THE NEED FOR ECONOMY
Ed Howe's Weekly.
The newspapers might easily sug
ge: and it wou d be no more than
the truth, that taxes are becoming
too h'gh; that public expenditures
I might be reduced. In the aeroplane
investigation it was demonstrated
that mi lions "were squadrered unnec
essarily and foolishly. That money
had t0 be earned by the people; its
wanton waste was an injustice to
them.
And it was w.isted because of the
constant boasts of editors that we an'
the richest nation ;n the world, al
though, with a good many of us,
money comes hard.
