Fear of Bond Issuance as Government Finances Tighten
A Washington dispatch reports that within nine months the Democratic administration may need to issue bonds to fund government operations as Treasury receipts, especially customs, fall sharply while expenses rise steeply. The surplus left at March 4, 1913, has dwindled by about $0.0 billion. Officials hope income tax will help, but fear its yield may be less than expected. The income tax was projected to bring 30 to 70 million annually, with first collections due by June 30.

Defends Old Soldiers in Senate Dispute Over Post Office
Missouri Senator Stone challenged charges of anti veteran dismissals in the Post Office and city office. He cited only one former soldier demoted since the new administration, ten affected in the city post office, and argued veterans deserve generous treatment based on official Post Office data. Gordon rebutted, saying some cases involved dismissals under prior administrations and that many “resignations” were used to skirt the law.
