The authorities At Washington
have been e1pepding money with
.sueh,teckless zeal thatthey seem to
be Impressed with the notion that
money grows on trees. 1t is also
true shat although hslng required
TO observe enormous and unparalleled
expenditures in ournew possessions
many people have not stopped to
think that some one must bc fopting
the bill. Any intelligent man un.
derstands that when the govern.
ment expands an enormous SUM of
money the people "pay the Freight
and in the past it has never heen
considered good business policy for
q goverpment TO be extravagant.
Secretary y of the Navy Long, how.
ever, in a speech delivered at the
launching Of the battleship Missouri
presented novel theory in defense
of extravagapt expenditures. Mr..
Long was replying TO circular in
which Edward Everett Hale and
other gentlemen had protested
against an expenditure Of $1,000
100000 10 the paVy dcpartmeng
and this protest added that such an
expenditure meanta tax Of SO upon
every family in the United States,
1t is true that Mr.. Long admitted
that "The community should not be
taxed for the sole purpose of distri.
buung the proceeds Of taxation :
bat be added. nAad yet, on The
other hand, IS a matter Of practical
fact, if that sum is spent there is
probably not family in the United
States whose future income could be
shown TO be So less, and still more
families whose income would be
many times So less If it' were po'
SPENT This Is strange reasoning,
and if it is correct, then there is no
reason why expenditures in every
department Of the government
should not be multiplied a thousand
times.--The Commoner.
