In a can fnlly prepared article in the

Btatcd tli.it during Ihe paat lourteen
the American people created

meana not only thal the Dnited Statea
is today the world'a arreateat debtor na?
tion, bwl also that thia people i- run
fltjaag deeper into debt t<> other peoplea.
The American people, as i nation, are
jilainly liring beyond ilnir meatu
And this they bave been doing nteadily
for lifty yeara, each year sinking
further into debt i<< Ibe srorld. Nol a
ploaaanl picture is tbia, bul it ia tbe

tion. For tbe flacal year endedJune

to add orer $175,000,000 to ita foreign
taJebtedneaa. And for the lateat flacal
year the acore ran againat uafarmore
hiavily. Obvioualy such a condition
of affaira cannot g.? indefinitelj V
people, no more than an individual,
can get credit beyond a certain point.
Among tlu- itema againat tbia country

"Last year when the report wai pre

there was an overdraft of $1,746.42, or
that amount due the treaaurer to
balance ?COOWtn for the year 1908-1909.
The toport. tonight for year jn?t ended
shows a eash balance ?f $841.31 to the
credit of the general fund. A guper
lieial view, or at least a carelefls exami
nation of the nccount would make it
appear that we had expended f2,637
7.'3 less than we had received during the
year. The revcrse, howover. is tne .
for it is easily rccalled by tlie members
ofConodl thatat the last meeting in
.May. Cotmeil nuthorited a loan of
$5,000 for the purpose of paying all
elaiin- that might 1*3 prcsented whieh
were properly chargeable iu th*

amount of expenditurea. No effbrta
wen made to make these estimates
agree with what is no.v shown as tha

?howa expenditurea aa being fl84,*
787.84, <>r <>nly $112.10 leaa. The
reeeipts were also near estimate; for
while about $730.00 in exce.-s of
mates. yet we reeeived HOO.OO from
the Washington, Alexandria t Mi.
Vernon Hy. Co. for a i|iiarters rent on
May 31, whieh WC did not place in our
estimates, and also reeeived fgfO.OO
from poliee court lims greater than
we intieipalel. This total of f790.00
shows how we reeeived $7:10.00 in
