EXPENDITURES EXCEED INCOME.

EXPENDITURES EXCEED INCOME.
National expenditure has far outrun
income. Revenue Is decreasing and
obligations are increasing. The dis
crepancy is matter of $120,0o0,00 in
a period Of seven months. The deficit
is real not psychological. And the
country will not tolerate further taxa
ton. II the income tax failed to make
good the tariff loss, and the war tax
failed to compensate for the income
tax shortage, then there is no recourse
but the most rigid economy.
There Is nothing derogatory to the
dignity of a government in practicing
economy. The administration must
curtail its extravaganza and check It's
benevolence. Federal patronage must
not be used, for party bounty Build
ings are erected, trucking streams ex-
cavated and army posts maintained
that have no justification whatsoever.
The only purposes they serve are as
trophies for congressman to wave be-
fore the grateful eyes of their constit-
uents. If the nation could afford to
continue the pork barrel tradition it
would still be wrong; when we are fac
ing national deficit it is monstrous.
