' ' "ifl XTY-Fl FT H CONGRESS DEAD.
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

the dynamic force that prostrated the
German barbarians, and stopped tho
slaughter of our ' splendid manhood.
The magnitude Of our preparations
struck Terror to the enemy, for It Ira
plied the obligation America had taken
upon herself, and her grim determina
tion to see it through to a glorious
finish.
