GOVERNMENT SHOULD
REDUCE EXPENSES

Governmental waste has grown 10
be almost criminal. Each succeed
ing Congress exceeds the limit of ex.
penditures Of its predecessor. yet ev-
cry member of Congress knows down
in his heart that tn country could
save at least 100000. 600 a year if
the affairs Of tn country wre operated
along economical lines. The pork
barrel" bill, otherwise called the riv.
ers and harbor bill, Is n wanton waste
OF the money extorted from the peo'
pie. In erecting ptfbltc buildings the
government spends almost twice as
much as individuals or firms woulo
spend for the same structures. When
popular Senator'S or Congressman are
repuliated by their constituents sin.
ecure positions are created for them
and the defeated candidates become
known as "lame ducks" These lame
ducks are not entitled TO penny
OF the prtncely salaries they draw for
doing nothing but being good fel"
lows. With the cost Of living scontin-
ually on the upgrade and with many
thousands out of work, the coming
Congress should apply the pruning
knife, and apply it deep. There has
been altogether too much extrava-
gance in the management OF the gov
eminent as well as of the railroads.
and the time has come to establish
an era OF economy, but without par
simony. When it comes to voting
upon appropriations each member OF
the Senate and House should vote
1ust as he would were he voting away
his own good money. Extravaganza
is almost as Ubiquitous as graft when
the taxpayets are hard pressed to
make expenses in other directions.
The voters will expect the coming
Congress to put stop to many leaks.

WHAT CHARLESTON THINKS.


Let us. all prayerfully, hope that
the legislature will not pass partisan
city charter. Under this kind OF an
arrangement We had the worst govern
mcnt in the United States for many
years.
And: the bipartisan plan fostered by
Chiffon. Rummel. and Grosscup is Just
as undesirable. To be abreast of other
progressive American cities we must
have Il non. partisan city charter. For It
is quite evident to all thinking men and
women, that partlsanship in our city
governments has been the source OF
all our woes. Make the charter nom
partisan and this will render any good
man eligible for Office, and that, too,
irrespective Of politics and political
bosses.
The bosses want partisan city
charter, and back Of them is the pub
lie service utilities who favor the deal
With partisan city charter it makes
no. dNereuce to privilege which party
is elected, for either of them will serve
the special interests and the bosses
making the nominations. Let the slo.
