with the best time last week and the

lower than last Wednesday. How
ever, there was a good demand from
local killers and good outlet on
shipping orders. General indications
are that the market will continue 20
absorb liberal supplies readily. Kill
ers are taking more cattle than at

feeder trade which has expanded
materially will act as a check TO any

Needs $4,000 at Once to Pla.
cate Creditors; Headquarters
Staff Is Reduced
Special Dispatch to Thc Tribpn

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Socialist
party is in financial straits. Not only
is the national organization in debt
SCI, 900, but it must get $4,000 quickly
to satisfy some of its pressing credit
crs. The national convention recently
sent out an appeal to members to the
effect that the partys credit "was alb
solutely exhausted" An appeal was
sent out for $4,000, which was wanted
IN thirty days. Only $4,000 has come
in, but this has served to appease cred
itors and extension has been granted
for the remainder of the sum-
The leaders Of the party attribute its
difficulties to the fact that too many of
is members are out of work and cur
rent expenses are too great. Hence the
headquarters in q residence at 900 Ash
land Avenue, which cost $4,000, but is
not paid for, no longer contains a staff
oe twenty five, but only eight, headed
by Otto F. Branstetter, business mana
ger.
An analysis of election returns shows
that the party is not progressing as it
did in 1904, when it made huge jump
from almost nothing

New Tariff Likely
To Be Held Over
Until January !
Great Demand for Hearings
Makes Early Action I'M
possible; Tax Measure To
Be Given Right of Way

From The Tr;bunes WASHINGTON P,reau
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. - No new
tariff law is probable before December
1, and it may be January l before tariff
revision is completed. This is the con-
clusion TO which leaders of the Senate
Finance Committee have come as the
result of the great demand for hearings
and the difficulties of fixing the rates.
The tax bill probably will be pat
ahead of the tariff bin in the Senate
and enacted ahead of it. Prominent
members of the Finance Committe.
predicted to-day the tax bin would be
given precedence. The fact that there
is sure to be long delay in passing the
tariff bill obviously will increase the
demand in and out OF Congress to have
tax revision accomplished first. More
over, the Administration influence will
be exerted in favor of putting the tax
bill first, and this will have weight.
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee, is still opposed to
passing tax revision ahead of tariff, but
as matter of fact, if the Senate passes
the tax bill first, he cannot we'll do
otherwise than accept the situation snd
proceed TO help in getting the tax bill
through conference.
In spite of the fact that many weeks
of work will be required to shape the
tariff bill and pass it, Finance Commit
tee leaders recognize that the bill will
be in the nature of temporary meas
ure. This is because of the uncertain
and unsettled world conditions of
trade, industry, economies and ex-
change. If the world conditions swing
back to something like normal in two
or three years. the tariff measure un-
doubtedly Will be thrown out Of Joint
and viii have to be revised
The Finance Committee Will resume
hearings on rates Monday, beginning
with the chemical schedule
Proceedings of the subcommittee Of
the Finance Committee and the WAYS
and Means Committee, headed by
Senator Smoot, which was named to
consider the dye embargo, indicate that
it will not favor an embargo and is
preparing to make report in favor of
Legislation which viii protect the Ameri-
can dye industry with high duties.

HONOLULU, Aug. 13.-Dr. David
Jordan, chancellor of Stanford Univer
sity, in an address before the Pan

tons bordering on the Pacific, de-
clared that no nation ever gained any
thing by the sword which it did not

He cited as examples Prussia, and
France during the time of Napoleon.
DR.. Jordan, who is president of the
Educational Conference, made a plea
for disarmament. He urged peace
among all countries through an edu-

appreciation. He declared the "build-
ing of armament and the manufacture

danger to peace" He added, "if no.

Charge Chicago Officials
Expend Millions Illegally
Aldermen Appeal to Court to
Enjoin Treasurer From A.
legged Squondering Of Budget
Special Dispatch to The Tribun

DPttfW Hi"PutCu ~ Ht 1 |lOUUe
CHICAGO, Aug. 13-Suit was fled
in Circuit Court to-day by the City
Councils subcommittee on finance to
enjoin City Comptroller George F.
Harding and City Treasurer Clayton
r. Smith from honoring and paying
bills against several million dollars
appropriated in the 1921 budget of the
City Council
The action was filed at the instiga-
ton OF Aldermen u. S. Schwartz, GUY
Guernsey and Ross A. Woodruff as the
direct result of an opinion recently
rendered by the city law department
to the effect that the language used
by the City Council in setting up vari-
penditures to be made or liabilities
incurred except as may be hereafter
specially authorized by the City Coun-
Gill;" could be totally disregarded.
The Circuit Court is asked to com
pei the Comptroller and the City
Treasurer to pay back into the treas
ury any money that has been paid out
in disregard of the councils order,
and to prevent further payments
The petitioners contend that Har-
ding and Smith have in times past.
particularly during the year 1920, il
legally, wrongfully and frauducntly
disburscd moneys belonging to the
City of Chicago from appropriations
similar to those contained in the 1921
appropriation ordinance, and that,
without regard to the legality Of pay
mcnts, it is their intention to continue
the prosecution of their nefarious
scheme to mulct the revenues Of the
City Of Chicago and Of the taxpayers
thereof Of enormous sums Of money IL
legally and without warrant Of law"
The suit now Instituted, it is thought,
will help thrash out the question Of
the payment OF enormous sums in cx
perts' fees in 1920, when five experts
in about a year collected approximate
ly $2,742, 900 without authority from
the City Council, the sub committee
contends. In these payments, it is al
legged, the language Of the councils
appropriation items was totally disrc-
rardcd.

nues square with the expenses. The
state and Federal governments have
both set an example of economy. The
city must economize, for next years
budget cannot in any event be larger
than this years budget under constitu-
tional limitations
ut will be recalled that the admins
tratlon refrained from including in
this years budget $27 100000 necessary
to meet the charge for education If
the budget rises another year, as the
Mayor predicts, the deficiency will be
still greater. If the tax levy is, as
believe, restricted to the assessment
roll of the preceding year instead of
the current year, there will be a fur
Their shortage of over $1,000, 900. This
makes very bad showing for the
finances of the city, independently of
the suggestion as to the debt mourning
power of the city, which ! believe has
been exhausted. Whichever view pre-
walls in the end, it is clear that the
city is at the end of it's rope.
"1Fhe debt of the city never has been
decreased in a single year since its ex-
istence. The budget has mounted
higher every year, and there is nothing
in the testimony of the Mayor to give
hope of reduction of expenses.
Assessments Reach Limit
II am far from accepting the Mayors
view as to the situation in this regard
and believe that changes can be made
in the administration of the city which
will lead to q gradual reduction of its
debt and a restoration to a position of
reasonable financial ease and security
1t cannot be done by further boosting
the assessment roll, for the assessors
went the limit on the last assessment
roll, increasing the city's assessment
by more than $1,000, 100000. So the
means for working an economy must be
found and it will be the duty Of the
committee to ascertain by careful in
vestigation in what respect the city has
already transcribed its debt mourning
power and its tax raising power and
to make suggestions for definite linn
itation of the funds available for adj
ministration.
IF these matters are definitely set
tied and the administration knows it
can get no more than a specified sum
for public expenditure, it will be the
first step, and the second step Will be
to still further reduce those expendi-
lures so as to enable it to get re-
sources for necessary public improve
ments not now within reach
1T is useless to attempt to state con-
illusions while the inquiry is in the
preliminary stage. l believe the COM
mttec will be more successful in get
ting light from other sources"
