MODERN MONEY MAKING.

Many remember the first millionaire IN
the United States, just as they remember
the first airplane. Now there are hum
dred and twenty men in this country who
own million or more dollars, according to
the income tax statistics announced by our
government.
The total income tax collected for the
fiscal year of 1916 amounted to 24,937, :
252.61, as against eighty million the pre-
vious year. Of this, receipts from lnd1v1d-
ua1 income taxes amounted to nearly sixty
eight million, and from corporations nearly
hfty-seven. The cost of running our gov
eminent is a billion dollars year, and
the present day optimist, as he busies him
self in the formation of stock company to
buy a pound of butter, will get much COM
fort from the thought that the wealthy are
more and more being brought to pay the
national bills, which brings US once more
to the number of rich people there are in
this country-the most interesting feature
of the subject.
The millionaires have already been men
toned There were, besides, /, 793 with in
comes of 100000 to $4,000; 724 from
$4,000 to 100000; $50 from $780,
900 to S25O0O0; 216 from $3.50 900 to
$300OO0 254 from 100000 to $780,
900; 122 from 100000 to 100000; 2I9
from 100000 to $10O0OOO There were
over hundred and twenty thousand whose
annual incomes ranged from $1,000 to
$4,000.
Isn't it remarkable what fortunes Our
people are able to pile up? The money
making quality is a power that is being de
veloped and increased as remarkably as the
inventive genius. Everything is bigger
and better than it used to be; railroads,
schools, ships, government, farming, roads
religion, hygiene and baseball. Even if they
could have imagined it, our grandfathers
could no more have piled up million dol
lars than they could dig the Panama canal

THE PANAMA CANAL SLIDES

Major-General Goethals, availing himself
OF his retirement to speak freely about the
scientific know-it-alls, whose calamity
bowling about the Panama canal has been
SO distressing to the nation, discusses the
slides of Culebra cut, which he attributes
to perfectly natural causes, and which will
be overcome finally when all the material
in motion has been disposed of.
: 1t is not true, he says, that the bottom
of the canal is a bog, constantly being
pushed up; it is not true that the entire
length of Culebra cut is affected; it is not
true that the canal is a failure or that its
collapse is expected
The slides of Culebra, says General
Goethals, are breaks resulting from de-
formation or crushing of underlying strata
which, under changed conditions, could not
bear the weight of the superimposed mass.
the everything material, which subsequently
moved into the prism. Final rest will be
secured when all the material that is in
and caused a vertical settlement or drop of
motion has been removed AS is shown by
experience with smaller breaks that have
occurred from the same cause, when the end
is reached the final surface will be concave,
or bowl shaped.
The banks at present giving trouble are
from 800 to $50 feet above sea level and
extend back 1900 to 1900 feet from the
faces of the prism; try to conceive the
enormous weight of the material of these
figures, and remember that their founda-
tions-the underlying strata-have been
broken for depth extending at least to the
bottom of the canal; and it is not hard to
understand the reasons for the twenty-five
slides and breaks that have occurred during
and since the excavation of the eight and
quarter miles of Culebra cut, and how
the trouble will correct itself with the re
moval of loose material. With the hydraulic
| dredges, cleaning out the canal after slide
| is q comparatively simple process.
General Goethal's report is timely. One
of the greatest engineers of the country, he
has been studying local conditions for years
and knows a great deal more about the sub

The following advice, taken from
one of Uncle Sans cook books, may
be applied in general way to the
cooking of all of the cheaper beef
steaks.
The flank end of the porterhouse
is to be classed with tie toughest of
cuts. 1t can be rendered tender
enough to be palatable only by long
steaming or cooking in water and yet
people quite generally broil this part
of the steak with the tenderloin and
expect it to be eaten. This is not
good management. 1t is much more
profitable to put it into the soup ket-
tie or to make it into stew.
In families where most Of the
members are away during the day the
latter is a good plan, for the end of

AN ECONOMIC LEAK.

How to decrease the cost of living is the
problem to which economists are devoting
themselves.
There is a difference between the value
of thing and what it costs-between what
wheat is worth and what you have to pay
for it. Value is determined by the demand
the cost by the number of times the COM
modify is handled.
Eliminating the middle manor rather
a succession of middle mems one of the
ways of reducing theecost of living to the
consumer, community buying is another,
and direct trade between the city and
country, in certain food products that lend
themselves to parcels post shipments, is
still another.

each.with a part load of the same material,
which could be distributed by one wagon.
Who pays for this unnecessary service II not
the public?
To correct this condition there are three
possible methods One is to have all dealers
deliver their goods through private COM
panv or jointly operated system. Another
is to have only one company in each line
serving a given district. The third is the
sale and distribution under municipal con
trol--or even municipal ownership-of al
the necesSaries OF life.
Unless there are some marvellous eco
nomic changes, the third plan will hardly
meet with favor in the United States. Il
is founded on paternalistic and primitive
assumption of power that is repulsive tC
democratic instincts. Certain things lend
themselves to government operation, but
the canteen system could be a success only
in an organization-like the military
where everybody is doing only one thing
and could not be applied to national life
the secret of which lies in everybody doing
as many different things as possible and de
veloping individual initiative
The same general arguments apply to tht
second plan-though it might work unde
certain conditions. 1t is true that mum
Der of cities arrange with some contracto
for building sidewalks the following yea
at stated price, the private citizens to pa,
the bill; but this is one of those under
