COST 0F'MIL1TAM84
For tho eight years preceding the war with Spain
' our average annual oVpendlturo for tho army was lefts
than $24000000; for the. eight years following the war
the annual avorttgo leaped to more than $834100000 and
now for the current year the army appropriation is $95-
440507 Tho navy has done oven hotter. For tho eight
years preceding the Spanish war tho avcrago annual ex-
penditure was a littlo more than $27500000; for the
next eight years It averaged $102400000 and this year
tho navy gets $131350851. 'Adding the navy and armv
appropriations gives thi- sum of $226701421 which Is
rather a neat price to pay for Imltntiag tho antics of
thbse ghost dancers on the farther side of tho Atlantic
Uut that Isn't all by any means. To this sum tmiBt be
added tho current appropriation for tho military acad-
emy $1856349; tho appropriation for forts and fortifi-
cations $5617200. and tho ponslon appropriation of $155-
758000 making a grand total o $390022870 as the cost
of militarism for one year or at tho rate of $1068355 n
day for ovory day In tho year.
This' onormous sum is paid out of the United States
treasury a beneficent Institution which seems too remote
concern the average man. But when
you bear in mind as you snouid mat even uie umicu
States treasury can not pay out what It does not take in
I and that its insatiable maw is fed but never filled from
your pocket and mine and from ever one else's tho
matter assumes quite a different aspect. The reality of
your contribution Is in no wsie affected by your inability
to perceive when you pay for it. Every mouthful you
eat. every thread you wear every need of your life bears
its tax which goes to make up the vast aggregate of gov-
ernment expenditure.
Three hundred and ninety million dollars is $4.24 per
capita for the inhabitants of the United States exclusive
of our "possessions." But this counts in the women and
children the idle and incapacitated. Getting down to
an average for heads of families would mutllply this per
capita tax by five at least or $21.20 as the sum that each
head of a family speaking in averages must contribute
out of his earnings whether he wants to or not toward
the support of the army and navy and the frills that
go with them this year. Next year the forced contribu-
tion will be larger; for the year after that still larger; for
tho succeeding year larger yet for once the military
craze gets started there is no limit to its extravagances
other fellow saying when to fight.
Many men consider themselevs lucky when they are
ableto squander $21 on one suit of clothes. Lots of them
do not get that much for a week'swork. Few can loso
that much even In a poker game without wincing in-
wardly if not outwardly. Twenty-one dollars would pro-
vide a porterhouse Steak for two persons for for
ty-two meals or it would paw the hired girl s wages
for a month or it might pay the premium on $1000
life insurance for a year. Twenty-one dollars in shoit.
is a most useful sum of money. When' it is multiplied bv
18400.000. the number of families here assumed its poten
tialities for good are almost incomprehensible -The

Then there is Leroy Kinslow with
his deluge of makeups. To meet him
off the stage and then locate him at

is near impossible One may nlaco
