There are, however, heavy drains to
come on the treasury this month and
next, he said, and these require the
Gates of indebtedness, announcement of
which he made coincident with the
letter to the bankers.
Bans Extravagance.
'Tbe nation cannot afford extrava
gance," Mr.. Mellon asserted. Figures
on current operations of the govern
Mcnt show that the country's finances
srs sound but that the situation calls
Cor .he utmost economy.
Ihe heavy requirements of the
government an account of necessary
expenditures, including interest and
sinking fund on the public debt, end
the maturity of $500 ,O0O, 900 in short
dated debts in the next two years or
thereabouts, make it imperative that
the greatest care and economy be exer-
cised in matters affecting government
expenditures.
For Budget System.
''The people generally must become
more interested in saving the govern
meiit's money than in spending it. A
thorough going national budget system
must be established and the govern
ment's expenses brought into relation
to It's income"
He expressed belief, however, that
the first nine months of the fiscal year,
or to March 81, would show the treas
ury had made ends meet with a slight
surplus to use against the great war
debt. The issues of certificates will
aggregate $4OO, 100000 and viii bear In
terest at IL per cent, half having
maturity date of one year and the
remainder for six months Both is
sues will be accepted in payment of
income and profits taxes.
Enormous Debts Due.
In notifying the bankers Of the is
sues, Mr.. Mellon said he felt it his
duty to inform them at the outset of
his administration of the probable re-
qu:rements of the government in the
coming months and to say something
concerning its financial program. lie
said that $500. 100000 in certificates
must be paid off March Is and an
additional $11S,OOO,OOO month later.
Besides these needs, there is to be paid
the semi annual interest on Liberty
bonds on March Is, payment of about
$75,O0O,OOO. Tie treasury also must
make payments to the railroads during
March which Mr.. Mellon estimated
at 5000 100000.
To partially offset the heavy outgo,
the regular quarterly payment of in
come and profits taxes is due March |
to realize approximately $500, 900.
Is from which the theasury hopes
This tax payment, therefore, will be
used up in retiring the certificates due
on the same late. Funds obtained from
the new issues of certificates then will
hacoma availah h1a for carinr for o+Lor
debts of which the railroad payments
and the small previous issues Of GER
tificates constitute the greatest amount.
Mr.. Mellon also observed optimisti-
cal signs in the general financial con-
dition throughout the country

London. March 8.-The Spanish pre-.
mler, Eduardo Dato, has been assas-
slnated. according to dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Co, from Madrid
Senor Dato was killed by revolver
shots as he left congress-.
Eduardo Dato was recognized as one
OF the most conservative of the con-
servatives in Spain. He became leader
OF the Liberal Conservative party, the
strongest political group In both the
senate and the house of representa-
tives, after the disappearance of Cano-
vas. Never a friend of the working
classes, and opposed to all reforms,
Dato acquired the height Of his reputa-
tion for sterness in August, 1917. when
he suppressed with the utmost energy
the workers movement.
Prominent Monarchlst.
Senor Dato had held the seat in
parliament for Vitoria, capital Of the
province of Alva, ever since his entry
he was speaker of the house. Besides
holding portfolios in various cabinets
he was the prime minister a number
of times. Although apparently of
gentle temperament, Dato possessed
will of iron and never discussed sub
ject with anyone once he had made his
mind up on it.
Dato was born in La Coruna, August
y, 1858, and studied law. He passed
his final examinations at the age Of
10. When he entered politics he push
ed rapidly to the front, becoming Sec
retary of state for the interior in 1891
and minister of the same department
in 1899. During his occupation Of the
ministry of the interior he secured the
passage of laws and regulating work
ingmen's insurance and the hours of
labor for women
DespIsed Republics.
In 1903 Dato became minister of
justice, and in 1907 he was nominated
speaker Of the house Of representa-
tives and also became mayor of Mad
rid
He was first chosen premier in 1913
and followed this with a second term
in 1917. In 1918 he held the portfolio
of secretary for foreign affairs. Dato
was married in his early youth and was
the father of three children. While he
was deputy he acted as lawyer for
several English and French railroad
and mining companies operating in
Spain. For his work in the connection
he amassed considerable fortune.
Datos sympathies throughout the
war were on the side Of the allies |
For the United States he is said never
to have had any love. He was a mon
archist to the tips Of his fingers and
refused to consider any idea of a |
Spanish republic.
Recently there had been considerable
agitation for the formation Of a coal-
ion government in Spain to replace
Datos cabinet.
