The article argues the Underwood tariff act is faulty and fiscal shortfalls persist. It cites Secretary McAdoo noting a 168 million shortfall after defense costs and calls for revision rather than more shin plaster taxes on auto owners and high income earners.
The piece argues the Underwood tariff was a revenue measure and questions McAdoo's figures. It says the law could be seen as a tariff for bankruptcy and suggests Democrats bear responsibility for the income act’s failure to fund national administration.
A Philadelphia sweep suggests the old Republican organization gains ground as Bennet wins back a Bronx seat and Maryland narrowly supported by Democrats toppling a Republican governor. Analysts say such straw signals hint at wind direction though not final proof of party momentum.

The article notes Mr Mc Adoo stating a next year's deficit of 112 806 394 and the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce reporting October imports at a new high of 334 638 578. It attributes rising imports partly to the European war, beyond blame for revenue shortfalls.

R H Love, U S internal revenue agent, says the federal government will not recognize the prohibition amendment taking effect Jan 1 and will continue tax receipts for applicants.

Denver saloonmen with expired city licenses sought extensions to January 1 with F F Graves as deputy excise commissioner. Each paid 33.60 for the extension and five dollars for bond costs.
