BEFORE
AND AFTER THE WAR

The annual expenditures for all
government purposes prior to the
war amounted to $500, 900, 900,
and the total bonded indebtedness
was approximately $1,0OO,OOO, 900,
the interest charges on the amount
being $4,000 a year. When the
books are all put in order the United
States will have interest bearing OBJ
legations amounting to about $34,.
900 100000 and the annual interest
and sinking fund charge will amount
to something like 81, 600, 900, 900.
These figures make it perfectly plain
that the interest charges alone of this
government in the future will be the
equal of, if not greater than the to-
tal cost of maintaining the govern
ment prior to the war. These are
stern figures, yet the American peo-
pie carefully and delibertely incur
red the obligations they represent
Congressman Ricketts, of Ohio, voices
inc oDlgatlon or congress toward the
public most admirably. He says:
The American people should stop,
look and listen. They have appar-
emily gone money mad. They are
standing on tip toe, all working on
high tension. The people of the Unit
ed States need to be rebaptised in
pure, unadulterated Americanism.
They should be taught the lesson of
thrift, frugality, and economy, which,
of necessity is the result of indus
try. Our national debt is staggering,
but we must meet it and pay it. How
are we to do it? Go on making ex-
travagant appropriations? No; cur
tail them. 1t is up to congress to.
devise the ways and means.
