0rR LOAD AND RRIrAIN,s.

The stupendous figures about war
expenditures dismay a good many
people. and naturally enough. says the
Lelroit Free Press II is not easy to
adjust standards so as to consider
spending billions where millions were
q saori time ago considered as posi-
by extravagant, and that there should
be doubts OF the country's capacity TO
raise the enormous amounts now pro-
pose or Of its ability to sustain their
loss if they could be raised is quite
Ineligible
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the House
Committee on Appropriations, summed
up these huge amounts in his speech
on the proposed expenditures. and
among other things he showed that
the total amount raised by Great
Britain since the war began had been
$15.975,00o,000 in bonds and s5,410.-
100000 in taxes. while the pending re-
euirements for the United States he
put at S11.53s, 945. 400 in bonds and s4,-
C67 100000 in taxes.
Reduce all these amounts to a per-
q. pita basis OF the two populations
and il viii be found that the burden
cur people are asked to shoulder is
about the same as that which has
been borne by the people of the United
Kingdom. Allow $4,000. 900 people for
the British side OF the calculation and
900 for the American side, and
the relative quotients viii be a little
less than $40 taxes for ever person
in the United States. while the re-
spective allotments of bonds win be
sS44 and sl13.

This merchant could pay the whole
