FINANCIAL HISTORY
 OF AMERICA'S PART 
Treasury Dept, Announces Sec.
 MCAdOO'S Complete Report

Washington, Dee. 4.-Thc financial history of Americas part in the war is set forth by Secretary McAdoo in his annual report, drafted before his resignation and made public today by the Treasury. 1t is the history of how the American people paid billions m taxes, rased four great Liberty Loans and created tremendous pool of credit with which the Treasury, through it's many war agencies, paid tho bills of the army and navy. the shipping board and other government departments. loaned billions to the AL lies and millions to war industries, helped support the families of soldiers and sailors and tided farmers over pe- riods of financial stringency.
 'The payment into the Treasury ot vast sums in war taxes and from bond sales" said Secretary McAdoo, and the transformation of our varied and complex economic life to the supreme task of winning the war have been accomplished without shock or finan cial disturbance. The credit and bus mess structure of the nation remains sound and strong. The results of the } @oNl ANACSI y NOe1h0 1A C O tH1buIS Lo tho patriotism of the American people and to the economic strength of the nation"
 Civilians Second Ldne of Defense.
 The report constitutes SecretarS McAdoo's final accounting of his stewardship before retiring as the na- tion's finance minister. Throughout tho report. MT. McAdoo refers repeat Aedly to the remarkable achievements of Americas civilian population in providing the money and materials of war and acting as the eager second line of defense.'
 Commenting on the showing Of f. nancial arran gements in great detail by the document, Treasury librarians recalled the financial history of the Civil War is buried in a great stack of musty ledgers and probably never sFfll be officially compiled
 For the fifteen months ending last June 50 Secretary McAdoo estimated that the actual cost of the war, with allowances for the governments or- dlnaFy expenses i1 ordinary times amounted to $13,222, 2,OOO,O00. Nearly half of this, or S6,499, 100000, went Into permanent investments in the form of ships, shipyards, war vessels, army camps, buildings, and in loans ko Allies or to American war indus

tries. Of the years expenses 31.6 per cent. came from taxation.
 The civil esta blishment of the government during the year spent $1,5O7, 100000, while the war depart ment spent $5,684, 100000 and the navy $1,36S, S,000.000. For support of the army alone the government paid out $4,412. 100000. The naval eX- penditures included the construction of new vessels, machinery, arma- ment equipment and improvements at navy yards. Total ordinary dis bursements for the year amounted 10 8,966, ,000,000 and ordinary receipts, excluding money received from Lib erty loans, amounted to $4,174, ,oOo,- GOO. Loans to Allies during the year amounted to $4,739, 9,000,000 addi- tiOnal.
 Future Is More Uncertain.
 Looking forward, Secretary Mo- Adoo found great difficulty in fore- casting expenditures for the current fiscal year which ends next June 30. on account of the sudden coming of peace Estimates which he presented are based on calculations of each de- partment i1 advance of FevlSlons since the signing of the armistice and he does not consider them reliable. With this explanation MT. McAdoo forecasts expenditures for this year at $206S7, 100000 for government purposes and $4,375, 5,O00,000 for loans to Allies and s2,540,000,000 for re- demption of outstanding certificates and other debt cancellation. Total es- timated disbursements for the year were put at s27,71S,0 ,000.
 Against this estimate which actual expenses at the rate of 8 little more than billion and half dollars month to date, indicate is too high, MT. McAdoo calculated that the gov- ernment will receive about s5,000.- O0O,OO0 before the end of the fiscal year next June 30, from income and profits taxes $1,1oo. 100000 from other taxes, s190.o0e.000 from cus- toms and s555,o00,OO0 from miscel- laneous sources, including $70,oO0,- 900 from increased postage, making estimated receipts from ordinary sources 6,S46, ,000,000. In addition he figured roughly on a little more than 5000, 100000 from further is- sues of Liberty bonds and $1,2oo.ooo,- 900 from war savings. These figures added to receipts from Liberty loan bonds already sold mako $14,16S,O ,OO0,- 900 the total of popular borrowings expected during the year. On this basis total estimated receipts would be $21,022, 100000, or s6,695, 100000 less than tentative estimates of dis bursements. Actual developments are expected to change these calcu- lations greatly.
 % Americas Public Debt.
 The United States public debt last June 30 was $12,396, 100000, with out taking into consideration the $1,- 319, 100000 free balance in the treas ury to partially offset the debt. The public debt has been increased since then by the Fourth Liberty Loan of nearly s7,ooo, 100000 and by treasury certificates of indebtedness amount

 In July, 1917. Count Romanones was reported to have declared he be- lieved ths neutrality of Spain in the war was an error. Several months later he declared Spain should have joined the Entente against Germany. At all times he has been 8 vigorous supporter Of pro-asIied policy on the part of Spain.

Our Biggest stA

The more the suffrage victory in
Texas is studied the bigger.it grows.
Texas is the largest state in the
union. 1t covers 265,896 square
miles and has nearly four million
people. 1t is an empire in itself. Now
that it has been made wh1te on the
suffrages smapFthe great new eXpanse
'uf~ whiteness changes the whole as
pect of the map.
Texas is not only the largest state,
but one OF the farthest south. The
tradition of the South being solidly
opposed to women voting had al
ready been brilliantly broken by Ar
kansas, and now it has been com
pletely smashed by Texas.
The victory is also a fresh proof
Of the rapid change of sentiment that
is taking place on this question. At
the last national Democratic conven-
tion the Texas delegation was vehe-
ment in it's opposition to the suffrage
plank; and Governor Ferguson de-
clared that woman's subordinate
status had been setteld once for all
! by the method of her creation: she
| wns made from n rib! Since then
Governor Ferguson has been i'm
peached for misconduct in office, and
the new governor signed the suffrage
bill with cheerful promptitude. 1t
recalls Mrs. Nellie McClung's memoir
able words in regard to a Canadian
premier who said that he could
never change his mind about wom-
an suffrage: IF we cannot change
the premier's mind, we can change
the premier" A great deal OF wa
ter has run under the bridges within
the last two years; and the flow is
all one way. Now all over the coun-
try the suffragists are crying, Three
cheers for the Lone Star StateW

Outlook for Suffrage Amendment.

Outlook for Suffrage Amendment.
AS indicated by the senators and
representatives at Washington the
growth of opinion in favor of wo-
man suffrage among the people of
the United States is marked and it is
believed that appeals of their consti-
tuents to senator's who are due for
reelection this fall will be duly
weighed by them.
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin,
who recently took his seat in the sen.
ate, will support the amendment in
the senate as he did in the house. In
a statement he has just issued on the
subject he declares that the trend of
events. the conditions created by the
war and the growth of public senti-
ment in it's favor convince him that
the amendment should be submitted
to the States for ratification.

Bound to Come.

Personally speaking we favor
state rights in this as in other ques-
tions, but even as President Wilson
reversed himself concerning the fed
eral amendment measure and urged
favorable action by congress, the
Democrats of the South can do the
same without hurt to their con-
sciences or injury to their convic-
tions. The President knows it is
not an ethical question, but only one
of expediency in government. The
President knows that woman suf-
frage is bound to come. and the
sooner it comes, the sooner it will
render fully available the woman
power of the nation. This is no time
for idle discussion and useless wrang-
ling.
