Uncle Sam and His Millions

President Hoovers administration has promised 70

hospital buildings this winter and give employment
in this field to 1900 hand workers. In December

department the country over. AS for the regulars
they win not be rushed to death while the season
is on.
At the close Of the World war the American people
cared for millions Of hungry and homeless ones in the
war ridden country Of France. Indeed, vast sums
we're appropriated by our government for the relief Of
the most costly war in history under foreign skies.
Now there arc thousands OF former service men idle
in the industrial centers Of America and in sections
which are not the centers Of great manufacturing
industries.
These men who barred their breasts to the bullets

stomachs pinched by hunger. Ii costs the American
people IS billions Of dollars for its participation in
a foreign war and after the armistice had been sign

Speaking of Income Tax
Collections

If money talks then some of the story of the cost
of the Wall Street speculative carnival is being told
by the federal tax collectors. Their figures show a
decrease OF sl4s. 2s6. 72l In income tax collected the
first nine months Of the 1890 calendar year. Out Of
the. 70 collection districts only II showed an increase
while so showed decrease. Sixty-seven Of the 70
districts showed the effect Of the decreased individual
income while As showed decreases in the corporation
collections.
New York state paid the largest income tax but
scored a decrease of s4s.s 800, 900. while North Dakota
had the smaller total tax showing a decrease Of sl70.-
2o3. New York is the seat Of the great financial CEN
ter Of the western world. North Dakota is an agri-
cultural state and sends to the American senate two
sons of Joseph r. Grundy's wild jackasses."
There are surface indications that the sons Of wild
jackasses are running amuck in many mid-vestern
and north western commemorative. That Is. they
call themselves republicans but they are not Of the
Grundy type.
