TREASURY HAS A | SURPLUS. | ; \Income Tax Receipts Were Far Above the Estimates Made. Washington, July ‘government closed its fiscal year July 1 with total receipts of $838,403,969 and total disburse- ments of $759,666,159, an excess of $78,737,810, compared with a deficit of $59,436,580 for the year ending June 30, last. Both the | above the estimates made by Sec- retary McAdoo and swelled the ibalanee. Income tax receipts }amounted to $124,867,430, com- | pared with $79,828,675 last year, an inerease of about 15 million | by officials even as late ‘ago. Of the total, 957,488 from individuals. lat the close of the year was $236,- | 879,590, including amounts to the eredit of disbursing officers. The actual balance was $174,965,231. the largest balance in the general fund since 1908. In a statement analyzing the figures Secretary MeAdoo said larger internal revenue receipts | for the year have been due in great measure to ‘‘the unprece- | dented-presperity—of_the country and the vigorous enforcement of the internal revenue laws.’’ Custom receipts for the year. Mr. MeAdoo said, amounted to $211,866,222.34, as against $209.- 268,107.43 the previous year, and exceeding the estimate by more than 16 million dollars. “Receipts from internaly rev- enue,” said his sasdi. ‘‘reached a total of ~$512,740.- 769.58, and exceeding all pre- vious estimates by many millions. Ordinary internal revenue ceipts amounted to $387,87 339.30, and, excluding the emer- gency revenue from this amount, these receipts were approximate- ly 304 million dollars, or 32 mill- ion dollars greater than had been estimated.’’ Carries Death in Pocket.

DEMOCRATS SEE VICTORY IN STATE Excess in Vote Over Republicans in Primary Makes Leaders Confident. With 191,579 Democratic votes already tabulated and some yet to hear from in the primary elec- tion in Missouri last week and only 150,589 Republican votes reported, Democratic leaders are jubilant over the prospects of fearrying the state this fall. The Republican primary fights in Missouri were equally as hard fought as those of the Democrats. There was as much _ interest among the adherents of the Re- publican candidates for the gub- ernatorial nomination as_ there was among the Democrats. The Republican senatorial race was even more exciting, being three sided, while the Democratic senatorial nomination was all along conceded to James A. Reed, and his friends felt no effort to be necessary to get out a sufficient vote to nominate him. With 40,000 more Democrats than Republicans voting last week, politicians predict the elec- tion of Gardner and his state ticket to be assured and the choice of Reed for the United 310 Wesf Ft.
