Show Wants to Insure Bonds. Washington, D. C. Jan. 10 Secretary Secre-tary Carlisle proposed an issue of bonds to the eenate committee on finance this afternoon. Voorhees, Harris. Jones of Arkansas, Vest, Sherman, Allison and Jones of Nevada were present. Secretary Secre-tary Carlisle eaid he wanted authority to issue bonds. He thinks the issue of bonds ia the best way to meet the apparently ap-parently rapidly approaching crieis in the treasury. The secretary stated that, instead of increasing, the government govern-ment receipts had continued to diminish, dimin-ish, until there was coming to be a monthly gap of about ten millions between be-tween the receipts and expendituies. Therefore he favored an issue of 3 per cent, bonds, running three, four or five years. The committee dispersed without action, ac-tion, but enougii whs developed to show that it will be very difficult to agree upon a bill. |
