Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1914-09-17

The Message has a fall-out with
President Wilson and his admin
istration; if we must raise that
S100,000,000 war tax, why not
make wholesale cut in the sala
ries of government officials. The
President might spare half of his
annual $4,000, and each Con-
gresham and Senator could give
up half of his, and 50 on down
to the postmasters. Each could
vet live sumptuously, and none
of them need come to want.
Why, indeed could not this be
donet Why are salaries always
advanced and never reducedl And
as the salaries go up so also must
the taxes. There are too many
Offices, anyway, but the lawmakers
are always ready to pile up
the salaries, never reduce them.
Wen give leather medal to the
fellow in Congress who will take
up the suggestions we have here
offered and force action upon
them.
