Dancers Must Pay
Piper At All Times
The Demand Upon Congress Ex-
s. hausts Revenue Fastl,r Than
Income Taxes Increase

Complaint is arising all over
the country Of extravagant ex-
penditures by every kind Of gov
ernnent and Of excessive increase
Of taxation to meet it. State ex-
penses double in ten years or so,
municipal expenditures grow fast
er than populations or property
valuation, the demand upon con-
gress for appropriations exhausts
revenue faster than income tax
es and new tariffs can pile it up.
There is only one remedy, con-
structive work. The complaint
Of extravagant public expendi-
tmres and heavy taxation is not
SO loud as the dAemand for every
kind Of public necessity or benefit
that can be met in mo other way.
Cities must have usable streets,
enough schools, parks and public
buildings; States require in
stitutions for charity and correc-
tion, hospitals and sanitariums !;
the Nation wants river and har-
bor improvement drainage irrigs-
tion, Alaska railroads, and every
kind Of state aid to industry and
happiness.
These are not free boons Of
nature, they must be paid for,
and often the same citizens COM
plain loudly Of taxation for the
very benefit they clamored for.
There is no maj AZ about public
help to the citizen. at is not
something for nothing.
Constructive legislation is held
back BY substituting Incompetent
legisl Sfors for pmpetent ones
Ideas Of popular government
have led the States and the Ma
Eon away from ability. The man
who has proven his inco mpetency
in business management is sent
to Congress to pass ON great
questions. The result IS enfee-
bled government and waste. The
principle runs down through state
and municipal government.
Government by the people on
loose lines will not envolve eff
cheney. The argument for in
hentance tax was the assumed
relief it would give to taxpayers.
It gives lo relief because the
lack Of business efficiency in
legislation adds to taxation with
out giving any material equiva-
lent to the people.
The piper must sbe paid. But
business men in legislature would
find the way to aid development
and pay for it without burden

nal.

The PEOPLE. ARE WATT
ING 70 HEAR FROM RETAIN

The Benedict Banner makes
the following comments on the
article published two weeks ago
in the Leader:
The article was taken: from
the Washburn Leader Of Last
week and we do not vouch for
it's truthfnlnese, neither do we
mean to infer that it is untrue
H this is true which we have no
reason to doubt, we are very
march disappointe d in Mr.. Reitan
althO not closely acquainted with
him, we had been very favorably
impressed with the slight ac-
qu6intance we he'd. If it is true,
the Leader deserves Gre dit for
the exposure, if untrue Mr.. Rel
tan has resoulce and should not
hesitate to. use it, as hi sitst:en
en- his part will add proof to the
err statement. =
With all other d, cent, civiliz-
ed law abiding citizt nsyof McLeal
county we are glad this has com,
cut at this time as It will give
the Nters an opppl tnnity to do
some more house cleaning. A
drunken SGT should never be al
lowed to hold a county office. "A
county Office is Q publ G trust and
should not be held by a crook
gamble r or drnnkard. We await
Mr.. Re::t0n 8 denial Of the Lead
er's statement.
The Banner is right, Mr.. Rel
tan has been connt cted with the
Register Of deeds office for the
past six years and the Leader
hGs been very leinent with him.
But has he ever shown to the
people that he WIS pains4ahng
officer and attended strictly to
his official dutiesf
He should also tell by figures
how saving he has been, not by
stre ct talk, tlis also applies to
other officers that have been
serving the people for years.
A IT is pretty late to let the peo-
Pile know what they have been
doing for years, not wait till just
before the primaries and then
commence to tell how careful az |
saving they have been, give us
facts please, give US fact
