat-
isfactory reform Of this character
would be obtained, however, without
any constitutional amendment and by
a simple act OF congress changing the
date of meeting from the first Monday
of December to the fourth day Of
March of the year following the cleo
ton. OF course, this would leave I'M
disturbed the anachronism which per-
mits a congress to vote appropriations

office of a goodly number of its mem
