 To render the customs service more efficient, it was suggested that a com plete revision be made of customs laws, eliminating certain officials and combining duties.
 The international high commission. Secretary McAdoo said, has done ex- cellent work in arranging economic and financial transactions between the United States and South American countries, and s25.000 should be ap- propriated for it's continuance.

UNION STREET CAR
 MEN REQUEST AID
 OF MEDIATION BOARD
(By Review Leased Wire)

|. ST. PAUL, Dec. 5.-Hopeful of fed eral mediation in the dispute between the Twin City car lines and some of their employees. representatives of more than 200 local unions fate today voted to adjourn their convention and thus do away, temporarily at least. with the possibility of what would be in effect a general sympathetic strike,
 After telegraphing Secretary of War Baker that federal mediation would be welcome, the convention leaders decided to await his reply before putting into effect the proposed indefinite convention and the men were ordered to return to work to- morrow, subject to call December II. should differences not be settled to the carmen's satisfaction. In the meantime no demonstrations of any kind and no strike vote will be taken. according to J. M Clancy. president of the St. Paul trades and labor as- sembly.
 Dispatches from Washington indi- Cdltu lildl tuc nONAA consider action.
 It was said that the suggested in- definite convention" would result in tie-up of war industries of various sorts here. as we'll as the important shops of big transcontinental rail roads, and that the war department was directly interested in a settle ment of the troubles.
 The street car service was declared to be within 6S per cent of normal in the Twin Cities, though company of ficials admitted that 800 men had joined the walkout due to their re- fusal to abide by the safety .commis- sion's order directing the disuse of union buttons.
 Ten days ago the company locked out it's union employees by refusing cars to men who wore buttons.
 Some addresses described as fiery were made by speakers at today's meeting. who included representatives of the Non-Partisan league and May ors Van Lear of Minneapolis and IT win of St. Paul. All, however, eau toned the men against violence and no disorder of any kind was reportec to have followed the meeting.
 All saloons have been closed since yesterday afternoon. Home guards were on duty at car barns and other strategic points.

Annual Report of Secretary of Treasury Shows Estimat- ed Deficit of $7,627,973,- 9S0; War Expenses and Huge Loans Responsible.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Congress was informed by Secretary McAdoo in his annual report submitted today that S5,12S.203,793 must be provided in addition to funds from taxes and bond issues already authorized in order to make estimated receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918, equal to dis bursements. If this deficit is met by a new bond issue. the total amount of securities to be issued in the next seven months Is estimated at S9,969,- 433.s50.
 Fro the next fiscal year. ending June 30, 1919, the estimated excess of disbursements over receipts is $7,627,- 973,980.
 Huge war expenses and loans to Americas allies at the rate of half billion dollars a month have made these estimates many times larger than any ever presented in secretary of the treasury's annual report. Of the $12,316, 1000, 900 estimated ordinary ex- penditures for the year ending next June 30, s11, ,527 ,000, 900 is for war pur- poses. and the proportion is about the same for the fiscal year ending in 1919.
 Federal Reserve System Helps
 So far the nation has borne the if nancial burdens of the war well, says Secretary McAdoo, owing to healthy business conditions, and the valuable aid of the established federal reserve system. In the future, however. in ' creasingiy greater habits of economy must be developed by individuals and business institutions, the secretary de clares, and business as usual" can not be adopted as the guiding princi- pie of the war People must save and invest in government securities to avoid postponing victory.
 With this admonition, MT. McAdoo proceeds to cite the enormous figures of government receipts and expendi- lures which are the fruit of war times.
 Total estimated receipts for the cur rent fiscal year are S12,5S0, ,732, 800, which, with balance in the treasury last June 30 of S1.O66, ,9S3,361, makes a total of s13.s47. .716,161. Most of the receipts, or ss,6s6, ,0OGOOO, are from sales of bonds and war savings cer- tificates; ordinary receipts are S3,SS6,- 00,000, largely from war taxes, and the Panama canal income is S7,000,- GOO.

