To the Editor: The president says In his Lincoln day address, "The war cost more than $40,000,000,000, is already halt paid, and our 'debt payins program is at the rate of $500,000,000, each. (I presume this mean year,) and in spite of this the next fiscal year had an estimated surplus revenue of over $300,000,000." Nd wonder there is hard times and a general collapse throughout the agri cultural districts of our country. Im agine it, $20,000,000,000 of our debt paid oft in five years and $800,000,000 being raised over and above tho actual expenses of conducting the government this year and coming years. Follow ing this statement the president says Great Hritian has arranged to, pay off her war debt to us over a period of 62 years. Would It not be well to unload some of this grevious burden from the shoulders of the groat agricultural dis tricts of our country and extend the period of paying up our big war debt the same as Eugland is now doing and we did with our Civil war debt.
