' . . .. , -** In our brilliant dash toward national bankruptcy ?for _ seemingly though we will not reach the goal there are many persons who would head us that way?the counties of the country lead in the race. They are ahead of the states that created them, though some of the villages are running them a dose race in the w0d expenditure handicap. ; Census figures shew that in 1922 state governments owed $1,162,648,000. In 1912 their public debt was only $422,796,000. . In 1912 the debts of the 8,000 counties footed to $371, 628,000. In 1922 the debt had grown to $1,866,636?00& total increase of 268 per cent. The b?isiness man who would aid in causing such an increase in his overhead expenditures would be regarded as a lunatic, yet peouliarty these same ' business men are always ready to vote for public expendi tures without a thought of the consequences. Whenever some public expenditure is suggested the vil lage home-dweller puts on his thinking cap and hesitates, weighing the possible effect upon his pocketbook; but as soon as he learns the burden can be shifted from the village tp the county then be becomes a rooter for improvement He pays the piper, of course, but the tax burden is further removed. If. die cost could be met by the state, then he would not complain if the expenditure were ten times what has been suggested. Thirf peculiarity in human nature is rejected most clearly in the gre*t cities where the flat dwellers do not personally nay taxes for anything. The landlord pays them. He adds the amount of his taxes to his rentals and he usually adds ten per cent, or more for good hck and safety. The*flat dweller pays and he pays through the nose but he doesht realize it In like way the small town home dwel ler pays and pays through the nose whenever he fails to take an interest in local affairs and permits county expendi tures to run wild. Time will come when the public conscience will revolt against the selfish scramble for local improvement at any price bo long as the money can be taken from the general purse. The outrageous omnibus bills that disgrace our national legislation give us an example. When we learn to kick out our Congressman because he has thrust his fist into the.grab-bag to "get his" for his district instead of patting him on the back and approving the cheap graft, we will be better off morally and financially. - Certainly somebody in Wajsh:r*?ion is riding for a Fall. If yon try to create war you are sent to jail. If you try to bring about peace they threaten you with stripes. What is a poor girl to do-these days ? America baa left about $3,600,000,000 invested in a merchant B?rine?most of it. in ship* rotting in the harbors. Presumably by : next year the official Song of the Senate will be Bole Brittanin. Franklin invested $500 in England. It turned into $20,000 after 150 years. To-day rjhey invest nothing and $25,000 comes out of the air. But Franklin dealt with commoners.
