This will be followed by the list OF

TO MAKE UP Our DEFICIT

IL is announced that Uncle Sam has
a deficit Of S65, 900, 900 in his treasury,
which deficit is likely TO grow. and il
is probable that we shall soon have
the scrappers at Washington divided
on increasing income by issuing bonds
or by higher tariff schedules.
In favor of higher schedules will
be found all those who urge that
there's only one possible way to get to
prosperity or 10 heaven and that's by
foOling ours ~es into thinking that it's
the foreigner who pays the tax.
In favor OF issue of bonds, it may
be said that If Uncle Sam gees
through the distress of the war with
out borrowing money, he'll be about
the only party who does. The admin
istration forced TO issue bonds usu-
ally comes in for much odium but il
is doubtful if this holds good in the
present instance. A good many solid
concerns have had to borrow of late,
and the general conditions are with
out precedent.
Comparing assets. this nation has
been a small borrower among ma
tions. not big one Considering that
in both instances the people put UP
the cash. there's nothipg more odious
or disgraceful in a government bond
than in a high tariff schedule

trouble is to find workers enough to
