/ z donN come here to abuse our

worth declared. II have nothing
against them-I just suspect them.
The longer serve in public Office the
nssre fully | am convinced that the
qssstion of dollars is the one aues-
tim that affects US all more intimately
sMn any other. We are more con-
ettned with how the government
sssnds our money than we are with
sasthing else that it does. We all

Taxes Paid by Everybody.
eWe constantly hear the proposition
II financial heresies to the effect that
taxes can be SO assessed that only a
few special groups need be taxed to run
.he government. These ideas are as old
% civilization. They are false. Ac-
tually the taxes are paid ultimately by
everybody in the community. / sup

with women In politics. Let me saw.
however, that in all probability four
afths Of all the money srent annually
IN this world is spent by women. They
are the worlds marketers. The Ameri

Mue cause.

Now think Of the situation March a
ssxi, when the Republican Administra
non began its work. Expenses Of gov
sshment were $500 600, 600 wear
The burden Of taxation was enormous
AVerything was taxed, from an ice
Feam soda to seat in church. De-
spite burdensome taxation the govern.
rsnt had found 1t impossible to maat
ats annual expenditures. Prices were
sky high, unemployment was increas-
mg People were unable to live on
fhe incomes they earned.
/ What was the trouble? 1t was to
Pc found in the way your business af-
sairs-the business affairs of the ma
Eof-had been handled in Washington.
= was up to the Republican Admins
sration to face this fearful muddle and
straighten out the worst financial tam
ele in the history of this nation. Pres
fdept Wilson had vetoed the budget
piE. President Harding signed it. Of
course he did. 1t enabled us for the
1rst time to know just how much
