CONGRESS WILL FACE
, LEAN PURSE; MANY
PLANS TO FATTEN IT
Growing Opposition Among
Democrats May Keep Rev
enue Issue Out of the
Coming Session
LEADERS SEEK SOLUTION
WASHINGTON. Dec. .1 When Con
' opens it will face a lean pocket
Trnk iml the prospect of bigger expend!
tiiies than ever before. Democratic lend
rt, hate been racking their brains for
,.,l. mlr.g to devise the beat plan for
raising revenues to fatten the national
' Th'e'cron Ing opposition Inside the Dem
ocratic pnrty to the plan to keep the
revenue lsue out of Congress, nnd as far
os nolble out if the campaign, by Is
suing rhe 2in.f)O0.oO) 1'aliamn Canal bonds,
which are iivailible. ImR become ao mark
ed that there are signs of abandonment
0f the plan. If this li done, the Ad
ministration will be face to fnce, on the
eve of the rnmpalgn opening, with tho
ticecltv of raisins more than J2W.000.0OJ
revenue.
Intimation of the steps the administra
tion will take to meet the emergency baa
been Riven from time to time. Figures
ns to the amount that could bo raised by
reducing the exemption under the lncomo
tax lnw hy J1N hno been prepared for
Secretary of the Treasury McAttoo. Fig
ures have been fathered nlso as to the
production and exportation of munitions
of war.
Talk of a Federal Inheritance tax has
been renewed, but tho one thing believed
to be absolutely certain Is thnt there
will be no material revision of the Un
derwood tariff Senator Underwood has
been holding many conferences with the
Fictlrient trylnu to ijnd a solution for
tho problem. Tho Senator does not bo
lleve that a bond Issue would meet tho
situation, so far as the Increased na
tional defenso requirements aro con
cerned. It Is proposed to make tho In
creased expenditures permnnent, ho
points out, nnd ho doos not bellcvo It a
pood policy to lssuo bonds to meet cur
rent expenses.
Continuing tho tnx on sugar and re
enacting tho war tax bill will fall far
short of meeting the situation. Theso
measures will simply mnlntnln the present
Income, whereas It Is proposed to spend
approximately JIM.OOO.OOO mnto for tho
army nnd navy nnd $50,000,000 under tho
ship purchnso plan, while the total deficit
for the present year, which must be con
sidered In estimating how much revenue
will bo needed, will bo 05,000,000, If ex
penditures on tho I'nmima Canal aro In
cluded. Tho need of revenue has started talk of
a war munition tax among certain Demo
cratic lenders The latest suggestion In
this connection Is a specinl tax upon the
Incomes of tho corporations directly bene
fiting through tho sale of war munitions,
A 10 per cent, war munition tax would
give tho Government at least JMO.OOO.OCO,
according to figures of tho Department of
Commerce. Tho total Increased value of
tho exports of wnr munitions from tho
United States during tho first nlno months
of this year was 1,099,000,000.
On the Itepubllcan side, Senator Morris,
of Xebtaska, has ldcua about the way to
raiso more revenues. "I would Incrcaso
tho lncomo tax on largo Incomes, say
abovo J20.000." he says. "And I would
Imposo nn Inheritance tax like tho amend
ment I proposed to tho Underwood tariff
bill. In that I excepted Inheritances of
less than 50,000, but had tho rate pro
gressive until on very large Inhciltnnces
It would be one-half the total."

If It. W. Servlco had been trying to

tho now Universal film.
This story of the Northland tells ot a
Hudson Hay Company post far from
civilization, where the trading of furs Is
the means of livelihood to Indians nnd
white men alike. Here tho scheming
French-Canadian agent of the factor
plass for the hand of tho daughter of his
employer while stealing from tho com
pany, and seeking to throw the blame on
tho factor's son. Ho Is defeated by the
great Indian half-breed tranper, No-to-nan-gan
(Hosworth) and swears revcnin
His guilt Is proved nnd he Is sent "La
Longo Traverse," but escapes mid startB
to seek his revenge on tho trapper. The
icsult Is unusual and dramatic
Hosworth as tho halfbrecd trapper has
a role eminently suited to his forceful
but rather heavy methods. There Is a
certain lack of finesse III his acting which
robs tho character nf the nobility It might
have had In, say, Hobert I'doson's hnndfll
yet withal Hosworth Is dinmatlc nnd In
Unso throughout. The real acting honors
go to Jnne Novnk as .limit M-u 10ntn.ii,
the glil who loves tho trapper and runs
nwoy with him, nnd to Anna I.ohr as
Wehnonah, tho Indlnn girl whoso blind
devotion to nnd Jealousy of Na-ta-nan-gan
results In the tragedy at tho end.
The photography Is excellent, especially
tho Bccncs along tho rocky waterways of
this wonderful north country.
Tho most Interesting detail of tho pic
ture Is "tho leaders." Theso aro placed In
a rustic frame with plno cones and plno
around It, whllo tho words aro In tho
blank verso rhythm of Hiawatha. It
brightens n most nffcctlvo and attractive
atmosphere.
Tho accomplishment of tho IGOth conse

rection of Secretary of tho Treasury Mo

Held. Today It becamo known that thor
regnrd Its provisions fnvornbly nnd aro
willing to father the measure In tho
two houses of Congress.
Much of the opposition to tho Ship Pur
chnso bill ns It was reported from tho
committees In the Inst Congress was
based on tho provision thnt the United
States Government should operato tho
vessel?, retaining a majority of the stock
In them nt all times, t'nder tho new
bill It Is proposed thnt the Government
shall build tho ships, but tho vessels
nro to be leased or sold to American
corporations.
In addition to authorizing tho Federal
Government to Bpend 150,000,000 In con
struction of ships, tho new measure pro
poses that tho Shipping Donrd which It
creates shall have authority to adjust
ocenn rates In the same way tho Intcr
Matu Commerce Commission regulates
Intcrstnto rates.
