( By a Special Correspondent. ) _ What would you think , Mr. Business Man , of a commercial firm that made a daily practice of spending all the way from § 150- 000 to 1,000,000 more than it took in ? If you were a stockholder of a concern the books of which each night showed a balance on the wrong side of the ledger , would you not desire to sell your stock ? And if the practice of reversing profits should be kept l up day after day , week after week , month . after month , and year after year , you would most likely demand a re - organization of the business meth- ods of the concern , would you not ? On the day this article is pen- ned , Uncle Sam's excess of all disbursements over all receipts amounted to $196,574 So far this fiscal year ( which began July 1 , 1909 , ) the men in charge of the government have over-spent the receipts by 4529161487. Since the beginning of the fiscal year , 1908 , the expenditures of the gov- ernment have exceeded the re ceipts by 190,977,632.24. . 'Where , " inquires the layman , "do these amounts represented by the excess of disbursements over receipts , come from ? How does it corne'U ncle Sam doesn become financially f embarrassed ? " The government has but one i source of revenue , and that is the people. The shortage represented by the difference in disbursements and receipts is taken from what is known as the general fund. At the beginning of the fiscal year 1908 the amount in the general fund was 27206144547. . Today the general fund has dwindled to 81,083,813.23. . Anticipating that the general fund will need replenishing from time to time , ( particularly if the republican machine is to be kept intact , ) the party in power has ar ranged for the issuance of bonds. This is not a solution of the deficit I , problem. It is merely borrowing to pay the losses resulting from extravagance , instead of stopping the extravagance to prevent going into debt. Here are a few comparative fig- ures which best tell the story of progress in republican extrava- gance : ANNUAL APPROPRIATION. j 1890. . . . . . . . . . . . . . § 340,000,000 1900. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 600,000,000 1909 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,103,387,508 : PER CAPITA COST OF RUNNING GOVERNMENT. 1890 , § 6. 1900 , § 8. 1909 , § 12.40 How does all this concern the ' the-I' I average citizen ? , , I The per capita appropriation by congress jumped from § 6 in 1890 to § 12.40 in 1909. Since the gov- ernment raises the bulk of its reve- nue at the custom houses and in- ternal reuenue offices , you , Mr. Reader , are paying for republican extravagance in increased prices. ' 1 . I. -o - / . The sliip subsidy bill is' beaten so far ar this session of congress is concerned. It goes to destruc ' . / ' tion on the rocks of scahdall. The Merchant Marine League , the organization which . , is backing the bill providing for the annual pay ( ment of 5,000,000 of public funds to a few private ship owners , is being exposed before a special in- vestigating committee of congress as being backed by men who j would profit directly or indirectly , j thrbu b . the passage of the pro-J , . . - posed legislation. These men , most of whom are millionaires , have contributed to the funds of the league , and the funds have been used in turn to attack and terrify members of congress op posed to the subsidy grab. Al- though officers of the league testi- fied contributors to the league treasury were interested in the passage of a ship subsidy bill merely as American patriots anx ious to see the merchant marine built up , a cross examination of the very witnesses who made such assertions brought out the fact that two of the vice presidents of the league were directors of the steel trust , and that another vice president was the general . manager . of a Newport News , Va. , ship- : I building company , concerns which might easily profit through the opening of the pork barrel by L the passage of a ship subsidy measure. - o - "The democrats are nearer to - electing , a president of the United States than they have been since ' 1892 , " says Governor Claude A. Swanson of Virginia who recent- ly completed a tour that extended to the Pacific coast. S4Not in years have the democrats shown so much activity , so much desire to shake off lethargy , to hold har- mony banquets , and to get to - gether as is manifested in all , as sec- tions of the country at this timfi. With such--a spirit pervading the leaders and the rank and file of democracy , taken together with " the dissension among republicans , I can see no other result than a democratic house and democratic president in 1913. " . , f\ -0- President Taft still refuses to relent in his opposition to a con- gressional investigation of either the sugar underweighing frauds or the sale by the government of valuable sugar lands to the sugar trust. The first resolution intro- duced by Rep. John a Martin : of Colorado providing for an in- vestigation by congress was smoth- ered to death. Mr. Martin has now introduced a second resolution. He alleges that the sugar trust has been allowed to acquire 55,000 acres of the richest sugar lands in the Philippines , and that the va- lidity of this transaction is open to most serious question , in view of the fact that law of Philippines expressly declares that not more than 2,500 acres of land shall be sold to any single corporation. Sanction was given to the trans- action in question by Attorney General ' Wickersham , who was a former member of the New York 1 sugar trust law firm of Strong & Cadwalader , which firm Mr. Mar tin declares was directly concern- ed with the alleged illegal sale. President Taft's brother is still a member of this firm. Whether the president can much longer prevent a sweeping investigation of the entire scandal is extremely . doubtful. -0- Offices'of standpat republicans resemble mail order houses these days. To head off impending de feat , the standpatters are burden- ing the mails with millions of packages of garden seeds , farm- ers' bulletins , maps , speeches and horse doctor books. Not a few of the regulars are uneasy as a re- sult of the recent election in the Thirty-second New York district , in which Havens , the democratic candidate , changed the 1908 re publican plurality of 10,167 into a democratic plurality of 5,831. - The a W.
