Deficit Worries.

The steadily increasing deficit is an
occasion Of serious anxiety to the
White House. Since July list Uncle
Sans expenses have exceeded his re-
ceipts by s2s.soo,00 During the
same period of last year, the excess
was only s15.60OOoo. Competent ex-
perts are convinced that without spe-
cial taxation the expenses for the
year will exceed the receipts by
S100.000,00 Secretary McAdoo says
he is not worrying. There is no
country on the globe more able to pay
more taxes than the United States.
if our expenses are to be increased"
from his vacation in Maine. But the
President and others of his advisers
are worrying because they realize that
the imposition of further taxes will
make the administration unpopular.
The experts believe the administra-
ton will have to sell bonds to make
good this deficit. even without any in
creased expenditures for national de-
Tense. While the failure of the Tn
derwood bill as revenue producer is
largely responsible for the serious
condition of the treasury. another po-
tent cause is the reckless extrava-
gance with which the Democrats have
been spending money for junkets,
special commissions, etc. One of
these commissions is described as
having been so reckless in placing
contracts that one man, an expert ac-
countant and worthy Democrat, is
making 800 a day net profit on his
contract.
Maine Democrats are also said to
be worrying about deficit"
