HOW TO WIPE OUT THE TREASURY DEFICIT UNITED STATES SENATOR-ELECT BROUSSARD ANALYZES THE SITUATION DESPITE ENACTMENT OF WAR TAX IN PROFOUND PEACE THERE IS $80,000,000 DEFICIT United States Senator Elect Broussard in a scathing address before the sixty-third congress, gave convincing arguments how to wipe out the treasury deficit. The senator said a false cry has been raised regarding pork barrel legislation simply to deceive the people. The deficit is due to miscalculation by the financial branch of the present administration, and that is no fault of congress. Extracts from the Senator's discourse are as follows: The resolution introduced by me contemplates the suspension of the free sugar clause of the Underwood bill, which provides for free sugar after May 1, 1916. It is probable that, with the congested condition of the congressional calendars, it may not be possible to consider this resolution in this congress. It is fair to those upon whom rests the responsibility of reinstating a deficient treasury as well as to those who favor free sugar that the efforts which I contemplate making in the next congress should be made known at this time. It is my purpose to renew these efforts immediately upon the convening of the next congress, whether in an extra or a regular session. These efforts, if successful, will to a large extent obliterate the deficiency that confronts the United States treasury. Why look to extraneous things when, through erroneous calculation, these two new methods of taxation account for practically every dollar in the present deficiency? Now, this is a statement of facts, and the war tax measure is soon to expire, so that the fifty-four millions yield for 1915 will shortly disappear, and the eighty millions deficit must, consequently, be increased by that sum in the near future. On the first of May, 1916, unless my resolution shall become law, practically $52,000,000 more now derived from the sugar duty must also be added to the present deficiency. To summarize, should the same deficiency occur in 1916 as is pending now, there will be added to the eighty-million deficiency the further deficiencies due to the expiration of the war tax law, yielding fifty four millions, and a still further deficiency after May, 1916, of fifty-two more millions derived from the sugar duty. This situation is appalling. It can not be shirked; it must be met. And the question is how are we to meet it? There are several ways in which it can be done. The simplest, but probably the most obnoxious, would be to issue bonds; another would be to renounce the war tax act in times of profound peace, when possibly Europe itself will be at peace, and increase that tax; another still would be to adjust the income tax by decreasing the exemption and increasing the rate; or, again, to revert back to the old practice of collecting money from a duty on sugar. And why should not the last named course be followed? The refiners told Congress, and Congress believed the refiners, that if the duty on sugar was reduced, the consumer would receive the advantage of the reduction. On March 1, 1914, Congress reduced the then existing duty by 25 per cent; and for not a single moment from that day to this has the consumer paid as little money for his sugar as he paid before the reduction. He is now paying practically twice as much as he did before the reduction. The American consumer and the United States treasury have both suffered from the reduction; and the only beneficiary has been the refiner, commonly known as the sugar trust, which hedge surrounds there is no spot to there is no spot to a shell has not frown equally tremendous inside the fortress a plot between two 140 by 250 feet had pitted the ear struck upon the wall.

The accident It is fair to those upon whom rests the responsibility of reinstating a deficient treasury as well as to those who favor free sugar that the efforts which I contemplate making in the next congress should be made known at this time. It is my purpose to renew these efforts immediately upon the convening of the next congress, whether in an extra or a regular session. These efforts, if successful, will to a large extent obliterate the deficiency that confronts the United States treasury. We are informed that their is practically an $80,000,000 deficit, despite the enactment of a war tax in times of profound peace. The defenders of our present financial policy have ascribed the pending $80,000,000 deficiency to what they are pleased to term "pork barrel" appropriations by congress. No one cognizant of the existing conditions is at all disturbed over that statement. The uninformed alone are misled by this false cry. When called upon to explain what is means by "pork barrel" appropriations, one is referred to appropriations for the improvement of our rivers and harbors and the construction of post offices and other necessary buildings for the proper transaction of the public business. It is not true to say that this deficiency grows out of any such appropriations, because during this administration, no public buildings have been provided for by congress; and the appropriation for rivers and harbors was during the life of this congress reduced from a normal appropriation of fifty million to a twenty million dollar lump appropriation, to be used in the discretion of the United States engineers in continuing projects already under way. Even if this twenty million were charged to the legislative "pork barrel," it can not possibly account for a hole in the treasury of eighty millions. As a matter of fact, it can be demonstrated that this deficiency grows out of an entirely different situation, which situation precludes absolutely the use of the word "pork barrel" in connection with it. It is not difficult to ascertain just how this deficiency occurred. In the first place, when the Underwood bill was under discussion in the house, Representative Hull, of Tennessee, was in charge of the income tax section of that bill. I have every reason to believe that the ways and means committee, and Mr. Hull in particular, sought every avenue of information for the enactment of an equitable and just income tax. Mr. Hull, in his opening address on the floor of the house, stated that the income tax provision as written in the Underwood bill would produce $70,000,000. Such was the estimate furnished him. The returns, however, of the income tax show a total receipt of $28,253,534, a deficiency from the estimate of Mr. BACHELOR P Travelling alone without a light, or recluse of La killed Saturday when was riding was shell by a heavy Day of Los Angeles.

