UNCLE SAM, ESQUIRE
How Uncle Sam s ponds Fl. Money.
Third House Of Congress.

u 4
Ward Of this division. has been espe-
cially charged with bringing the book
of estimates to perfection and having
it ready on time. It is remark often
made in congress that no Mistakes ever
This Is the result of prodigious and
painstaking labor performed by this
expert accountant.
Four or five assistants are detailed
to aid the chief compiler. The labor
goes on and on day and night, until
the last page goes to the printer, until
the last proof sheet is read and re-
vised. And this takes every moment
of the time allotted. The book hardly
ever is ready twenty-four hours be-
fore the opening Of q congressional
session.
The treasury department has no part
in revising the purpose of expendi-
lures. 1t Is required to see that they
are in form and matter in accordance
with the strict requirement Of law.
But that duty even so limited Is task
enormous.
Every item and figure must be veri-
fed and the authorization in law for
the expenditure cited. The addition,
multiplication, extensions Of results
and other computation must be checked
up or corrected. Sundry information
| required by acts Of congress must be
inserted or appended according to pre-
scribed form.
Some idea of the gigantic task in the
preparation of the book of estimates
may be gained from the volume itself.
The estimates of appropriation for
1917, beginning July I, 1916 and ending
June 30, 1917 is volume of 1910 close
ly printed pages. quarto folio. Seven
hundred and fifty volumes. with heavy
board covers, were first printed Three
hundred OF more, paper covered, Cor
the use Of members of congress and
others, composed the second issue. The
cost of the first lot amounted to $19,
143 This Is more than $3.50 for each
volume which is considered by some
an extravagant price. Yet the import
ance of the work to the general public
warrants the expenditure.
The 1917 issue is the largest Volume
Of annual estimates ever prepared.
That too was a condition to have been
anticipated, as the growing size and
activity of the United States is natur-
ally reflected in increased expenditures
and greater number Of ways Of
spending money. Furthermore there is
every chance Of the book of estimates
expanding in size each successive year.

Top Price For Serial.

Inc largest price ever paid by an
american magazine for serial rights in
q book was $4,000, given by the Cen
fury company to Nicolay and Hay for
their famous Life OF Lincoln" II ia
said that the editor of the Century.
who first offered $4,000 and then
doubled the bid, probably misread the
exchange OF glances between the au-
thors when the first offer was made,
they being surprised at the bigness Of
the first sum, which he in his eager
ness Immediately doubled.

Bonds Soon to be Paid.

Judge Owens of the county
court dropped into this office one
day the first of the week and in
course of a conversation about
railroad bonds said that the old
Mt. Pleasant township bonds
would be paid off in about four
years or in 1920.
There are So bonds of the de-
nomination Of $1,000 outstanding
and there is enough money on
hand in the proper fund to retire
eight of them this spring. The
original bonds were about $780,
600 and were voted for a railroad
that was never built. It has been
a terrible hardship on the town
ship to be compelled to pay these
bonds, especially as the township
received nothing in return for
them, but the taxpayers of Mt.
Pleasant will sleep better know
ing that they will be out of debt
in few more years.
