Jf the tax-revenue is less than that amount, the deficit goes over for payment from the revenues of the succeeding year or years. If the tax- money raised exceeds the District’s 50 or 60 per cent of the total appro- priation, the surplus goes over to the District's credit, to be used as District tax-revenue in the succeeding year or years. ¢ Thus the' nation is assured of the collection from the District of the full percentage of the total appropriation which the law requires the District each year to pay, and the District's The triumph is here, and let us a]l hope it bas brought,.er; will bring, what all desire—improved conditions, greater prosperity, greater love of country, in all sections.

Unless the game of golf you play. You take a little every day, and the Springfield Union (repuvi- can) think that, as the former puls it, Austria’s smash is “undoubtculy to become, as it should, a south Ger- man state, like Bavaria, with a trade outlet to the world.” The Rochester Times Union (inde- pendent) considers that the fall of the republic relic of the Hapsburg empire is “partly the inevitable result of the war.” but adds that “it is in no small degree the sinister result of the sel- fish and unwise politics pushed to an only too successful issue at Paris.” The Charleston News and Courier (democratic) expresses the hope that the tragedy “will impress upon the French the inevitable result of a poli- oy that allows the defeated states no chance to effect economic recovery.” The Rochester Democrat and Chroni- cle (republican) puts the blame on President Wilson, - whose = ‘“catch- words” were put into effect by the peace conference. The New York Herald (independent) feels that the old world, and perhaps the new, “can get Austria on her feet again” and this will be necessary, because “Austria is the victim of greed and force, parading under a thin veneer known as self-determina- tion. and smugly calling itself right- eousness.” The treaty makers, it con- ‘tinues. “failed to heed even the sim- Some newspapers consider that Aus- tria is suffering from conditions with- in herself. The New Times (inde- pendent democratic) finds that her troubles have come “partly through war weariness, partly through ex- haustion and starvation,, partly through Inexperience and incompe- tence.” The “medieval reactionaries of Budapest” are held respansible for these weaknesses. The Detroit Free Press (independent) explains simply that “the country stands where- it does today because its rulers and its people were fools, not merely because they were wicked—though they as- suredly did sin outrageously,” but be- cause they were “bunglers.” Another view is_expressed by the | Oklahoma City Oklahoman (demo- cratic). It is “probable.” it declares that those “mainly responsible” for the plight of Austria are “the bol- shevists and other radiecals” Fur- thermore, the people themselves “did not have the moral fiber to stand up under defeat.” but “loafed around” and “bewailed their defeat” while the reds seized the government. Canada on the Tariff Bill Although Canada i3 not specifically mentioned In the Fordney tarift biil as the ogre that is oppressing the American farmer, there is little doubt, even in the United States, about the identity of one of the economic foes against whom our agricultural inter- ests are demanding protection.
