THE BURDEN OF TAXES

Before the war the government of
the United States spent about one bill
lion dollars 4 year for all purposes,
including interest on the public debt.
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920,
the first full fiscal year after lighting
stopped, the government spent in
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year 1921,
that is, NJ 10 June 30 1927, it spent
S5,1l5,927 ,6s9.30, and in the fiscal year
of 1922, which viii end on June 80,
1922, il will spend more than four bill
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon of
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest on the
public debt which amounts to about
one billion dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re-
demptiOn. Including both interest and
sinking fund. the government will
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1922 as it spent yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are a part OF the price of vie

nothing to do but luff ir a hurry and
, take it. In the fog we could not see
the top of the huge mountain Of ice."
After the collision the crew pumped
out water ballast to elevate the dam
aged part of the ship and then built
q case eight feet long and four feet
wide, which they filled with cement
This they made fast with wooden

has been officially apprised by the
French government of its action In re-
calling the special French commission
detailed to attend the trials CT German
war criminals in Leipzig. Both here and
at Leipzig the unexpected withdrawal OF
French officials and witnesses is viewed
as somewhat precipitatc procedure. the
recall Of the witnesses especially Seins
designated in unofficial comment as "un.
warranted interference with the imperial

rty. as the witnesses are answerable
only to the German court"
1t was stated today that the trials
would continue without interruption de.
spite the absence of French witnesses
and the official French 1elegat tion. The
French government. it was added, would
then be held responsible for flaws in the
conduct of the trials. due to the enforced
absence Of French witnesses.
The recall Of the French delegates and
the subsequent withdrawal Of the com.
planning witnesses before the verdict ir
the case against Gems Won Shack and

here as "a studied afYront to both the
