But, Secretary Says, He Is
Not Losing Sleep Over
Financial Situation.
NO BOND ISSUE
Is CONTEMPLATED
Government in Excellent Shape,
He Asserts, and People Will
Not Be Burdened.
rrrom N, Trihnn. Rnrc,n ;

Washington, Aug. 31.-Admittinc
that the war revenue tax would prob
ably have 10 be re-enacted TO provide
funds 20 run the government during
the next year. Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo declared to-day chat he
was not losing any sleep on the fnan
cial situation"
The government, Mr. McAdoo said.
was in excellent shape. 1t could easily
raise all the revenue il might need
for proper expenditures without i'm
posing any taxes tina. would bear
heavily on the people No bond issue
was contemplated. nor had been since
he came into Office. He declined to dis
cuss details of the war revenue bill, as
to whether it would have to be in
creased or not, on the ground that un-
til the estimates Of what would be
needed came in he would not know
how much revenue would have to be
raised. On the same theory, he said,
he could not discuss the proposal to
retain the present TAX on sugar.
81 am not losing any sleep over the
financial situation of the government"
said Mr.. McAdoo. Despite the COM
ments. | am not worrying about the
condition of our balance, and | am sure
that | am the one 10 do the worrying
if any has TO be done.
This country is the most fortuntely
situated in the world at the present
time with regard TO revenues. We
are in a better position than any
other country to increase greatly our
revenues, if ecessary, without plac-
ing any burden on the people that
would bear heavily upon them.
I'VE can raise with ease all the
money that will be needed for proper
expenditures without either burdening
the people or issuing bonds. | have
never contemplated bond issue since
! came into Office, and am not doing
so now
"As to the war revenue tax bill, 1t
is probable that it will have TO be
re-enacted. At the time it was first
considered | recommended that IT
should not merely run for the period
of one year, but should run during
the duration of the war in Europe,
which is depressing our customs rev.
enues, and that is still my opinion.
"How about continuing the present
duty on sugar ?" the Secretary was
asked. "Will that be necessary to keep
up the revenues of the government
next year,
THAT also depends largely on the
estimates to be made by the various
departments" was the reply. 81 am
not yet in position to discuss that
90 you favor an inheritance tax
to be imposed by the Federal govern
ment?"
~ think such a tax could undoubt-
edlv be imposed. and would be a
proper kind of tax, though, of course
I could not estimate how much reve-
nue. would be brought in by such a
tax without figures as TO the amounts
Of money left every year by will and
without taking a definite list Of per-
centages which would be the govern
ment taxes.

SCOTT REPORTS
ON BORDER MISSION
Tells Wilson Villa Will Accept
Any Government Not Headed
Personally by First Chief.
rFrom The TrIhuns Burs,u

IIf'fu ANf hfAHiANa nuIftA
Washington. Aug 81 The appeal OF
the Pan-American Conference to the
Mexican leaders has been delivered to
all those addressed. according TO ad-
vices to the State Department from
consular officers. The time limit Of
ten days suggested by the conferrees
will therefore expire on September 10,
and it is blieved that If General Car
ranza's answer is not received by that
time it can be safely assumed that he
has resolved not TO reply.
Hope is still entertained in certain
quarters that the first chief will con-
sent to join his enemies in a peace con-
ference. Informal representations are
being made TO him at the instance OF
the State Department. indicating that
this government would not be averse
to recognizing him ii he should be the
choice of such a convention. At the
same time he is informed that unless
he adopts the friendly suggestion Of
the mediators there is no chance OF his
recognition.
1t is the sincere belief of this gov
errment that 10 recognize any govern
ment in Mexico hostile to Carranza
would be unjust, since the Constitu-
tionalist faction is admittedly the
strongest ir Mexico.
The seven diplomats who sent the
appeal TO Mexico are determined 10
push the plar to its logical conclusion,
and whether Carranza decides TO come
in or not the peace congress will be
held as scheduled. In that event il will
be merely n convention of the conven-
tionists. who already have elected a
provisional President" and will be in
the homogeneous position of being
called on TO agree on another EXecu-
tive.
Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief
of staff. who has been on the Mexican
border for several weeks Strengthening
out the situation there, returned to
Washington to-day and reported the
results of his trip TO President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing. He said that
Villa and his followers were ready to
make peace on any terms that would
acknowledge the contributions they
have made toward the liberation OF
Mexico.
Villa. the general said. had com
Dletely abandoned any pretensions he
may have had to the Presidency. and
was believed willing to agree to the
naming of any government in Mexico
not headed personally by Carranza.
General Scott had several interviews
with Villa, and was greatly impressed
BY his fairness and sincerity.
II the proposed peace congress is
held in Mexico without the participa-
ton Of the Carranza faction. it is hoped
the Villistas can be persuaded to agree
on a government that would be accept
able to a large part of Carranza's fol-
lowers

From Gilmore Circuit.

w. Somers may be hit again by the
Federals unless he has Walter Barbara
broken. according to a Greenville. S. c.,
report Thursday.
The story from Greenville, Barbara 8
home. Is that the Feds have made the

action he will take. which probably
means that he will either ask the Maps
to meet the Feds terms or will con.
suit lawyer to see IL he can squirm
out of the Cleveland contract.
Barbara went to Cleveland last fall
from the New Orleans club. and was
apparently satisfied with the terms the
Somers club offered. His friends say
however. that the Cleveland offer was
not large. and the Federals wouldn't
have to bid very high to get it.
Several more experienced ball players
made no secret OF their belief that the
younger and less experienced Barbara
didn't show very much shrewdness In
not holding out for a larger offer from
Cleveland. and the talk that Barbare's
salary was small reached Federal ears
to play in the majors, and. appreciativs
Of what John Dobbs had done for him
here, didn't kick on the Cleveland
price.
