At one time Charley held high 100000 in bets.

Where Does Your S34 Go?

How much of your hard-earned money is beng spent
for government? The tax question is coming TO the front
again. so here's summary of the tax spenders sup
ported by the taxpayers. = =
There are 100000 public servants the payroll oil

and their pay 100000 according to cneck
up by the national industrial conference board.
This huge figure doesn't include the $4,000 pensioners
and other inactive persons receiving suppofthe "oe
lot collecting S320000000 year.
So taxpayers supporting 3,390OOO tax spenaers-
or, as wag calls them, tax eaters And the cost OF
the whole lot is not far from Si000000000 year, foh

has increased tremendously since before the war VII

VIBRATIONS had reached a stage max.
ing desirable a personal report to
their government before continuation
OF efforts toward an agreement on the
refunding of Great BritaIn's war debt.
For that purpose tho British com.
mission will sail from New York on
Saturday with the time and manner
of the resumption of the negotiations
resting with the London government.
Both sides still arc agreed rs to the
desirabillty OF the earliest settlement
possible. While the decision came as
a surprise to no American delegates,
the obligation upon the British com.
mission to act in full accord with the
desires of tho London cabinet was
fully realized.
The question now arising is whether
an agreement in principle on terms
OF settlement can be reached in time
for formal action on 1t by onEres
at the present session. which has only
six weeks to run.
The difference in views held by the
commissions is not regarded In Amer

chiefly to the suestion OF interest rate
with the time within which the debt
is to be paid and the minimum an.
nual payment to be undertaken . re.
