Washington News.
( 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.

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.

"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. " .

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.

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.
