Addition to the working force the mine, as stated in the announcement, probably 100 men means another substantial payroll in the Juneau dis- trict from which the merchants of this city are bound to benefit.

L us, therefore, hope that the President and | will not approach this problem in the cavalier | manner that has been so evident through the borrow- ' and-spend years. Let us hope instead and let us, as a responsible self-governing people, insist—that the President and Congress address themselves to the task with the determination and courage that its magni- tude commands. It will be difficult. The government's tax reve- aues for the current fiscal year will be approximately one billion dollars less than the President estimated a few months ago, or about 600 millions less if we ex- clude the drop in receipts anticipated from the spec- | ial funds levies for rail pensions and social writy. The deficit this year probably will exceed three billion dollars, bringing the accumulated public debt increase for the depression-reco period to more than twenty-two billions, ‘ Estimates of revenues for the next fiscal year must be reduced in line with this year’s disappointing re- turns. Realities should compel us to revise our ex- penditures accordingly Then, when revi if they till do not meet, the only honorable and safe way mt will be to readjust federal taxes to get whatever additional revenue is necessary to bring those figures into balance. The Roosevelt administration has less than four cars to go. In that time the President wants to bring about many liberal reforms that will make for better life among a people of whom he finds one- hird to be ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed. His ambition is a noble one. To achieve it he hould keep in mind his own warning uttered four yvears ago.

Venus smiles on the in- terests of women, especially upon their romances. This should be a happy wedding day. Brides may be inclined to-: ward secrecy regarding former love affairs. Long partnership is pre= saged. There is a sign indicating deter- mined movements that ‘seek to prevent drinking, especially among women in society. Agitation for pro- hibition will be revived. Something unfavorable affecting the navy is foreseen. There may be an accident to a warship or the close of an important career among United States naval officers. Young folks probably will find ;lu\ an auspicious date for dances nd other recreations. It is a lucky rule under which to become en- gaged. The of per: vanced stars favor the retirement ns of middle age and ad- from positions of im- portance. In the ndw era, now well started, the rising generation will take over the helm. Gossip may be widespread under configuration. Those who are wise will bridle not only their tongues but their thoughts. Return to conservative customs in dress and entertaining is prog-! nosticated. Lines now will be drawn between those who observe tradi- age ‘tional good manners and those who lare inclined toward too much hi- larity. Persons have the augu whose birthdate it is of a year of great end contentment will be the lot of m'my men and women. Children born on this day prob- uhl) will be lovers of beauty. Ar- tists and poets belong to this sign of Taurus. Lorado Taft, American sculptor, was born on this day 1860. Others who have celebrated it as a birth- day include Edward Rowland Sill, poet and educator, 1841; Matthew Vas philanthropist, 1792; A. H. J.
