GREEK PREMIER
 HAS RESIGNED
King Constantine Refused to support Premier VenizOlas in His
 War Policy.

PARIS, Oct. GA dispatch receiv- ess here from the Havas News agency in Athens, says that Premier Venizo- las, has broken with King Constan- tine of Greece and has resigned from the cabinet. His resignation is be- heved to be due to the fact that King Constantine is strenuously opposed to his country entering the war and has refused to support the policy of the premier.
 Premier Venizolas, who is strong advocate of militarism, resigned last ssring. but was returned to power by the election held last July. He has heen insistent that Greece enter the war in order that she might secure territorial concession from the Allies sollowing the division of European faskey.
 If is believed that the resignation of the premier will cause internal dis sensipn throughout the kingdom as the populace are clamoring for war. Greece is under martial law and the railroads have been taken over by the government for the mobilization of troops, but it is still believed possl- ble that King Constantine may yet preyent his armies from engaging in the struggle against the Teutonic in vasiDn of Serbia.

POS1OFF|CE ID BE:
 IN kANN|Tz BLOCK
Department Has Accepted His Bid for Housing Postoffice for Next
 Ten Years.

The Valdez postotfice for the next ten years will be located in the Otto Kanitz building, corner of Mckinley and Broadway streets. At least that ceived from the department by Post master Jefferson this morning.
 The announcement that the govern ment has decided to rent quarters for the postoffice rather than build to re- place the office destroyed by the fire. is disappointment to the people of Valdez, as it was hoped that the gov ernment would erect a building on the former site Of the postoffice which would house both the offices of the Alaska Road commission and the postoff1ce.
 The selection of the Kanitz build ing as a home for the postoffice will meet with the approval of citizens generally as it is centrally located, be- ing in the heart of town. The loca- tion of the building, extending as it does down Broadway affords conve- nience in transferring mails to and from the wagons.
 The proprietor of the building has contracted to fit up the building as required by the department and it is estimated that the expense of install- ing boxes and other fixtures will ap- proximate $2000. The only fixture saved from the fire was the big safe which the government owned. The safe only requires painting to be as good as new.
 When Inspector Neil was in Valdez some time ago he conferred with several property owners in regard to securing their buildings for the post office and it is believed that there were several bids for the contract of the postoff1ce.

Figures Deficit Less.

Senator Simmons. chairman of the COM
mittee on finance, who has been making
an inquiry into the condition Of the ma
tional revenues. last Saturday took issue
with those who have been asserting the
deficit would amount to upward Of $780,
100000 After careful inquiry and con-
ference with Treasury officials. Mr., Sim
mons fixed the deficit at the end Of the
current fiscal year at only $26,000,000.
Following Is a statement issued by the
chairman Of the finance committee:
There have been so many conflicting
and misstatements with reference to the
probable deficit in the revenues for the
fiscal year, some newspapers and persons
placing the probable deficit at 100000
600, some at l25,O00,0 900. and some as
high as $l30.000,000. l have thought it
well to look thoroughly into the situation
with view to ascertaining what were the
real facts
During the past week have been closely
investigating this matter in conference
with officials of the Treasury Department
and as a result Of those investigations and
conferences feel safe in saying that the
probable deficit will not. if any, much ex-
eeed $26,00O,000. OF course. this does
not include the expenditures on account of
the Panama Canal. These expenses are
otherwise provided for by law. and are
not required to be paid out Of the current
funds Of the government. The following
statement shows the basis upon which
this calculation has been made and the
result reached:
1.-THE estimated receipts of the govern
rnent from all sources as made in Septem-
Der. 1918. were as follows: From customs.
SEAS. 100000; internal revenue, $685.
100000; corporation and income tax,
Sl22, 100000; miscellaneous, 100000

fallen below the estimate, due to depressed
business conditions on account of the war
in Europe.
Although the revenue derived from in
ternal revenue tax probably will be in
creased by the emergency revenue act
over the estimates by about $4,000. 900,
there is at the present time, March IS.
1915. an excess Of ordinary expenditures
over receipts of approximately $85.000.-
900 against a deficit of $24,000,000 on
the same date last year.
THE estimated receipts for the remand
er OF the fiscal year are as follows From
customs. $72.000,000; internal revenue.
$97 100000; corporation and income tax,
$76,000,000 miscellaneous receipts, $751;
100000; total, $266, 100000
THE ordinary disbursements will amount
to $207,000.00O.
IAN excess of receipts over expenditures
for the remainder Of the year of $50. 000,-
900, show a net deficit at the end of the
fiscal year of about S26,000,000.
"The increases are due in part to the
normal growth Of the government, and in
part to conditions arising out of the Euro
pean war and the abnormal conditions in
Mexico.
when the fact that the income tax is
not required by law to be paid until about
the end Of the fiscal year Dune 30). and
that the bulk of this tax is not in fact paid
until about the end of the fiscal year is con.
sidered, the circumstances of an excess Of
disbursements over receipts for the first
half of the year, and an excess of receipt:
over disbursements during the last half
will be readily understood; and it will also
be apparent that any estimate based upor
the assumption that the proportion of the
receipts and disbursements will be the
same during the second half of the yea
as during the first half is both misleadin,
and erroneous"

Says The State Loses On Insane
Patients.

Secretary William H. Davenport of the
Board Of State Aid and Charities recently
expressed the opinion that the State OF
Maryland annually loses a considerable
sum Of money-probably as much as $751;
600 or 0.000-through its failure to
make proper provision for collecting from
the inmates of the State hospitals for
the insane part or all of the cost Of
their maintenance.
AT the present time in Maryland" said
Mr.. Davenport, 1.-THE expenses Of the State
hospitals are borne, approximately, one
half by the counties and one-half by the
State. To be more specific, each county
or the city of Baltimore is charged 500 a
year for each of its citizens maintained
as patient in one or the other of the
State hospitals. The balance of the cost
is paid by the State. This usually amounts
to approximately 500 year, as the av-
erage cost of maintenance per capita in
our State hospitals is in the neiehborhood
of $500.
While most of these patients are indi-
gent, yet, since the hospitals have i'm
proved their grade Of work and are doing.
practically as good work as is done in the
private institutions, better class of pa
tients apply for admission. We, therefore,
now have a considerable number of pa
tients in the hospitals who aye able to pay
for their own maintenance.
According to law, the estate OF pa
tient in one of the hospitals is supposed
to reimburse the county or the city, as the
case may be, for the amount paid by ii
for the patients maintenance, provided
the patiss; has no heirs or relatives de-
pendent upon the estate for support. To
a limited extent this is done.
Baltimore city, for instance, collects
