Retrenchment Is Republican
70 The Republican party stands
for economy and careful supervision
in the expenditure of the public funds.
The congress is now engaged in
campaign of drastic retrenchment in
appropriations, and has in process of
passage budget bill that will save
millions of dollars in the future.
The Democratic party is emerging
from such an orgy of criminal waste
as has never been witnessed before in
the history of the world. Even a year
after the war had ceased it made re-
quests for funds far in excess of those
needed for the necessary functioning
of the government. which have been
saved to the people only through the
vigilance of Republican congress.

its representatives in congress propos-

The Democratic party was unable

amendment. although it had control of
the senate for six years and of the
house of representatives eight years.

speech and action minded to cripple
or destroy the government.
The Democratic party. on the one
hand. has Invoked war emergency leg

of thought considered inimical to its

with sedition.
Other Wide Variances

that in quick return to the law OF
supply and demand lies the real So
luton of the high cost of living from
which the country now suffers.
The Democratic party seeks rem
edy in artificial stimulation of supply
and arbitrary regulation of price. A
year after the war has ceased the coun
try finds itself in the throes of an or
ey of profiteering in sugar as the di
rect result of such unnatural interfer
ence.
