STATE EXPENSES.

The first thing to do is to see that a
state is governed we'll. Life and prop
erty must be made secure and such con-
ditions obtained as shall insure to each
citizen fair amount of enjoyment
just as little authority should be exer-
cised over each citizen as is compatible
with the well-being of all the citizens
1t should not be required of the state
that it help those who are able to help
themselves. The granting of aid tends
to foster feeling Of dependence. There
should be no legislation in favor of one
body ofmen that may not with equal
propriety be granted to every body of
men. The weak spot in communism
is the tendency of some to live at the
expense of others. There are always
those in the state scheming to create
fat jobs, and then get hold of them for
their own benefit. often under the pre-
text Of seeking the good Of the state, but
really that they may live at the expense
of others. The state is not parent,
but a police officer. Its special func-
tion is 10 protect, but at the same time
it should so protect and so encourage
self-reliance and self-control as to re-
duce the necessity of protection to its
minimum. The state should be gov
erned with as little expense to the citi-
zen as is possible to secure the object
of government. There are always
some who are vicious and must be re-
strained. True policy demands that
they be made to meet the cost of their
own restraint as far as possible, and
the state make good the deficiency
The tendency in modern states is to
soften the Iigors of restraint, take away
the fear of the results of viciousness
and increase rather than diminish pub
lie burdens. There are some unfortu-
nate ones, which, as a measure of hu-
manity must be provided for. But ev-
en- here, it should be required of those
who are responsible, where responsible
ity can be determined, that they bear
the burden and the state do no more
than is necessary for its own protection.
