'lhe hnance committee is diligently AZ

sary 10 run them arc before us and must
be carefully studied aud IN detail The com.
mittee has 70 steer a safe passage between
the charybdis OF too lavish expenditure OF
the peoples money and the scylla OF mig
aorditness and undue economy, Parslmony
and Inadequate provision for meeting the
necessary expenditures OF the state Is as
much to be avoided as extravaganza.
II have heard the sopbism advocated
that IL amounted 10 nothing now mucn
taxation the people had 10 pay II they
Got value received therefor. This is folly

ciple is that all expenditures by the state
