EXTRAVAGENCE
ABROAD

Editor Republican,:
The following well written article
expresses my views exactly on the
extravaganza that is broadcast in the
land and you will do me a favor by
publishing same.
ROBERT BAXTER.
During the past few years craze
for spending money has spread over
the land with the result that taxes
and public debts have increased by
leaps and bounds, and have now rea-
ched alarming totals in many places. |
This country has seen nothing like |
the present extravaganza since the
middle of the last century when the
craze that swept over the land for
the construction of railroads, canals,
highroads and other public improve.
ments left many of the States bank
rupt and with bonded indebtedness
so large that reputation could not
be avoided.
Men who have reaped a rich har-
vest out of the money that has been
spent for public improvements are
urging the people directly, and am
told in some cases by said agents, to
new and further extravagences. They
say to the people-'why wait for
good roads and other things you
would like to have? Why not issue
bonds for these permanent improve
ments' and begin to enjoy them at
once and incidentally make the next
generation pay part of the cost?'
First of all would like to express
the opinion that there are no perma-
nent improvements. Fol example,
the best road ever built will soon go
to pieces If substantial sums are not
spent on keeping it up. In the next
place it should always be remember
J ed by the taxpayer that in voting for
!. bond issue he is voting to place a
first mortgage on his property. And
finally l would ask. what opinion
would you hold of the business sense
of a man who would mortgage all
his property to build handsome
home that cost far more than his
present income justified, all on the
theory that it was permanent &C
quisition and that it would cost hin
nothing to begin to enjoy it at once
