Wasting the Peoples Money.

AS the fiscal year draws 10 an enu Ihe
effects of the Federal administration s
financial n1ismanagement stand out more
and more clearly. They can no longer be
covered up by vague assurances that
things are going to take a turn for the
better before June 80 next.
About a month ago Senator Simmons,
the chairman of the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, gave out soothing state
ment intended to Offset the harsh crltl-
cism of the administrations spendthrift
policy INDUCED in by Mr.. Fitzgerald, the
chairman of the Appropriations Commit
tee of the House Of Representatives. The
North Carolina Senator admitted that in
spite of the additional internal revenue
taxes imposed by Congress to take effect
on December l, 1914, the Treasury had,
from July /, 1914, to March 10, 1915, run
behind S86,269,OOO. Comparing this
years operations with those Of 1914,
the loss averaged about 100000 a
month. since on March 10, 1914, there was
a net deficit of about S23,OO0,000. Adopt
ing the familiar psychological" method,
the Senator contended that the ratio of
loss would certainly decline in the last
quarter of the year, covering April, May
and June.
1t has not declined so far, since on April
"A the excess of ordinary expenditures
over ordinary receipts stood at $lOO,O33,-
600. and the loss, compared with the year
preceding, was $7O,O0O,000 for ten months
still $1,000 900 a month. Yesterday We
administration grew optimistic again and
published a statement estimating the sum
to be collected this year from income taxa
ton at $8OOOO,OOO. But even if $780,
600. 900 comes in before June 80 on the in
come tax account it will have to Offset
an excess Of expenditure OF about S114,-
100000, and there will be e S34,OOO,OOO
deficit.
Last year there was a surplus of $685.
784, 900, so that the Treasury will have
been set back in one year about S67,-
100000. 1t would have been set back
nearly 9oU,OOO,OOO II tlIC BONN4 iiillCIl'
hadn't sold the battleships Idaho and Mis-
sssippi to Greece. Next year, unless the
emergency internal revenue taxes are re-
enacted and still other taxes are imposed
there may be a deficit of more than
S5O,OOO,OOO.
Economy has never interested President
Wilson. He made no protest whatever
when the last Congress increased expendi-
lures by S113,O00,OOO. Now he and his
party face the necessity of either bor-
rowing money on which to run the gov
eminent or levying still more taxes. Next
year is a Presidential year. Boosting tax
alton to cover over reckless expenditure
will be no more popular with the country
at large than it is going to be in this
state, where our own Legislature has I'M
fortunately followed the spcndthrift ex-
ample of Congress.

Poppy Growing in China.
>lFron me Saturday Rerictcl

>,Frorn The Saturday Reuietc)
/ There is a good deal of human nature
about Chinaman. There can be no doubt
that the cessation of poppy cultivation would
not have been possible if it had not received
popular support. Chinese farmers have been
known to take their implements TO the man
DARN and refuse TO work because a compare
lively small tax, which they thought unjust,
had been levied upon them. The suppression
Of poppy growing must have caused great
and widespread loss in large agricultural dis
tricts. Farmers have been beaten or con-
demned 20 wear the cangue. Crops have been
destroyed everywhere without a dream of
compensation. Yet the people have suffered
it always with this qualification that if they
could evade the government il was the gov
ernment's own lookout 1t is at this point
when the humanity, and humor of the China
man becomes apparent In one place Sir
Alexander Hose finds crop OF peoples, all
showing the marks of having been tapped for
crude opium, lurking beneath the shade Of
pea stalks. In another case, when the farm
ers heard that the Project came their way
they FASTENED 10 plough up the poppy fields
lying along the high road and likely to meet
the Official eye. The Project, however, was
no fool. He came by by-path, with results
disastrous 70 the farmer. They lost all their
crops! Another Project was still more dra-
comic In his administration. "Hs method
was simple. He summoned the headmen Of
the place where the poppy had been sown,
cangued them, and sent word TO the places
concerned that unless poppy plants were up
rooted by certain date it would be his pain
full duty TO beat their headmen." The threat
was sufficient, and the poppy was destroyed
in the whole prefecture

Chlorine as a Weapon.

The "Frankfurter Zeitung" complains
that at Neuve Chapele the British made
an inferno of the German trenches with
their guns and mortars, and wonders
what possible objection there can be 10
the use Of a poisonous gas which obtains
its ends more quickly" There is no dis
position here, or, indeed, in any other
quarter. TO deny that gas was used, the
only point in doubt being what gas.
According to one of the earlier reports,
it was carbon monoxde. All the circum-
stances point, however, to chlorine. This
Gas is highly poisonous to both AMI
nal and vegetable life, and even when
very much diluted with air is extremely
destructive to the mucous surfaces. In
manufacturing the so-called Chloride OF
lime" or "bleaching lime" the floors OF
large chambers which can be tightly
closed are covered with lime, and into
these the chlorine Is admitted until no
further absorption takes place. AS me
compound is unstable, workmen handling
it have their noses and mouths suitably
protected, but to enter a chamber where
much Of the gas is present 1t is necessary
to wear a helmet resembling the KIND
used by divers. 1t was remarked, by the
way. in one of the dispatches that such
helmets were worn by the Germans who
first approached the trenches evacuated
after treatment by gas.
It was Faraday who first liquef1ed chlor-
inc. andi it may be noted that this was the
first gas ever liquefied. 1t is apparently In
this form that the gas is used by the Ger
mans. When it is allowed to escape in
considerable quantities from the cylinders
in which it is highly compressed chlorine
is easily detected in the form of yellowish
green cloud. AS it is more than two and
a half times heavier than the air, 1t is
obvious that there would be no escaping
it by lying down in the trenches, for 1t
would simply pour in and fill them. For
this reason chlorine would clearly be more
serviceabe than carbon monoxide, which
is of about the same density as the air
and would probably not carry so effectively
for a long distance. On the other side,
carbon monoxide would have the advan-
tage of invisibility, and having little or
no odor, besides being non-corrosive, it
would be impossible to detect its presence
except by its poisonous effect, depending
upon the formation Of definite compound
with the hRmoglobin of the blood. 1t is
this difficulty Of detection that explains
the use of canaries in mines.
The yellow smoke" referred to in so
many of the dispatches, not to mention
such symptoms as coughing, splitting blood
etc, leaves little doubt, however, that
chlorine is the gas that has done so much
havoc of late. The Germans for some years
have been working up an industry in
liquefed chlorine, probably without any
thought of the excellent uses to which it
was shortly to be turned.
