UNS0UGHT PROFITS.
One Of the Governments Sources
Of Income.
uARELEssNEss PARTLY THE CAUSE

Bonds, Notes and Stamps That Never
Turn Up For Redemption Leave
Substantial Gains - Stamp Collect
ors Furnish "a Large Revenue to
Uncle Sam.
The government of the United States
makes many thousands of dollars ev~
cry year through the carelessness or
misfortune of persons with whom 1t
has business to transact, says Wash
ington dispatch to the New York Tele-
gram. Merchants sometimes make
money in the same way, but the
amount is inconsiderable. II q mer-
chant gives a check in satisfaction of
an obligation and the check is lost the
loss can be proved and the amount re-
covered by the man to whom the check
was given. Sometimes it happens that
q man gives check which is afterward
destroyed, and possibly the man to
whom the check was issued never
claims the money. But this happens
80 seldom that the profit from this
source is one to which no business man
would give serious consideration in
figuring the possibilities of season.
But Uncle Sam, on the contrary, can
figure out pretty we'll before the be-
ginning Of the fiscal year that SO many
thousand dollars will be put to his
credit on the profit and loss" account
before the year is over. This will
come from bonds, United States notes,
treasury notes of 1890 and silver GER
tificates destroyed and never presented
for redemption, from unclaimed inter-
est on interest bearing securities, abra-
sions Of gold and silver coin, money
orders which are lost and never du-
plicated, as we'll as the humble postage
stamp which is not put to the use for
which it was intended
The amount which the government
makes in destroyed stamps each year
Is not determinable, but it undoubted-
" amounts to many hundred dollars.
The stamp collectors furnish a large
revenue to the government, for they
put away SldHpS dl tier Lace VALUE
and the postofice department is never
required to perform the service which
is represented in the purchase price
These profits are never cast up be-
cause debts Of the government are sell
dom outlawed, but they are as real as
3f they were credited to Uncle Sam
on the books Of the treasury depart
ment.
The value of missing United States
interest bearing securities of the earli
er issues prior to and during the civil
war on June so amounted to more than
$1,00O,00O. Those obligations, on which
interest ceased years ago, date back to
1847, and the outstanding amounts are
classified as follows:

He Could Hardly Get Up,

P. FL, Duffy Of Ashley, ILL.,. writes,
"This is 10 certify that I have taken
two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure

medicine I tried many advertised
remedies, but none of them gave me
any relif. My druggist RECOMMENDED
Foley's Kidney Cure and it cured me.

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-12-01

By this table it is seen that the
amount of outstanding securities on
which interest has ceased stands at
S1,196, S6026. In the last fiscal year
the only securities listed above which
were presented for redemption were
bonds of the funded loan of 1891, one
and two year notes Of 1868 and COM
pound interest notes. Some others may
be presented in the future to be re-
deemed by the government but it is
safe to say that in all probability the
larger portion will never turn up.
One Of the great sources of unearned
income to the government is the de-
struction Of thousands Of notes issued
from the treasury which pass from
hand to hand and reach all classes and
after floating around for years are lost
worn out or destroyed. The amount
of these unredeemed notes would be
difficult to estimate. From the first
issue, in 1861, to the present day the
amount would reach millions of dol
lars. In the single item of what was
known as fractional currency and more
yulgarly as "shinplasters, which was
issued during the civil war, there was
outstanding on June 30 S15,245, 1921,
of which the actuary Of the treasury
department estimates that S8,o00,O00
will never be presented, having been
destroyed.
The gold coin which is presented for
change at a subtreasury and which is
Good on itS face for 500 ia returned TO
the owner in money of different de-
nomination, but perhaps minus dollar
or more, due to its reduction in weight
since it was minted. This difference
while never computed, is a clear source
of income.
The carelessness which prevailed dur
ing the war period was responsible, SO
treasury officials say, for large
amount of missing money.

JAPAN's CONSTITUTION DIFFERS
Wherein 1t Departs From Those of
Occidental Nations.

There is an important difference be-
tween the constitutions of western
nations and that of Japan. The form
Ell are the outcome of popular upris-
ings against the tyranny of rulers-in
other words, of demand as of natur-
al right, by the people. Consequently
even in monarchical Europe, consti-
lay the greatest stress upon popular
rights, while at the same time cur
failing the power of the sovereign.
The Japanese constitution, on the
other hand, emanated from the emper-
or, the fountain head of all power.
Before the people dreamed of popular
rights or of parliament the emperor
had already marked out the grand
policy of establishing constitutional
government in the future, because of
his evident desire and purpose to ele-
vate the country to an equal place
world, not only because he wished it.,
but because that course was in strict
accordance with the national policy
heqUeathed by his ancestors.
Following that policy the Japanese
constitution was drawn up with close
adherence to and careful preservation
Of the fundamental principle of the
imperial government from time i'm
memorial
In form, however, it is similar to
western constitutions, with the differ
ence-that the text of our constitu-
ton contains only the fundamental
principles of state-namely, the pre-
negatives of the emperor; the rights
and duties of the people; the powers
Of parliament; the powers and Duties
of ministers of state, and judiciary.
and finance.
These are all embodied in seventy
six articles Matters of detail, such
for example, as provisions relating to
the rules and proceedings of parlia-
ment, the laws for the election of
members, the national budget, ETC.,
are separated from articles enUnciat-
ing fundamental principles, and are
embodied in laws supplem ntary to
the constitution and enact Jed az the
same time-The Century.
