FEDERAL ExPENpIrUREs.

Congressman Mondell brings a matter Of much importance directly to the at- tention of congress when he declares that there must be cut in the depart mental appropriations of between bill lion and a quarter and billion and a half dollars He made the plea both on the grounds of extravaganza and the necessity of keeping down taxation, and it will, be well for the national legisla- tors to keep such poicy in view in the making of appropriations for some time to come
 Years ago congress was told that the government by the introduction of eff ciency and the elimina. ion of waste
 could effect a saving of about million
 dollars a day Whatever the need was then for the practice of economy and
 the getting of the government down tC business basis it exists many times over today. We have plunged into a
 tremendous debt because we had to
 But those conditions are over and ih ic to be hoped that there win be an end to the lavish expenditures which went with them
 That we must meet our debt and pay our needed expenses is fully recognized but tha. doesn't mean the plunging into the outlay of money on limitleSs scale just because recommendations have been made as to how 1t could be used and wasted, or because such a habit has been acquired within the past | few years.
 The time for retrenchment is at hand We need to eliminate the waste motion in government business and to shut of l tho avenues through which needless ex- penditures are inclined to go. We must realize that debt and necessary expenses
 are going to call for a sufficiently large
 tax without giving way to the tendency to push it up any higher or make it ex
 tend over any longer period than Is nee
 essary.
