ulations and to print and distribute
the necessary forms before the re-
turns and taxes will be due. The en-
forcement OF the law will necessarily
be imperilled.
"The wisdom Of such. action is en-
phasized by every sound economic
consideration and wise tax policy.
II is desirable and necessary from the
viewpoint of the Treasury in condens-
ing the period OF readjustment, and
from the viewpoint Of labor and in
dustry generally"
Mr.. McAdoo reviewed the financial
practices Of the year, including the
floating OF short term certificates Of
Indebtedness in advance of every LIB
erty Loan to prevent the disturbing
Of the money market by the loans and
to obtain the money needed by the
Treasury in advance of loan receipts
He said the war savings movement
had resulted not only in gathering in
sSS4,00O.000 for war purposes up to
November /, but 1t had helped to
teach the American people thrift and
economy.
Stabilfze Foreign Exchange.
This war time experiment has been
so successful" he commented, that II
Is hoped war savings certificates will
become a continuing feature Of the
nations financing even after the
restoration of peace"
The report explained at length that
n feature Of the Treasury's policy in
distributing the SSH. 100000 credits
to allies during the year, had been to
stabilize foreign exchange rates and
bring the dollar nearer par in Euro
pean countries, but did not mention
the specific acts undertaken by the
Treasury to accomplish this. In ex-
change for credits, France gave the
United States credit in France OF $751;
275.000 for army purchases. Great
Britain established similar credits Of
s115,G33.000 and Italy S5,2S4,000.
Turning to the enormous task Of
collecting 1854, $40. 900 in taxes dur
ing the last fiscal year, or more than
four times the record collection of the
year previous, the Secretary empha-
sized that this had been accomplished
largely through the cooperation Of
business interests and individual tax
payers.
During the fiscal year 1915" said
the report, the Bureau of Internal
Revene has been able to collect the
largest tax ever collected by any coun-
try, an amount which represents
larger proportion OF the nations
war budget than any other belligerent
enga ged in the present war has been
able to defray from tax revenues"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4,-The financial
history of Americas part in the war is
So forth by Secretary McAdoo in his
annual report drafted before his res,g-
nation and made public to-day by the
Treasury. 1t is the history OF how
the American people paid billions In
taxes. raised four great Liberty Loans
and created a tremendous pool Of
credit with which the Treasury
through its many war agencies paid
the bills OF the army and navy, the
Shipping Board and other Government
departments, loaned billions to tho AL
lies and millions to war industries,
helped support the families of soldiers
and sailors and tided farmers over Pc
RODS of financial stringency.
The payment into the Treasury Of
vast sums in war taxes and from bond
sales" said Secretary McAdoo, and
the transformation OF our varied and
complex economic life to the supreme
task of winning the war have been
accomplished without shock or finan-
cial disturbance. The credit and bust
ness structure of the nation remains
sound and strong. The results OF the
four Liberty Loans are tribute to
the patriotism of the American peo-
pie and to the economic strength OF
the nation"
The report constitutes Secretary
McAdoo's final accounting of his stew
ardship before retiring as the nations
finance minister. Throughout the re-
port Mr.. McAdoo refers repeatedly
to the remarkable achievements OF
Americas civilian population in pro-
vlding the money and materials for
war and acting as the eager second
line Of defence"

The. Cleveland Federation OF Labor

added to-day to the resolution in which
the National War Labor Board recon-
mended yesterday that women no
longer be retained as conductors on

Income for Present Year.

Against this estimate, which actual
expenses at the rate of n little more
than Il billion and n half dollars a
month to date indicate is too high, Mr..
McAdoo calculated that the Govern
ment will receive about 81, 900, 000. 900
before the end OF tho fiscal year next
June 80 from income ana profits taxes,
100000 from other taxes, $780,
100000 from customs and $555. 1000, 600
from miscellaneous sources, including
S70,0000O0 from Increased postage,
making estimated receipts from Ordi-
nary sources S6,s46, 100000.
Concerning the tremendous part
played by the Federal reserve system
during the war Secretary McAdoo had
this to say:

permitted the enormous transactions
connected with the financing OF the
war TO be carried through without
shock or disturbance. and its services

