TAX DEFALCATI0NS
BELOW ESTIMATES
Unofficial Reports From Many
Sections Do Not Show Heavy
Shortage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Treasury OIL
Gals declared tonight there was every
indication that collections OF the De-
cember IS instalment of income and
profits taxes would approximate Secre-
tary Huustons estimate of $650.000,0 600,
notwithstanding reports of the inability
of individuals and corporations in vari-
Gus parts of the country to meet their
obligations.
Up to last night a total Of $780,
600, 900 had been reported to the Treas
ury as collected. and officials asserted
that to-day's returns probably would
add another 500, 900, 900 to that amount.
Reports are coming in steadily but in
some cases slowly and officials said 1t
would be nearly q week before Anal
returns were received.
Many unofficial reports from different
sections Of the country which have
estimated defalcations In tax payments
have been to a great extent exaggerated,
in the opinion OF Treasury officials.
Returns so far do not indicate any
heavy shortage. it was stated. and as
an instance officials declared that IN
New York tax receipts already were
within $4,000, 900 Of the amount esti-
mated for that district.
Allotment Of s5S9,6S0.000 OF the two
new issues of Treasury certificates Of
fered last week was announced to-nigh.
by Secretary Houston subscriptions
totalled $790,449.500 for the combined
issue. which was for $500 100000 or
Whereabouts. the Secretary said.
Oversubscriptioh Of the new certifl-
Gates was regarded at the Treasury as
successfully rounding out the policy of
meeting the heavy maturity payments
which the Government was calico
upon to provide this month and IN Ian
uary. on December Is 800. 900. 900 In
maturities was due and $40. 900 IN
interest on Liberty bonds. while by Jan
uary Is further maturities OF $500. 000.-
600 become due. making II total O..
s1.140. 100000.
To make these payments and ut tho
same time provide for the current re-
quiremcnts of the Government, the Sec
rotary said an issue of $500, 900. 900 in
addition to the estimated tax receipts OF
$3.50. 000.0 900 was decided upon the basis
of the best estimates available. making
total of s1.t50.000.000 But. with
nearly $3.50. 600 obtained from the
new certificates, officials said approxl-
mately 500, 1000. 900 leeway was left the
Government with which TO meet current
requirements and absorb any shortage
In tax payments IL no unexpected drain
is made on the Treasury.

To Keep Liberals in Touch.

The statement follows:
~ number of members OF the House
ard Senate met this morning with the
heads OF the railroad labor organiza-
tons and the leaders Of the other pro-
eressive organizations TO discuss the
general legislative situation. The con-
ference grew out OF the fact that leaders
OF the railroad labor organizations were
meeting at this time in Washington to
discuss various problems. and the time
was thought to be opportune for a gem
eral discussion of the entire legislative
situation.
I'm the course OF the discussion suE-
gestions We're made by several that Il
bureau OF legislative information should
he established to act with the liberal
members OF the House and Senate. This
suggestion was emphasized by the pass
age OF the Poindexter bill prohibiting
strikes in interstate commerce because
opponents of this measure had not been
properly warned that II was to be taken
up in the Senate.
mo definite action was taken by the
conference. but IL was agreed that later
meetings would be held at which plans
for bringing about better coordination
Of the liberal forces OF the country with
their representatives In the House. and
Senate would be formulated. AS soon as
anything OF concrete character has
been agreed upon by the conference an

The Community Forest.
(Keene Sentinel. }

Otsego county, n. Y, is going to
plant several acres of forest trees as
public enterprise. The result win be a
fine big woods, beautiful to look at
and pleasant for tramping, camping
and picnicking, and excellent as a con
server of moisture and feeder of local
streams. After few years there
should be a steady income from tim
Der and firewood. Optimistic citizens
believe that eventually the profits from
that public forest will be enough to paw
the IS county Is running expenses, and
make taxes superfuous.
Most Americans will smile at such an
idea, but it is not so childish as il may
sound. Many a European community
is doing that very thing. In Holland
there are cities free from taxation, sup
ported entirely by municipal invest
ments in forests or mines The method
need not be seorned in this country
merely because of its novelty In view
of the growing scarcity of lumber and
paper pulp, there is a peculiar fitness
in this sort of enterprise. as well as a
certain reward for any city. county or
state that goes into it intelligently.
