THE TREASURY DEFICIT

Chairman Fitzgerald OF the House
Committee on Appropriations. and
Mr.. Gillet, the ranking minority
member. agree that the Sixty-third
Congress was the most lavish in APP
preparations Of any i'm history. Mr..
Gillett shows that the total appropria-
tons amounted to $2,23l, coo, 600,
which was $113,000,00O more than
those of the last Republican Congress.
1t will be recalled that the charter
of faith Of the Democracy, the Balti-
more platform, which the presidential
candidates assured the people was mot
molasses to catch flies" said: I'VE
denounce the protiigate waste of
money wrung from the people by OPP
pressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations OF recent Republican
congresses, which have kept taxes
high and reduce the purchasing power
of the peoples toll. We demanl re-
turn to that simplicity and economy
which BELTS democratic govern
ment and a reduction in the number Of
useless offices, the salaries of which
drain the substance OF the people"
Mr. Fitzgerald estimates that the
treasury deficit, after the income tax
is paid, will reach $50, 100000 by June
80 He ascribes conditions to lavish
expenditures and to checking OF
treasury receipts as a result Of the
great war. Mr.. Gillett blames the

TWISTED THE TIGERS TAIL

Billy Sunday went to Princeton the

row minded Calvinist who presides
over the destinies of the college, re-
fusd to meet him, he was not per

having "Old Nassau" sing for him.
Nevertheless he bore up under the
shock. He preached two character

graduates. by having els young men

the difficulty of sermonizing 10 such

Sunday did not himself win his

until he began to tell his own eXper-

tariff. That IL was not designed for
revenue only was obvious from its
terms and from the statement of Mr..
Underwood at the time II was enacted.
Its purpose was TO reduce the cost of
living. 1t might have done this
though il would have greatly injured
American industries and reduced the
purchasing power OF the people but
for the fact that the unfeeling inn
porters pocketed host of the money
they had formerly paid into the treas
ury. Until a very short time ago the
total value OF imports was practically
equal to that OF the imports of the
preceding year Either there was a
serious miscalculation as TO the rev.
enue from the tariff or a gross over
estimate OF the receipts from the in
come tax. Judging from the smaller
number of returns and the general
passing OF dividends, the income tax
will yield still less this year In spite
of the so-called war tax, the treas
ury deficit will probably greatly ex-
coed Mr. Fitzgerald's modest estimate.
The Democratic administration
might be pardoned for its incompe-
tence in providing revenues. Exact
estimates require long experience and
great wisdom. But the lavish expend-
itures in the face of falling revenue
cannot be so easily condoned. But
for two filibusters and the threat OF
another the deficit would have been
much larger. 1t will be a long time
before this country will again turn
it's affairs over TO such bunglers.

OPINION CHANGED
But when victories began TO be won
and when the enemy, FIRST here and then
there, was rolled back, the popular opin-
ion OF the Kaiser began to change. Peo-
pie confessed they had misjudged HIM.
The bitter criticism OF Germany's enc.
mics directed against the Kaiser and the
comments Of neutral nations added to
his popularity at home, until now the
Kaiser is the idol OF his nation. He is
regarded as the embodiment OF German
virtues the representative OF German
might and power The nation agrees he
has not abused the absolutely autocratlc
power which he has welded since last
August, but has used his authority to
meet every crisis confronting Germany

have demonstrated her powers so con-
vlncingly that the Kaiser, who is now
responsible for all things in tine Empire,
must be given the title OF The Great"
The Kaiser in particular has inspired
Germans with confidence IN the outcome
OF the war. His calm assertions of VIC
TRY have been followed by deeds so often
that he Is not only the ruler. but alsJ
the prophet Of his people. When the war

The annual report OF the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company for the fiscal
year ending June sO 1915, shows that for
the first time since the organisation Of
the company In 1902 its yearly gross
earnings have fallen behind the tltal for
the preceding year The report just

crease In gross earnings for the year of

being S23,s43, COS, as compared with S2i,-

This unfavorable condition, according
to the management, is due largely to the
competition OF the jitneys and the general
business depression. The report makes
