Thli la now bring done for the annual re port of IIk KH-retury and until definite figntvi are known, the paymaster gen-1 rrale department will not make a a-iirka. With pluna matured, therefore, that Involve exnendlturei running well up Into nine ngur.-i, pVorelary Itage, on whom U plnred the ivapotiHlblllty of providing fuiiiln. hui brgun to take hla bearingi and prepare to m-t-t thme new demands. The admlnlatrution I unwilling to make another bond laaue, but If ll cannot be avoided, thla will be done. HiH-retary Ciage hai ample authority, ll la aaaerieJ, to Issue more bonds for the prosecution of the war in the 1'hll Ipplnea, The war revenue law author ized the Issue of 1 100.000.000 worth of certlfloatea of Indcbtednest and $400. Wi',000 worth of bonds. Two hundred million dollar! worth ot those bonds Were off-ivd at popular subscriptions and subscribed five tlmei over. The law says that the proceeds of the sale of those bonds shall be used "to defray expemtl'urvs authorised on account of the existing war (such proceeds when received to be used only for the pur pose of miking such war expenditures).-' It li held by the law offlceri of the! government that the insurrestlon In the Philippine la to all Intents and purp)a a part of the "existing- war" with Spain, for when the law was en acted the present condition ot affairs may have been anticipated. Congress, too, authorised the Increase In the army after peace was declared at a time when It was known the only, use -to which tt was to be put was In main taining peace In the new-possessions and quelling Insurrections. For these reason It lias been held that the sec retary of the treasury has full authori ty still further to encroach upon the securities' authorised by the war rev enue act. It can be said on tho authority ot treasury oflloluls who have been giv ing; the matter c,areful study for sev eral weeks,' that' the Fifty, Sixth con gress will' not lessen the war taxes imposed by the act of June 13, 1898. In some, quarters ha clamor tor a rvduc tlon.of,, th?e, taxes hns already begun, but the enormous expenditures to be Inuurred In the next J two; years not only forbids curtailment of these spec laT taxes,' but requires an enlargement of the general scheme' and a stoppage ht )h holes through which those sup posed to have been taxed have escaped. From ordinary Internal revenue tax ation last ; year the receipts were, In round numbers, $171,000,000. The war revenues - Included In round numbers $100,000,000. i With the customs duties and mlscelhinenus receipts added, a big deficit followed at the end of the fiscal year.. It is admitted that oustoms du ties ought not to be further increased. The only course, therefore from which additional revenue can be derived, Is from war taxeB or bonds, or both. Errors that crept Into the war rev enue law--errors unavoidable owing to tho haste necessary In effecting Its en actment In some cases have defeated tho Intentions of congress, while In others the courts have decreased the anticipated revenues. Section 20,- ol the law regulating the taxes on patent medicines, etc., exempt from stump taxes, "any uncompounded medicinal drun or medicine." Under a declnlon of Judge Brown, of the New York dis trict Qourt, this clause lifted out of the list of proprietary nwdtclne that were tupp'Mel to be taxed, nearly all coal tar products and every concelv al.le drug or cheiiili-al that can by any means be brought within the definition of the word "uncompounded." Thli, Die Internal revenue offlclali ia, has cost the government thouaands of dol lars. The effort will be made to per soade congress to remedy this defect In the law so that this dln-rliiilnitlon cannot exist. C'ongrea will also be nuked to remove tho ambiguity of the IsiiKiiMge imp'Mlng a stamp tax on proprietary medicines so as to Include many that have hitherto been able to escape through technicalities and by the disgiilHl.ig of their products. The revenue from the tax on proprie tary rnedirliiei Is not so large as was estimated and It may happen that con areas will be asked to Increase the present tax of Z1 cents on the dollar on all patent medicines, perfumes and cosmetics. It has become apparent to the revenue oltlclals that If any ade ouate Increase In the revenues li to be realised, ll must come from the fur ther Imposition of stamp taxes. Just where to Impose these taxes Is the question now bothering those In charge. For several weeks data have been quietly gathered by the secretary. The following are some of the sugges tion! that find favor among the reve nue ofllclali: The Imposition of a stamp tax on all patented protected articles, the theory being- that the value of the article Is greatly enhanced by the protection of he patent laws of the t'nlted States and that, as a war measure purely, the government would be Justified in demanding a fractional part of the profit! secured through the establish ment of a monopoly by virtue of the patent laws. It Is also proposed to place stamp tax on all slot machines In which there Is any element of chance. It has been found thst the manufacture of these machines has at tained gigantic proHrtlons. In each of them the percentage of profit to the proprietor Is enormous and the tax would not be oppressive. Of course this would not strike those machines which dispensed chewing gum. for In them thore Is no element ot chance and the gum already pays a govern ment tax. Another propoaltlon that has met with favor at the hands of the treasury department. Is one to put a stamp tax on alt Ore arms except such us are ua'd fur national, state or mu nlclpul purposes. This would, In all probability, be a pretty stiff tax and woul 1 yield a large revenue for the sale of fire arms in the United States reach es Into the hundred thousands of dol lars annually. A single tax less burden some Is suggested In connection with fire works. It will thus b seen that the depart ment has goue Into a field In search ot revenues that was discarded by cong ress when the ,var revenue bill was up for consideration. The member! of the senate finance committee were fav orably Impressed with the suggestion made to them, but It was abandoned because It was believed that sufficient revenues would be secured without further Increasing the burdens of tax ation, Now the expenditures of the government have been Increased and there Is no hope ot an Increase In re ceipts. I tenia that were originally booked for siwclal war taxes will again be considered and the scope ot the war revenue law enlarged so as to materially assist the treasury and It possible prevent another Issue of I bunds.
