Parties are to be measured not

but BY their tendencies. Take, for
instance. the matter OF extravaganza
in expenditures The tendency Of
the republican party Is 10 Increase
the expenditures OF the government
out Of all proportions 10 the increase
OF the population. At the FIRST ses.
sion OF the present congress these
appropriations exceeded 81 .0o0. 000.-
00o. This was the Fifty-first con-

Reasons for Extravaganza.
There are two reasons why re,
publican leaders are less careful Of
expenditures than the democrats
The first Is 10 be found In the fact
that the republican leaders are more
intimately associated with The tas
eaters than with the tax payers. and
being governed By public opinior
with which they come into contact
they naturally lean toward extrava

but recognizing that there Is som,
opposition TO unnecessary taxation
they try 10 make the appropriation
high enough TO compel the extor
Tomato tari1 rates demanded by lhl
protected interests.
