WHY YOU'RE INTERESTED
I wish you would take what is
written here as a personal report ad
dressed directly to you from me about
your business. Ion't think of it or
read it as an article about "politics,"
or remote public alTalrs at Washing
ton. It is not that at all. It Is what
I ask you to think it, a personal
business report to you relating to your '
individual concerns, your pocketbook j
and your welfare. I have no other
interest than to tell you the exact
truth. j
Assume that you have sent me to j
Washington to find out for you what ;
your agents are doing, how they are !
managing your affairs ami spending i
your money. I call them your agents
for that is all thoy are the President,
the members of the cabinet, the ,
senators and all the members of the
house of representatives. You hire j
them, you pay them, and you can fire
them.
You may think of them In deference
and awe as a group of eminent states
men, or you may call them In flippancy
and too hasty contempt "a lot of
politicians." But whatever you call
them, they are your hired men. They
attend to your collective business,
which Is called the public business.
Query: Are they doing It efficiently
and with n single-minded devotion to
your interests?
Perhaps the largest Item In the high
cost of living Is the high cost of
government. And far and away the
largest item in the high cost of govern
ment Is the high cost of armament;
preparation for war. About !X) per
cent of all government revenues, and
that means the money taken from you
as taxes, goes to pay for wars, past,
present and future.
P.efore I have concluded this series
of articles I expect to show you con
clusively that the impelling motive
that induced President Harding to call
the present conference in Washington
to consider limitation of armaments
was financial. The pressing need, of I
considering a proposal for a reduc
tion or limitation by agreement of war
expenditure was not made entirely on
the ground of morality or righteous
ness, but as a plan for cutting down
the operating expenses of the govern
ment. If the United States government
were an Individual we would say that
It was broke, for Its expenses exceed
Its Income.
Your Interest Is simply this: that
whatever decision Is made you will
have to pay the hill. If today we
didn't have these army and navy ex
penses you would have to pay In taxes
less than $1 ,000.000,000 a year Instead
of $0,000,000,000. That means we
would have about $4,000,000,000 more
a year to spend on our private needs
and pleasures. I frankly confess that
I would enjoy having four-fifths of my
taxes knocked off. Wouldn't you?
Secretary Weeks of the War de
partment gave public warning a lilt le
while ago that the government woidd.
require of us about .$17,000,000 in
the next thirty months to meet cur-
rent expenses and other obligations,
j Persons who have given close study to
that possibility sa.v that the need w
be nearer S'JO.Oi 10,000, than $17,000,-
(inn. The great hulk of that is for
i pat and prospective war expenditures.
! 1'or this, you and cnngresN ami the
Kxecutive departments at Washington
are responsible. You more than any
body else, for it Is your money that Is
being spent and you can stop it. In Its
simplest terms the procedure Is th's:
You earn the money, congress takes It
away from you In the form of taxes,
and then congress and tlx? Kxecutive
department;? spend It.
A great part of It is wasted. This Is
established, conceded, confessed, and
acknowledged by congress, which
authorizes the expenditures, and by
the executive oflicers of the govern
ment, who do the actual spending. It
is your money that you have earned
In your hus'ness, on your farm, or by
the labor of your hands, that Is being
expended and wasted at Washington.
Kvery cent that Is extravagantly or
needlessly expended by the govern
ment you could have In your pocket to
meet the Increased cost of food, lodg
ing and clothing, doctors' bills and
amusements, or to put away and save
against a rainy day, If you only de
manded determinedly and unitedly
that governmental extravagance should
cease.
I can tell you some of the conditions
of governmental spending and how
your money Is chucked about, and I
can tell you liow you can stop it. The
power Is yours, and until you exer
cise It waste and extravagance will
not atop.
