MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD
Secretary Mellon of the treasury. Id
a letter to Representative Fordney,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means of the house of representa-
tlves, savs: "Ordinary expenditures
for the first three quarters of the fis
cal year, 1921, have been $3,783,771,-
990.74, or at the rate of about $5,000,'
000,000 for the year. . . According
to the latest estimates of the spending
departments. . . ordinary expend!'
tures during the fiscal year, 1922, In
eluding interest on the public debt.
will be over $4,000,000,000.
"The nation cannot continue to
spend at this shocking rate. As the
President said in his message, the bur
den Is unbearable, and there are two
avenues of relief, 'One is resistance
in appropriation and the other is the
; utmost economy in administration.
' R. C. LeffingVell, formerly an assis
tant secretary of the treasury, whom
I have quoted previously in these ar
J tides, and who is still deeply and ac
tlvely interested In securing retrench'
ment in national expenditures, com
menting on this utterance of Secretary
Mellon, says: "Why should there be
retrenchment In public expenditure?
Why does the secretary of the treas
ury speak of current and estimated ex
penditures as shocking? What is the
evil that we are discussing and what
Is its effect?
"Government expenditures must be
met from taxes. To the extent that
they are met promptly from taxes and
from honest taxes directly laid upon
the Incomes of the people, and in pro
portion to those Incomes, exaggeration
of the evil of government expenditure
Is avoided. Government expenditure
takes the money of nil the people for
the supposed benefit of a portion of
the people, honestly or dishonestly,
equally or unequally, avowedly by di
rect taxation, or surreptitiously uy me
Indirect taxation which results from
inflation of currency and credit and
of the public debt.
"Government expenditure takes the
fruits of the earth and the labor of
the people and diverts them from the
productive and reproductive enter-,
prises of men, from the natural enjoy-j
ment of the men, who by their pru
dence, foresight and effort, created the
wealth and made It available, to the
sometimes benevolent and sometimes
belligerent, but almost always econonv,
Ically wasteful, purposes of govern-:
ment.
"Government exploits all of us for
the benefit, or supposed benefit, of
some of us. Yielding to the vague
aspirations of men for a better world
or a better distribution of the good,
things of this earth, government im
poses upon all of us ever-Increasing
burdens In the effort to benefit vocif
erous and organized minorities. I
"Each of the executive departments
Is concerned to Improve Its service
and to discover new and useful fields
of service. The entire organization
of . the army, of the navy, of each of
the departments, Independent offices
and agencies of the government, Is de
voted to an Important task. Its par
ticular function seems of vital use
fulness, even necessity. Experts In
each are alive to its defects and to
the opportunities for usefulness which
hove not been availed of.
"The secretary, or other head of
the department, drawn from private
life, perhaps wholly ignorant at the
outset of the nature and extent of Its
problems, promptly becomes the advo
cate yf the policies and demands of
his permanent assistants and bureau
chief.. It he does not become sncli
advocate, he may break down the
morale of his organisation and possibly
lose the confidence of his personnel.
"t'Jilnrl It all Js the pressure of or
ganized interest In the constituencies,
which are the beneficiaries of specific
expenditures, operating upon politi
cians, executive departments, senators
and congressmen. The strident voice
of greed Is heard In the market place
find In legislative halls; the voice ot
the people Is barely audible.
"The fact that each project Is con
sidered separately, without reference,
either In executive departments or
congress, to ways and means of financ
ing It, prevents concentration of popu
lar opinion on the awful total. All
agree that there must be economy, but
as each item Is presented all seeming
ly agree that that Is not the proper
field for e'uiiiiiny. There must be econ
omy, hut there must he a merchant
marine, whatever the cost. There must
he economy, hut the government must
.uy high uages to milrond employees
und furnish transportation on the rail
roads at les than cost. There must
he economy, hut the World war sol
diers must liMve their bonus. There
must tie economy, but Ovll war pen
sions must be Increased. There must
he economy, hut we must prepare for
war, regardless of expense."
You, know this is true. The new
budget law will help very much this
condition, but unless you are Interest
ed, continuously, actively, openly In
tereated, your money will not be saved.
