This year it will lose about $500 millions. This’s more than tl f 'of the whole government 50 years ago. If you /’( an n vjc nan you saw money thrown around in war- 'ime just as 1 lid.

We pay taxes, ^e’d better have a good look at our goveiiiment before it gets too big for us to understand and too costly for us: we will work for it.

We pay income taxes which we can nd other taxes whieh we can’t see:—60 per cent on cigarettes per cent on .such things as canieras. 20 per cent on light bulbs, t cs. luggage and so forth; 15 per cent on travel and telephone cate-.

Weddings We carry a log load of deht-.--f7,00() per average family. This isn’t ])je in the sky. It is my promise to pay—and yours—as real as any grocery hill. We pay i.iterest. at the rate of $1,50 per family per year, on that d ht. Let us iook facts in the eye: The purchasing power of your dollar and the living standards of your family are undermined by useless federal expenditures. Aonr dollar is worth only half what it was ten years ago. and taxes are a major reason. At the present pace it may soon he woith Je.-^.-- than that. What to doyatmnt it? In the last analysis it’s your government! Its ajJions are your actions. You have a vote in its rnanagement—not once every four years, once every two years, nor once a year, hut once a day. You can express yourself in favor of “better government at a better price.’* Rut you must, first of all. understand the problem. In the next aitjcic in this series I’d like to tell you more about the necessity for government reorganization. Meanwhile let’s remember what Air. Hoover said on his birthday: “If the people are to run the government, il is the ])eoj)le who must think.” Aliss Barbara Jea?i Davi? daughter of Mrs. Frank E.
