THE FEVER OF SPENDING PUBLIC MONEY
BY WILLIAM e. BORAH
United States Senator From Idaho

effect beyond our power to portray.
The most exacting taskmaster in
the world is the public debt. The
most remorseless cruelty which q
community as a whole a experience
is this ceaseless never-ending strug-
gle to meet its obligations. If 1t has
any advantages to bestow, 1t bestows
them upon the few and w~ell-favored
those who are able to hold bonds
and collect the interest. But 1t sits
with the average citizen at his meals
and accompanies him in his daily
a~vocation to take from him all that
he car be persuaded or driven to give
and leaves him nothing in return.
think the public debt a curse. 1t
eats out the substance Of the people,
kills initiative. undermines and cor
rupts society, breeds discomfort and
disorder. and often destroys Govern
ment itself. The immediate and
most commanding task of all those
who would see a composed world and
prosperous and orderly communities
and States is to devise ways and
means to reduce 1t, IL possible, and
in the name of humanity to see that
1t goes no higher.
The most stupendous fact at the
close of the war was the world debt.
The most pressing and complex prob
lem was how to stay its growth and,
II possible, lessen its weight. But no
move was made, nor has there been
any move made in that direction In
any of the allied or associated coun-
tries. The futile and absurd prop
osition that the cost of the war and
the worlds debt could be extracted
from Germany was fiouted before the
people, while the expenditures for
militarism and ornaments we're in
creased beyond anything ever before
contemplated. With incontfnent
haste and reckless plunging we be-
gan to compete with each other in
building for future wars.
With our huge debt already upon
us. with our current expenses greater
than we dare lay taxes to cover, we
surge ahead-plunge ahead toward
universal bankruptcy. When are we
going to tighten these burdens? How
are we going to do 1t? Where is the
program? Have we lost our cunning
in everything in Gods tortured world
ave that of appropriating public
money? there must be a change Of
program some time, and in my judy
ment at no distant time.
In our own country business Is
worried and discouraged by crushing
taxes, while 100000 workmen are
seeking employment. Taxes and ap-
preparations, appropriations and tax
es, will not cure such conditions. I'm
Just and oppressive taxation-this
will destroy the morale of the most
self-poised and patient people in the
world and shake the foundation Of
the most noble and freest institution
ever devised by sage or patriot.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1921-05-28

The people will have to make up
their minds that they are not going to
get any money for real internal de-
velopment, or for taking ARE of those
things which r so essential to the
betterment of industrial and agricul-
tural conditions, until we adopt a
different program with reference to
those things which really swallow up
the vast sums of money which Con-
gress appropriates.
The appropriation bill for the Navy
carries 1895, 100000. We are about
to construct and are in the process of
construction of some 16 capital ships,
which cost about $40,000,00 apiece.
I am perfectly clear that we could
suspend the building Of at least six
Of these capital ships without detri-
ment to the country, and ultimately
without weakening the Navy. and
\ thereby save $240,000,00 II we
could cut a hundred million from the
Army cost and two or three hundred
million from naval cost, we would be
cutting our expenses and making a
saving which would mean something.
1t is impossible, perhaps, to esti-
mate the worlds debt. Some have
placed 1t has high as $348. 000,0 00,-
900. Our own Indebtedness, our pub
debt, is about $4,000, 100000. We
are appropriating about $4,000,000,-
900 or $4,000, 000, 900 for current ex-
penses and we are facing a deficit of
some $4,000, 000,0 ZOO.
The fever of spending which we
contracted during the wal is still rag
ing. The Joy riding in the Public
Treasury Is still Jul chief delight.
This to me is a greater menace than
faced during the a War has its
menace and its threatening problems.
but none more menacing than the
shameless waste of public funds and
the laying on Of unnecessary burdens
upon a people already bending under
a fearful load. De WI fully appre-
ciate the situation, or must we con-
fess our inability or unwillingness to
deal with It?
This debt, which now rests like a
mortgage in process of everlasting
foreclosure upon the brain and the
energy Of this human family, really
staggers Q gaputation, and In its de-
moraiizing and deadening effect beg

Stamp is Given
the Death Penalty

Walter P. Stamp, charged with the
killing of W. Smith Russell and
wounding his wife while they were
driving on the streets of Louisville
several weeks ago, was found guilty
by a jefferson county jury and his
punishment fixed at death. Clem
Higgins, counsel for Stamp, tried
hard for a change of venue, and
after he had failed did not chal-
lenge but one juror and offered alb
solutely no testimony in behalf of
his client. Higgins stated that he
would ask for a new trial and if this
was denied he would carry the case
to the court of appeals. The murder
of which Stamp was convicted, is
said to be one of the most cold
blooded on record in Jefferson coun-
ty and the quick disposition of the
case by the jury is to be commended.

