FUN IS EKED
SENATOR REED SMOOT, HOW*
EVER, ATTACKS RECENT FI-
NANCIAL STATEMENT.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—Secre-
tary McAdoo's plan for raising by in-
ternal taxes the additional revenue
needed by the government to meet a
deficit and cover the initial expense
of army and navy increases was - en-
dorsed today by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, chairman of the
finance committee.
Senator Smoot of Utah, one of the
leading republican members of the
finance committee, gave out a state-
ment attacking Secretary McAdoo's
general financial statement, Issued
yesterday. The Utah senator asserted
that all of the secretary's revenue es-
timates were too high and those for
expenditures too low and that mis-
leading book keeping changes had
been resorted to.
Differing from his fellow North
Carolinian, Representative Kitchln,
new majority leader of the house,
Senator Simmons announced himself
as an advocate of adequate defence
and merchant marine legislation and
expressed the conviction that the pres-
ent income tax exemption was far too
high and that gasoline and automo-
biles should share the burden of the
war tax.
"Although I have not had an op-
portunity to investigate closely the de-
tails of the administration's program,"
eaid Mr. Simmons, "I approve the
general idea which I understand un-
derlies it. With reference to pre-
paredness generally I think the senti-
ment of my state will be against what
has' been termed frenzied prepared-
ness, but overwhelmingly in favor of
common sense preparedness.
"I think the reasons why the gov-
ernment should provide for a mer-
chant marine are even greater today
than when the bill which failed at
the last congress was Introduced and

VfltaM you —y "HomjpKar
yog may got m Substitute,
J believe that the reason will be
stronger when the war closes than
they have been during Its continuance.
"Assuming that the treasury deficit
will be no larger next year than this,
it is evident that we will have to pro-
vide for raising a considerably larger
sum of money. I assume that the
present war tax will, in the main, be
continued with some possible
changes. I think that there will be
some additional subjects of taxation.
I see the suggestion that gasoline and
automobiles should be taxed. Speak-
ing personally, I was in favor of this
fax when the present Jaw was under
preparation. -
"I incline also to think the income
tax exemption is too high. It has re-
sulted in less than 500,000 people out
of a total of 100,000,000 paying the
entire tax derived from incomes. That
does not seem to me to be quite fair."
In his statement as to Secretary
McAdoo's figures, Senator Smoot as-
serted that they did npt correspond
with the daily statement of the United
States treasury, issued on the date
when the secretary's tabulations were
begun. ...
"The apparent increase of $87,164,-
650 in the treasury balance," said Mr.
Smoot, "was in bookkeeping alone and
was procured by the transfer from
the liabilities to the assets side of the
ledger of the disbursing officer's bal-
ances and the government bank note
redemption fund, both of which al-
ways have been recognized as liabili-
ties by the government and by the In-
clusion of subsidiary silver coin, minor
coins and silver bullion, none of
which had ever been reckoned as
available to pay the government ex-
penses."
Senator Smoot further declared that
when the present administration took
over the treasury in March, 1918,
there was a net general balance of
1149,335,711. On September 30, 1915,
he continued, that balance had been
diminished by $100,436,816.

Tltc Study and Application of Domes-
tic Art and Home Nursing.
The parents of the present genera-
tion of young girls owe a deep debt of
gratitude to Mr. Irvin Cobb for telling
them in the plalniest of plain Ameri-
can speech that the glamor of hospital
nursing exists only in the minds of the
lai'ty.
Nursing is the hardest, most trying
arid unromantlc work a woman can
choose, yet every woman should know
the principles of it, though she may
never have to put them into practice.
A course of homo nursing should
include personal hygiene, applied
physiology and after these important
topics, instruction in care of sick
room, bed making, practical bandag-
ing, first aid to the injured.
Invalid cookery is not, to my mind,
an important study unless it is car-
ried on under the direction of a
physician or well trained nurse. Too
often personal likes or dislikes or
some health fad is enlarged upon and
little enlightening work accomplished.
Girls there are, sagacious and ten-
der, who have the "knack" of com-
forting and soothing the ill and suf-
fering. Such are dubbed "born
nurses." But before they ■determine
to eleot to become trained in this
work let them see if there are not a
thousand other channels through
which their sympathy can flow as
helpfully.
Domestic art Is both Interesting and
praotical and a help to any woman,
wherever placed. Hand sewing, use
of sewing machine and Ms attach-
ments are the first lessons given.
Kimonos, aprons, complete sets of
bed linen and underwear are made to
show pupils the use of patterns and
to familiarize them In the application
of theories taught.
Exquisitely made garments delight
the hearts of women both rich and
poor. To know quality, to be able
to Judge when clothing Is suitable for
one's uses or a true bargain Is wom-
an's business. It Is Just as necessary
for the prudent, thrifty woman to be
able ito bring last year's frock into the
lines of the present lines of the sea-
son. Domestic art teaches you how
to buy and how to plan.
Embroidery and laces grow fast
under trained fingers and this fasci-
nating work, as well as basketry, rib-
bon and other weaving, belong to this
work.
TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. S«.—Net rev-
enues of All railroads operating in
Kansas except the Santa Fe and the
Union Pacific,^were less in July, Aug-
ust and September, 1115, than in the
same months of the preceding year,
according to reports filed today with
the Kansas public utilities commis-
sion.
This was brought about, according
to railway analysts, by the slow move-
ments of crops during the last sum-
mer. It was said that in 1914 farm-
ers generally sold their crops early
and took advantage of war markets,
while this year more crops are being
held. Two roads that showed in-
creases this year had the largest net
revenues both years.
The Santa Fe's report showed net
revenues in the three months' period
of $12,047,107 as compared with $11,
289,463 for last year, while the Union
Pacific report indicated revenues of
$11,417,502 as against $11,246,267 In
1914.
The Missouri Pacific railway com
pany's report showed the biggest
slump, dropping from $5,026,004 to
$3,959,906, while the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas showed revenues of
$2,278,582 in 1914, and $2,147,947 this
year.
In the same time the Chicago, Itock
Island and Pacific railway company
reported net revenues $4,033,948 as
against $4,979,324 in July, August and
September, 1914.
In this country last year motor ve-
hicle owners paid more than $12,000,-
000 for the privilege of using the
roads, and more than $425,000 was
paid in chauffeur's licenses.