Thus a 101 to 200 rural two supervisions was in that garrison of that bill. I have every reason to believe that the ways and means committee, and Mr. Hull in particular, sought every avenue of information for the enactment of an equitable and just income tax. Mr. Hull, in his opening address on the floor of the house, stated that the income tax provision as written in the Underwood bill would produce $70,000,000. Such was the estimate furnished him. The returns, however, of the income tax show a total receipt of $28,253,634, a deficiency from the estimate of Mr. Hull of nearly $42,000,000, which miscalculation accounts for more than half the pending treasury deficit. When the war tax measure was reported to the House out of conference, Leader Underwood made the statement to the house that the information he had was to the effect that it would yield one hundred and five millions. When it passed the senate it was estimated to yield one hundred and seven millions; when it came out of conference he said it was presumed to yield more than ninety millions. Collections thus far made indicate this estimate far too high; in fact, the Secretary of the Treasury himself now estimates that the war tax will, approximately, yield fifty-four millions for the fiscal year of 1915. From the collections already made, this estimate seems reasonably accurate. Therefore, taking the lowest figure for the war tax given by Mr. Underwood, that of ninety millions, and subtracting the estimate now being made by the Secretary of the Treasury, there results a deficiency of thirty-six millions in that item alone. The revenues from these two sources are in no wise affected by the European war. If the termination of the war causes any increase in our custom receipts, this increase can not entirely make up the deficit, but congress will have to look elsewhere, for the most part, to recoup the treasury. By adding these two deficiencies, the one resulting from the war tax and the other from the income tax, we have almost the exact amount of the deficiency reported in the treasury of the United States. In other words, if the estimates furnished congress as to these two revenue acts had been correct, there would now be no deficiency, as the shortage in the results from the estimates precisely equals the Treasury shortage. WRECK OF CHURCHES IN WAR ZONE The extent to which village churches have suffered damage in the European war is observed by an Associated Press correspondent, who recently visited many sections of the war area. He found many regions where an undamaged building within a ten mile radius of recent battle lines was a rarity, and an undamaged church almost unknown. With their high steeples, the churches have furnished most commanding observation points, and sooner or later some well-sized shells have struck them. Strange pictures are occasionally presented by these ruins. At Bonnine, a hamlet perched on the heights northeast of Namur, shells have pierced the walls of the church, tower from each side. The tower stands on four precarious corner legs of brick, and a gaping hole reveals the framework of the chimes, whose tones are now hushed. The Belgians had a lookout with a field telephone in the tower. The churchyard tombstones had been upset or marked by flying splinters of shells, and one coffin had been bared by a plunging projectile. A hooded arrangement of iron, faced with glass, containing a wreath of immortelles, had been demolished. "Here reposes the little body of our M——," says the inscription of the marble slab. The name, except for the initial letter, has been defaced by a fragment of shell. The fierceness of the conflict at Bonnine can be judged from the appearance of a field near the church. It contains about an acre of land. appointed by him approved by the county superintendent from the selected one suring the first fifty members additional teachers employed in the county not having ciples.

