A Thousand Dollars a Minute

The secretary of the treasury esti-
mates that il will require $63S. 000. 600
OF tax money TO run the federal gov
eminent next year. That's nearly 10
cents a week for every man, woman
and child, white. black, red and Fill
pino. OF course, in addition. taxes 10
cover all state, county and municipal
expenses must be paid by the citizens.
The head OF the family who has TO
settle for his whole flock can figure
on about 20 cents week being held
out OF his pay envelope each week by
Uncle Sam.
And these taxes will not be meas
ured by what a mans wealth is but
by the size of his family and the state
OF the family appetite. For the federal
tax is laid, through the tariff, on the
things We eat and drink and wear.
The baby doesn't know it but her
shoes and her petticoat are taxed and

or about one-quarter, will go TO pay
pensions-that is dad will have TO pay
about Is cents a week for the war OF
long ago.
The army and navy departments
will take about 1892 100000 more. or
nearly half of the whole, and faith
er's weekly contribution 10 that fund
Will be about 35 cents.
Thus the total cost OF war past,
present and future as paid in pen
sions and army and navy expense is
about two-thirds the cost OF the whole
show. The pensions, army and navy

will cost Uncle Sam about $1,000, 900
per day, or $4,000 an hour, or pretty
close 10 a thousand dollars minute.
There are other things money is
spent for, too. The house and senate
cost us about Sl3,00O,00 year. I'm
lucky figure This isn't the money
congress spends but the money II
costs 10 pay the members and their
hangers-on, including dead-ducks and
$4,000 TO $4,000 a year TO Aldrlchs
monetary commission.
The civic list also shows that spend
ing money to protect human life in
the public health, marine hospital, life
saving services and in special fights
against epidemic diseases. The total
spent thus is about $4200.000 which,
you see, is not quite one cent for life
saving 10 each dollar for war. Also
it is just about half as much as is
spent In fees, mileage and expenses
by the United States courts mot in
Guiding salaries). II might be fair to
add TO Uncle Sans payments in the
interest of public health the two and
half millions that Is used TO hire
meat inspectors whose duty IL is 10
keep the beef trust from feeding us
trichinae. tapeworms and tuberculosis.
In addition to all the above there
will be an expense OF about $500. OOO.-
900 for the postal department which is
about cancelled by postal receipts and
so isn't included In the taxes-alto-
gether making about 946.000.OO0 for
the year.
The figures indicate that, with the
taxes as they are. Uncle Sam will be
about only $4,000, 900 short OF break
ing even on the year.
