The State Auditor in Illinois has hit upon a problem be-
coming more apparent as government tends to assume more
of our responsibilities. His job is to see that the state revenue
meets the states obligations. Like many other officials, his
job has been complicated by mounting relief budgets. Here's
how he tells it.:
"We give relief recipients food, clothing, shelter and
medicine. We send them to hospitals in taxis. We bury them.
Now they want us to divorce them. Where is it going to end?
If welfare officials spent as much time dreaming up ways of
saving taxpayers money as they do dreaming. up ways of
spending it, the states financial picture would be a lot
brighter"

Vavoulis though bothered by the

answer to Kings blast was:
