COMING AN I GOING There is an awful lot of fever ish conversation regarding the burdens imposed by a tariff, but the government experts are able to report that ont of every ilu lj received by the nation only 12,65 cents' comes from tariff revenues. The Internal , revenue collections, Including the 'Income tax, supply 72.15 cents of every dollar taken In by Uncle Sam. From other sources, Including fees, fines and penalties, 15.20 cents is derived. The tariff Is almost an inconse quential source of ' government revenue. ' ' When it comes to spending the public money Its naturally found that we are paying most of it on tragedy. Twenty cents of every dollar Uncle Sani takes In goes for pension? and replacements. More than 37 cents out of every dollar taken in goes to either pay the Interest on the war debt or to provide for its reduction and gradual tflrement.y The new army Jand navVare costing us less than 8 cents . each out of every dollar received by the gov ernment. That is a smaller pro portion than the nation has known for possibly 60 years. It Is a much, smaller proportion than ia now being expended ont the up keep of armies and navies by any ot the broken and impoverished peoples ot Europe. Thanks to" the budget system, which ia the gift of the Harding administration to the cpuntry, the taxpayers can tell with exactitude where the government revenues 'come from 1 and how they are spent. There need be no waste, because every dollar must be ac counted for at both ends of the line. " ' " There are many things to worry about In this world, but America has fewer of them than any race we wot of. , i . O'BRIEN OUTBOXED MILWAUKEE,' Wis., Dec. 29.

Independent Yankee Has Abandoned Railway Plan BANGOR, Me., Dec. 27. An enterprising aative of the Btate of Maine has solved the problem of What to do with an abandoned railroad. Some months aeo the Barigor and Aroostock "railroad discontinued service over Its twelve-mile branch running front Brownsville to JCatahdin Iron works. Henry Green saw his opr portunity. ' He started with a small auto mobile and an idea. The idea was to fit the car with flange wheels and make it run on. thfe unused rails. It worked. He rented the whole 'branch line from" the railroad company at 9109 a month and started" busi ness. Now ' traffic is so brisk that he is using a trailer behind his car. There is some doubt as to how this one-man railroad will work in mid winter; but the proprietor has attached some sawed off broom's to the front wheels as a miniature rotary nlowl He thinks this will take care of snow no to a depth: of a foot. If it gets deep er the passengers will have to help shovel away the drifts. ' Tears' ago there was a flourish ing business in the mining and smelting 6f Iron4 at ' Katahdin Ironworks. When it was finally abandoned as unprofitable' the place became a sportsmen's re tort. American Relief Force i is Divided in Moscow MOSCOW. Dec. 27. Reduct ions in the American personnel of the.
