be effected, by careful study and
assessment Of the tasks to be per
formed; and the money spent ought

returns in efficiency and achievement.

so account for every dollar Of our ap-
preparations as TO make II perfectly
evident what it was spent for and In
what way it was spent
II Is not expenditure but extraya-
Gance that we should fear being crit
cized for; not paying for the legiti
mate enterprises and undertakings Of
great government whose people
command what it should do. but add
ing what will benefit only a few or
pouring money out for what need not
have been undertaken at all or might
have been postponed or better and
more economically conceived and car
ried out. The nation is not niggardly:
1t Is very generous. II will chide US
only if we forget for whom we pay
money out and whose money It Is we
pay.
