WASHINGTON, D. C.-The adj
ministration has taken up in earnest
the ouestion of how the governments
ovnenses shall be brought within it's
income during the next fiscal year.
cabinet conference today debated
the situation at length and tomor-
row President Wilson will go over
the situation with Secretary McAdoo,
Postmaster General Burleson, Repre-
sentative \ Underwood, democratic
leader in the house, and Representa-
tive Fitzgerald, chairman of the ap-
propriations committee. Estimates
of expenditures for the year far ex-
coed the most extravagant hopes for
revenues, and administration leaders
agree that something must be done
to prevent a deficit.
While no final conclusions were
reached by the cabinet it is under
stood that most of the members could
see no way of avoiding the necessity
of extending the time limit on the
war tax law unless congress would:
Reduce all appropriation bills as
niue has possible without impairing
the efficiency of the government.
Abandon the $34,0O0,O00 river
and appropriation bill, and
Adopt Postmaster General Burle-
sons free delivery service by putting
carriers on a contract basis.
The cabinet officers realize that
congress will not easily be persuaded
to eliminate the river and harbor bill
entirely.
BurlesOn's Proposal Rejected.
Mr.. Burleson's proposal to con-
gress that it reduce free delivery eX-
penses from $50, 100000 to $35, 900 =
600 was rejected by the house. These
two items taken out of congress
plans for appropriations would make
a large saving, it was pointed out,
and possibly relieve all embarrass-
ment for the present. 1t also was
said congress probably might be ask
ed to cut the current army and navy
bills, though it is conceded that not
much can be done in this direction.
Estimates for expenditures for the
fiscal year ending in 1916, sent by
Secretary McAdoo to congress at the
beginning of the present session OF
congress, amounted to approximately
$1,000, 100000, which included the
estimated amount of approximately
$50, 900, 600 to meet the sinking fund
obligations. Additional estimates,
however, have aggregated $25, OOO,-
600. The estimates for revenues to-
tailed approximately $1,O55 100000.
1t is understood tonight that Sec
rotary Garrison will not object If an
appropriation of approximately 81
100000 for a new transport now car
ried in the army bill is eliminated.
Some 100000 more than the
amount estimated by Secretary Dan
iels is carried in the naval bill as
completed by the committee, and
Postmaster General Burleson's esti-
mates have been increased by approx
imately $24,O0O,OOO in the postoffice
bill

VOTE YES" ON
SUFFRAGE ISSUE

Next Tuesday every New Jersey
will have chance to vote yes or no
on the question of admitting women
to the right to vote, and we hope
there may be landslide in the af-
firmative.
We have before US enough suf-
frage matter to fill two papers, and
we cannot do else but omit it, even
though some of it is good. The best
argument offered was reply to the
statement that women are too ir-
responsible to be trusted with the
ballot. 1t says:
Over in England the militant
suffragettes became the strongest
supporter of the government when
danger threatened, while noble
man says that his duty is to cripple
the government because blatherskite
trades unionists tell him to- Which
has the weaker mind?"

The County Board OF Commissioners
may be well within their rights I'm de-
Ginning TO grant the petition to erect
n shed for the curb market, but the
ground on which the refusal is based
does not appear TO be well AIKEN. No
expenditure OF county funds could
possibly be of greater and more di-
rect beneht to all the people OF the
county thar that which the erection
OF a Curb Market shed would entail.
The chief benehciaries OF the expendi-
lures would be farmers who have
country produce for sale. but who
heretofore. before the establishment
OF h Curb Market. have had no reg

Market Is supported and maIntined.

and eager to purchase directly from
the farmers are also benefited by the
maintenance Of the curb market. i'm
that they obtain fresh and wholesome
articles at less cost than they have
heretofore had to pay for stun ship

market enables the producers to OBJ
tain higher prices for what they have

NEGOTIATIONS VARY.
Commercial Cultures Differ I'm Results
on Alfalfa Field at Clemson.

VII <hiiuiid f1elu at clemson.
Clemson College. April 5.-A ten
acre field or the Clemson College
farm has been put into alfalfa this
year very successfully. The field
was sown last fall and the stand Is
now excellent and gives promise of
good yields.
This field was inoculated with
commercial cultures obtained from
three concerns, which provided the
cultures so that the college might
put them to the test in the field.
One kind OF culture was thoroughly
successful. Another was almost as
successful. The third. however,
which was asserted to be a pan
acea," or capable of imoculating
many sorts of legumes, failed to
produce results. This part of the
field was reinoculated with the kind
OF culture that had been successful
at first.
Soil incubation for legumes Of all
kinds that require incubation is
recommended by Clemson College.
Where commercial incubation is
used, farmers should be very careful,
to use a kind that has been proven
successful. For alfalfa, use an al
fGlfa incubation. not something rec
commended for several different ie-
gumcs.
