that the general public will find itself
in a condition of servitude" unless all
governmental costs are reduced, was

The letter was addressed to Rear Ad-

All six are members of the Advisory
Council to the league.
The letter said:
In two decades We have seen the
cost Of Government rise from about
three billion dollars to about fourteen
billion dollars. This was too much
when taxes were moderately easy to
pay. 1t is a crushing burden under
present business conditions.
We believe that these public ex-
penditures should be reduced all along
the line. Every unnecessary action OF
the Government should be abolished
High salaries should be reduced. The
people should be permitted to spend
more Of their earnings on themselves
and required to spend less on the tax
collector.
Menace to Independence.
I'VE must discharge our obligations
to the veterans and their dependents
But we should waste no money and toll
crate no extravaganza under the claim
Of performing any of these necessary
functions.
"All the costs of local, State and
National Government must be reduced
without fear and without favor Unless
the people through unified action arise
and take charge of their Government
they will find that their Government
has taken charge Of them. Independ-
ence and liberty will be gone and the
general public will find itself in q con-
dition Of servitude to an aggregation of
organized and selfish minorities.
When that day comes our political
and economic system will neither merit
nor command the respect and support
Of the people, and universal bankruptcy
and anarchy will prevail. If we are to
be saved from that catastrophe we must
join in organized service, organized sac
rifice and organized patriotism"
