goTrrment, sustained by taxation.
Just to run the government this
amount i? eleven billion dollars an
nually, or almost one-sixth of the
entire annual income of the country.
Last year the government cost ap-
proximatolv a dozen times more than
it did back in 1890, and the cc>'ts
over ran the increase in population
sevan to one.
The cost of rrnn’ng the federal
government is showing a decrease
annually but at the same time the
cost of local government is increas-
mg. Expenses in states, counties,
townships and towns have been more
than doubled within a period of a
few vears
While the average person does not
have much control over the cost of
the federal expenses, the same is not
trao of the rest of the taxat : o~i.
Wherever people t'ghten un and
quit spending fior 'feolish and need
less things, than will the cost of
government become* less.
We r T 'ould all remember that the
tax rater; figured by the departments
do not cause the high taxes but it is
the people themselves who spend and
find a place for the moiey, so that
the riite is necessary to create funds
sufficient to pay the bills.

As the engine rests in the chassis
on a three-degre angle, ^ sloping to
the rear, the oil arriving in the valve
chamber flows back, filling the first
reservoir; then over the little dam,
tilling the second reservoir, and
then over again to the third and last
reservoir. From this point the over
flow oil is can led by an external
pipe down to the front end of the
oil pan in the crankcase where it
flows back over the pan, filling, the
troughs through which the connect
ing rods are lubricated and from
which all other moving parts are
sprayed by the splash system. From
the pan the oil flows to the bottom
of the case to be pumped back again.
