Some Of the chief items of government
expenses. including the salary Of the
president, salaries and incidental ex-
penses of congressman and sessions OF
the congress. the pay Of the former Do
minican army. which was disbanded. and
many other salary expenses which made
up the bulk Of the old government bud
get, have been eliminated during the
which would have been ordinarily paid
from the treasury by the regular gov
ernment have been allowed to accrue and
are being held In trust by the military
authorities and will later be turned over
to the republic when the military occu-
patton comes to an end.
Another and almost entirely new
source Of revenue has been found in the
proper enforcement of the alcohol tax
laws under American administration.
Under the old system of government,
although there was an alcohol tax, there
is much evidence that either this tax
law was not in force or that funds col
lected were seldom If ever, properly ac-
counted for.
Distilleries Forced to Close.
AS result of the strict enforcement
several OF the distilleries in the repub-
lie have been forced to close while 9TH
ers have become the source of large
revenue.
NOT an element OF unrest remains In
the republic at the end of the first year
Of the military occupation and the entire
republic is more peaceful than ever be-
fore in its history. Former revolution
ary leaders who were in the habit Of re-
cruiting armies from among the agri-
cultural workers have, to a large extent.
forgotten their old ways and many of
them have turned to recruiting labor for
agricultural purposes. Gen. Arias, who
led the last revolution against Presi-

AS a result of the peaceful conditions
throughout the republic. the largest su-
