That's Tragedy

Brazen hypocrisy! Inexcusable
scheming to hoodwink workers!
The tragedy is that, while
Washington is everlastingly ex-
horting all the rest of us TO
become economical. to impose
upon ourselves self-denial, TO
save in order to buy United
States defense stamps and
bonds, it hasn't moved one inch
to set an example. II has talked
economy but has continued to
practice extravaganza.
. Will election results bring
home to President Roosevelt
and to Congress that ordinary
taxpayers have definitely turned
against profligate spending of
their money for non-prepared-
ness purposes?
Excessive taxation, historians
tell us, was more responsible
than any other one thing for
the downfall of powerful nations
of the past.

Awakening to Need

Political spending has been
running wilder than wild. The
arch culprit has been the federal
government. It's example has in
fected many state, county. and
municipal political officeholders.
Apparently the rank and file
of voters are awakening TO the
need for calling halt.
Little wonder. when they read
that the federal government
alone plans TO spend $4,000
100000 in II months-20 thou
sand millions of dollars.
With the exception OF one
year (1S65) up to 1917 the fed
eral government didn't spend as
much as $1,000, 100000 a year.
The sum of $40. 600, 900. 900 to
be spent now in one year, would
have kept our federal govern
ment running for more than the
first 100 years of its existence.

A straw: In my home county
voters turned thumbs down on
increasing salaries of policemen

munities.
Another straw: New York
voters kicked out politically
elected sheriffs who have been
costing a sweet penny. brought
these offices and their large

The lesson 1 read in the cleo
