OUR GROWING GOVERNMENT.
Figures That Show Much Extravaganza
In National Affairs.

Owing TO the enormous number of
new positions created for republican
politicians, the present session Of con.
gress promises to appropriate a sum
far in excess Of 81, 103,8S7, 50S which
was the amount appropriated for the
expenses Of the government for one
year at the last session. This was
the largest sum expended Ia the
history of the government.
The excess of disbursement over re.
ceipts so far in this fiscal year amounts
to more than S45,0OO,OOO. The
total balance in the general fund is
now sSl,995,8O5.23, which is the
lowest figure that has been reached
in several years. At the close of the
fiscal year 1907 the balance in the
general fund amounted to $272,O6l.
545 AZ. In other words. since the
beginning of the fiscal year 1908 the
government has spent $19O,065. 64O..
% more THAI it took in. This
situation is astounding, vet the big
press associations pay but little at
tention to the subject. As result
the mass of the people are but little
enlightened on the subject of govern
ment finances and republican extrav-
agance.
The increase in expenditure has
been going on since the ;ay Grover
Cleveland turned the reigns of gov.
eminent over to the republican party. |
The increase is much faster than the
increase Of population or wealth.
In 1890 the total annual appro.
priations for the expenses of the
government were S340, 100000, or
So for every man, woman and child.
In 1900 Our expenses mad increased
to $6OO,OOO.00O or So for every i
man, woman and child. The last
co gresS appropriated for the ex-
penses of the government for a single
year the colossal sun of 81, 1O3.3S7 |
50S.0I, orsSl2 40 PER capital
This was an Increase of so per
cent over the expenditures for 1850,
aud an increase of more than 100
per cent ovef 1890. As result a
deficit in the finances has become an
annual aft lir.

gether with the pay Of the new officers,
amounted to $21,lS3,25O, During

GOOD ROAD WORK
MEETS APPROVAL
Two Miles Finished on Main
North Road

After several delays caused by
broken machinery, the main road
leading north from Miller has been
completed to the township line,
whence Alpha twp carries it on due
north.
This strip of road was graded its
entire length, and it is generally
commended as a good piece of work.
Of course, to make it absolutely per-
feet, will take some rainfall and
travel.
This is the first systematic WORK
done, and it is expected to attra
attention and produce good results
over the county.
A force of teams started Tuesday
upon the Milier-St. Lawrence road,
and it is hoped to have it equally
well improved.
That this work is attracting at
tentlon ana approval Is not strange.
The wonder is rather that some
thing of the kind had not been done
before. Every man, woman and
child is interested in good roads if
not by using them. at least by con-
suming products hauled over them.
There is a grand possibility in this
work for the future of Hand county,
if township officers will join in the
movement, and build up their main
roadways. All experts at road work
advise that efforts be concentrated
upon one road at a time. Make it
good, then take up the next one.
