Vital Washington News
Special to The Record.

Speclal 10 i he Record.
Washington, May 3lst.
One hundred and thirty three mil
lions of dollars.
Try to comprehend the magnitude
OF this sum if you can, and then
pause and reflect over the fact that it
is the amount the Senate has voted
to spend on the navy in single year,
in time Of profound peace. Then
cOnsi1er that only II years ago, ia
1898, the naval appropriation was but
S33, DOB 234, or one hundred millions
less than the amount appropriated
for the year ending June 30, 1911.
A fact il connection with this aw-
full Increase which the public seldom
hears is that every penny of this $780,
600. 900 which is to be spent In excess
Of the amount used in 1898 comes
from the people: not from the rich,
but largely from working men and
women.
1t is the ultimate consumer who
pays the battleship bills, who MAIN
tains an ever-increasing army Of Of
flee holders in Washington, and who
meets the northumberland ex-
travagances of the government. He
does it by paying excessive prices for
the things he buys.
The government raises practically
all OF its funds through the customs
houses and the internal revenue Of
ices, where taxes are levied on things
eaten, worn or used by the people.
When the consumer purchases a pro-
tected articIe-and practically all of
the necessaries of life are protected
he pays the real or natural value Of
the article and in ADDITION thereto
the amount Of the tariff tax.
The more battleships constructed.
the greater the amount the govern.
must must raise through the tax on
consumption, and the greater the
cost of living.
Thus it is not so strange that under
the Taft administration, which is
spending more than twice the amount
used by Cleveland to run the govern
ment. the cost of living is SO per cent
greater than under the Cleveland adj
miniStratiOn.
While the hat, coat and shirt of the
masses are taxed almost II per cent.
to build Sll.0OO,000 battleships and
keep an exLravagant government in
money, Messrs. Morgan,
Rockefeller and Carnegie are not askt d

In selecting a site for the garden,
vegetables require sunshine as well
as plant food and moisture. Other
things being equal, southern ex-
posture is preferable, as this gives a

a northern exposure, or site shell

Tomato and egg plants may be
grown for early maturity by setting

Cohan announces his new piece to be a musical frivolity. which aims to run the entire gamut of musical comedy resources in three hours.
 1t is his boast that The American Idea" is the fastest piece he has ever written and that the action re- quires players who can do a hundred yards in ten seconds or better.
 To accomplish this MT. Cohan has written and composed at top speed. The cast is headed by Trixie Frigan. ga, strongly featured comedienne, well known to playgoers here.
 With her are associated such old favorites as Arthur Lipson, Raymond Finlay, Mark Hart, Tony Hart, Rich ard Taber, Hugh Mack, Dan Day, R. l. McAndrews, Rose King, Beatrice Whitford Myrtle Gilbert Bessie Fri. ganza, Edith Rose and Lola Hilton. The chorus numbers seventy-fve sing CTS and dancers, the piece above all heiig devoted to music and movement.

 He has generally been recognized as ai harmless bug and as he appears contented with only claiming owner ship, and does not demand posses. sion, he has been getting along with out having the police called in. It is said that the visitor has a guard most of the time, but that ire quently he evades the pilot, and that is when he drops in the first open business front he finds and informs the proprietor that he is the most re- cent purchaser, having paid some fab ulous price for the place.
