WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81.
The democratic leaders of con-
gress have announced the need of
additional revenues amounting to
more than s650,0O0,000, which
they propose to meet in part by
the issue of $431, 100000 worth
of interest bearing securities.
How this stupendous sum can
be secured, and indeed whether it
is necessary and should be paid
by the American people, can be
judged only in the light of what
this congress is spending the ma
tons revenues for.
