MAAT TAFTS PRESIDENCY ..........
IS COSTIEG TAXPAYERS

A deficit of four million dollars
for the first twenty-six days of April.
A deficit of more than nineteen
million dollars so far this fiscal year
A deficit of 500, ,887.S6 since
June 80, 1907! These are features
of Taft "cut-to-the-quick" economy,
about which so much is heard every
where save in Washington. Here
are more illustrations of Repub-
lican business" administration:
Marble baths for Senator's!
Autos to carry them 100 rods be-
tween their offices and the capital!
Touring cars for the president,
E vice president and "Uncle Joe"!
White House receptions (which riv-
al the glory of Napoleon's court" at
one of which according, to the Wash
ington Post, "a dazzling ravine of
gold blazed before their vision"
Another group of "cut-to-the-
quick" economies include:
More than $4,000 for Appolinaris
water for senator's.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
to keep the United States Senators
in vaseline, castor oil, olive oil,
bromo quinine, hair tonic, costly
perfumes, glycerine, bergamot, nail
brushes, clothe brushes, travelling
expenses in attending funerals, etc.
Then we come to this item which
stands by it self:
The addition in the last eight
years Of SO, 225 federal office holders
to the payrolls of the Republic, at
an increase Of expense to the people
Of more than seventy million dollars.
This item helps to explain why it
is costing the Taft administration
more than twice az much to run the
government than it did Cleveland.

agance effect the treasury? is asked.
