State Expenses and Budget

Not much consolation is to be had
out Of the paragraph in the Benning.
ton Banner, in which the editor,
Lieutenant-Goyernor Howe, informs
us that the states present expendi
ture, upward of 100000, is as moth
ing to the showing to be made next
year. isn't it time for a halt in the
states extravagant expenditure?"-
Fair Haven Era.
The cost OF government is natural
ly increasing with the increase Of
socialistic tendencies. When a gov
eminent undertakes to secure pure
food for the people; when it adopts
factory inspection laws, in fact, when
ever it takes any new step to safe
guard the public. it has to pay its
way. The theory is that the result
ing benefits more than offset the ex-
pense. For instance, i'll health reduc-
es the earning power OF the individu
al. Then the state steps in and says
that the laborer shall work amid sur
many days of sickness as formerly.
II takes money TO do this, but it is fig
ured that the increased earning pow.
er OF the individual will permit him
easily to pay the increased tax and
have profit" from the transaction,
II such terms may be used in this con
nection But this isn't the popular
way of looking at it, for the increas-
ed tax is very plain. while. the bene-
fits which the increase purchases do
not show up plainly even il they are
there.
But the widening OF the scope of
governmental interference in every.
day life does not account for all of
the increase in the cost OF running Il
state. II it did, there wouldn't be
so much complaint as is now being
heard. Vermont is on the right road
which leads to the infusion OF strict
ly business methods in the admins
tration OF state affairs. The passing
OF the purchasing agent act shows
that. But the people want more for
their dollar than they are now get
ting. A whole lot of money is spent
In passing foolish, trifiing, and I'M
needed legislation. The people want
less expense on the part of the Legis-
latrue itself. They want business
done as promptly as is consistent
with the doing of good work.
One method Of keeping track of ex.
penses and OF guiding a Legislature
which has been suggested by the Mes
scnger for years is the budget sys.
TEN. There is absolutely no reason
why Vermont should not have as com
plete a budget as any government on
the face Of the earth. II Is no argu-
ment to say that Vermont doesn't
need one because 4; is a small state.
Granted II is a small state. ii never.
theless remains that it is spending
the tax OF every individual in the
state just as much as If 1t were thou
sand times more populous than it
nov Is. And IL it is small. all the
more reason why Is should take all
precautions to spend what it has
wisely and well. for it is in competi.
ton with other richer and more pop
ulcns states.
This matter OF state expenses is
most important It ought not to eh
permitted to slip and slide along. The
state must increasingly appropriate
IL II is to keep the procession Of its
sister commemorative. and good Fl
nancing demands a modern budget
system.-St. Adams Messenger.
