The PEOPLES Money.

The approaching necessity of forcing
wartime taxes on the people to Offset
the annual $120,000,000 deficit in the
national finances, is directing attention
in a striking manner to the eXtrava-
gance of the last three republican adj
ministrations.
Uncle Sans distressed treasury IS
now considered by both parties to be
absolutely the biggest question be-
fore the American people. Along with
the upward revision of the tariff on
necessities, the extravaganza of the
last three administrations is certain TO
be the absorbing issue in the congress
ional elections of 1911 The republi
can leaders are practically without
material to meet charges of gross waste
fulnesS in the conducting of the gov
eminent machinery, and it may be
said without fear of contradiction they
have a wholesale fear of the outcome
of campaign involving such issues.
The government is spending more
money than in any period of its his

And under the estimates already ar
ranged for the Taft administration,

Uses to reach a higher mark than dur
ing the Roosevelt administration when
the deficit was the largest ever faced
by the government.
The reign OF wastefulness started
in the day Grover Cleveland turned
over the administration to his sue
cessor, William Mckinley. Figures
tell a story so mOmentous it is almost
impossible to fully comprehend its
meaning. The aggregate appropria-
tons of the last Cleveland admins
tration amounted to $1,574, 105 ,55G.07.
The aggregate appropriations for the
last Roosevelt term reached $3,214,-
500, 1887, or more than twice the sum
required to run the government durinS
the Cleveland administration.
The expenses of no nation on earth
ever increased at such a ratio. One
of Cleveland's early problems was -

When Ethan Allen Hitchcock, who

rotary of the interior he directed sweep
ing Investigations of alleged land
frauds, arousing the enmity of power
full political interests. He prosecuted
cases against numerous men in public
life and private business.
His method of handling u fraud was
Illustrated in the case of northwest
ern lumber ring, which connived to-
gether to put in bids for some Indian
timber advertised for sale mt the high
est obtainable price. Certified checks,
of course. accompanied all the bids
made Mr.. Hitchcock scented something
wrong and decided to make an inves-
tigation and see whether there had
been unlawful COLLISION between the
bidders. The highest bidder began to
squirm. The secretary surely would
hand him back his certified check if
operations were. to be suspended?
"Not a bit of it." was the secretary's
answer in effect; zone check in the

check is locked up where 1t will take
