The war department. wanted to sell
these unloaded grcnades for junk, but
the savings division of the treasury de-
.cidcd that the souvenir value of the po-
tential weapons was much moro than
them intrinsic value in peace times and
saw an opportunity at tho same time to

INCREASED TAXES
ARE NECESSARY
Unless There is the Most Rigid Econ
omy More Revenues Must Be Pro-
duced-Heads of Departments Are
Asking Too Much.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-tSIt will be
impossible to lower taxes unless the
present high rate of governmental ex-
pcnditpre is reduced to something like
its normal figure, said Senator Smoot of
Utah in discussing the economical out
look. We cannot go on as we have
been going. Expenses should have been
reduced as soon as the fighting stopped. >
There will be great distress in this
country if the most rigid economy is
not practised sby congress, is the opin-
ion Of Mr. Smoot He believes it will
be necessary to raise more revenue,
rather than less. Unless the outlay is
lessened tax rates must be increased
rather than lowered.
No disposition is manifested by
heads of the executive departments. =
said Senator Smoot. "'to modify their
estimates submitted at the last session
Of congress. The house appropriations
committee already has been notified by
many of them that the same figures hold
and the same amount of money will be
required. 1t is required that the money
measures be based on the estimates Civ
en- last winter The expenditure of large
sums has been made necessary by the
conclusion of the war. There should be
general pairing down in order 70 make
possible the reduction of taxation =
1t is the Judgment of Mr.. Smoot that
all requests filed by heads of executive
departments for appropriations can be
materially lessened. He regards this as
absolutely essential. He says the house
is doing a good work in cutting down
the estimates, bnt the senate must take
the house bills when passed and 90
much further in the direction of redue.
ton
Senator Smoot is warning all his Re.
publican associates that all the respon
sibility for lowering expenditures and
lessening taxation now rests upon them
They will be held accountable by the
people. There is but one thing to do
he says, and that is eliminate all the
useless items and cut the necessary
ones to .he bone. Only in this way. he
, says, can the evil day of discomfort and
financial stress be averted.

WASHINGTON, June 2-No pres
sure on the part of President Wilson
will induce the Republican opponents Of
the league covenant to hasten the full
declaration of their attitude. 1t is a
matter on which thc very life of the
party depends, and they propose to
safeguard any declared action by every

This is the announcement made bv
the most prominent Republican leaders.
They say that neither surprise nor in
situation Will cause them to move with
undue rapiditv 1t is intended, they
say, to have Senator Knox and other
legal experts take the completed text of
the peace treaty and review it from
every angle. They viii consider its
provisions in regard to their bearing ON
international and constitutional law.
They will suggest whether or not the
treaty and league covenant are separa-
BILE propositions.
Until this is done the Republicans
will merely wait and talk. The lesser
lights will do the expounding, while
the more learned ones will hold their
peace. 1t is agreed by a large proper
| tion that silence is the best policy at
present, and nothing definite should
be undertaken until the exact text Of
| the treaty is available for examina-
ton. Eleventh hour changes arc ap-
pretended by the Republicans and
these would place them in an awkward
position if a stand had been taken on
