Years ago the village of St. Peter voted $25, 600
bonds to the building of the Northwestern railway
to that city The Free Press has figured it that
the bonds voted the city has paid $46 $50 in in
terest and the original Indebtedness is still unpaid And
if memory right these bonds voted by
ST. Peter because the Northwestern officials agreed
the main line thru that city and put Mankato stub,
but Mankato is the main line and St. Peter

ed that If the present taxes only were
continued throughout this year and
the next there would be a deficit in
the national treasury at the end of
that period of approximately $112, O00,-
900, this reckoning taking into ac-
count $93,SOO,O0O for naval and milf
tary preparedness during 1917, and
$62,000,000 in deficiency appropria-
tons.
Proposing that the new bills should

ident suggested that by lowering the

and the figure at which the surtax is
imposed, and by increasing step by
step throughout the present gradua-
ton, the surtax itself. income taxes
as at present apportioned would yield
sums sucient to balance the books
CT the treasury at the end of the fis-
cal year 1917 without anywhere max
ing the burden unreasonably heavy.
He added that there were many addi-
tional sources of revenue which Just
iy could be resorted to without hamp-
ering the industries of the country or
putting any too great charge upon in
dividual expenditure. He estimated
that one per cent. tax per gallon on
gasoline and naptha would yield s10.-
100000; tax of so cents per horse
power on automobiles and internal ex-
plosion engines, $15,O00,O 900; a stamp
tax on bank checks, probably SIS, O0O,-

$1O,OO0,OOo.
The President said there was sea-
son to hope that no question in con-
troversy between this and other gov
eminent would lead to any serious
breach of amicable relations, and that
he was sorry to say that the greatest
threats against national peace and
safety had been uttered within the
country's own borders.
Transportation Problem Touched On
Turning to military questions, the
president said he might find it advisa-
BILE to call into systematic consulta-
ton with the directing officers of the
army and navy, men of recognized
amility who are famility, for example,
with the transportation facilities Of
the country, and therefore competent
to advise how they may be co-ordinat-
cd when the need arises those who
ean suggest the best way to bring the
technical skill of the country to the
aid of the government in the solution
of problems of defense He said he
might later ask congress for an ap-
preparation to defray the expenses of
such work.
Regarding the railroads, the presi-
Gent said there har been reason to
fear that they could not cope much
longer with the transportation prob
lchm, and suggested it would be wise
tc provide for a commission of inquiry
to ascertain whether the laws as at

UT YOU BELIEVED In ME.

BUT YOU BELIEVED In ME.
When dreams were mornin-stung,
And every heartbeat flung
A challenge in the wind;
And when the purple end
Of every common road
Was Fortunes bright abode;
When every calling sea
Was shored with Already,
was so foolish young
But you believed in me!
When dreams were burned from gold
To gray, and manifold
Gaunt figures haunted there,
And ghosts were everywhere;
When Hope, with withered wing,
Could neither soar nor sing;
When Trust was Treachery,
And God has ceased to be!
My blood was clammy cold
But you believed in me!
Your faith has built the fears,
The wreckage and the tears
To daring dreams again.

Knew well, my dear, that you
Could build me back so true,
And cause my will to be
So strong that even He
Could trust me through the years
Could trust me through the years

tie regulation of the railroads by fed

whether there was anything else to be
done to better the conditions under
which the railroads are operating.

PHOENIX STUDENT GETS
COURT JOB IN APACHE

The LamSon Business College re-
.eiVe,l 4 letter yesterday from Gregory
Garcia at st. Johns. Arizona, stating
that he had been appointed official
court reporter of the superior court of
Apache county after passing success
cully a rigid examination. There would
be nothing remarkable about a Lansor
business College student being APP
pointed official court reporter. as sew
raj are already holding such positions
n different parts of the United States,
but the remarkable circumstance in
this case is that Gregory Garcia did not
begin the study of shorthand until he
entered the Lamson Business College
last March. Still more remarkable, he
was short Of money and was obliged to
work while attending school. to pay
part of his expenses. He WAS good
musician and was employed two or
three evenings per week most Of the
time while in school. He was also a
member of the First Regiment band.
There are probably very few, possibly
none, who have made the same amount
of progress in shorthand in the same
length Of time.
