National finances face deep deficits amid wartime policy debate
The deficit for the current fiscal year is estimated not to fall below 30 million dollars, with receipts trailing 554.8 million and outlays exceeding income by over 152 million, driven by Democratic extravagance and wartime effects, as Treasury officials reassess tax yields and possible Panama Canal bond issues loom. In Atlanta, Georgia, Leo M. Frank’s clemency fate is deferred after the gubernatorial commission declines to recommend clemency by a 2 to 1 vote, citing no grounds seen to warrant mercy. In Minnesota, eight counties vote dry, leaving only Blue Earth and Olmsted with saloons remaining. Pipestone and Redwood flip dry margins to victory.
