Bond Issue Not Considered.

There was no consideration given to the

finance. Methods of raising revenue

the Secretary Of the Treasury at his
discretion, without necessity of further
authorization by Congress.

of the fiscal year, was made six weeks
ago. 1t was figured that there would be

income tax. 1t is estimated. will ex-

estimate of $s5, 100000. The internal
revenues generally are far in excess of
estimate, as are the customs revenues.
