U. S, ITSELF LIKELY
TO NEED Big LOAN
Daily Deficit at Rate Of
$l7O,OOO,OOO a Year
Being Shown,
MAY ISSUE BONDS
Democratic Measure Fails
to Make Up for Loss
of Tariff.

The daily deficit Of $545,OO0, or at
the rate of $l70,O00OOO a year i'm
the operations Of the United States
treasury suggests that within three
months it will be necessary for the
government TO raise a loan Of at least
10000, 900 to provide for ordinary
expenditures and suitable working
balance.
Then if the task Of bringing the
army and navy to the state of pre-
paredness matcrializes into action,
there will be required at least $780,
600. 600 more. so that the banks and
investors of this country may reason
ably look forward to being called on
within the next six months to lend
the United States $780, 100000. This
situation may be worthy Of some con-
sideratiOn on the part of the western
bankers who are not under banking
obligation to foreign financiers.
From July 1, the beginning Of the
governments fiscal year the average
daily expenditures to September S
We're $545,255 in excess Of receipts
making a total deficit from operations
Of $32,714,133 in little over two
months. on September s the net bal
ance in the treasury available for
such expenditures was $5l,67l,5O2.
Problem Up to Congress.
At the current rate of deficit this
balance will be exhausted by the mid
die of December, if not earlier APP
parently about the first matter that
will be brought TO the attention of
congress on its assembling will be the
necessity for providing funds to meet
daily expenses
At the rate of $545,OOO day
deficit, the total for twelve months
would reach over 100000 And
as imports continue to fan off, due to
the continuance of the foreign war
the gap between income and eXpendi-
ture should grow larger, although
even had there been no war, the re-
duction in tariff duties would prob
ably have brought about treasury
condition similar to that which now
exists
For the current fiscal year to Sep
tembcr government receipts we're
$12O,275,573, against 38,998,947, for
the corresponding period i'm 1914, a
decrease of $S,959,57S or 37.7 per cent
compared with last year. Up'to Sep
tember s of this year the expenditures
we're $153,S55,2O7, making a deficit
from operations Of $32,7l4,133, or an
average daily rate of over $4,000.

One thing led to another, and we got
into quite a wrangle over the wire.
There was a bunch of newspaper men
standing by the telephone booth and
as they could hear what said to

whole business got into the papers.
The reporters knew I was talking to
Connie. suppose we were both ex.
cited and worked up from the strain

Well, what do you think of that?"
said to my players, who had been
attending skull practise when I went
out to telephone. Connie must be a
little more worried over this team
than he. pretends to be. He won't let
us use his park to practise in. He
bawled me out over the telephone, and
we had quite row." >....-

more of the details, and they all got
mad, just what I wanted They had
their crouch, and it was a swell one.
I knew from that moment that they
would go out there and ride the Phil

knew that any club which would ride
the Athletics would beat them. The
old Detroit team used to win from
Connie Mack's club right along in this
way My row with Connie Mack was
worth more to me than a weeks prac-
tise in his park, because it put the
players in just the frame of mind in
which desired to have them meet

Work on the new Scotland Neck
bank building has been hampered by
the flooded condition of the cellar.
The new municipal power plant,
according to local mechanics Goes
not give the service that the old one
did. This, they Say, is due to its
inferior installation.
Messrs. w. H. Kitchin and Percy
Johnson, both Scotland Neck boys,
have been awarded the contract to
build a gravel road through the run
to the southeast of Scotland Neck
known as Deep Creek. For the last
two months this thoroughfare has
been impossible to automobiles and
sometimes impossible to get through
with team. They will begin work
at once. The consideration for this
work was not given to The Com
monwealth.
Messrs. E. w., Charles and Jim
Smith, on their own initiative, have
mixed sand with the clay road that
passes the cemetery and have i'm
proved the muddy highway to the
extent of going over the road in an
automobile. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Hughes, the county civil
engineer who supervised the build.
ing of this road refused to let his
foreman mix sand with the red clay
when this road was built. The pub
lie now appreciates just how much
