Thomas H. Paynter, former United
States senator from Kentucky, with
the Lorimer-Munday hank, was made
public at the district attorney’s of
fice.
On July T, 1912, the report shows
that Paynter owed the bank $29,150.
Two weeks later, on July 14, Lorimer
was ousted from the senate by a vote
of 55 to 28, Paynter voting in favor of
Lorimer.
The record shows that Paynter made
no reduction in the balance against
him between July 2 and September 30.
On Oct. 22. when the bank became a
state institution, the balance against
Paynter had been reduced to $21,650.
Paynter made various payments up to
June 2 last, when the account was
wiped off, but he started a new one by
obtaining a loan of $2,676. Ten days
later the hank failed.

JAPAN PRESS
IS INDIGNANT
Tokio, Japan.—The Japanese press

Several newspapers insits that a

The Nichi Nichi is especially vio

what it cals Japan's flattery of Amer

PREDICTION OF
INK DEFICIT IS
ONLY A DREAM
So Declares Democratic Leader
Underwood to the House in
Analysis of Govt’s Revenues
For Hqjf Year Ending Tues
day
Receipts Will Be $733,000,-
000, Leaving a Surplus of
$30,000,000. Next Year Re
ceipts Are to Be Swelled By
$100,000,000 Through the
Income Tax.
Washington.—Fortified with ..offi
cial figures from the treasury depart
ment, leader Underwood
today told the house there would be
no deficit in government finances and
that any prediction of one was a
dream, based on wishes springing from
political antagonism.
In an analysis of the government’s
financial situation, Mr. Undyrwocd
announced that th e total receipts of
the government for the fiscal year
ending next Tuesday would aggregate
$733,000,000 leaving a surplus of $30,-
000,000 and that with only half
year's operation of the ineom" tax.
That did not include Panama expen
ditures, estimated at $35,000,000. Next
year, he declared, Panama expendi
tures virtually would pass away, and
canal receipts would pay running ex
penses.
For Collecting Tax.
M. Underwod’s speech was in sup
pot of the senate amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill to in
crease the treasury fund for collect
ing tile income tax from $1,000,000 to
$1,500,000 which the house finally
agreed to.
Mr. Underwod explained the in
crease was for collecting the income
tax from persons and corporations
trying to evade it.
"For next year,” He predicted, “we
can be asured of collecting more than
$100,000,000 from the income tax
even if no more proportionately is
collected titan was collected this y^ai 1
and more proportionately will be col
lected.”
$22,000,000 More.
Mr. Underwood said customs receipts
; were producing in the current year
$22,000,000 more than the administra
tion had expected and that the treas
ury department reported these figures
of the total revenues for the current
year just ending:
"Income and corporation tax $7.1,-
000,000, which had been estimated at
; $95,000,000. Internal revenue $309,-
| 000,000, estimated at $312,000,000. Cus
: toms receipts $292,000,000 esimated
|at $270,000,000. Miscellaneous re
ceipts $57,000,000, estimated at $59,-
! 000,000.”
Representative Payne, of New York,
I author of the last Republican tariff
] law% contended that the Republicans*
I should have been credited with some
| of the receipts in the current year, as
i the reduction in the tariff rates under
the Underwood bill did not cover tlie
I entire fiscal year.

came from.
Senator Stone said he regarded tho
giving out of information about what
toop place in the committee meetings
as “a disgraceful performance.” He
read into the Congressional Record a
statement declaring that all .newspa
per reports of what had occurred in
meetings of the committee were “un
authorized and inaccurate, and are
moreover unworthy of belief, because
whoever gave ut the alleged informa
tion betrayed the confidence of the
committee and government and delib
erately violated his word of honor." •
