Surely he could make less money at other things, but for the good of the order let Vincent do his portion to- ward the “back to the farm” move- ment.

In the May report issued by the National City Bank of New York City a comparison of the present and past government finances are given, show- ing that it costs to run this govern- ment per capita considerably below the average of what it costs other countries. The men who for the first seventy years of our history kept the average annual cost of government down to about $2 per capita had no such problems to handle as have con- fronted legislators and administrators in the last half century. To the constant grumblers who have little else to do than to find fault with the conduct of public affairs, it might be well to make the compari- sons with the cost of other countries. Study of the per capita cost of gov- ernment in other countries, however, shows that extravagant and slipshod as are American government finances, the burden upon the taxpayers is less than that upon citizens of any of the great powers except Japan. In this country in 1910 it was $7.30; in Austria, $19.54; in Great Britain, $18.45; in France, $21.38; in Italy, $13.55; in -Russia, $9.12. The Ger- man Imperial government cost its subjects $10.72 per capita, in 1910; that of Japan, $6.49. China, most populous nation on earth, spent only 68 cents per capita for its ment in 1910, govern- Turkey spent $6.41, a few cents less than Japan. Chile spent $21.12 and $19.64 respectively, but Brazil was only a little above the United States, her expenditure being $9:11. and Argentine Even economical Switzerland spent more for government, per capita, than the United States, the figures being $8.20. Spain and Sweden . were about even, with $11.16 and $11.06 respectively. Norway and the Netherlands went higher, with $13.08 and $14.67 re- spectively. There was a striking con- trast between the commonwealth of Australia at $8.19 and New Zealand at $54.10. New Zealand tops the list, with an expenditure per capita nearly seven and a half times as great as ours, . Reform of governmental finances in the United States is possible but not easy. It will be a tremendous task to install a modern- scientific system co-ordinating all the govern- ment “departments ,but nothing like so difficult of accomplishment as will be the legislation necessary to pro- vide for it. It is possible that tne cumulauvs eftect of studies looking to reform, which have been made by past ad ued by the present one, will ultimate- 1y be left through a demand for lnws authorizing more economicul ndmh:- istration. . Indeed, some imprOVe- ments in’‘the service," refulting” in ecopomies, may be installed without Congresional action, but no great contraction of public expense can be expected until Congress, by an out- burst of public opinion, is made aware of a real public demand for the adop- tion of business methods in govern- mental affairs.

When James B. Reynolds was as- sistant secretary of the treasury, Sen- ator Root sent for Mr. Reynolds.one day to discuss with him some matters concerning a trade conference in Paris, which Mr. Reynolds had been selected to attend. “I suppose,”- sald Mr. Root, speak French?” “Well, yes,” reponded Mr. Reynolds. “I. know a little French. I have no trouble to make the waiters and the cab drivers understand me.” “I see,” said Mr. Root. “But, Mr. Reynolds, suppose there would be no waiters and cab drivers in the con- terence?"’—. “you Judge.

It was, he said, a species of wit so triflingly easy that he would engage to make one on any subject proposed off- hand, “Well, then, Mr. Pope,” said a wo- man in the company, “m#ke one on keel hauling.” Quick as a flash he replied, “That, madame, is indeed putting a man un- der a hardship.” Spence, who tells this anecdote, deems it well to explainthat “keel- hauling is drawing a man under a ship.” He then falls into an ecstasy of admiration. “What a ready inven- tion must’‘the man “have had!” he cries. “One could hardly have found & more crabbed word to exercise the zine.

HAS TWO PERIODS OF REST Division of Time of Slumber Prevent- ed Breakdown of Man Worn Out by Overwork. Two hours in bed in the early eve- { ning is the latest health recipe for the busy man whose day begins early -in the morning and_lasts till late at night. The “treatment,” which consists simply” of going to bed from & till 7 o’clock, was described by a medical man who prescribed it for-a business man - whose manifold interests had been compelling him to crowd two days’ work into one, to the detriment of his health. “My patient now has two dlstinct days and two distinct recupermon periods every twenty-four hours,” the doctor explained. “He begins work”with his secretary an hour be- fore most business men are think- ing of getting up in-the morning. At five o’clock in the afternoon his first day’s work ends and he goes to bed for two hours’ complete rest.” At sev- en o'clock he is “up again, bathes, dresses and dines. for another four or five hours’ busi- ness or social duties. His two rest periods combined give him almost nine hours in ‘bed. The ‘patient’ gets through a greater amount of work and enjoys better health.” ¥ outside the Family, A strange woman with 4 hard-luck story can get a quarter out of a map when his own wife can’t get a dime.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
