It's to find an extra $600.- 000,000 to pay the deficit which has arisen for the flscal year beginning next June. Additional taxes would not | |be popular. And vet revenues must be increased somehow. The Treasury Department hasn't announced any plan by which it _hopes to wipe out that big deficit. Probably it will be tempted to remain silent So as to in- ifluence Congress to economize still | further. But naturally there will be a demand that the executive branc the government demonstrate how deficit is to be met. Tax Recelpts Shrink. One of the principal reasons for the {deficit is the shrinkage of tax re- celpts, which is due partly to the poor ! business conditions of the early part iof this year and the preceding year. I But business conditions are better now than they have been and meg truth is there should be a noticeable | increase in revenues. { the rural communities, reflected in 80 many districts where republicans hostile to the aaminixtration were | nominated and clected has made a ! deep impression on the authorities | here. Both parties are trying to! prove themselves the friend of the farmer. So it all cofes down to this: The short session of Congress which be- gan this week will have the shipping and farm problems thrust upon it together with the inevitable struggle to reduce expenditures and find ways and means to pay the forthcoming deficit. If is can even reach conclu- |sions and vote on all three issues, Congress will have done an unprece- dented amount of work in three months. | the I | —_————— DIES AFTER GIVING PARTY TO SING FOR HIS DEATH NEWARK, N.

S. im Liquor Proceedings. The District Court of Appeals in an opinion by Chiet Justice Smyth today denied an gpplication of United States Attorney Gordon for a mandamus against Robert E. Mattingly, acting judge of the Police Court. to compel the signing of a bill of exceptions by which the government sought to re- verse a ruling of Judge Mattingly in the case of Frank P. Hall. Judge Mattingly had ordered the return of a quantity of liquor seized in a garage when police and revenue officers raided Hall's near-beer saloon at 1000 and 1002 7th street southwest last October. The liquor was also suppressed as evidence. Contention of Plaintif's Counsel Attorneys D. Wright and Philip Ershler for Hall opposed the manda- mus, claiming, as did Judge Mat- tingly, that the order ivas not a final one and could not be the subject of an appeal. ‘The appellate tribunal declares it was error for Judge Mattingly to de- cline $0 sign the bill of exceptions and asserts the question of the ninality of an order is for the appellate court to decide. The error, however, was not prejudicial, because the or- der was not final, and if it had come before the appellate court on an ap- plication for a writ of error with the bill of exceptions signed, the .appeal would have had to be refused. Comment by Court. The court tuok occasion to say that the _moment the liquor is surrendered to Hall the United States can again seize it under proper legal process, if it is ‘satisfied that the ciaim of Hall that he is in lawful possession of it ‘for his own use under the prohibition law is mot correct~ A % | | | i | | Married Koreans wear a long oyter robe which it is forbidden to wear before marriage.
