additional taxation when he was fig
uring on an increase in preparedness
appropriations Of only from S90.O00,-
600 to 100000, 900, il is apparent that
S4o0-00O,000 is now the amount re-
quired, based on the assumption hat
Mr.. McAdoo's figures is accurate.
Deiucting 205.OO0.O00 which the
pending revenue bill is expected TO
raise from S45O. .0O0.0 900 which Mr.. Nc
Adoo's figures would indicate will
have to be raised. leaves a balance of
S245. .O0O. 900 for the raising OF which
no step has been taken.
Mr.. McAdoo's figures submitted To
the Ways and Means Committee indi-
Gated that the balance in the general
fund. exclusive OF disbursing officers
credits, probably would be S13500,-
600 at the close of the present fiscal
year. June 30, 1917. This indicated
that Mr.. McAdoo figured as closely as
he dared in estimating the amount to
be raised in addition. The heavy cost
of the Mexican expedition and calling
the troops to the border is not figured
against Mr.. McAdoo's calculations
because It is proposed to take care OF
these expenses entirely by a bond is
sue.
Il must be understood that Mr.. Nc
Adoo furnished his figures to the con-
mittee after careful examination ol
all normal and extraordinary receipts
and with a very clear understanding
of what the appropriations other than
those for preparedness would be
Since that time there has been nc
pruning of any appropriation which
might to some small degree Offset the
big increase in the preparedness ap'
propriat.ons. On the contrary, Con
gress has passed and President viii
son has signed a rivers and harbor'
pork barrel bill s13,000,O00 larger
than last year, while thousands oi
additional employees have been addct

NAVY MUST WAIT
OR Taxes CO UP
If Ships Are Built This
Year $245,OOO,OOO Levy
Must be Made
M'ADOO'S FIGURES
SHOW BIG DEFICIT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Either the
Administration is holding off until af-
ter election before imposing S245,000,-
600 Of taxes in addition to those now
being considered by Congress, or II
has 10 intention Of laying the keels
OF the ships just authorized until az.
ter June 80. 1917. If Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo's own figures Sre 10
be believed.
The huge income, inheritance and
other special taxes proposed by the
Administration will fall far short OF
meeting the Governments expendi-
lures during the present fiscal year.
Even when the Sl30,000.000 bond is
sue is counted In. a deficit Of about
S245.000000 must be met In some
way prior TO June 80. 1917. This is
clearly shown by comparing present
figures with Secretary McAdoos state
ment 70 the House Ways and Means
Committee two months ago.
The only escape from the possibil-
ity OF there being no money In the
Treasury while the Government has
more than s100,000O0O floating debt
les in a contingency which no friend
Of the Administration will admit is
misunderstanding the construction
OF the the new ships authorized for
the navy until after the end OF the
present fiscal year There is a pro-
vision in the naval bill now awaiting
the Presidents signature that con-
tracts for the ships must be let with
IN six months after the bill becomes
a law. whether the ships be built in
private or government yards.
Hope Republicans Are Right
Friends OF preparedness are hoping
that the Republicans who have beer
studying this question are right In
their belief that the Administration is
waiting until after election to levy
even heavier taxes. which ~ does nod
impose at present for fear OF political
consequences.
Before the House Ways and Means
Committee Mr. McAdoo. Just prior tC
the passage OF the preparedness pro
gram, stated that Il was necessary
to raise S15O.000,O0O by new forms o
taxation. At that time Mr.. McAdrc
was strongly opposed 10 any bond Is
sue. Since then lie mas consented t'
the issue Of bonds sufficient to covei
the cost Of the troops in Mexico anC
the mobilization OF the militia on thu
border. estimated up TO December 81
at $3.50 600 900. and to June 80, fol
lowing SS6.O00,O0O more.
Mr.. McAdoo estimated that the ad
ditional cost Of preparedness durinl
this hscal year over last year woul
be from s90,000.000 TO s100000,00C
The actual increase over last year
preparedness appropriations is 1884,
100000. This figure Is obtained b,
adding up the increases in four pre-
paredness appropriation bills as cite'
in a majority report OF the Senate Fl
nance Committee on the revenue bill
These are: Navy, s167 100000; army
S166 100000 fortihcations, 100000,
600; deficiency. s41,0Oo000.
Must Raise Extra Si50,000.000.
Thus the actual preparedness OK

GOING TO WASHINGTON

Huron. Jan. 6.-R. O. Richards an
nounced today that his lawyers will go
to Washington in a few days to make a
motion to have the primary election law
case advanced on thess calendar, because
it is a public business. Mr.. Richards
said he hoped for an early and favora-
BILE decision from the United States su-
preme court; because Section Four of
Article -Four of United States constitu-
tion guaranteed republican form of gov
eminent to each state. Also because
the South Dakota supreme court, by
its decision in the Richards primary ell
ection law case, has given the power to
the legislature to repeal an initiated
law adopted by a direct vote of the
people and subjected such repeating
law to the referendum, and has thereby
established TO co ordinate and antagon-
istic law making bodies. each with
power to undo the work of the other.
Thus entirely destroying stability of
republican form of government there
being no supremacy Of power of legis-
lation.

The committees first task is to fnd
the blind sufferers. some of whom are
marooned in improvised hospitals,
farm houses or chateaux, and many of.
whom are c~ongregatcd in the large hos

these blind soldiers. and for those 9th
erwise physically able it starts the task
of putting eyes Oh their finger tips
and giving them light through work.
The ministry of war has just given a.
special building to be used entirely for
the instruction Of the s.!ind. Many
blind teachers have come forward and
offered their services to Miss Holt to
serve under her guidance. A class in
instruction is held every morning in
one of the large hotels. The men come
here to start their lives over again.
