When the propriety Of retrenching Is
suggested TO Congressman, they shrug
their shoulders and ask where the cutting
shall begin II is not their business TO
retort by asking their critics hard Ques-
tons. They are paid good, far salaries
for solving problems like those of making
both ends meet, and when they fail to do
so they advertise their ineapacity.

Prom the Baltimore Sun.
When a prudent man Of business finds
that his income Is decreasing his first
thought is 10 reduce his expenditures-te

the common saying is. No such policy as
this seems 10 commend itself to the Con-
gress Of the United States. There has
been a season OF business depression sue
ceeding a long term OF prosperity The
income OF the Federal government has
shrunk enormously. but instead OF reduc-
ing expenditures and appropriations, so
that we can I've within our means the
Congress has become more extravsgant
than ever. The revenues OF the United
States Treasury come almost exclusively
from taxation upon what people buy
upon certain articles produced or made tn
this country and upon imports from
abroad. In a time OF business depression.
when the incomes Of the people are
diminished. they buy less, and, conse-
quently, the government gets less taxes
