THIS WAS YOUR MONEY
By EDWARD G. LOWRY

Consider for a moment, If you will,
some further figures. This is your
money ] am talking about.
For every fiscal year from 1865 to
1898. inclusive. there was a surplus OF
receipts over expenditures. During
this period Of % years the surplus OF
receipts over expenditures totaled ST.
900, ,2O5, ,013.41.
For the fiscal years 1894 to 1899, In
elusive. the expenditures exceeded the
receipts in the aggregate Of $2SS, ,O22,-
9e1.14. For the fiscal years 1900 to
1904. inclusive. the surplus Of receipts
over expenditures aggregated $780,
319.165.04. For 1905 the expenditures
exceeded the receipts by $7S.776,-
6223O.
For the years 1910 to 1914, inclus-
I've. the receipts exceeded the expendi-
tures by $149,O24. .404.27. For 1915
the expenditures exceeded the receipts
by $33, ,4sS, ,931.53. For 1915 the re-
ceipts exceeded the expenditures by
$55,171 $3.50. and for 1917 there was
a deficit of $29,724,864.73.
From 1866 to 1917, inclusive, the re-
ceipts exceeded the expenditures for
each year with the exception of 1894.
1895. 1896, 1897, 1885, 1899, 1905, 1908.
1909, 1915 and 1917. The total amount
by which the expenditures exceeded
the receipts for these II years just
named, is $443, 766. .744.70. For the 81
fiscal years, 1896 to 1917, inclusive,
the receipts exceeded the expenditures
in Al years, the fetal Of such excess
for that period being $2,69l, ass. .1s4.16-
For the fiscal years 1898 to 1910. the
revenues were raised through an in
direct system of taxatien. Beginning
with the fiscal year ending June 80.
1910, the receipts from direct methods
Of taxation have usually grown each
fiscal year. as will be seen by the fol-

aggregated 357.608 for the calendar
year 1913, and that number increased
to 9,472. 800 for the calendar year 1917.
For the fiscal year 1909 the total
ordinary receipts aggregated $6O3. $780,
4S9.84. Of which 5000. I'll 1895 came
from customs duties, $248, ,212, ,64S.59
came from internal revenue, and the
balance was received from the sale Of
public lands and other miscellaneous
items; whereas, for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1919, the total re-
ceipts from customs amounted to 1884,
457, ,867 80, while the Internal revenue,
including income taxes and corpora
tion and excess profits taxes, amounted
to $3.S39, ,95O,812.O5.
So you will see that until 1910 the
money you paid toward the support
of the government was slipped away
from you SO easily that you hardly
knew anything about 1t. You did not
know that you were paying taxes to
the national government.
Indirect taxation is the most Sc
ductive form Of raising public rev.
enue. You never came In contact with
the federal government except when you
bought postage stamp. But now you
know 1t every time you buy drink at
soda fountain, or a bottle of medi-
cine. or sand telegram. or make a
loqg-distance telephone call, or per-
form any one of score Of other nor
NAL activities Of daily life. Some
thing must be put In the kitty for the
government. Its annual rakeofr runs
into the billions. You pay 1t and the
government spends it.
But all that part Of the party is
about over now. The oysters have
been eaten and put In the bill. They
must be paid for. 1t Is perfectly clear
that In the future by far the greater
part Of the revenue required for con-
Quoting the public business must come
from direct taxes 1t is also clear
that the ordinary expenses for rum
ming the government will in future
probably exceed four billion dollars a
year. That is lot OF money to take
out Of your pockets, and mine. Hadn't
we better see what is done with 1t. and
| whether we can save any Of 1t? Con-
gress, which Is yerys fsr-sighted, and
able. when its own skin is concerned,
to distinguish a hawk from . hand
saw at 4 very great distance. is be- F,
ginning to take notice.

VALENTINO BORN
IN ITALY.

Los ANGELES. Cal, May 1S.-The
~antecedents of Rudolph Valentino. the
motion picture actor whose marriage
at Mexicali was recently announced
are. stated by his friends here to be
unuuestionably Italian. He vas born
in Italy. they say. and there is nc
record available here to show that he
has ever lost his italian citizenship
by naturalization. although 1t was
stated at his studio hat he was com
monty understood there to be an Amer
lean citizen by adoption.
Valentino was married here in No
vember, 1919, to Miss Jea Acker, from
whom he was given an ~interlocutory
decree Of divorce January 10, 1922.
His name was given in the marriage
application as "Rudolpho Gpglielm."

here 1t was said h the records dis
close than Valentino had been born at
Castell, Province of Anita, Italy and
that he was educated at Perugia. He
came to America as a youth and was
employed in New York and elsewhere
as a tango dancer. He entered motion
picture work about tho time Of his
marriage to Miss Acker in 1919.
Valentino has a fluent command OF
Italian and his claim of italian name
and descent always had been borne
out by the facts. according to the
Lasky studios. where he is employed.
