The taxpayer Is next of kin to the

charity, begins at home. The boys
best friend is his mother. but the tax
payers only friend Is himself. The
only thing that can be done for him is
to disclose as wildly as possible how
much his government is costing and
let him decide what he will do about
1t. 1t all comes down to this: The
more money the government spends
through defective organization or ex-
travagance, the less you have to spend
or save.
So much for the cost of the national
business we support. We are all mi
nority stockholders. The concern has
no other source of revenue than our
contributions 1t doesn't make any
money. In times like these, when al
most everybody feels that he gets too
little for what he sells and has to pay
too much for what he buys, 1t seems
to me the least we can do Is to take
an active and intelligent interest In
this great common enterprise of ours
and make sure that 1t is well organ
lied; that 1t doesn't waste or spend
extravagantly that the employees are
paid an adequate wage and have
proper working conditions that their
morale is kept high and their enthu-
sasm in our interest undated; in fine,
that as a business it shall be conduct
ed as efficiently and economically and
on as modern scientific principles as
any large private business.
Is it?
That is question you must answer
for yourself after l have acquainted
you with the actual situation and con-
dition.

THE BURDEN OF TAXES

Before the war the government oil
the United States spent about one oil
lion dollars d year for all purposes,
including interest on the public debt.
In the fiscal year ending June 50 l9-o'
the first full fiscal year after hghtihg
stopped, the government spent III
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year l9Zl'
that is, up to June 30 1921, it spent
S5.I15027 $50 30, and in the fiscal year
of 1922. which will end on June 30,
1922, it will spend more than four Dill
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon OF
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest on the
public debt which amounts TO about
one billion dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re-
demption. Including both interest ana
sinking fund, the government VIII
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1922 as it spent yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are a part Of the price OF VIC
tory. Your whole present problem is
to curtail them. 1t concerns you TO
know just how these immense sums
were gathered and how much you paid
and are paying toward them, for of
course we, the tax payers, the men and
women with jobs, the men and women
who have what the census calls gain

ment alone, in addition to what is

few have attained wider celebrity
than LADY Roses Daughter" of
which Mrs. Humphrey Yard is the
author. This perturbation. present
ing lovely Elsie Ferguson in a most
pleasing triple role, is the attraction
at the Temple theater today and to

theme is intensely dramatic and the
various situations in which the young
heroine is involved are filed with
heart appeal. In the cast are such
favorites as David Powell and Holmes
Herbert.
