With three-quarters OF the current
fiscal year now a matter of history. the
Government has lived within its incomc
by a margin of $4,000, 600. it was dis
closed to-day in a Treasury Depart
ment statement. This margin repre-
sents the difference between ordinary
receipts and expenditures.
The Government. furthermore. had a
net balance in cash amounting to more
than s37eoOo.co0 over and above the
ma rgin which was on the basis OF bal
ance at the close OF business April 20.
For the period ordinary receipts
totalcd in round numbers So, 100000.
Expenditures amounted to s2,s2o,0oo,0d0.
President Hsrding's policy Of economy
in Government affairs is working out
even better than expected, officials sa.d
to-day. Through the personal coopera-
ton OF the Cabinet and Director Dawes

branches are succeeding in the prob

Unless unexpected drafts are made
Upon the Treasury. the Government is
likely to close the fiscal year with
sta atement- that will show q margin OF
$500. 900 .oA0 or SS00,000.000 between
ordinary receipts and expenditures.
Receipts thus far this fiscal year are
less than during the corresponding
period Of the last fiscal year by $1,22l,-
coo. 900. This is due to the falling off
in income and excess profits taxes and
to other shrinkages OF revenue which
are mainly 4 result OF the economic de-
preston. The drop in receipts was ex-
pected and expenditures were reduced
IN proportion.
Ordinary disbursements SO far this
year are sf.45S, 100000 less than dur
Ing the corresponding period OF the pre-
otding fiscal year. This repre- sents q
reduction in the rate OF disbursement at
the rate Of approximately s16o,oo0,00o.

To carry out President Harding's
economy policy there is now in each

The defeat of two bonus Representa-
tives in Illinois for denomination and
the rejection OF Senator New by the
Indiana Republican voters has TO some
extent lessened the ardor OF Senators
and Representatives who delivered
themselves out of hand TO the bonus
legislation. Senator New was cata-
logued as a bonus Senator" by the
lobbyists OF the American Legion and
allied organizations.
The President, Secretary Mellon and
members OF Congress have not other
wise been permitted to doubt the un-
popularity OF tho bonus scheme with
the people generally. A greater vol
ume of protests against 1t have come
from citizens OF all classes living In
every part OF the country than was
ever before directed against n legisla-
tive venture. The President has re-
celved thousands OF protests against
the scheme.
In preparing TO take their offerings
10 the White House tho bonus Senators
to-day encountered legislative snag
that viii seriously handicap their plans
TO railroad the bonus raid through the
Senate regardless OF the decision OF the
President.
Senator Underwood. the Democratic
leader. interrpgated Chairman McCum-
Der regarding his plans for progressing
the tariff and bonus bills. The Ala
bana Senator declared that IL tho
tariff measure was TO pe passed at this
session Chairman McCumber must see
that ali the extraneous debates and
discussions are eliminated from Senate
proceedings and the tariff measure
kept constantly before the Senate. He
said thar while there was no tendency

In the Senate. however. there are
at present enough Republican ami
Democratic Senators opposed to tEA
bonus on general principles to head
off such a venture with the addition
of Senators who would elect to sup
port the veto of the President.
While there seem to be no logical
reasons to doubt the character of the
decision wlich the President will make
known TO his Senatorial callers to-
morrow, some of the more ardent sup
porters of the bonus comfort them
selves by grasping at straws. One of
these straws is that the President viii
not entirely CLOSE the door" against
subsequent attempts to concert
scheme that will justify executive
approval.
Such confidence as exists on this
score is inspired by the hope. that tho
President will heed the Macedonian
cry of members of his party who have
been led TO believe the American
Legion controls the political decisions
Of the country.
A straightout declaration by the
President that none OF the bonus
projects devised to date viii enable
his party to keep it's platform pledges
for retrenchment and economy viii
clear the legislative atmosphere and
permit Congress to settle down to the
serious business OF the country. AT

members is focused on the politically

port of such a measure to the Senate
by Mr.. ehcCurper and his associates
on the Finance Committee, assisted by
Democratic Senators whose sole am
bition is to put the Republican party
in hole by increasing the burdens
of taxation.
Also there probably VIII be enough
Senator'S in Mr.. Harding's own party
to jam the bonus bill through the
Senate--with the assistance of the
Democratic pit diggers--in defiance OF
the adverse decision which the Presi-
dent confidently is expected to render
tomorrow morning.
Such a verdict, however, would
block effectively any subsequent Ell
forts Of the bonus raiders TO repass
the bin over Presidential veto even
with the cooperation OF the Demo-
cratic mischief makers. There is lit
tie reason to doubt that the bill would
be repassed by the House to vindicate
the promises of members Of that
body TO bonus claimants whose votes
are desired in the Congressional cleo
tions.

BLACKLIST" IS COMPILED

A scheme for riding always in the
newest and most up to date motorcars.
at the lowest possible cost. is the latest
innovation Of bootlcggers of the Eastern
coast. In fact, 10 unquestionable has
the need for new automobile become
for the plutocratic middlemen Of the
underground liquor business that II Is
doubtful IL a real. self made bootlegger
would any more design to ride in any
car other than one fresh and shining
from the showroom.
The reason is extremely simple. To
the fine lines and glimmerinE paint Of
new machine attaches not only the
indication Of wealth. but also of re.
spectability. And there is nothing TINT
n wise bootlegger seeks more than re-
spectability--in the eyes Of the police
To his friends he Is beyond the need Of
respectability. standing perhaps. in the
light Of a savior Of mankind. But he
must put on the dog" to be immune
from the eyes Of his many pursuers.
So great has become the bootleGRer

ment one or more machines.
The trouble Is, that the bootlegger
may, after the use Of one car. dodge
the agent of the finance company and
60 into another city, change his name,
choose n new make of machine, and
start trade all over again. One large
company in this city reports that 1t
already has the same man on it's list
twice. He left a Ford in this city.
journeyed as far as Baltimore, and
under an alias had new car Of
larger make before the week was out.
II the automobile dealer has con.
tract with the finance company whereby
he, the dealer, must buy back the
machine. when the 5uyer is in default
of payment. 1t is the dealer who suffers.
The Ford dealer is always safe, in that
he will never enter into such contract.
The police are lacking in sympathy
with the parties concerned, for they
declare that the running down of hum
bug automobile purchasers is adding n
burden impossible to bear. Superin.
tendent Mills admitted that the fake
purchase of cars was becoming ram ,
pant, but that he would refuse to use
his men IN pursuit either Of the
machines or Of the temporary owners.
He believes that the evil should be cut
off at Its source and more investigation
of clients by the finance companies and
automobile dealers is the remedy.
