A s33, 900, OO0, 900 MILESTONE
II a farmer or business man
finds himself deep in debt his first
aim is to find some method OF re-
ducing it. .-E.
That goes for the housewife, too!
All recognize a heavy burden OF
debt as a milestone around the neck
of any individual, or firm, or family
that is attempting to keep its al
fairs on a successful basis.
Moreover, they all know the ef-
fective method of solving their
problem. It is Economy.
But the politicians, during recent
wears, seem to think they have
found happier solution. Instead OF
irving a reasonable economy, they
have been turning to a program OF
increased expenditures, increased
extravaganza, deeper plunges into
the spreading pool of red ink.
This is indicated by the way they
have been boosting the Public Debt.
It probably explains why the Fed
eraI Debt alone has risen steadily
from approximately $4,000 100000
in 1882, to $27,O00,00O,00O in 1884,
and to an all-time high Of more
than $50, 600, 100000 for 1886.
It's an alluring method-to the
politicians. But it's less attractive
to the farmer and the business man
and the housewife who know that
they must pay the debts which poll
ticians create.
And It becomes still less attract
i've when they realize that public
debt is ACTUALLY an obscure method
Of adding to our axes-with the
bills marked for later date or Of
piling up heritage of liens against
the future earnings Of our children
But the mere realization Of these
facts on the part of the public isn't
enough. IF the farmer and the bust
ness man and the housewife want tc
stop the piling up of bills for them
and their children to pay in added
labor and added sacrifice and higher
prices, they must make the polite
ians face the facts, too.
A 1900, 900, 900 milestone is q
heavy handicap for the workers and
earners and taxpayers Of America
to carry along the hard road to re-
covery.

The civil service commission of
the state Of Ohio has decided to
make an experiment by extending
the merit system into county gov
ernments Of the state. The expert
ment will be watched with interest.
After all, the selection, by popular
vote, Of those to handle the business
Of the country and to spend the tax
money, is not wise or economic. No
business man would think Of it
even in a small business, yet there is
no hesitancy about turning over
the government Of q county and the
spending Of quarter Of a million
dollars upwards Of tax money to
q group selected solely because Of
their ability to secure the popular
vote. The Ohio experiment offers
an interesting object lesson.
