Internal Revenue Collections In

$500, 900 Annually.

The military government estab-
Hshed in Santo Domingo by the United
states has started the island republic
on the road to prosperity and sue
cessful self-government, according to
Rear Admiral Thomas Snowden,
Internal revenue collections of Santo
Domingo have increased from an
average of 100000 annually before
the occupation to approximately
$3.5oo.o0o last year, with prospects of
a million dollars more this year, the
admirais summary said. Certain
taxes bearing heavily on the poor
have been eliminated and a tax on
property substituted, the first attempt
at direct tax in Santo Domingo, the
report said. The floating debt has
been liquidated and indications are
that the 100000 loan of 1908 will
be paid of by 1926, more than thirty
years before maturity, the governor
reported. A revision of the tariff sys-
tenn has resulted in 10 per cent in
crease in imports and added customs
collections, he added.
Much graft, dishonesty and ineffi-
cheney in government offices has been
eliminated and the money saved
thereby has gone toward building
schools. roads and public buildings,
port improvements and sanitary ar
rangements. the report said.

editions of the paper-bound book had
to be printed on news-print paper,
and in future the paper books are to
be printed on a light weight brown
wrapping-p paper. Sinclair has sue
ceeded in obtaining a carload of this,
enough for 10000 books; also a car
load Of book paper, enough for 10000
cloth-bound books.
Therefore, for the first time he
felt free to advertise the book. An
advertisement was prepared, setting
forth what the sales of the book had
been, and quoting an endorsement of
it by the Rev. John Haynes Holmes
Of the Community Church of New
York. This advertisement was sent
to the New York "Times," with a
check for $156.8O. The check was re-
turned and the advertisement reject
