part of the average citizen. He is
drawing: upon the general storo of sup
plies in the country with almost the
same freedom as before America came
into the war. This cannot continue
without serious hurt to the Nation and
to the world. The great financial op

carried forward successfully unless the
people of the United States economize
in every possible direction, save their
money and lend it to the Government."

DIED AT COTTACrE liROVE
II OMR AT AGE OP T6.
WASHINGTON, Dec 5. Congress
was informed bySecretary McAdoo in
his annual report submitted today that
$5,128,203,793 must be provided in addi
tion to funds from taxes and bond is
sues already authorized in order to
make estimated receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1918, equal dis
bursements. If this Seflicit is met by
a new issue of bonds, the total amount
of securities to be issued in the next
seven months is estimated at $9,969,
433,850. For the next fiscal year, ending June
30, 1919. the estimated excess of dis
bursements over receipts is $7,627,
973.980. Huge war expenses and loans to
America's allies at the rate 6f $500,
000,000 a month have made these esti
mates many times larger than any ever
presented in a Secretary of the Treas
ury's annual report. Of the $12,316,
000,000 estimated ordinary expendi
tures for the year ending next June
30. $11,527,000,000 is for war purposes
and the proportion is about the same
for the fiscal year ending in 1919.
So far the Nation has borne the finan
cial burdens of the war well, says Sec
retary McAdoo, owing to healthy busi
ness conditions and the valuable aid
of the established Federal reserve sys
tem. In the future, however, increas
ingly greater habits of economy must
be developed by individuals and busi
ness institutions, the Secretary de
clares, and "business as usual" cannot
be adopted as the guiding principle of
the war. People must save and invest
in Government securities to avoid
postponing victory.
Knormom Figure Given.
"With this admonition. Mr. McAdoo
proceeds to cite the enormous figures of
Government receipts and expenditures
which are the fruit of war times.
Total estimated receipts for the cur
rent fiscal year are $12,580,732,800,
which, with a balance in the Treasury
last June 30 of $1,066,983,361; makes a
total of $13,647,716,161. Most of the re
ceipts, or $8,686,000,000, are'from sale
of bonds and war savings certificates;
ordinary receipts are $3,886,000,000,
largely from war taxes, and the Pan
ama Canal income is $7,000,000.
Ordinary disbursements are esti
mated at $12,316,295,223: loans to allies
in the year at $6,115,000,000: public
debt disbursements. $321,000,000, and
Panama Canal expenses, $23,693,000,
making total estimated disbursements
$18,775,919,955.
In order to allow for a balance in
the general fund of about $500,000,000
next June 30, Congress must authorize
raising of about $5,640,000,000 addi
tional funds. This figure, together with
the $3,666,000,000 of authorized but un
issued liberty bonds and $663,000,000
estimated" receipts from war savings,
make the $9,969,000,000 which Mr. Mc
Adoo believes Americans must loan the
Government between now and June 30,
1918.
Interest on Bonds Millions.
For the next fiscal year, ending June
30, 1919. the Secretary estimated re
ceipts at $5,176,000,000 and disburse
ments at $12,804,034,440, exclusive of al
lied loans. This makes $7,627,000,000
excess of disbursements: If the pres
ent rate of loans to allies is continued
in the 1918-19 fiscal year, $6,000,000,000
additional would be required. Esti
mated Interest on bonds to be Issued
this year is $385,000,000 and estimated
expense of floating the bond issues
$28,000,000.
Thus if the deficit is to be met by
bonds $14,040,000,000 worth must be
floated between July 1, 1918. and June
30, 1919, in addition to receipts from
war savings.
"While these figures represent the
situation as it appears today," the Sec
retary says, "it should be borne in mind
that the exigencies of the future may
cause changes, particularly with regard
to the estimates for the War and Navy
departments." The estimates on which
the Secretary bases his figures are
made by the various Government de
partments. The outstanding fact apparent from
these stupendous figures is that the
cost of the war to the American people,
including allied loans, for the two
years ending June 30, 1919, will be at
least $36,000,000,000.
Big Task Faces Country.
To the great task facing the country
Secretary McAdoo calls the people with
tnese words:
"What is of superlative importance
in the readjustment that must take
place is that our people shall be im
pressed with the necessity of economiz
ing in the consumption of articles of
clothing, food, and fuel and of every
7 other thing which constitutes a drain
upon the available supplies, material
ana resources of the country. Every
thing wasted now is little short of
criminal.
"So far as I have been able to ob
serve, the American people are not suf
ficiently aroused to the necessity of
economy ana or saving in this really
serious time, not only in the life of
- America, but of the nations of the
world. Tip to the present there has

SPECIAL SESSION UNLIKELY
Governor Says Nothing Impends to
Require Action.
SALEM. Or., Dec. 5. (Special.) It
is now practically certain that there
will be no extraordinary session of the
Oregon Legislature.
Governor Withycombe has declared
that the possibility of a special session
was remote and some entirely new and
unforeseen problems of importance
would have to arise for legislative so
lution before any special section would
be called before the regular session of
1919.
'Dependents of soldiers are cared for
in the Army insurance bill," stated the
Governor, "and apparently from inves
tlgations that have' been made into
the legal phases of the situation, la
bor problems could not be reached
through legislative action. Labor dif
ficulties, with but little exception, are
now pretty well in hand, as it is."

ings in every section of the city before

utive meeting ot the committee of 25,
held late today. Every church in the
city will also be asked to give up its
pulpit Sunday night to a speaker fur
nished by the committee of 25, who will
explain that the main object of the al
lied organizations Is to serve the Gov
ernment by bringing about a cleanup
of the city, and that they are committed
to the removal of the Mayor only be
cause they regard that as a necessary
step in the accomplishment of their
object.
Mayor Gill meanwhile reiterated in
even stronger language than he used
Tuesday night that he considered all
negotiations for the appointment of a
successor to Police Chief Charles L.
Becklngham at an end.
Ban Can't Be Lifted, Mayor Say.
"It is apparent now that the- ban
against Seattle cannot be lifted." de
clared the Mayor, "so l nave aeciaea
to keep the Police Chief I have, who
I believe Is as good a chief as I can
t. I am going to be Mayor from
now on until March 14. I have yield
ed everything. Including my own self-
respect. I have made concessions mat
were humiliating to Chief Becklngham
and myself."

produce additional witnesses to give

charges filed with the Council commit
tee by the committee of 25. It is un

based on the alleged use of the Mayor's
name in connection with the Merchants'
Protective Corporation and the failure
of the city administration to effect a
cleanup of the city.
