The new year dnwns with the liifit admission by politicinns tliat prohibition is now a live national is sue ('ik llryun was riftht. iSr,'"- -h Prohibition is Hie livest issuo at the present session of congress, not excepting; our old Iriend, II. C. of h. The senate, has done little else ex cept to debate the Sheppard bill for niakiii" the nation's capital dry. ccuples llotli Houses. On the house side tho constitu tional nmendincnt is to the front. The judiciary committee has reported this to the house lor its consideration. They failed to make consideration without recommendation. Their report "'passed the buck" first to the rules committee and sec ond to the individual members. The amendment cannot come before the house without n special dispensation from the rules committee, and it is to this body the prohibitionists will turn their attention now. Probably Rep resentative Henry and his associates will be clad to "pass the buck" again to the house and the members of the house, who hope to escape nn cmbur rassinjr vote, will be obliged to go on record one way or tho other. l'ass It on to States. To say the prohibition amendment will pass congress would be a .Very during prediction. It takes a two thirds vote in both houses to propose n constitutional nmondmcnt. - At the same time, prohibition has jieconie such an important political issue that it may be determined ns the wise policy of one or both parties to pass it on to the states, which would he the effect of. proposing a consti tutional amendment. ' . " Then the prohibitionists would have to transfer their activities to the state legislatures and make wiiinini? cam paigns in three-fourths of the states before the liquor traffic would be abolished by constitutional prohibi tion. The Anti-Saloon league professes to believe that help rather than op position may be expected from the white house. O'lonel llryun thinks prohibition will he the bit; partv issue in 1!'20. lie evidently, therefore, does not look lor the passage of the amendment or iU ratification if passed before that date.

Main. 0:uwiGaiUt liTFPFQRD Bigger 'Army and Navy Account for Greater Part of Increase Fiscal Year to Show Shortage of Hundred Million Additional Taxes and Sale of Panama Bonds. liy OII.SON GAliDXKli. WASHINGTON, .Inn. 10. Uncle ' Saul's budget for nex; year will be approximately a billion dollars. It U a gToVfujS budget, and the following year it will be n billion, three hundred million. The bigger army and navy aueount for the greater totals. The past fiscal year sriw nil "bills paid Oiit of regular revenues and about tarty million dollars margin in the general fund. It is estimated by Scorclarv of tho Treasury McAdoo that the fiscal year which ends June 30, 1917, will sec n deficit of about a hundred million and that at the end of the 1918 fiscal year the deficit will be nbont three hundred millions. To meet these deficits the authori ties 1lan to sell Panama canal bonds and to put on some additional taxes perhaps on coffee, rubber and wool. The above figures do not include (he postoffien receipts and expendi tures. That department pays for lt- lf and generally shows n balance to the good. - Cost of Government. The expenditures from the generul fund for the Inst fiscal year were as follows: :- For civil establishment, $204,048,- 737.01; military establishment, $122, .192,382.98; soldiers' homes, cemeter ies, etc., ifll,7!)2,!)12.14; rivers niid harbors, $32,450.301.55 ;. for naval establishment, irl.")f,020,42.'.78; In dian service, $17,570,283,81 ; pensions ,fl 09,302,351.20 r interest on public debt, $22,900,313.03; Panama canal. $17,503,728.07; for miscellaneous, $1,010,310,50:. ... Total, .. $741,906, 726.07. . . ; ; . . In the above table it is interesting to nolo that -the expenditure., for pensions exceeds what was spent on the active military establishment. In other words, the government is pay ing more each year on account of the civil war fought fifty-three years ago than it is for maintaining an army for present use. These figures are for the fiscal year which closed June 30, 1916, and do not include tho cost oX the militia mobilization on the Mexican border. liaising of lteveiHic This money was raised from the following sources; Customs, $213,185,815.63: internal revenue ordinary, $303,486,474.04; emergency taxes, $8 1,278,302.13 ; cor poration income tax, $56,993,557.98; individual income tax, $67,943,591.63; sale of public lands, $l,887,6i)1.80: mint service, $4,354,613.12; Panama canal tolls, $2,869,995.28; miscellane ous, $47,534,403.10. Total, $782, 534,547.77. Secretary McAdoo figures on more nioucy in the next two years. Ho es timates that the individual iucomc tax will yield $111,750,000 and the cor poration tax $133,000,000. He boosts the customs revenues also to $230,. 000,000 in his mind. In 1918 the secretary expeets to have $1,700,000,- OUO to spend; on the heels of which he will borrow $300,000,000 to meet the deficit. If pence comes nnd the naval pro gram is reduced this great outlay will not be required. CARS 10 ADVANCE An Increase of $00 In the price of the Chevrolet "four-ninety' .model becomes effective January 15. Continued Increase In the cost of materials and labor has forced this raise In the price, although it was announced a short time ago that there would be no advance in the price of the Chevrolet. "We held off until the last min ute," declared President DeVaux, "hoping that something would occur to make an advance In price unneces sary, but it is now apparent that the high tide of material prices has not been reached and we had to act. "I'p to January 15 our dealers will receive orders for the 'four-ninety' at the present price, but with the close of business January 15, the price ad vances $60. "The raise Is only sufficient to ab sorb the Increase In the cost of ma terials that go into the Chevrolet cars. It was a case of either reduce the quality and Fave the price, or save the quality and Increase the price. We hnve saved the quality." MTj; T1NTWKK MEDFOD. ORKIiOV. AVKDNKSDAY. .TANTAWV ID.

MADRID, Jan. 10.--The king's re. newal of confidence in the Hoinannncf ministry has produced an excellent impression, the more so as it was onlv given after the sovereign had con sulted the hiilie-t pers-onnges in the country who were unanimous in ad vising the retention of the government in power. Premier Romanones was actuated in a-king rc-indorsemi nl of the royal confidence by the violent enmpniens recently earned on against him.

Dr. (Justav Stresemunn. Uerinan national liberty deputy. In a speech at Hanover on Sunday, declared that Germany must emerge from the war in possession of the Flemish coast, uccording to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Times. Dr. Streseinann snld that Germany, although the second strongest eco nomic power In the world nnd poss essing the second strongest merchant fleet had not a slnglo naval support ing point to servo for defense In war times. "This war has annihilated our world trade," he Is quoted lie saying, "we havo forfolted our colonies nnd our cruiser squudron is lost. If therefore, the war ended without something of our former situation al tered the consequences for us would bo the collapse of our national econo my, because tho German merchant would not again risk seeing all that ho had created collapse the day after a declaration of war by England. It peace la concluded without Germnny possessing the Flemish const Kngland Is the winning nnd wo are tho losing Bldo. A neutral Belgium Is an histor ical Impossibility after this war." Dr. Streseinann added that with out tho future possibility of march ing through Belgium the Germans must fight tho next war on tho Rhino nnd not In France. He said One Pound Glass Humidors V'XCIV, TIlltKR they looked for German peace, not one under the protection of a, world peace alliance. Such an alliance, he maintained, meant u new Algiers con gre.s at which Germany would havo against her not only her present ene mies but a world of lieutruls. In the concluding part of hia speech Dr. Streseinann laid emphasis on the Increasing importance of sub :marlnes. He said that their full em ployment would raise the monthly toll of tonnage from half a million to a million tons. This, he said, would not only strike England In her economic nerves but would mean ifamlne for the English population. The speaker drew enthusiastic ap plause when he exclaimed: "Out with the U-Bonts." OLD-TIME COLB CURE i t DRINK HOT TEA!
