American people will regard such a
proceeding as very queer one De
cause the issuing of bonds Dy the
Cleveland administration largely help
ed to bring about the downfall OF the
Democratic party in 1896. A pond
issue has ever since been viewed Win
adherence by the Democracy; now,
we find the party leaders compelled
by reason of their extravaganza and
inefficiency, to resort tout.
''To defray the expenses or nitrate
plant and of a shipping board and
many other needless projects by the is
suing of Panama bonds will be in the
last analysis equivalent to paying for
them by bond issues. These bonds are
lying In the treasury un1ssued as the
result of the thrift and economy and
wise administration of the Republican
party.
"Only about S13O,OOO,OO0 of bonds
were put out in the construction of the
Panama canal TIE balance OF the
cost of that stupendous undertaking
was paid out of current revenues; and
now, to advance the novel doctrine
that these bonds which represent the
thrift of preceding years shall be is
sued for these questionable projects is,
to my mind, preposterous. In fact, 1t
was expressly provided in the Spoon
err act that Panama canal bonds should
not be issued for any other purpose
than that of the construction OF the
canal, and the ingenious theory that
they can be issued now to repay the
treasury and that then the money can
be squandered by the party in power
to finance doubtful projects and to
make good a deficit will not alter the
fact that such a deficit exists.
''No amount of reasoning on the part
of the chairman of the committee on
finance will alter the fact that outside
of preparedness there has been at least
$20O,O00,OO0 Of wasteful appropriations
and expenditures by the present con-
gress. That condition of the treasury
will absolutely necessitate the with
holding of contracts for battleshipS
and delay the whole scheme of pre-
Daredness.
"The figures of the secretary of the
treasury may be juggled as they may,
but when the secretary is up against
the brute fact Of not having money to
pay for these projects he will then find
that figures will not make surplus
in the treasury"
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-10-19
FIGURES. DON'T LIE

The OLD saying that figures
don't lie may be true enough
but that figures can be used to
present two sides of a political
question is apparent from the
way they are being used in the
present political campaign
The Democrats are endeavOring
to show that the Phillip ad-
ministration has been an ex
travagent one and they are
pointing to the condition of the
state treas ury to bear out their
statements.
But in using the figures they
fail to mention the reasons why
the balancein the state treasury
on October 1st should be less
than it was in 1915. By a
legislative act the time of pay
ment Of railroad taxes was
changed from August 10th to
November 1st and of course
nearly two millions Of dollars
which was left on hand last year
at this time will not become due
until Novem Der LIST. Another
Legislative act impairing the
general fund of the state was
the terminal tax paid to cities
where terminals are located
amounting to over a quarter OF
a million of. dollars. And going
back to 1915 nearly one million
was collected from counties for
good roads which was placed in
the general fund. If all of these
are taken into consideration ii
will be shown that the present
administrator has been an
economical one for the taxpay-
ers of the state.

William R. Wilcox, chairman of the
Republican National committee, has re-

but positive summing up of the ex-
travagances Of the Wilson administra-

about to close. The senator says:
when the country realizes what this
congress has done in the way OF ap-
preparations it will be dumfounded.
Already it has been shown that over
a billion, seven or eight hundred mil
lion dollars have been appropriated
more money than was ever approprl-
ated in any one year in the history OF
the American government. The total
will reach nearly $2,O00,OOO,OOO BEFORE
the end of this carnival of debauch-
cry in public expenditures is re"ched'

the $3O,OO0,OO0 which the government
will probably have to refund as a re
suit of the per cent rebate allowed
on importations brought across the seas
in American bottoms, and other mat
tiers which are likely to come up.
at is only too evident that this bill
which is expected to bring In some
S2OO,OOo,OO0 will absolutely fail to
meet even the requirements for the
i'll advised and certainly not urgent
projects authorized by the present con-
greSs.
1T is now claimed that these pro
jects are to be financed by the issu-
ance of Panama canal bonds. Tbs
