From 1R82 to 1892 the ordinary ex penses of the federal government In creased at the rate of about 3 per cent a year. In the succeeding decennial period they Increased about 1 per cent a year. Under tho presidency of Mr. Roosevelt the annual lncrenae was nlmoat 6 per cent. Mr. Taft has not only »topped this annual increase, which had so long seemed Inevitable, but has actually brought about n de crease. Under Mr. Roosevelt th-- or dinary annual expenses of the gov ernment grew from about $171,000,000 to $002,000,000, an Increase of $191,- 000,000 In seven years. Mr. Taft has reduced them from $002,000,000 to $664,000,000. We talk a lot about economy in pub lic affairs. Isn’t It worth whll- lo stop a moment and give credit to a president who has actually done what we have all been saying ought to be done? What Happened.
