The NegatiDe
By Moses e. Clapp

IF the present pace of increasing expenditures is
to be kept up, the people. of this country in
- national, state, and municipal matters have
to face the problem of increased revenue This
could be avoided if public expenditures could be
treated in anything like businesslike way; but
where is the man who would have the courage to
seek the reform of present conditions by lessenng
public expenditures?
There are two reasons for this condition. We
have grown great nation, the ramlhcations
of our Government varied, and the administra
tive agencies vast, that it is practically impossible
to apply personal supervision to the ordinary
expenditures. Great departments have grown up
in which are buried great bureaus whose financial
operations be scrutinized only by personal super
vision, which it is impossible to secure
Another reason why we cannot decrease, but find
constant increase of expenditure inevitable is the
wide spread feeling that every dollar wrung from
the public treasury for local disbursement is so much
wrung from separate identity, the people failing
realize that every dollar thus secured from the
public treasury must first be obtained in some way
or other from the taxpayer This feeling has grown
until the value of mans services in the national
Congress State Legislature is too often measured
by his ability to secure appropriations for local
expenditure.

In the language of Jefferson Davis, when

organic changes in their Constitution as to

usages of nations" To give and obtain this
official notice appointed the joint COM
missioners sent abroad early in 1862; but, in
all matters relating to the American conflict,
the Powers of Europe decided to leave the
initiative to England and France, as they
had the largest interests involved in it. The
Governments signifed their intention to conf

On the other hand, an income tax would bring home
to the taxpayer the possible realization that money
