HEBE's nut full of truth cracked
by Editor Law, OF the Shullsburg
Pick and Cad, last week:
The "World's Fair" business. it
seems to US, is being rather overdone.
1t might be we'll about every twenty
five years to hold Worlds Fair" to
show the progress - the country, but
the idea Of holding an exhibition of
that kind every three or four years
or oftener, as has been done in this
country the past few years, is an Ca
pensive scheme and does not return
benefits In proportion to the expense.
The millions of dollars spent by the
general government and the several
states within the past fifteen years
in erecting temporary buildings for
show purposes, rad better been spent
in the erection OF permanent build
ings devoted to charities and schools.
There is now proposition before
Legislature Of Wisconsin to appropri-
ate large sum of money to the st.
Louis show under the pretext that it
will demonstrate the resources of the
state. The money could be spent far
more advantageously in the interest
of the state, though it might not ben
eft the city Of st. Louis and give
paying positions for few months to
a few favored politicians. The fact
is that public funds are squandered
with bare faced recklessness that is
disgrace to both the United States
and the States government. The
taxpayers have enough to do to pay
the necessary expenses of govern
ment without its squandering the
hard earned money OF the people.
Give the taxpayers rest.