Book Borrowers.
Some folks are rather funny; If
they should borrow money, they're
sure to pay it back: they're straight,
they're never willing to owe a man a
shilling, a shotgun or a tack. In all
life's common phases they are as
prompt as blazes, a debt gets on their
nerves; they.are so blamed punctilious
It fairly makes one bilious to contem-
plate their curves. But when they
borrow novels, and take them to their
hovels, to keep nine days or ten, you
may be sure the chances are that
those fine romances will ne'er come
back again. I am a chronic martyr;
my set of old Nick Carter was bor-
rowed long ago; and Laura Libbey'8
volumes, that stood in stately columns,
my shelves no more shall know.
Where are the cherished treasures
that gave me unmiixed pleasures In
olden, golden days? Oh, where Is
"Bolts and Fetters," and where "The
Life and Letters of Rutherford B.
Hayes?" To honest friends I lent
them^-«t their request I sent them—
and maybe they'll come back some
day when pigs are soaring, and pter-
odaoctyls, roaring, are roosting on my
shack.

Belton News
Kees Mexican Soldier*.
Belton, Nov. 26.—Constable -W. A.
Messer has Just returned from a trip
to El Paso and other points in west
Texas. While In El Paso he saw a
train carry 1,750 Mexican soldiers who
were being transported under guard
of United States troops from the
southern part of the coast country to
enter Mexico at the north.
Mr. Messer states that to him these
soldiers were a pitiable looking crowd.
Their clothing was poor and mea-
gre. Numbers of them were without
socks and many had only soles of shoes
tied on their feet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.—
Charles C. Crowley, charged with con-
spiracy to further the destruction of
ships bearing munitions of war and
supplies for the allies was arrested
late today and arraigned before
United States Commissioner Francis
Krull. Bail bond was fixed at $5,000.
Federal authorities kept Crowley
under guard for two days with an un-
served warrant in their possession in
a futile attempt to induce him to tell
of the alleged plots.
The compl&int filed against Crow-
ley charged him with seekinK to fur-
ther the destruction of ships and
docks by fire and dynamite. Three
money orders for a total of $350 were
mentioned as having been sent to Lew-
is J. Smith at Taeoma, Wash.
A statement issued tonight by J. P.
O'Brien, Crowley's attorney, said that
Crowley was an Investigator in the
pay of the German cons llate at San
Francisco, but denied that Crowley
had anything to do with dynamiting
operations.
Franz Boppe, German consul gen-
eral, said tonight he knew Crowley
and had at times employed him.
Crowley and Smith according to
the allegations in the complaint, took
employment with the Hercules Pow-
der company here last May in order
to obtain information regarding the
shipment of explosives. Specific men-
tion was made In the complaint of tho
explosion of May 30 of fifteen tons of
explosives on a barge In Seattle har-
bor; Damage estimated at $100,000
was done. The explosive was to have
been loaded on a steamship bound for
Vladlvostock.
Federal officers Indicated their case
would prove to be essential In the
prosecution of Lieut. Robert Fay, held
on similar charges in New York.
German electricians who experi-
mented decided that they obtained
better results by placing the carbons

Ownership of Vessels.
Washington, Nov. 26.—The state
department was advised today that the
American Trans-Atlantic company of
New York was securing affidavits from
its various stockholders in an effort
to prove that none but American citi-
zens and American capital are inter-
ested in the corporation's fleet of
merchant ships. Several of these ves-
sels flying the American flag have
been seized by British cruisers on the
ground of suspected German owner-
ship. Delivery of such affidavits to
the state department probably would
lead to diplomatic representations to
Great Britain.
Great Britain never has informed
the United States of the nature of the
evidence upon which it based its sus-
pected German ownership in the
company.

Her Fourth.
Elihu Root, at a luncheon In Al-
bany, talked about the veracity of
witnesses.
"Is it so remarkable after all," he
said, "that a good many witnesses
will lie?
"Once, in an Albany court, a lady
witness' veracity was seriously im-
pugned. She took the thing very
hard. She shouted at the cross-ex-
amining lawyer:
"'I want you to know, sir, that I've
never told but three lies In my life!'
"'And this one makes the fourth?'
said the lawyer."

German Financial Plan.
Berlin, via London, Nov. 26.—Tha
federal council has adopted a pre-
liminary bill for taxing the war profit*
of Joint stock compannies and cor-
porations. The measure does not levy
a tax. This is left for another bill
after the war. The present bill mere-
ly requires that companies carry as
reserves half the profits earned in
making wur supplies and invest them
separately from the ordinary re-
sources, thus holding them in readi-
ness for the final decision of the gov-
ernment.
Another bill deals especially with
the Iteichsbank. This measure con-
templates taking half the net profits
exceeding the average of the three
years preceding tho war.
French "Victory Loan."
Paris, Nov, 26.—Dispatches receiv-

places throughout France, indicate
the growing success of the "victory
Loan." It was announced that de-

especially from America, had been
filled.
While the ministry of finance ex-
pressed .optimism regarding the loan,
no official total figures on the sub-
scriptions are yet available. Some
estimates which have been made were
declared to be unauthorized and er-
roneous.
