'if Commercial j The Federal Club Meetings Finances Matters at Married Tues Washington day Evening Ml . 1 LOCAL AND PERSONAL I The Plattsmouth Commercial Club In. Id its regular meeting Tuesday night at Coates Hall. A goodly number of the business men were present. Re ports were made from the officers and committees. The matter of the basket factory was taken up and discussed, and a commit tee consisting of E. A. Wurl, Guy Mc Maken and L. W. Lorenz were appoint ed to investigate the matter and see what can be done to encourage the in dustry. The matter of the I'lattsmouth and Cass country interurban railway was discussed and the importance of build ing it seemed to be the general senti ment. Mr. R. B. Windham stated that there would in the near future be some outside capitalists here to look into the matter, and asked that a committee from the commercial club be appointed to meet with them and and discuss the matter. Messrs. George E Dovey, E. II. Wescott, C. W. Baylor, and J. M. Roberts were chosen to represent the Commercial Club. The sentiment is rapidly crystallizing in favor of incor porating an interurban railway com pany on the plan ontlined in the last is sue of the News-Herald. That is on the plan which would include all of the business men and others who might de sire to become the incorporators. This is the only equitable plan for such an incorporation and would be a safe guarantee of the success of the enter prise. It is an enterprise in which all have an interest and all arc enabled to be let in on the ground floor basis. The Nkws-Hekai.d cordially endorses such plan of incorporation. We have advocated the interurban railway enter prise and also have advocated this plan of incorporating the company. It is the right way to do the whole thing. It can all be done very easily. The club extended a vole of thanks to the News-Herald for very neatly printed stationery furnished to the secretary for correspondence of the Club. It is with very great pleasure that we note the addition to the membership of Messrs. L. C. Sharp and W. A. Sharp. These two new members are numbered among the enterprising busi ness men of this city. Mr. L. C. .Sharp has become quite distinguisncd as an inventor and manufacturer.

WESCOTT'S SONS. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Coolidge makes a statement showing an improved condition of the federal finances for the month of March. He said: "There is no foundation for the widely circulated report that the pay ment of over $."(), 01 Ml.OOO of claims against the government now due has been postponed by the treasury for want of ready cash. "On the contrary, the department is abreast of demands upon it, honoring requisitions, and no payments are post p ned for future action. All claims are met as fast as appropriations therefor are made by congress. While the ap propriations and expenditures of the government are increasing annually and the expenditures for the current fiscal year are largely above the revenues for the year, the available cash in the treasury is equal to all demands that may be made on it for some time. The revenues from imports have recently shown substantial gains and should these continue the treasury is in g'od condition to await the approaching re adjustment of the tariff. "So far from the treasury being in a desperate way, the outlook is better to day than it has been before in months. The revenues for the first fifteen days of March have been $26, 4:10, 75(5, as against 20,7X5,256 for the correspond ing period a year ago, an improvement of over 27 per cent, while the excess of expenditures over receipts for the same period has been $l,50!i,2i:i, as against $1,371,741!, an improvement of over C5 per cent. The revenues for the first fifteen days of March were greater than for any corresponding period in the last five years. "The new administration comes into office with the general fund of the treas ury in as good condition as it was at the beginning of the administration which has just come to an end. The available cash balance on March 15 was. $1.'15,087,!)H2. On March 15. l!W5,at the beginning of the last administration, the available cash balance was $141, 4H8, 4:56. and by August 23, llo:. it had fallen to $12:5,704,710. The working balance on March 15, llO0, was 860,561 514. On March 13, 1!W5, it was $:J6,870 7'M. The free told in the treasury general fund March 15, 1!)0! was $87, 531,825. On March 15. 1!05 it was oniy $57,588,250. "Thus it will be seen that the condi tion of the treasury does not justify the disturbing reports which have gain ed currency." Advertised Letter List.

Demo crats and republicans both vote for him. President Tuft sends a brief message to congress urging prompt action on the revision of the tariu". "1 have convened the congress in this extra session in order to enable it to give immediate consideration to the re vision of the Dingley tariff act. Con ditions allccting production, manufac ture and business geiictally have so changed in the last twelve years as to require a readjustment and revision of the import duties imposed by that act. More than this, the present tariff art, with the other sources of government, does not furnish income enough to pay the authorized expenditures. By July 1 next, the excess of expenses over re ceipts for the current fiscal year will equal $100,000,000. "The successful party in the late election is pledged to a revision of the tariff. The country and the businoss community especially expect it. The prospect of a change in the rates of im port duties, always causes a suspension or halt in business because of. the un certainty as to the changes to be made and their effect. It is therefore of the highest importance that the new bill should be agreed on and passed with has much speed as possible consistent with its due and thorough considera tion. For these reasons, I have deemed the present to be an extraordinary oc casion within the meaning of the con stitution, justifying and requiring the calling of an extra session. "In my inaugural address, I stated in a summary ( way the principles upon which, in my judgment the revision of the tariff should proceed and indicated at least one new souice of revenue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for me to repeat what I then said. "I venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country re quire that the attention of the congress in his session be chiefly devoted to the consideration of the new tarifr bill and that the less time given to other sub jects of legislation in this session, the better for the country.
