may re-impose wartax SHORTAGE WILL REACH $100, 000,000 BY JUNE 30 NEXT. Congress Leaders Are consider ing Deficit and How to Meet It?Roosevelt and Cortelyou Brought Into Consultation? Deficit Already $50,000,000. Washington, Nov. 27.?A re newal of special taxation is con sidered essential by Republican leaders in Congress to meet def icit and constantly growing ex penditures, and an internal reve nue duty may again be imposed on many, if not all articles so taxed during the Spanish-Ameri can war. Adeficit that today aggre gates $50,000,000,and by June 30 next will total $100,000,000, has brought Representative Tawney, Chairman of the llouse Appropri ations Committee, and others charged with formulating the great money measures here in ad vance of the assembling of Con gress to consider the situation. Messrs. Cannon, Tawney and Payne have conferred on the sub ject. Mr. Tawney has talked the matter over with President Roose velt and Secretary Cortelyou. He has requested Mr. Cortelyou to prepare some data indicating the revenues derived from arti cles subjected to the war reve nue tax and to indicate others that may eventually be placed in the list. It has become evident to the leaders that a revision of the tariff will not materially increase the revenues. While lower du ties may bring larger imports in some instances, in others there will be falling off of importa tions, and thus the books will about balance. Secretary Cortelyou has given no intimation as to what his sug gestions will be, but they are cer tain to include a tax on coffee. Three cents a pound is the fig ure mentioned. This was the rate imposed up to 1882, when it was placed on the free list. It is also the almost unanimous sen timent that the tax on beer should be doubled, making it $2 a barrel. It is already virtually settled that there shall be no di minution of the rate on sugar, as it is the best revenue producer the Government has. A renewal of the war revenue act would almost exactly offset the deficit. It brought into the Treasury a trifle more than $100,000,000 a year. In four years $46,000,000 were collected on legacies, or an average of $11, 000,000 per year. Beer was the big money bringer of the war revenue law. The added dollar a barrel realized $30,000,000 a year. The tax of 10 cents a pound on tea was the next item in importance, bringing in $10, 000,000 a year. - It is desired to avoid, if possi-i ble, all the numerous stamp tax es, not because of their expen siveness, but because of their in convenience. A two-cent stamp was required on all bank checks and one cent on telegrams and telephone mes sages. Life-insurance policie | were taxed six cents for every $100 of value. Chewing gum was assessed four cents for every $l's worth. One cent was collected i for each palace or parlor car seat I sold or berth occupied. Railroad and steamship tickets were tax ed from $1 to $3. Bonds, certif icates, notes, bills of exchange, bucket shop and In overs' trans- I actions, bills of sale, agreements, j drafts, express receipts, bills of | lading, leases, protests, almost i every form of legal document were compelled to bear a tax stamp. National banks with a capital i stock of $25,000 paid $50, and I $2 for each additional thousand dollars of capital. Brokers and pawnbrokers were taxed $50 and $20 respectively. Theatre, concert halls and muse ums paid $100. A circus paid $100. All other shows contribut ed $10 each. Each billiard table or bowling alley was tax $5. The tax on tobacco and snuff was doubled, being raised from six cents to 12 cents a pound. The 'obaceo dealers were taxed froi i $6 to $24. according to vol ume of business. The tax on cigars and cigarettes was pr -por tionately increased. ! Thl? is Worth Reading. I Leo F. Zelinski, of 68 Gibson St., Buffalo, N.
