The Sixty-fifth Congress is. dead. .Ijeace to Hb ashes. There may be somo dispute about its soul, tor It died in a Jangle of filibustering r.nd unpassed bills, ot day and night discussions of the League ot Nations, of bills to raise money by the billions, and of bills to spend money by the billions, ' of pleas for economy and exhortations to extravagance. Even now no one knows Just where ' the poor treasury of tho United States Is to get off. Even new bond issues . -will have a difficult time in piling up '.' 'funds as fast as the Congressional ex penditures for war and peace pur poses would drain them out of the treasury. One thing" Is certain. The chief duty of the special session whenever Mr. "Wilson calls It will be to raise money to .keep the Government in operation. For money must be raised By the bil - keep 'he treasury afloat. And tjElSjds where the Interest of the Pro , .J&cUbnlst majority rIn the new Con egress will develop Into action; for it is a foregone conclusion that no rev- -ehue bill In, the new Congress will be presented that does not contain an - adequate inclusion of the old Protec- Ive Tariff policy. There were prom ises enough of this in' the events of the old Congress. Many a time, even . the Democrats would have been glad if they could have cut loose from their party platform long enough to help raise governmental funds by a good stiff customs duty. Revenue bills are not so easily mado as it looks from the outside. Th's was demonstrated with some dramatic ef fect by the eleventh hour effort of the Dempcratlc majority in the House of ' Representatives to take the luxury ,' ' taxes out of the newest war revenue 1. m 00 i 1 1 1. i .1 ! by the President That was an !nter .esting spectacle. For even while the measure was In conference the pro ponents of the luxury taxes realizo't that they had made a grievous mis take and that the levy of these taxes would cause so much trouble to col lect and so much complaint from tho people who had to pay them, that the party In power would lay up a lot of trouble against election day- At the same time they constituted a serious handicap to general business. So the statesmen who were tinkering on the revenue bill In the conference com mittee agreed that something ought to be done. However, there was noth ing they could do. The rules that gov erned their task were such that they bad to leave' the luxury taxes In tho ' measure, and trust to luck to get them out afterwards. The' luxury taxes complained of, 'however, represent an annual pros pective income of about $140,000,000 : bo. that their disappearance would add another Incentive to speedy Tariff re vision upward; for these deficits must "bo covered, and It would be hard to find a customs duty whose collection would causo half tho trouble or one tenth the annoyance that the luxury , taxes promised, If this is not enough there will be plenty of reason in the almost cer tain deficit under tho new revenue bill Itself. The treasury estimates put Its , receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, at $0,077,200,000, includ. Ing the luxury taxes. But there are plenty of other good guessers who in- , nist that the treasury experts have figured too high, and tlit they havo taken no account of tho. slump In rev enues which will arise from the very operation of some features of the law Itself, because of ito restrictive chocks on business In general, and becauso of tho rovenuo situation attendant upon Prohibition and the extension of " "bone dry" territory. ' Vot there is every prospect that tho ' expenditures for the current fiscal 'year will run to $20,000,000,000 of which $7,000,000,000 Is covered by last ntono will amount to $1,275,000,000. To this ho adds $1,000 000,000 for our future army and navy, expenses. 000.000,000 for pensions and Insur ance, and at ienst $1,000,000,000 for ordinary governmental expenses. How ho Is going to raise that with out a substantial Protective Tariff that will' help-to fill tho itreasury and nt the same time keep our industries n'lvo so they can pay taxes, ho has not told, nut as he Is to bo succeeded by a Protectionist chairman ot tho Ways and Moans Commlttco In tho new House.

These words we send to you. still .thrilling with tho Joy that was ours when they came to us: not for the promlsb of work curtailed; not for the lining of n financial' burden from weighted shoulders, but for their re sounding cry of victory, heralding a thanksgiving call to all the nations of the earth. tlx months ago we urged you to dedicate your services and your money to the usb ot the government thnt vic tory might bo ours. Tho magnificent response from the women of Oregon, and other states, by their consecrated loyalty and generous support played no small part In brlnglng"Joy to the world on, tho eleventh of last November. Our money, lavishly loaned and used, was the dynamic force that prostrated the German barbarians, and stopped tho slaughter of our ' splendid manhood.
