SURPLUS IS EXPECTED FOR NEXT YEAR
"Social Reforaaa" Oa of the Featarea

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

tention to lay a firm foundation for this
reform. 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,

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