Commenting on the showing of flnan-
cial arrangements in great detail by
the document Treasury librarians re-
called that the financial history Of the
civil war is buried in a great stack of
musty ledgers and probably never will
be officially compiled.
For the fifteen months ended last
June 80 Secretary McAdoo estimated
that the actual cost of tho war, with
allowances for the Government ordi-
nary expenses in ordinary times
amounted to sl3.222, 100000. Nearly
half OF this, or 6,499, Oo0, 900, went into
permanent investments in the form Of
ships, shipyards, war vessels, army
camps. buildings and in loans to AL
lies or to American war industries. OF
from taxation.
The civil establishment of the Gov
eminent during the year spent $I.50T &.
100000, while tho War Department
spent 1854, 100000 and the navy ST.
36SO00,000. For support OF the army
alone the Government paid out s4,412.-
100000. The naval expenditures in
cluded the construction Of new vessels.
machinery. armament, equipment and
improvements at navy yards. Total
ordinary disbursements for the year
amounted to $500 900, 900, and ordi-
nary receipts, excluding money re-
ceived from Liberty Loans, amounted
10 S4,l740O0, 900. Loans to allies dur
ing the year amounted to 81, 739, 900, 900
additional.
Looking forward Secretary McAdoo
found great difficulty in forecasting
expenditures for the current fiscal
year which ends next June 80 on nc
count of tho sudden coming OF peace.
Estimates which he presented are
based on calculations of each depart
ment III advance of revisions since the
signing OF the armistice, and he does
not consider them reliable. With this
explanation Mr.. McAdOo forecast ex-
penditures for this year at $2O,Gs7. 000.-
600 for Government purposes and ga
$4,000, 900 for loans TO allies and ST.
100000, 900 for redemption OF outstand-

ments for tho year were put at $27,-

And yet a great part of our road

is that the work must be done
when there are funds available.
II looks like poor management
somewhere. Whether it is the
fault of the county commissioners

business man conducts his affairs
on this wise we say that he has
insufficient capital or lacks cred

neither excuse applies.

Mr.. WINERY found himself in
1909 broken in health. lie was
born and reared on a farm and
when the financial game ceased to
eniiee. the lure of the land, which
for 80 years had lain dormant i'll
his blood, asserted itself. and in
the Fall Of that same year he came
to Nashon and purchased the 2l-
acre farm near The Beall green
houses. on which he still resides
Mrs. Winery, also. was far from
well, so at tile start the main idea
was health seeking rather than
engaging extensively in farming
operations,
A beginning was made with two
COWS and few ducks, geese and
rabbits. However. as there Were
l,2O0 bearing fruit trees and -
acres in Strawberries on the place,
Mr. Winery. who is constitution
ally opposed 10 anything beng
wasted, soon found himself up TO
lis elbows in work. And the out
OF doors occupation brought
health and the ability TO assimil-
ate three square meals per day.
Mr. WINERY fopnd the straw
berries fairly profitable, but on
account Of difficulty in securing
help, he has allowed the patch to
dwindlc to 3l4 acres. But he has
gradually increased the cattle to

his limited acreage will permit in
the form of rye and vetch; the

| must be economical in the use Of
Need and there must be absolutely
no waste. All roughage is cut
line with an electrically operated
chopper. Mr.. Winery claiming
that it goes much farther in this
form.
Mr. Whinery lays great stress
on the value Of thoroughbred
stock. giving preference to the
Guerneseys as a dairy breed. For
the first two or three years the
cream was separated and sold 10
q creamery He now finds il more
profitable to sell the whole milk to
the condensary.
Mr.. Winery also believes in
hogs, of which he has % head at

any grain not even q penny s

grass in the orchard and the fallen
fruit being their only food.
Mr. WINERY considers the or
chard a very important part of
his farm. and says that the sour
cherries have provea the best
money-makers for him. He also
credits the apples with helping
hand as well as the small fruits

berries. The money crops are
milk, fruit, hogs and fertilizer. OF
the last named he sells consider
able amounts to the greenhouses,
claiming that he is enabled to DO
this without detriment to his own
soil because of the largenumber of
stock kept.
Mr.. Winery keeps an account
of income and outgo, so that he is
able to tell what is his profit; but
he does not keep separate ac-
counts with cattle hogs or orchard
because he says that it is gener-
al farm, and as such he intends to
continue its operation, and if it Us

he wishes TO know.
