Last night after storing away

tho result as he furnished II TO
The Times:
"For the fiscal year ended June
80, 1919, we collected 1889. 1884,
2SS.37 from income taxes alone.
Let us suppose, first, that. this
sum were in silver dollars each or
which weighs one ounce. the lr3
billion which we handled last
year will weigh 271,199.Oso pounds
or $4,000 tons.
"The capacity of an ordinary
freight car Is % tons or $4,000
pounds; this means that 5.424 cars
would be required to transport 1T.
Allowing 40 cars to a train. l35
locomotives would be required to
pull the load. The average car
is % feet long. this means that
these 1876 trains would be Al
miles long, each travelling %
miles an hour, almost two hours
would be required for this pile
of silver to pass a given point.
again let us suppose this
amount Of dollars laid edge to
edge on the ground. The diameter
of a dollar is IN inches or $500
to a foot or 1920 to q mile
lot $3.50 feet). Our dollars would
reach a total of 102,75 miles or
more than four complete lines
around the earth at the Equator.
Let us now place these 1-3
billions face to face, on edge. A
silver dollar is 2-25 of an inch
thick or S12.50 to an inch or the
line will be 1896 miles or enough
to reach from New York to Can
ton, China, with enough to spare
to run a line from Boston to San
Francisco. A fast express train
travels go miles an hours, 1t will
require liz days and nights to
makes the journey to the silver
line.
NOV. supposing we had all our
Alb billion Of taxes in one dol
lar notes, the weight OF one note
is .0O3 OF q pound, this sum will
weigh 13.07l.556 pounds or 20 1-3
car loads Of $4,000 pounds each OF

lar note are 81 inches wide by
~ inches long or approximately
20 square inches. this requiring
b46 bills to a square foot. There
are 27.s7s. 400 square feet in a

will cover more than 26 square

proved by the House:

propriated out Of the revenues OF the
! District to the extent that they are
sufficient therefor and the remainder
out Of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, but the
amount to be paid from the Treasury
of the United States shall in no event
be as much as one-half Of said ex-
penses, In full for the. expenses Of the
government Of the District OF Column
bia for the fiscal year ending June
