SURPLUS IS EXPECTED FOR NEXT YEAR "Social Reforaaa" Oa of the Featarea f Preeeat Poller of Go re ra t, Acrordlnar to tho Caaacellov. LONDON, April 18. No budget statement of recent years had been awaited with so much Interest as that submitted by the chancellor . of the exchequer today. The budget of last year really waa only a legacy from the previous administration, so today's proposals constituted the first real budget of a liberal government in twelvs years. The financial statement issued by the treasurer In advance of the chancellor's speech Informed the house that the exact realised aurplua for 1900-07 was $26,955,000, which, In accordance with the law, would be devoted to the reduction of the puillo debt. Chancellor Asq-ulth estimated the expendi ture for 1907-1908 at $703,785,000. The revenue on the existing basis of taxation was estimated to be. ;20,9oO,0Oi. The permanent reduction of the national debt for 1905-07 wss announced to be $68,- t:o,ooo. The duty on tea waa unchanged. There will be a difference hereafter on the tax on earned and unearned Incomes. A rebate of 4 cents In the pound, sterling ($&) would be allowed ' on the Income tax on earned Incomes under $10,000 a year. Mr. Asqulth estimated the loas In the differentiation of the Income tax at es,io,ooo. . . A revialon of the death dutiea so as to " affect the loss from the Income tax waa suggested. .seech of Aeqatth. Mr. Asqulth opened his speech with a brief review of the past year, pointing out that with the exception of the stock mar kets, which suffered from the money stringency, trade at home and abroad had been remarkably flourishing. The treasury receipts were over $10,000,000 In excess of the estimates, unanticipated death duties accounting for $4,000,000 of this sum, while the balance was made up of Increaaed re ceipts from the coal duty and the mint. The latter was due to the Increaaed demand for coinage on account of the prosperous state of trade and the large amount of sliver, sggregatlng $2,500,000, required for various purposes In connection with the general election. The latter remark reminded the public of numerous petitions to annual elections on account of alleited bribery and called forth ' much laughter. As a whole the revenue returns, the chan cellor added, had not shown great elasticity and in view of the undoubted prosperous state of trade they were distinctly disap pointing. ' The reduction In the tea duty In the last budget had been followed by increased con sumption, amounting to 4.50O.0UO pounds. The revenue from tobacco had realised expectations and there had been a progres sive formidable decline in the revenue from the alcohol group since 1T99 until last year. Redaction of Kxpensea. There are no signs of a definite reaction, and the present year had furnished an in crease of $3,470,000 In these ruceipts. Turning to the financial year of 1907-8, the chancellor estimated the eapertu'ture at $7u3,7t5,000. a reduction of $k,J4,Ul compared With 190(,-7. On the existing busts of taxation, the revenue fur the forthcoming year was es . tlmated at I'ilX.HiO.Ouu, showing an estimated surplus of I17.luo.0io. Discussing the liabilities of the state, the chancellor announced, amid cheers, that the permanent reduction of the national debt In the course of IV -7 amounted to M,. ;o,ooo. Further reduction of the national debt, declared e. Asquith, was the paramount duty of the government, but behind all that wta the uncunquered territory of social reform. "I ant not a socialist," aald he, ."but there . is nothing that appeals to us so loudly and Imperiously as the poaaibllltles of social reforms." The government's ministers, according to the chancellor, regarded old age pensions aa the must aerloua and urgent of all the demands of social reform, It waa their in ORIENTAL RUGS Ramge Dldg.. 405 S. 15th St. Most magnificent stock of Oriental Ruga ever exhib ited in Omaha at about 75 cents on the dollar.

The sum of $7,500,000 was set aside In the budget for theee pensions. Continuing, the chancellor said that If these objects, namely, the strengthening of the national credits and the creation of a fund for social reform, were to be carried out he could not do r.nythlng Involving a permanent diminution of the revenue. He was satisfied that a further leduction In the duty on tea. by I cents would not bene, fit the consumer and he did not propose to make any change this year In indirect tax ation. Income Tax Changes. The chancellor intended, however, to deal with the Income tax Incidence, which in Its present ahape worked unjustly. The scheme must be one which without de stroying the productive character of the tax would differentiate between earned and unearned Incomea. Earned Incomes under $10,000 a year would hereafter only pay 18 cents, while the existing tax of $4 cents in the pound sterling ($5) would remain on unearned Incomes. . In conclusion the chancellor said that after making all reductions he had a de portable surplus of J9,lflR,0O0 and he pro posed to keep $1,665,000 for emergencies. The remaining $7,500,000 would be Invested in the sinking fund and set sside for old-age pen sions next year. He estimated that dur ing the year the national debt would be reduced by $85,000,000 and that the nucleus of a fund for the honorable relief of necea- sitlous old age would be Commenced. In addition to the $7,500,000 set aside there would be $3,750,000 of uncollected arrears of this year's Income tax. making a total of $11,250,000. The chancellor relied confidently on further economy In expenditure and counted on the support of the house and the government In this direction, FRENCH READY FOR TROUBLE Nothing- la Matnre of Demonstration la Intended by Ships OS Morocco.

