direction. but they are inclined from past
experience to be dubious Of Republican good

TO support n scheme for Il billion-dollar cut
in expenditures, Which would prove to be
only nominal under the well-known repre-
hensible practice Of authorizing work or ex-
pendture which later on compels urgent de-
fciency appropriations. If the imperative
needs OF the government for the year can
be fully met after making such IL cut in the

is to make capital to influence the result OF
the next election by Gripping governmental
efficiency the people will refuse TO support
