CHEAPEST THING IN THE WORLD

Did you ever stop to note how many children and grown-ups these days have forgotten entirely the rud iments of politeness?
 As the older folks drift along fighting for living, ofte abstractiveness is mistaken for impoteness but this quality should be unknown in children. How many children remember to say Good monng, Mr. etc." or Good night, etc?"
 In the mad race for jazzy stuff many have forgot ten alas and alack, the common courtesies.
 Costing nothing is perhaps one it will soon be labeled among the lost arts but for him who has his eye on the pinnacle of success he will cultivate poeness in all things Amen.

Effected Biggest Transaction.
The greatest financial transaction in
the worlds history has been carried on
bv this Nation with unexampASd sue
cess At the close OF the Worlo war,
our public debt was $26 800, 900 600, the
annual interest on this sum was pNac-
tically a billion dollars. In little over
10 wears we have paid of over $lG,-
600 0OO. 900 Of the principal and the an.
nual interest charge has been reduced
10 about S400 600, 900. During the last
fiscal year we paid on the principal OF
the debt $746,0OO, 900. What does this
mean If it needs to be further empha-
sized? It means that in a little over
10 years we have paid of two or three
times the amount OF the national oept
at the close of the Civil War, which
was not fully discharged when we
entered the World War. While paying
of our national debt at an average OF
over $500, 900, 900 a year, we reduced
taxes several times and relieved thou
sands Of our people of all direct taxes
to the National Government and at the
same time put the Government into
new lines of activities for the benefit
of the people. No doubt mistakes have
been made. but when, and by whom, in
the worlds history has srrh a record
of business efficiency and honesty been
made?

Department for 1890 was 100000, 900,
while for 1881 it was over $500, 900 900.
For the Agricultural Department in
1890 we appropriated 81 SOC, 900 mote
this small sum-, while for the fiscal
year of 1881 we appropriated over $l55,-
100000. It should be said, however,
that included in the $155.000,000 is the
sum of about sos, 100000 for high
ways.
Billion Dollar Congresses.
There are strange cycles in annual
appropriations for the expenses of Gov
eminent since 1873. In 1873 our APP
they were 1895 900 900, and they ex-
ceeded $4o0,000,000 only twice during
the period of l9 years. In 1892 they
were 1924 .0OO,0 900 and in 1898 1928, 0OO,-
900, being less than $500, 900 900 twice
during that period. In 1893 and 1894
we had the noted billion dollar Con-
gress and in 1895 and 1896 we had less
than a billion-dollar Congress, but
every Congress since has appropriated
a billion dollars or more. From 1899 to
1908 our appropriations increased from
1892, 600 900 to $919, 900 900, with slight
variations from year to year. In 1909
they were a trifle over 81 900, 000, 900,
with an increase to $1,ll4, 100000 and
in 1916, with slight variations between.
Can any one see any signs of extrava-
gance in these increases? I think they
were nothing more than what one could
expect in our growing country.
In 1917, war preparations began, and
we appropriated over $1,628, 900, 000
We then entered the war in earnest. We
made the largest annual appropriations
in the worlds history. In 1918, we ap-
propriated over $4,000 100000 and In
1919, over $4,000, 00O,0 900, or over $45,-
600 10000 in two years. The highest
amount in any one year since was
$1,000 100000, and the lowest amount
appropriated in any one year since was
$4,000, 900 900 in 1925. Since then we
have appropriated annually over
$4,000, 100000, until for 1881, q little
over $4,000, 100000 This is a large
sum of money. Is is extravagant? Does
it indicate waste? Not when analysed.
At least 70 per cent of this sum is
deemed necessary to meet the needs for
defense and care for the results of war.
A little over $200,000,000 of 1t is the
result of emergency legislation, leaving

with new and expanding activities.
These vast appropriations furnish a po-
litical war cry in a campaign year, but
they in fact measure the activities Of a
great Government in behalf of the well
fare of a progressive people with con-
veniences of life unequaled by any peo-
ole in the worlds history. It is sig
nificant that no one who complains OF
our large appropriations ever points out
any specific items that should be
omitted.
Extravagance Charged.
It is charged by those of high posi-
ton and honorable character that there
is great extravaganza in our appropria-
lions. They have had much to do with
making them and should know and be
able to specify the items on which such
a charge is made. Only one specific
item is given. 1t is said that the cost
of running the Presidents Office has
increased by sci .48o over the preced-
ing wear of the last administration.
This is true. No head of any govern
ment in the world has such problems to
meet and such duties to perform as the
President of the United States. They
are increasing and becoming more diff

is intimated but not directly charged
that such refunds are fraudulently or
improperly made. No one, OF course
