Excessive Appropriations

The five billion dollar mark in appropriations
for the next fiscal year has been passed by con-
gress. This sum represents expenditures for
which the people must supply the money. Five
billion dollars for the administration Of the fed
eral government is staggering in a
country where we figure in millions.
1t means that every man, woman and child in
the United States must pay on an average of $40
each to keep the federal government operating,
to say nothing of the state and local taxes which
must be added to the $40.
The increase in our taxes has almost reached
a critical point. The cry of the public for cur
tailment of expenditures by the legislative bod
les seems to have been unheard in the clamorous
demand for expenditures for various purposes.
The five billion dollars in appropriations does
not include the retirement of portion of the
heavy war debt upon which the country is pay
ing interest semi-annuay in the form of coupons
clipped from Liberty bonds. The money is to be
used for paying the running expenses of the gov
eminent.
Some point to the unparalleled wealth of our
country, to our developed and undeveloped nat
ural resources, and to the many other points of
our national strength and stamina but this does
not remove the fact that we are steadily increas-
ing tax burden, thereby making it more diff
ficult for an Individual or a company to utilize
these advantages fully A heavy tax burden
means increased costs and prices, and that the
Individual must annually pay to the government
money which otherwise would be diverted to the
savings bank or used for the expansion of bust
ness.
The welfare of every Individual will be served
by reduction in governmental expenditures and
a consequent lowering in the tax rate An indi-
vidual who is heavily in debt restricts his expen-
ditures to necessities and denies himself luxuries
in order that he may reduce his obligations. The
government should accept this policy for the
benefit of it's taxpayers and not wait until real
crisis develops.

Open places for playground purposes have al