In all this acre there is no spot ten feet square where a shell has not fallen. Evidences of equally tremendous shell fire are seen inside the fortress at Glvet. There, in a plot between two of the forts, some 140 by 250 feet, thirty-three shells had pitted the earth, and sixteen had struck upon the walls surrounding the plot. Near Tilliv les Moffalnes, west of Arras, a cemetery was throughout a whole day the scene of desperate fighting. After the French had been driven out, they made a desperate attempt to dislodge the Germans. There is hardly a grave in the cemetery whose headstone is not broken or faced, but the most prominent object in the enclosure, a crucifix some thirty feet high, does not show a single mark. TO IMPROVE COURTHOUSE The board of supervisors has started an investigation of architects and builders to see if it is feasible to add two stories to the courthouse. If it is found that the foundations will stand the additional weight and the beauty of the sandstone structure be maintained, a contract for the additional stories will probably be advertised in July. The present building was built in 1910 at a cost of $100,000. At that time it was thought that the Courthouse would do for many years to come, but the growth of the county and its official life has crowded the building to its limit. Several offices have been located in the basement. BACHELOR RECLUSE KILLED Travelling along the county highway without a light, Carl Winsel, a bachelor or recluse of La Habra, was instantly killed Saturday evening, shortly after dark when the buggy in which he was riding was crushed like an eggshell by a heavy truck driven by S. O. Day of Los Angeles. The accident occurred only a few which it affords. "Expert supervision of (rural) teachers is imperative. No individual in any field of activity who works alone, receiving neither help or suggestion nor recognition, does his best work alone. In addition, the rural teacher needs training in her work. It is passing strange that we should imagine we are getting the best service from a teacher when we put her as far away from public opinion and expert supervision as possible. Even a good teacher does not know enough to fulfill all her task when thus isolated." WALNUT GROWERS TO BUILD NEW PLANT Santa Ana Association is Growing, Needs Larger Quarters With practically not a dissenting voice, sixty members of the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' Association, in session, expressed their approval of a suggestion that the association build a new packing house. The rapid growth of the association has made the need of larger quarters imperative. It is almost assured that when the walnut growers meet on March 9 they will vote to put up a new plant. During the discussion, the new house of the Fullerton association built last year, was referred to as a model. Should it be decided to follow out the same general lines of the Rutherford plant the proposed house at Santa Ana will cost between $9000 and $10,000, including equipment. Charles Thorpe, secretary of the California Walnut Growers' Association, of Los Angeles, was present at the meetings and made a talk in regard to market conditions and the outlook in general. He said that there was at present a fair market on good walnuts. USING WATER EIGHT TIMES An Unusual Instance of What May Be Termed Intensive Water Conservation Power that is being developed upon many surface streams in the west and southwest today, is being applied to the recovery of the water of those same streams, after it has sunk into the earth in the lower lands of the valleys. This deserves to be recognized as intensive conservation of natural resources. The finest example of this sort of water conservation is to be found along the Santa Ana river, in southern California, writes Howard C. Kegley. Some of the water of this stream is stored in gigantic reservoirs in the San Bernardino mountains, and the flow of the stream is thereby regulated. After the water passes from the reservoirs it is diverted through a power plant, where electric power is generated. Below this power plant the water is all distributed and used for municipal purposes and irrigation around Redlands and Highlands. Such waters as return from the irrigation are recovered in springs and flowing wells and by pumping plants, a portion of the power developed higher up on the stream being used for the pumping. The waters thus recovered are used for irrigating in the neighborhood of Riverside and San Bernardino. Some of the same water reappears in the river above the Riverside narrows, and it forthwith taken out into a power ditch, the water therefore being returned to the river somewhere near Corona. A few miles below Corona the water is again picked up by canals and distributed to the orange and deciduous groves around Santa Ana, Orange and BACHELOR RECLUSE KILLED Travelling along the county highway without a light, Carl Winsel, a bachelor or recluse of La Habra, was instantly killed Saturday evening, shortly after dark when the buggy in which he was riding was crushed like an egg shell by a heavy truck driven by S. O. Day of Los Angeles. The accident occurred only a few hundred yards from Winsel's home. Day was unable to see Winsel's rig till within a dozen feet of it, being blinded by the lights of an approaching touring car. His heroic effort in skidding his wheels and ditching the big truck was of no avail, Winsel be horribly crushed. The truck belongs to F. M. McCormack of Los Angeles, and was loaded. The coroner was notified and an inquest was held on Monday. RURAL SCHOOL SUPERVISION One of the most important innovations projected for the school system of California is that of rural supervision. It is provided in Senate bill No. 452, introduced by Senator Anderson of Orange county, and in Assembly bill No. 1115, introduced by Assemblyman Scott of Tulare county. These bills are the result of the close examination made of elementary schools by Dr. Margaret Schallenberger, commissioner of elementary education, during the past year. The bills provide for the reorganization of county boards of education and a salary for certain members, who thereby become supervising assistants under the direction of the county school superintendent. The method of arranging for this supervision is briefly as follows: The county board of education is made to consist of the county superintendent of schools and four other members appointed by him from a list of names approved by the board of supervisors. The county superintendent may then appoint from the four persons thus selected one supervising member for the first fifty teachers, and one supervising member for each one hundred additional teachers, or major fraction, employed in the school districts of the county not having supervising principles. Thus any county with from 101 to 200 rural teachers would have two supervising superintendents to model. Should it be decided to follow out the same general lines of the