How is every dollar of j the federal government’s total in this particular field of figures, and they are apt to be meaningless on ae count of their very vastness. Here, however, the Washington Post presents the facts in a readily i understandable way. If you pay $100 to the federal government (and every time you buy an article on which the government has collected a tariff tax j at some port you pay something into j Uncle Sam’s strongbox) this is what becomes of it: Congress takes 40 cents: the White House 10 cents, and independent of¬ fices, SI3.49. The Department of Ag¬ riculture draws $4.20; the Depart¬ ment of Interior, $9; the Department of Justice 60 cents; the Department of Labor 20 cents; the Navy Depart- i ment, $9.50; the War Department, ! $10.10; the Department of Commerce, 70 cents, and the Treasury itself, $8.10. The Panama Canal requires 20 I cents; the District of Columbia, 10 cents, subscriptions to capital sotck in the Federal Intermediate Credit banks, 30 cents interest on the public debt; $28.20; premium on the public ( debt, 10 cents; retirement of the pub¬ lic debt, $13.20; miscellaneous and special appropriations, 70 cents. Here is presented, as The Post points out, in concise form vague, but much discussed item, “the cost of government.” From a study of the different values assigned therein, the average citizen can gain a clearer conception, perhaps, of the require¬ > ments of the national government as they affect him than by any other method. The estimate, at all events, gives a summary ‘expense account” , more accessible to the mind of the ordinary individual than the annual report of the Secretary of the Treas¬ ■ ury.—Albany Herald. % PEACHES * Henderson, Linthicum & Co CAMDEN AND CHARLES STREETS — BALTIMORE, MARYLAND COMMISSION MERCHANTS ) OVER FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR SHIPPERS USE THE BALTIMORE MARKET SEND YOUR SHIPMENTS TO US V COMPETENT SALESMEN PROMPT RETURNS REFERENCES: Drovers & Mechanics National Bank of Baltimore The Produce Reporter Dun’s Mercantile Agency Any Railroad Entering Baltimore it i CHESTER FRANZELL & CO 6 Industries PITTSBURGH, PA.
