(while ten ars before we had only 167),/ but in 1922 there yere 30,000 fed- eral deputies, agents, and inspect- ors on the government pay roll, and that number is constantly increas- , ing. “It ts: estimated that there are now on the <federal pay rolls and} on State pay rolls, fincluding pen-| sioners and bond holders receiving an income from federal bonds of over $500 per year, 3,350,000 men | and women. Counting dependents | there are at least 15,000,000 people in the United States who are sup- ported by taxes, but there are only 30,000,000 people in the United States ! engaged in productive labor.

This really amounts to an in-| crease of 41 per cent in one year in| the cost of collecting internal reve: | nue taxes. “If we add together our national} debts, the debts of the several states our municipal indebtedness, the in- debtedness to publia servide cor- porations, the debts due banks, and | the debts due private money lend- ers, we will find the total indebted- | ness under which we struggle to! be about $80,000,000,000. “Our national wealth has been es-| timated between $150,000,000,000 and | $300,000,000,000; but during the last | fiscal year the total assessed valu- ation of all the real and personal , property found by local assessers in all the states amounted to only | $88,000,000,000, and the real value of all the real and personal property | in the United States is estimated at $183,000,000,000. Therefore, as a! nation we owe considerably over one- half as much as are worth and oa this tremendous sum we are payinz interest of from four to seyen andj eight per cent. The tariff bill just passed in-| creased the tariff on sugar 16 cenis per hundred pounds, We consume more sugar per capita than any| other nation in the world. On ac-| count of our tariff taxes.the sugar | bill of the country is increased $197;000,000 per y, Of this, the! Treasury will get approximately one- half and the refiners and producers one-half, but very little of this tre- mendous sum goes to the beet growers. The refiners get practical- | ly all of it and this amount would | build each year a concrete highway | cighteen feet wide from the Atlantic | to the Pacific Ocean, or would pay a subsidy of $50 per acre to every owner of sugar beet lands and sugar | cane lands in the United States in order to permit them to tet their lands lie idle. We still would have a balance of . $50,000,000 to apply to the building of good roads.” BUDGET REDUCES DEFICIT OF U. S.' Washington, Jan. 30:—Represen- | tatives of the government's “busi- ness organization,” assembled. for consideration of budget problems, were told in a message from Presi- Aent Harding that for, the first,time since the fiscal year 1916 the na- ticn’s income and: outgo probably would balance at the end of: the cur- rent fiscal year on June 30. The president’s mesa; gelivered | by Vice, President Coolidge, announced that instead of a deficit of $698,- 000,000, estimated at the beginning of the fiscal year, the , economy drive had 10 days ago forced a re- duction of $92,000,000, m| do OLD VS. ee (below), fined Thomas E.

AVIATOR DROPS 15,000 FEET Ww. | Unconscjous But Makes Safe Landing With His Plane Mount Clemons, Mich., Jan. 30.— Unconscious because of the severe ‘cold, First Lieutenant James D. Summers, a pilot of the first pursuit group at Selfridge field, fell from an altitude of 19,000 feet to within four hundred feet of the ground here Saturday, a drop of nenrly four miles before he recovered his senses, righted his plane and made a safe landing. Announcement of his experience was kept a secret by aviators at Selfridge field until to- day, when it was officially related. Summers had becn ordered. to take part in maneuvers by Brig-General Wm Mitchell. Wita several oth- er aviators, he mounted to a height of 19,000 feet when thermometers below zero. Sumers was -but half cons when otier aviators reached him after his descent. Examining physi- cians announced nerves over both |eyes had been frozen, causing tem- porary blindness and that unconsci- ousness had probably followed. He had practically recovered today, it was announced. ‘WOULD HALT GOPHER SPEEDERS St. Paul, Jan. 30.—The house yes- terday pased the Nimocks bill re- ducing the speed limit on state high- ways from 35 to 30 miles an hour. Vote was 99 to 14. The house motor, vehicle commit- tee recommended for passage repre sentative Nimock’s bill to change the method of valuation of automo- biles for the state auto licenses. The selling price of the particular model on November 1 of the previous year would be the basis of valuation for the tax. A bill was introduced in the aouse to prohibit any bank in the state from operating a-branch bank. The measure also would provide for the closing of any bank by the state superintendent of banks for viola- tion of the proposed law. q RETRACT DEBT on | the planes registered twenty degrees | ASKS BRITISH. | STATEMENTS Senator Ke!lar Declares U.

Why does he not raise his voice in behalf of his government and the American people? Has he lost voice permanently? He never seems to be on hand, when something real is going on.” The Tennessee senator's attack was the first outbreak in either house of congress on the Baldwin statement, but rumblings of resent- ment had been heard in various quarters at the capitol since its. pub- lication. Senator McKellar quoted Mr. Bald. | win’s statements that “the debt can be funded only on such terms as can be got through congress,” and added: Could Handle Commission. Evidently, according to Mr. Bald- win, he had no trouble with the debt funding commission or the adminis- ion, It would have been all plain ng if it had not been for what e evidently looked upon as th. ignorant congress with which he had indirectly to deal. His attacks upon the funding commission are base. than his attacks upon the American people end the American congress of being putty in his hands and that he would have not trouble in making any agreement he might have wished if he had only to deal with that com- mission.” GERMAN WOMEN MAKING TOYS: Potsdam, Jan, 30.—In a quiet, res idential quarter of Potsdam a group of women who formerly belonged to the aristocracy and the brilliant so- cial circles of imperial days, are working daily from morning ‘unti! night at stuffing teddy bears, toy ele- phants, dogs, and other animal fig- ures. Their place of employment 1s a branch of a toy factory at Doberan, Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The factory provides the fels “skins,” and it remains only for the local plant to fill them with wood- wool and to affix the necessary beads for eves and nose. The playthings produced ure intended primarily for export, and a heavy demand has been reported, especially during the pre- Christmas season. Children in foreign countries are promise a new German creation for Mmext year's Yuletide in a plaything called the “fighting cocks.” Already a few of them have been made here, and large contracts have been closed abroad. Teddy bears. range jn pric this year from 1,620 marke for the small- est, to 95,000 for huge “bruins” whose leather-soled feet. are mounteu on wheels, ANTLSALOON HEAD ACCUSED Aircraft’s Future, As Seen by**Glenn Martin.

COLOR TO RULE MEN’S CLOTHES Detroit, Mich., Jan. 80.—Men ar? to outdo women in colorful clothing during the coming year, it was an- nounced last night .by Charles H. Bunnel, a member of the executive committe of the National Associa- tion of Merchant: Tailors, in outlin- ing the program for the organiza tion’s annual convention opeding here today. “Nature decreed that the male of almost any. species should be more colorful attired than the female,” he said. “This is shown by the plum- age of birds.

Every person in the car was injured. The guests sued the owner for damages. The case has given rise to con- siderable discussion because of the fssues involved. According to a prominent London attorney, as a re- sult of the verdict, there is no rea- son why a gugst at 4 dinner, at a wapk-end party, or in fact of any status, cannot sue his host for any accident or loss of apparel he might undergo, Tai would make the host respofisible for any losses his guest might sustain from fire, theft or Learelessness. Under the liabilities of the host would also be sickness pag might result from food serv- ed, of disease contracted during tae visit, ',The insurance companies are mak- ing strong protest against the ver- ict, as it seriously affects their business.