Riverside plant the proposed house at Santa Ana will cost between $9000 and $10,000, including equipment. Charles Thorpe, secretary of the California Walnut Growers' Association, of Los Angeles, was present at the meetings and made a talk in regard to market conditions and the outlook in general. He said that there was at present a fair market on good walnuts. One thing that is affecting the market, according to Thorpe, is that there are large shipments of inferior walnuts in New York at present and that these are being sold at from five to eight cents a pound. Thorpe cited one instance of 50,000 sacks of French walnuts having been received in New York. The stock in this shipment was mouldy and was sold at very low prices, the buyers preferring an inferior product at a low price rather than a first class product, such as is shipped from California, at a good price. The Santa Ana association has already received 14 cent per pound for its No. 1 nuts, and A. C. Tiede, secretary, stated that he fully expected that the growers would receive a half-cent additional by the time the returns are all in. Secretary Thorpe brought a check for $6000 from Los Angeles for the Santa Ana organization and stated that he would send down an order for a carload of walnuts. There are only four carloads of walnuts left at the Santa Ana association and these will all be disposed of in the near future. LIKES BASEBALL DIET By his persistent swallowing of all the balls which came through a slit in the canvas separating him from the contest, Edward VII, a big Nubian ostrich at the San Diego fair, threatened to put an end to the baseball game which was going on in the space beyond his yard. The attention of Edward's keeper was attracted by the bird's rushing the length of the field in pursuit of a rolling object, which, when overtaken, was devoured forthwith. On the first occasion, the keeper paid little attention to the bird's activities; on the second, he became curious; and on the third, he started an investigation. Before he could act, however, a fourth object rolled down A BOGUS BURGLAR In response to a call that a masked man was prowling around Pollerino on the Newport road, Undersheriff Iman and Deputy Sheriff Eells made a hurried trip to Pollerino Thursday. The telephone message said the man had been seen. He had on a white mask. Some boys thought they saw a gun. Iman and Eells went out into a barley field and found the alleged masked person, a woman. The woman's mind is evidently unbalanced. She had a cloak over her head, and a white scarf around her face. In the darkness she had appeared to be a man wearing an overcoat. She gave her name as Sarah Herde, and said she had been living with a family named Oleson. As yet that family has not been located. She told a long story about having had her husband murdered by Indians thirty years ago. She said she was captured by the Indians. The woman says she came from Norway many years ago. LICENSE TAX FOR PROFESSIONAL MEN By Taxing a Man's Ability Would That Discourage Enterprise? A nominal tax on professional men in Oakland may be affected by an or- appointed by him from a list of names approved by the board of supervisors, the county superintendent may then appoint from the four persons thus selected one supervising member for the first fifty teachers, and one supervising member for each one hundred additional teachers, or major fraction, employed in the school districts of the county not having supervising principles. Thus any county with from 101 to 200 rural teachers would have two supervising superintendents to visit and assist country schools and teachers. The compensation for supervising members is fixed by the board of supervisors and shall not be less than the average paid to teachers of the eighth grade or more than three-fourths of the salary of the county school superintendent. In no case shall there be more than four supervising members. The non-supervising members of the board are paid a per diem and expenses while attending meetings of the board of education. No supervising member shall hold less than a full grammar grade teacher's certificate, and where there are one or more high schools in the county, one member of the county board of education must possess a high school teacher's certificate. The salaries shall be paid out of the same fund from which the county school superintendent is paid. The vital need of such supervision of rural schools as is provided in these measures is succinctly stated by Dr. Schallenberger in her annual report to the state board of education, from which the following excerpts are taken: "It is obvious that the most widely attended school of the people will always be the elementary school and many of he state's most intelligent and worthy citizens—indeed, many of its most caluable leaders in all fields of life's activity — will receive no other technical education than that The regular monthly report of Bee Inspector J. E. Pleasants has been filed by that official. The report is a very good one, and speaks well for the excellent manner in which the bee keepers of the county keep their apiaries. During the month Mr. Pleasants has examined 745 colonies of bees, and found all to be in the most healthy condition, with the exception of three hives, which were so little diseased that he has not ordered them destroyed, but they are being treated with every prospect of having them as healthy as the rest of the hives in that especial colony." LICENSE TAX FOR PROFESSIONAL MEN By Taxing A Man's Ability Would That Discourage Enterprise? A nominal tax on professional men in Oakland may be affected by an ordinance which Mayor Frank K. Mott says he will introduce in the city council. Commissioner W. J. Baccus has presented an ordinance amending the present license ordinance of the city by removing architects from the list of those paying license taxes. "It is unjust to architects to make them pay a license when other professional men do not," explained Baccus. "We'll put a tax on all of them, then," suggested the Mayor. "It's bad policy to place a tax on a man's ability," declared Commissioner F. C. Turner. "It discourages enterprise. Tax property. Don't tax brains." "There's a little woman down on a street corger that I know," answered Mayor Mott. "She has a little store, with a stock of groceries and notions. That's her stock in trade, her ability. You tax her stock. She pays more taxes on her little business, which brings her a meager living, than a good architect does on his offices and this license tax put together. But his income is ten or fifteen times that of the woman with the little store. You tax her for the right to do business. Why shouldn't you tax the architect? This tax of $5 a quarter doesn't amount to anything to the architect. He ought to be anxious to pay it. He is protected and taken care of, and given business through being in the city. He ought to be glad of an opportunity to help support the city government.