REPEATS STORY IN NEWS LIBEL SUIT Day Is Largely t'onaaaied with tho Depositions of This ' Man Relatlag to Tom Denalsoa. Through depositions repeating his testi mony In the Denrrtaon Red, Oak trial, Sher man W. Morris, better known as Sher clIlT, the man who served many year In the Fort Madison penitentiary for the Pol lack diamond robbery, waa the star witness In the Lennlaon-Newa libel suit before Judge Estelle yesterday, and In his affida vits the statement was brought out that he had been pair by the Civic Federation In reference to his testimony at Red Oak, receiving the remittances from "a man named Bmtne." "Has Elmer Thomas ever sent you any mrineyT" he waa asked. "Not personally." "Pld you not receive regular remittances while you were In Logan T" "Not from Thomas." "Who were they from?" "From Brome." "A representative of the Clvlo Federa tion T' "I believe so. "Why did he send you the money?" "Because I refused to stay here In lours unless I got regular wltnena fees." He denied the fact he got the money would affect hia testimony In any way and also that he had made a proposition to Dennlaon for money. A deposition from George B. Burrler, an Inmate of the penitentiary at Anamoaa, la., was read touching on the reputation of Dennlaon In Omaha and vicinity. He ad mitted he had been a thief since boyhood and that Lewis B. Fay of. Clinton, la., who was associated with Elmer E. Thomas, had been working lor a parole for him. ghercllff Repeats Hla Talc. The entire morning sesaion was devoted to a continuation of the deposition re garding the alleged connection of Dennlson with crimes recounted by Morris. Most of the deposition la a repetition of his tes timony in the criminal case aganst Dennl aon at Red Oak, After the1 reading of the direct examination Attorney Eagan began the reading of the cross-examination di rected mainly to questions tending to dis credit Morris. Morris went Into consider able detail in telling his story of the Pol lock diamond robbery on the train near Missouri Valley. There was nothing new In all this; It was the same oft-told tale of how this desperado slugged and robbed this man with $76,000 worth of diamonds I on nis person, tne same testimony used against Dennlson at Red Oak. A part of the deposition that caused considerable laughter related to an at tempted holdup which, Morris said, Dennl son had told him about. 'He told me he and Tom Farrell went to a cabin In Kokomo, Col., opened the door and turned loose with 44's at the bunk. He said they only succeeded In shooting the In the toe." The cross-examination began with quea- tlons to show that Elmer Thomas, as at torney for the Civic Federation, had writ ten to Morris, or Shercllff, while the latter was In the penitentiary at Fort Madison, and that he saw Thomas' when he waa re leased from prison. Mr. Van Duaen ob jected to bringing Elmer Thomas or the Clvle Federation Into the case, but Judge r.stelle admitted a part of the questions as bearing on tho question . of the ejoog ralth of the wltners. Morris said when he was paroled Thomas was there and accom panied hist away from the penitentiary. . May Have Raid It. "Did he not say he was trying to get Dennlson In the penitentiary?" he was asked. 'He may have: I don't remember that he did." "It la true yon are not very friendly to ward Tom Dennlson, Is it notT"- "Yes, air." "Are you not personally unfriendly and hostile r' "I am very unfriendly to him." " The witness denied he would make an untrue ststement to Injure Dennlson. "la It not true you have threatened his life?" "No. air." "Did you not make threataT" "I made a statement to his brother that If he tried to kill me or have any one do It I would start In and keep on till I had wiped out all the male members of the Dennlson family." The witness said he started on his ca reer of crime when he was 17 years old and was prosecuted at that age In Geneva, 111., for robbing a safe. He had been con fined In three penitentiaries. When he was aaked If he did not hold up a houae of Ill fame In Denver and get about $4,000 In jewela and money, he declined to answer on the grounds he might incriminate him self. The questions sought to bring out the fact that it waa at this holdup, and not by the holdup of the two women In Bait Lake City, as he had previously tea tilled, that he got the tS.ooO worth of dla monda.

Such a record Is said to be without a parallel. During the year $75,000,000 has been ex pended in the work of reconstruction, one third of which was furnished by the sav- ' Ings banks, which, in common with all the ! financial Institutions, withstood the dis 1at8f without "a ' sign' of "vea"kne8s". Over $30,000,000 has been paid for labor; 50,000 men are now engaged in the building indus try, while before the fire only 20,000 were at work. Temporary construction, which for a while prevailed, has ceased and per mits for the erection of flrst-clasa fire-proof structures, to coat over $50,000,000, have been granted. The restoration of old buildings which survived the flames, now In progress, will require the expenditure of many millions more. About 300 mllea of atreet railways rendered useless are now In running order.
