Loath to Appear

Dozens of people are coming to the city attorneys office to pay their origi- nal fines with court costs to avoid ap- bearing on the city appeal docket, set for next week." said George Lewis Bailes, assistant city attorney. There are 102 cases to be heard in the next six days, and I predict that 20 per cent of them will come in and pay their fines before their cases are called. Even though they appealed the cases, the defendants seem loath to appear"

ITS ONE DRAWBACK

From Answers, London.
 Scotsman came south to have a look at London. He spent few days in London, and sped back to Scotland again.
 On the first night of his return to his little village up in the wilds all his friends gathered round him to hear his opinion of the town whose streets were paved with gold"
 He told the tale as only Scot can short and candid, without too much padding; then friend interrupted him.

$25, 100000 BE NECESSARY

Washington, Dec. 7.--Prcsidcnt Will
sons suggestion in his message to
Congress TODAY that loan 10 OK
tended by the United States to the
Aremnlan government brought to light
that the State Department has had the
question under consideration and that
it has arrived at the conclusion that
credit of $25,000,0O0 would be neccs-
sary.
The Armenian question and the ac
ceptancc by President Wilson of the
task Of mcdiating between the Ar
mcnians and the Turkish Nationalists
was understood to have been discussed
today at the regular weekly Cabinet
meeting, at which the State Depart
ment was represented by acting
Secretary Davis.
Officials of the State Department
supporting the suggestion of q loan
declared today that the rehabilitation
OF Armenia could not be expected
merely as result of kind words and
an extension of moral support. Re
ports to the department of conditions
in that country have indicated clearly,
it was said, that without money the
population could not go far in achiev-
ing a stable readjustment.

Leaves TO Congress-
In brief the Immediate legislative
need of the time is the removal of all
obstacles to the realization of the best
ambitions Of our people in their sew
cral classes of employment and the
strengthening of all instrumcntalitics
by which difficulties are to be met and
removed and justice dealt out, whether
by law or by SONG form of mediation
and conciiation, | do not feel it to
be my privilege at present to suggest
the detailed and particular methods
by which these objects may be at
tanned, but / have faith that the in
qulries of your several committees will
discover the way and the method.
In response to what l believe to be
the impulse of sympathy and opinion
throughout the United States, earn
cstly suggest that the Congress
authorize the Treasury Of the United
States to make to the STRUGGLING gov
ernmelt of Armenia such loan as
was made to several Of the Allied gov
crnmcntS during the war, and / would
also suggest that it would be desirable
to provide in the legislation itself that
the expenditure of the money thus
loaned should be under the supervision
of commission, or at least a commits
Sioncr, from the United States, order
that revolutionary tendencies Yithin
Armenia itself might not be afforded
by the loan further tempting oppor-
tunity.
Allow me to call your attention to
the fact that the people of the
Philippine Islands have succeeded in
maintaining a stable government since
the last action of Congress in their
behalf and have thus fulfilled the con-
dltlon set by the Congress as prece-
dent to consideration Of granting in
dependence to the islands, respectful
ly submit that this condition prece-
dent having been fulfilled it is now
our liberty and our duty to keep our
promise to the people of those islands
by granting them the independence
which they so honorably covct
| have not so much laid before YOU
Il series of recommendations gentle
men, as sought to utter confession
of faith, of the faith in which / was
bred and which it is my solemn pur-
pose to stand by until my last fighting
day. / believe this to be the faith of
America, the faith of the future, and
Of all the victories which awaits ma
tional action in the days to come
whether in America or elsewhere.

their participation in the war. These
I chroic men can never be paid in money
for the service they patriotically rem
dcrcd the nation. Their reward will
lie rather in realization Of the fact
that they vindicated the rights of their
country and aided in safeguarding civi
lization. The nations gratitude must
be effectively revealed to them by the
I most ample provision for their mcdi-
cal care and treatment as well as for
their vocational training and place
mcnt. The time has come when q
more complete program can be formu-
lated and more satisfactorily admins
, tered for their treatment and training
and | earnestly urge that Congress
give the matter its early considcra-
tion. The Secretary of the Treasury
and the board for vocational educa-
tion will outline in their annual re-
ports proposals covering medical care
and rehabilitation which ] am sure
will engage your earnest study and
collllllanu your NOUS generous support.
Permit me to emphasize once more
the need for action upon certain
matters upon which I dwelt at some
length in my message to the second
session Of the Sixty-sixth Congress:
The necessity, for example, of cncour-
aging the manufacture dycstuffs and
1nf fnI oh n1s.. fl,, Df
doing everything possible to promote
agricultural production along cconom-
&c lines to improve agricultural mar
kcting and to make rural life more at
tractive and healthful; the need for
law regulating cold storage in such
a way as to limit the time during
which goods may be kept in storage,
prescribing the method Of disposing of
them if kept beyond the permitted
period and requiring goods released
from storage in all cases to bear the
date of their receipt. 1t would also
be most serviceable if it were provided
that all goods released from cold
storage for interstate shipment should
have plainly marked upon each pack
age the selling or market price at
which they went into storage in order
that the purchaser might be able to
learn what profits stood between him
and the producer or the Wholesale
dealer. Indeed, it would be very
serviceablc to the public if all goods
destined for interstate commerce were
made to carry upon every packing case
whose form made it possible plain
statement Of the price at which they
left the hands Of the producer. I
respectfully call your attention also
to the recommendation Of the mes
sage referred to with regard to a fed

see that this program is realized.

! cannot cver-emphasize the ncces-
siGy of ccol ny in government appro-
prations and expenditures and the
avoidance by the Congress of prac-
tees which take money from the treas
ury by indefinite or revolving fund APP
preparation The estimates for the
present year show that over a billion
dollars of expenditures were author
lied by the last Congress in addition
to the amounts shown in the usual
compiled statements Of appropriations
This strikingly illustrates the impor-
tance of making direct and specific
appropriations. The relation between
the current receipts and current ex-
pcnditures Of the government during
the present fiscal year, as we'll as dur
ing the last half of the last fiscal
year, has been disturbed by the extra
ordinary burdens thrown upon the
treasury by the transportation act, in
connection with the return of the rail
roads to private control. Over $780,
100000 has already been paid to the
railroads under this act-$350,0 100000
during the present fiscal year; and it
is estimated that further payments ag-
grogating possibly $G50,000,000 must

still be made to the railroads durine,
the current year. II is obvious that
these large payments have already Sc
riously limited the governments prog
ress in retiring the floating debt.
Closely connected with this, it seems
to me, is the necessity for an imme-
diate consideration of the revision of
our tax laws. Simplifcation of the
income and profits taxes has become
an immediate necessity. These taxes
performed an indispensable service
during the war. The need for their
simplification however, is very great,
in order to save the taxpayer incon-
vcnience and eXpenes and in order to
make his liability more certain and
definite. Other and more detailed rec
concentrations with regard to taxes
