PNGRESSMAY Solve nation’s '"DEBT PROBLEM Only Slight Prospect of New Liberty Loan, Says Secre tary of Treasury. EXPENSE TO BE CUT WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Leaders in .congress today declared that there were Lglight chances of another Liberty loan, as predicted by Secretary of the Treasury Glass, If congress embarked on “new fields of large expenditure or reduces taxes.” Representative Mondell of Wyom ing, republican leader of the house, was of the opinion that congress would re duce expenditures materially instead of increasing them. The secretary of the treasury gave fig ures showing a reduction of $759,622,840 in the gross debt of the country since Ajig. 30 and correspondingly large reduc- in the floating debt on loan cer tificates and miniatured treasury certifi cates of indebtedness. “It will no doubt be recalled,” said secretary Glass,'••that on Sept. 8, In an "onnclng an issue of tax certificates I made certain statements concerning the government’s financial position ad pros pects for the balance of the calendar year and said that the turn of the tide had come. Now that the figures at the year’s end are In hand it appears that my most sanguine expectations have been more than realized. GOVERNMENT DEBT CUT $759,622,841. the basis of treasury daily state ments, the government’s gross debt on Aug. 30. 1919, was $26,596.701,6b5. On Dee. 31 it amounted to $20,537,078,807, a leductlon of '5759,622,841. “Its floating debt (unmatured treasury certificates of indebtedness) on Aug. 30, was $4,201,139,050. On Dec. 31 it amounted to $3,575,485,800, a reduction of $622,653,- 250. "The portion of the floating debt re quiring to be refunded (so-called loan certificates) on Aug. SO amounted to $2,- 012.387,500. On Dec. 31 it amounted to $1,326,661,000, a reduction of §685,726,000. “The loan certificates outstanding on Dec, 31 were of Issues maturing Jan. 2, Jan. 1,5, Feb. 2 and Feb. 16, 1920, and have been or will be paid from cash on band Dec. 31 and from the proceeds of the sale of tax certificates thereafter is sued, thus consummating the treasury's plan for financing the unfunded portion of the war debt in such a way as to avoid any large funding operations. GRADUAL reduction ■of WAR DEBT SEEN. “As to the future, it may be stated positively that -unless congress should enter upon new fields of large expendi ture not included In the treasury’s esti mate or should make a reduction in the amount of taxes, in addition to the re duction made a year ago upon the rec ommendation of Secretary McAdoo from about $6,000,000,000 to about $4,000,000,000, we may look forward confidently to the retirement of the floating debt out of the taxes provided by existing law and mis cellaneous receipts comirig within the general head of war salvage (although further Issues of tax certificates In diminishing amounts will be necessary from time to time in tbe intervals be tween income and profits tax installment payments), and to the gradual reduction of the funded war debt through the op erations of the Liberty loan bond pur chase fund and sinking, fund already created by law. “On the other hand, should congress embark upon new fields of large expen diture .or further reduce taxes it will, as I have already indicated, be clearly necessary to revise the treasury’s plan and call upon the country to finance the resulting deficit by tbe issue of anew Liberty loan." phiployes Take Hand I in Publishing Paper [•, Arrangements have been made to print 'ttre official house publication of the Hib ben-Hollweg employes in the future, in stead of typewriting It. as was done in the first issue, which has Just been re leased.

Louis Waldman and Charles Solomon, two of the suspended members, said their known intention to demand a probe of tbe Lusk legislative committee, which has been inquiring into bolshevist ac tivities, was mainly responsible for their suspension. “We have Information relating to the committee and we are going to present it to someone,” said Waldman. “Whether It will be sent to the governor or be taken up with the United States senate, I am not prepared to say at this time.” Following a meeting of the committee of eight yesterday, it was intimated that an efTort would be made to return Charles E. Hughes to act as associate counsel, with Morris Hiilqult, for the suspended socialists. The assembly will reconvene in Albany tonight, but the judiciary committee which will investi gate the charges against the socialists will not begn with In inquiry before Wednesday.

Ohleson of 415 South Colorado Ave., Kansas City, Mo., in telling of bis won derful recovery by the use of this medl cine. Mr. Ohleson was for four years city building inspector for Kansas City and now is a general cQntractor. "I have been in poor health for about a year troubled with indigestion, dls- ! ordered kidneys, neuralgia, nervousness,! headaches and a run-down condition." j he continued. “I hhd a poor appetite! and what I did eat caused so much gas j to form that my heart would palpitate j something awful. I was bothered a ! great deal with my kidneys’ and l had a severe pain across the small of my | back. Neuralgia troubled me constantly and terrible headaches often came on me. i I was so nervous and miserable at night j that I could get only three or four hours ! of restless, broken sleep. I war: in an j awful run-down condition and felt weak j and worn-out all day long. “I began to read about Tanlac in the | papers and when I saw Capt. Ennis’ j statement I knew right then that there was something to it and I got a bottle ' at once. T certainly was not dlsap- I pointed, for after the very first few-j doses I started to feel better and now that I have taken three bottles all my j troubles have left me entirely. M.v ap- j petite has returned and it makes no dis-. ferenco what 1 eat I digest it without the least trouble. The neuralgia has left me, so have the headaches. My kidneys are In splendid condition and the pains across my back have disappeared. 1 sleep all night long and when morning comes 1 am feeling rested and refreshed. I consider Tanlac a powerfnl builder and I have never taken anything that gave such remarkable results.” Tanlac is sold in Indianapolis by the | Hook Drug Cos. and Haag Ifrug Cos., un- ! der personal direction of a special Tanlac I representative.—Advertisement.
