depends on the outcome OF confer
ence between Budget Director Douglas
and Chairman Cannon Of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee which
is framing the 1885 supply bill.
The date for the conf erence has
not ben definitely fixed, bat it is ex-
pected to be held within the next few
days.
The primary purpose of the confer
ence is said to concern en- item in
the supplemental estimates for S2,-
100000 for emergency relief. The
regular budget recommended $780,
600 for this work.
Larger Relief Fund Needed.
Commissioner George E. Allen told
the subcommittee during recent hear
ines on the estimates that fund OF
s4,000,000 would meet only about one
half of the estimated emergency relief
needs in the coming fiscal year. He
declared the Federal Government
would have to make up tie balance
through grants from its relief agencies.
The s4000,000 in supplemental es-
Inmates have been under consideration
at the Budget Bureau for nearly two
months. The Commissioners submit
ted them to absorb a greater portion
of the prospective surplus of unob-
ligated tax revenues in the coming
fiscal year due to the drastic reduc-
ton by the Budget Bureau in the reg
ular estimates for 1885.
Maj. Daniel ]. Donovan, auditor and
budget officer. had estimated the sur
plus would amount to about $4,000 600.

In the supplemental estimates were
discussed informally during the
hearing.
Result in Doubt.
There has been some doubt among
members of the Cannon committee
whether the Budget Bureau would
approve the supplemental items. In
fact, Representative Blanton, Demo-
crat of Texas, an active member of
the group. predicted the supplemental
items would never reach the Capitol.
Blanton is advocating reduction
In the tax rate in the coming fiscal
year from $1.50 to Sl29 as means
of reducing the anticipated surplus in
tax revenues. He has proposed re-
organization plan for the District
government which he claims will save
enough money to make the tax reduc-
tion possible, but District officials de-
clare the economies would be neglig-
ible and the cut in the tax levy could
only be made possible by reducing

CODE EXTENDS TIME
TO PAY GASOLINE BILLS
Credit Users Allowed 80 Days
After Months Charges Are
Submitted.

BY the Associated Press.
Consumers Of gasoline and other
petroleum products who buy on credit
now may have until the end of the
month succeeding the month of pur-
chase to pay their bills.
This was decreed in a revision OF
the oil code announced yesterday by
Secretary Ickes, the oil administrator.
Previously. the code required pay
ment by the 18th of the month
following the date of purchase.
Another revision exempted public
hospitals and agencies Of Federal,
State and local governments from

terms. They made no effort to pre-
vent the spread of the fire unless the
adjoining property owners also made
a deal with Crassus. This business
was so profitable that the triumvir
became Rome's greatest property
owner.
Roman money lenders were choice
lot. The noble Brutus, for example,
got 48 per cent interest. A favorite
trick was to foreclose the mortgage on
a soldiers land while he was away
at war.
The fundamental cause Of the
Dark Ages" was the stripping Of
Western Europe of its money. Rome
was importing food from Egypt and
paying taxes to Constantinople. Every
thing was going out and nothing COM
ing in. The total currency OF the
western empire sank from two billions
to about S1O0. 900. 900. The people re-
sorted to barter to carry on ordinary
business and, says DR.. Howe, civiliza-
ton collapsed as it always must when
money disappears.
The great revival came only with
the inflow of gold and silver from
the New World. The Jewish mer-
chants also helped out. Established
all over Europe, they were closely
associated through racial and family
ties. The merchant in Oslo might
be a first cousin of merchant in
London and the second cousin OF a
merchant in Venice. Thus they con-
stituted naturally an international
organization.
This made possible the establish
ment of letters of exchange A
man in London owed a debt to a man
in Venice. Another man in Venice
owed a debt to another man In Lon
don. There would be an exchange
of letters through the Jewish cousins
in the mercantile business by which
it was agreed that the Venice debtor
should pay the London debtors debt
to the Venice creditor and vice versa.
This was the origin of the bill OF
exchange.
The ancestor Of the American and
English bank was the London gold
smiths shop of fifteenth and six.
teenth centuries. English gold coins
were very bad. They would be ac-
cepted in payment Of a debt only
after they were weighed. The gold
smiths had to provide secure storage
places for the gold they used in their
craft. Gradually citizens Of bandit
infested city developed the practice OF
asking the artizans-an Of them Ital-
ians-to keep their gold coins in the
shops with the trade gold, where 1t
was reasonably safe from robbers.
At first such a depositor would go
to the goldsmith and draw out the
required weight Of coin every time
he had to pay q bill. This was so
inconvenient that the smiths began
merely issuing certificates Of deposit
for the payment Of bills. This was
probably the beginning Of gold
secured currency.
With nobody asking for the actual.
gold In their vaults. the soldsmiths
could not resist the temptation to
water" the certificates Of deposits
always keeping within limits where
they were not likely to be caught ut
It. Thus arose an expanded cur
rency.

Other notes on gold from DR..
Howe's studies:
All the gold on earth is worth about

a room of 80 cubic feet. The workers
Of the United States could earn it all
by working go days at IS a day. They

in the United States has about the

diamonds.

What It Does

First of all, Indo-Vin is natural
cleanser because it contains natural
medicaments that have a great &C
ton upon the organs Of the inner
system. 1t is made of juices from
% medicinal plants, and not one a
habit-forming drug. 1t contains
more ingredients than perhaps three
ordinary medicines put together.
Taken shortly after meals, it
mixes with the food in ones stom-
ach, thus banishing the poisons that
foster stomach trouble and per-
hitting the kidneys and liver to
function properly. 1t acts within
10 minutes to stop gas and pains,
sourneSS, bloat and belching. 1t
will work old bile from the liver and
drive the poisons from the kidneys
and relieve backache, bladder irri"
tation and weakness. Indo-Vin will
make your stomach, liver, kidneys,
and bowels more active and you will
feel better all over. 1t will even
make you LOOK better and your
friends will comment on the Won
derful improvement in your ap-
pearance.
