Opposition of Republican news
Ipapers to Republican extraviganc,
IN appropriations and expenditure
is beginning to develop, although
the administration has been il
office less than four months.
"A conspicuous instance of revol,
IS found in the editorial columns Of
the Akron CO.. Beacon Journal.
Referring to the passage of the
French naval budget just passed,
which carries only $4,000, 900,
as against our appropriation of
nearly half billion dollars, the
Beacon Journal says:
This should be enough to
cause us to pause for thought. But
we are not going to do it. We are
going to load the people down
with useless taxes, we are going
to spend billion and quarter for
war NEARLY a billion when the
people need bread and apparently
we do not care what they think
about it. Such madness is almost
uncomfortable and if the party now
IN power thinks it is going to
escape an accounting at the hands
Of the people it is sadly mistaken.
It can serve the interests of the !
hip builders, the powder makers,
he armor plate manufacturers

IS sure as God reigns the people
will not stand for it. They will not
ways consent to have their faces
round down on the stone of con-
sCatory taxation, and the glib
entlemen now in Congress who
re all TOR economy in their speech
and yet vote for this thing will {
ave to face day of reckoning, for q
lie people must put an end to this
ing before there can ever be a 2
ope of lower taxes in this country. p
The issue is perfectly plain. The o
eacon Journal is a Republican C
wspaper, but it wants to say II
re and now that it will follow no
rty md no man in a cause so p
linly bad. On the other hand it III