Splendid Attractions

We wish to call attention to the
Tabb Theatre program on another
page, which comprises a list of ex-
ceptoinal picture attractions. We
think the Tabb is to be commended
in offering at this time program Of
such high class pictures with many
theatres now resorting to cheap pic
lures during the present theatrical
depression we are glad that our own
theatre has the courage of its con-
viction to offer such program Of
merit under existing conditions. With

ture from her own studio Friday,

special production. Saturday, Jackie
Coogan in Peck's Bad Boy. The little
star that played with Chaplin in the
"Kid," and Charles Ray in "The Old
Swimmin' Hole" Wednesday, we hope
you will agree with us that you
should make special effort to at
tend these shows.

Council Meets

The City Council met in regular
session in the Council Chamber on
Tuesday night. Much routine busi-
ness was transacted and the officers
reports were received The Council
passed an ordinance that the city's
police force shall consist of three
policemen in addition to the Chief Of
Police, and Neale Guilfoile was elect
ed on the force. Mr.. Guilfoi'e.
former prohibition officer was con-
sidered one of the best in the state.
The Council instructed the officers
to keep closest watch on bootleggers,
now thought to be operating here,
and to do everything in their power
to stop the sale of whiskey in this
city. It is thought that the election
of Mr.. Guilfoile on the force will be
of great help along these lines. The
Council also instructed the officers
to arrest all violators of the auto
mobile laws, and to see that the laws
are strictly enforced.

JUST ONE week MORE OF
THE BIGGEST VOTE Offer
Only Short Time Left to Secure the Greatest Number
of Votes on Your Subscriptions. Hand Your Fa-
vorite Subscription or Renewal Before Next Thurs
day, July 18th

your friends that they are saving
zoe on each years subscription they
pay for now. Now they get it at
the special bargain rate of $50 a
year-after the contest the regular
rate of $500 a year will prevail.
To illustrate this offer more fully,
note the following example:
Suppose you had secured a one
year new subscription earlier in The
contest and had been given 10000
votes on same. You now get the sub
scriber to extend his subscription for
another year by paying $1.50 more.
Then on the second payment we
would give the difference between
26.400 votes number given on two
year subscription), and 10000 votes
or 16,600 votes on the second pay
ment.
In this case mark the subscription
"New Extended" or "Old Extended"
as the case may be, so we will not
send the subscriber two papers.
Where the subscription was new
when you first secured it, the second
payment will be considered new also
so far as votes are concerned, pro-
vided both payments are secured by
the same contestant.
Try and get some of your friends
to increase their subscription to five
years. Every year they pay in ad-
vance now means saving Of SOC.
No count was made for today's
issue, as the campaign manager was
out of town. All votes deposited in
the ballot box since the last count

The campaign manager will return

office Saturday until a P. M. All

Hoffman Reelected
President C.-of-C Co.

At the mid summer lunch Wednes-
day noon the Chamber of Commerce
at the Delicious Cafe, elected Off
GERS for the coming year. Fl. g.
Hoffman was reelected president; I;
w. T. Tyler, vice president; Claude
Fitzpatrick, treasurer; Jesse Hahn
line, secretary, while the board Of di-
rectors is made up Of s. c. Sharp,
Robert Collier, Greene Strother,
Jesse Highland and John Stofer.
President Hoffman asked those
present how many Of them wished
to continue their membership through
another year and it is most crafty
ing to know that Of the thirty five
assembled thirty-five hands were
raised.
This organization, while only a
year old, has shown some wonderful
results and the town and county is
to be congratulated that they have
such live, enterprising lot Of in
teresting citizens in its midst.
Plans were announced and are be-
( ing formulated for a Booster trip
on the 18th TO surrounding towns,
East and North of us, and on the
18th West and South Of us in the
interest of the Montgomery County
Fair, which begins on the Goth.
The Chamber of Commerce has
adjourned until September, at which
time its regular semi monthly lunches
will again be taken up and we make
the prophesy that during the admin
istration of the newly elected Of
ficers there will be quite bit do
ing. The Advocate congratulates
them on their selection of officers
and again wishes to publicly assure
them that the columns Of this paper

stand are theirs for the asking.

You still have until 6 P. M. next
Thursday, July 14th, to take ad-
vantage of the big 100000 vote Of
fer. Are you doing so or are you
wasting these precious hours when
sutscritions bring so many votesf
This is the last chance you will have
to take advantage of this mammoth
vote inducement, for it will not be
repeated, and you will never again
be able to get so many votes on your
subscription as right now. AS the
campaign nears the close the vote
offers will keep getting lower and
lower and on the last day Of the
campaign you will only be able to
get few votes on your subscrip-
tons. Possibly some of your friends
have told you to "wait until the last
day, for you will get more votes on
your subscriptions" This is mis-
taken idea, and if you take such ad-
vice from your friends you are 60
ing to be greatly disappointed. Time
and time again we have guaranteed
in the writeups that this is the last
chance you will have to take ad-
vantage of a large vote offer, and
we again wish to repeat that you
will never again be able to make
your subscriptions bring as many
votes as they will between now and
next Thursday. Read over the big
vote offer below and then get busy
among your friends without further
delay.