FiUe Billion Dollars Must Be PrOUided h
 Addition to Taxes

Ordinary disbursements are esti- mated at S12,3l6,295,2 223; loans to al- lies in the year at $6,115, ,000, ,000: pub lie debt disbursements at SS2l ,O0O,- 900; and Panama canal expenses, S23.- 93,00O; making to:al estimated dis bursements $1S,775,919,955.
 Need Five Billions In order to allow for a balance in the general fund of about S500,000,0OO next June 30, congress must authorize raising of about S5,640,000, 900 addi- tional funds. This figure, together with the s3,666 ,000,00O of authorized but unissued Liberty bonds, and $663,- 000, ,000 estimated receipts from war savings, make the S9,969. .000, ,000 which MT. McAdoo believes Americans mus, loan the government between now and June 30, 1918.
 For the next fiscal year, ending June 30, 1919. the secretary estimated re- eeipts at s5,176. 1000. 900, and disburse- ments at s12,S04, ,034. 40. exclusive of allied loans. This makes a S7,627 ,000, : 900 excess of disbursement. If the present rate of loans to allies is con tinued in the 191S1919 fiscal year, 5000, 900, ,OO0 additional would be re- Quired. Els .imated interest on bonds to be issued that year is S3S5,000, 900. and estimated expense of floating the bond issue s2S,000,000.
 Thus if the deficit is to be met by bonds, s14,O4O, 100000 worth must be floated between July l, 1918 and June | 30. 1919, in addition to receipts flom war savings.
 Figures Estimated While these figures represen. the i situation as it appears today" the secretary says, it should be borne in mind that the exigencies of the future may cause changes, particularly with regard to the es inmates for the war and navy departments" The esti- mates on which the secretary bases his figures are made by the various government departments. The outstanding fact apparent from these stupendous figures is that the cost of the war to the American peo- pie, including allied loans, for the two Ayears ending June 30, 1919. will be at least $36, 100000.
 To the great task facing the coun- ! try, Secretary McAdoo calls the people with these words:
 People Must Economize
 What is of superlative importance in the readjustment tha. must take place is that our people shall be I'm. pressed with the necessity of econo- mixing in the consumption of articles of clothing, food and fuel, and of every other thing which constitutes a drain upon the available supplies, materials and resources of the country. Every. thing wasted now is little short of criminal.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-12-06

50 far as have been able to Ob- serve, the American people are not sufficiently aroused to the necessity of economy and of saving in this really serious time, not only in the life Of America. but of the nations of the world. Up to the present there has been a relatively small denial of pleasures, comforts and conveniences on the part of the average citizen. He is drawing upon the general store of supplies in the country with almost the same freedom as before America came in, Q the war. This cannot con tinue without serious hurt to the na- ton and to the world. The great finan- cial operations of the government can not be carried forward successfully unless the people of the United States economize in every possible direction, save their money and lend 1t to the government"
 Trace Dollar Loaned
 Tt is easy to visualize the course of a dollar saved from waste and invest ed in government bonds: First it goes to the government as a loan for the war; second, it is expended by the government for food clothing and am. intuition which go directly to a gal lant soldier or sailor whose fighting strength is kept up by the food. whose body is kept warm by the clothing and whose enemy Is hit by the am. munition. It has not been expended in the purchasing of needless food and clothing for the man at home, and is therefore released for the use of the soldier; it is saved wealth to the man at home and can be loaned ro his gov. ernment at interest, with resulting benefits to himself and to his govern. ment"
 Secretary McAdoo denounced pur chasers of Liberty bonds who sell their bonds when they do not imperatively need money.
 Wants Actual Loans It is by actually lending money to the government and not merely prom ising it and shifting the loan to some one else" he said that the citizen added, however, that he did not mean to discourage legitimate trading in government securities.
 MT. McAdoo expressed the hope that additional funds to be raised dur ing the balance of the war would be by bond issues rather than by taxation saying:
 Tt Is my earnest conviction that the general economy of the country should be permitted to readjust itself to the new revenue laws before considera tion should be given to the imposition of additional tax burdens"
 | Of the possibility that interest rate. on further Liberty bond issues nigh be raised, the secretary said:
 Oppose Increased Interest.
 If situation should develop where the government could not sell conver tible and partly tax exempt bonds up on per cent basis, it would, I be lieve, become necessary to seriousl, consider further revenue legislation In my judgment an increase in tn, rate of interest of such bonds would be extremely unwise and hurtful."
 Secretary McAdoo disclosed that h. intends to recommend to congress later in the session constructive ant
