REVENUE BILL
IS Reported OUT
Designed TO Yield $2OO,OOO-
600 More From Incomes,
lnheritanceS and Munitions
HOUSE TO PASS
1T ON MONDAY

WASHINGTON July 6.-The ad-
minisration general revenue bill. de-
signed TO produce about S2OG,0OO,OOO
additional from increased suriax on
incomes and from taxes on inheri-
tances and war munitions profits, was
tavorably reported yesterday by the
House ways and means committee,
and probably will be passed by the
House next Monday.
Two Republican members Of the
cOmmittee-LOngwOrth, of Ohio and
Gardner, of Massachusetts, - voted
with the Democrats for a favorable
report. but reserved the right to ex-
press during debate in the House
their objections to the methods Of
the majority in framing the measure.
Two other Republican committeeman
Green. Of Iowa. and Sloan. of Ne
braska-while they voted against re-
porting the bill gave notice that they
expected to support it on the final roll
call.
General debate is expected to be-
gin Thursday under a special rule
providing for a final vote before ad-
journment Monday. That plan was
definitely agreed on during the day
by House leaders.
The committee report says that the
necessity for revenue legislation
grows out OF the extraordinary in
crease in the appropriations for the
army and navy and Notifications of
our country"
Fiscal Situation Summarized.
The fiscal situation is summarized
in this way:
Estimated excess Of disbursements
over receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1917, 1856, ,922 O00 addi-
! tional receipts under the proposed
bill, income tax $107.OO0,000 estate
tax Sl7,000,000. and it is estimated
that the annual receipts from the es-
tate tax will amount to S54.O0O.000
when the law is in full operation; mu-
nitions manufacturers tax S71 .O00.-
600; miscellaneous taxes. S2,0OO,000
total additional receipts. S197, 100000
Balance TO be taken from general
fund, S69.922,OOO.
Fortunately the balance in the
general fund June 80. 1916. was much
larger than at the end of any fiscal
year since 1908. After deduct'ng S59.-
OOO,OOO for disbursing officers bal
ances there remained in this fund over
S177 ,0000 900. After deducting S69,-
| $4,000 from this fund as above. there
will still remain June 30. 1917, in the
general fund over S10O.OO0.00O. ex-
elusive of the disbursing officers bal
ances.
1T is estimated that the total ap-
preparations for the fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1917, will not exceed
! S1,579.000,00O. This includes s125.-
100000 to meet the extraordinary ex-
penses or disbursements occasioned
by the Mexican situation. This and
any other appropriations that may
be necessary to meet the abnormal
and extraordinary expenses which
may be incurred on such account

GREAT PREHISTORIC LAKE

The large prehistoric lake which flooded a number of the valleys or northwestern Nevada at 8 very re cent geologic date but has now passed away wa named Lake La hontan. in honor of Baron La Hon. tan. one Of the early explorers of the headwaters of the Mississippi. The lake covered approximately s, 400 square miles at it's greatest ex- pansion. and in it's deepest part, the present site Of Pyramid Lake, it was at least SS0 feet deep-that Is. its surface stood approximately 800 feet above the present water surface of Pyramid Lake. The an- ciens lake had 10 outlet except the one that led straight up. it's waters being disSipated entirely by evapo- ration.
 4 large aerea 3 few miles north Of Winnemucca Is covered with sand dunes formed since the dis appearance Of Lake Lahontan. The dunes are fully 75 feet thick, and their sleeper slopes are on the east side, thus indicating that the whole vast field of sand IS slowly travel ing eastward. This progress has aecesSitated Q number of changes in the roads in the southern part of Little Humboldt Valley during recent years. In some places in .his region the telegraph poles have been buried so deeply that they have had b be splieed in order to keep the wires above the crests Of the dunes. The sand IS of a light creamy yellow color and forms ] beautifully curved ridges and waves that are covered with 2 fretwork Of wind nipples, and many of these ridges are marked in the most cur ious manner by footprints of ani- naals. which form strange hiero- glyphices that are sometimes diff ticult to translate.
