there Is a military organization, kept
for the purpose of quelling internal dis

ceive enough money from its revenue
and other sources, with which TO pay
all government employees and other
of the government. Taking

'lubroom next door, from information
obtained, not one cent of government
money is used there. The expenses are
by the officers themselves.
