dress by II. +. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor
pointed out the advantages of having
the highway pass through the county
and urged that fight be made to Sc
cure it.
A route for the highway had al
ready been passed on but il is thought
that IL the counties in the central
section will put up the necessary
money this route will eventually be
selected. The State and Federal
Government will bear portion of
the expenses of the road i'm each
county, the county putting up the re-
mainder. II is necessary for the
counties through which the road pass
es to guarantee to build their part OF
the road as allotted to them the first
year. It is mainly for the purpose
of raising the necessary guarantee
that the club was organized. AT

will extend from Paducah to Ashland
when completed, and will be In every
respect a modern highway.

OBTAINING a large number of neutral
ships in port. II is partial salts

the activity of its pirates against al

THIRD OF BILLION
DEFICIT fORESEEN
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS CHANGES IN
REVENUE BILL.

Washington, Feb. IA treas
ury deficit of s333, 100000 at the
ear of the next fiscal year is forecast
ed in report submitted to-day BY
the Senate Finance Committee, re-
commencing that the Administration
revenue bill be amended to authorize
a bond issue of $1s5.256,00o instead
OF 100000. 900, and that the au-
thorization for certificates of indebt-
edness be made s500,00o.o00 in
stead of $500, 100000.
The recommendation for increases
is based on revised Treasury Depart
ment estimates submitted to Con-
gress since the bill passed the House,
placing the Federal Governments
expenditures for the fiscal year 1918
at sl,4OO,O00.000. The committee
estimates that to meet this total and
provide working balance, the
amount which must be raised by
! bonds and new revenue legislation
is 900. This the COMMITTEES
proposes to raise as follows:
BY bond issues. For expenditures
on account of Mexican situation to
June so, 1917, s162,41S,000; for
construction OF Alaskan Railway TO
June so, 1918. s21, s3S,00O; for con-
structlon OF armor-plate plant, SILL
600 900; making a total bond issue
of $195. 200;
By new taxation: An excess pro-
fits tax, $4,000, 900; inheritance
Increases s22,O0O,0O0. making a to-
tai of SPAS, 900, 900 and q grand to-
tai from, new taxes and bonds OF
S443,256, 900, or ss,s56.oO0 in excess
of absolute needs.
In it's report the committee ex'
planned that the proposed authorize
ton to issue short-term certificates
of Indebtedness upto s500,0O0.00O
is for the purpose of tiding the treas
ury over until the new taxes come in
A large portion of the total revenues
of the Government now is payable
during the last month of the hsca
year. and probably more than $780,
O00. 200 of revenue would, in the
opinion OF the committee, be collect
ed during June. 1918.
"The income tax, the munitions
manufacturers tax and the excess
profits tax are all due and payable IL
June of each year" the report says
This is practically as much as viii

Prohibition Provision.

The sale of intoxicating liquors to
a member of the citizen army or ma
Wy while in uniform is forbidden, al
tho sale and use of such for medi-
cinal purposes Is possible under reg
ulation. Another feature Is that men
who have completed their training
would be entitled to wear a rosette
showing the class to which they be-
long.
officials of the general staff are in
clined to disprove the bill. particu-
larly because OF the six months train
ing period. They declare that even
the year minimum fixed in the staff
plan contemplated only fifty per cent
OF the efficiency of the average Eu-
ropean requirement for training.
The staff officers are inclined also
to feel that inadequate provision Is
made for training personnel. A force
OF 100000 men, they say, requires
minimum OF 1900 officers. at
least fifty per cent of whom must
be professional soldiers II anything
resembling intensive training is to
be given In six months. The full
commissioned strength of the regular
army. under the National defense
act. will be less than $4,000 officers,
and 1t is pointed out that IL 5000 Of
these were to be detached for train
ing purposes for six months out Of
each year. training of tho regulars
or any use of that force would be vir-
tually impossible. II is understood
that the stan bill takes these points
into consideration.
