PLAN FOR PROVIDING MEANS

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-For the first time in
American history, ordinary receipts
of the treasury have passed the bill
lion-do.lar mark in a fiscal year.
The great sum has been anticipated
however, in the plan for raising wal
revenues, and it does moi alter the ad'
ministratiOn plans for taxation, as all
the available money from all sources
will be needed.
Up to June 20 the taf0l was $l,0l5,'
3Sl.S17 as compared wi tG66, 4O0, 1853
a year ago, an increS of approx
mately $4,000, 900.
The bulk of the HI rease is
due to increased incOme Rxes and
earlier payments. A total dl 1894, &c.
27S has been coll cited thuser this
fiscal year.
The next lar.rest item is from other
Internal reven, totaling approx
mately $425,oOOy an Increase of
about $50, ooo, oOO' o93f last year.
Customs receipts show a total thus
far of $217,57s,40S an increase of APP
proximately $4,000, 900.
On Monday approximately SAL, 800
600 was received at the treasury, the
largest day of the year thus far.
Tobacco yielded more than $780,
100000 revenue this year. The lear
est approach to this figure was last
years revenue of approximately $685.
100000. A large part of the fifteen
per cent. increase is believed due to
the growing popularity of cigarettes
among women.
High tide Of whisky and beer reve-
u receipts-and presumably con-
sumption-in the United States also
was reached during the year.
Revenue collected on whisky thus
far in the fiscal year is approximate
~ $17S, 900, 900, a record for any year,
and 1874, 600, 900 on beer.

Hoover Tells Senators Loot Of Food
Spectators Is $50, 1000, 900 Month.

Washington.-Food spectators have
been taking $50,O00,000 a month for
the last five months-a total Of a
quarter of a billion dollars-from the
American people, Herbert c. Hoover
told senators in explaining the pur-
pose of the food control bin before
Congress.
Disclaiming entirely that the bill
sets up a food dictatorship, Mr.. Hoov-
er told senators its purposes were en-
tirely to organize the resources Of the
country and the people themselves
into a food administration to limit
middlemen's commissions and prevent
extortion.
The price of flour should not have
been over 80 a barrel" he said, yet
it averages $14. In the last five
months $3.50 900 900 has been extract
ed from the American consumer in
excess of normal profits of manufac-
turers and distributors"
Not a single national trade associa-
ton, Hoover told the senators, is op-
posed to the food control bill.

RUSSIA IN war TO END
ROOT DELIVERS STIRRING MES
SAGE TO OFFICIALS.
TWO Nations, Hand-in-Hand, to Fight
Against Kaiser for Liberty and
Happiness Of the World.

P%etrograd, June 1S.-A stirring proc
lamation placing the Council of Work
men and Soldiers delegates on record
as irrevocably opposed to a. separate
peace was adopted by the council.
The proclamation was prompted by
Austrian efforts to lure Russia into a
separate peace.
Petrograd.-"The Russian people
consider war inevitable and will n
tinue it. The Russians have no i'm
perialistic wishes. We know that you
have none. We shall fight together
to secure liberty, freedom and happi-
moss for all the world. l am happy
to say that l do not see any moral idea
or factor between America and Rus
STA to divide US. We two peoples
Russia fighting tyranny and America
standing as the Oldest democracy
hand in hand will show the way OF
happiness to nations great and small"
These ringing words, expressing the
attitude of the Russian government
toward America and the American
mission headed by Elihu Root, were
voiced by M. T~ereschtenko, minister
of foreign affairs, responding for the
Council of Ministers to Mr.. Roots ad-
dress of sympathy and good will on
the part of the American government.
The American ambassador, David
R. Francis, presented tue Root mis-
sion to the ministers in Marinsky pal
ace, explaining that the members OF
the mission had come to Russia to
discover how America can best CO.
operate with its ally in forwarding the
fight against the common enemy.
The ministers listened with rapt
attention to Mr.. Roots address, which
was an impressive %utterance both in
substance and manner.
M. Tereschtenko rose from a sick
bed to attend the presentation. He
said that Russia's revolution was
based on the wonderful words uttered
by America in 1776. He read part OF
the declaration of independence and
exclaimed: Russia holds with the
United States that all men are Great
ed free and equal"
M. Tereschtenko sketched the his
tory of the Russian revolution briefly,
saying that the Russians, enslaved for
c~enturies, threw off all the old order
lust as the wind blows autumn leaves
from the forest.
Russia now faces two problems, said
the minister, the necessity Of creating
a strong democratic force within its
boundaries and the fighting of an ex-
ternal foe. Then he declared for war
and expressed unbounded confidence
in the power of Russia to meet the
situation. -
Petrograd.-The Duma. in secret
session, passed a resolution for an
immediate offensive by the Russian
troops. The resolution declares a sep
arate peace with Germany or pro-
longed inactivity on the battle front
to be ignoble treason toward Russia's
allies. The first act Of the pan-Rus-
sian congress of all councils of work
mems and soldiers delegates. upon
which depends that immediate destiny
of Russia in regard to both interna.
tional and domestic questions, was to
ratify the expulsion Of the provisional
government of the Swiss Socialist,
Robert Grimm, who is reported to
have been the medium through which
the Germans attempted to arrange a
separate peace with Russia.
