'WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 14, 1920 A “NEW DAY” THAT WILL BE “PAY DAY.” “What are you going to tell us about tonight, Uncle Ted?” asked Jack after he had been teasing his W¥ncle for a good half hour for a story. A “Well, Jack,” answered Uncle Ted, “I don’t believe I could tell you a better story than to tell you a thing about how the Wilson adminis- tration at Washington has thrown’ the money of the country, which real- Jy means the people’'s money, around like s0o much water. First of all, so that you will better understand what 1am going to tell you, you must real- ise that the only way a country can succeed is by having its people con- tented. That is, you and I and ev- ery one of the more than 100,000,000 people in the United States must be satisfled with at least the most of the things that are being done by the man who runs the government as our representatives, Unless most of the people of any country are happy and satisfled something happens to the country. Revolutions start; wars start and everything that goes with them, when things are run in such a way as to make most of the people unhappy and dissatisfied. You can’t force or make people content. ‘“‘But to get to the real story. Peo- ple are just beginning to realize what taxes mean in this country. The in- .come tax has made everyone stop and realize.that each and every one of us .owes something to our country.” “What is the income tax?” asked Ruth, “‘Ask your dad,” answered Uncle TFed. ‘‘He paid one this year all right. It means paying a certain amount of money to the United States according to the amount of money you make. Our taxes are mow very high. We pay taxes on nearly everything. course, the heavy expenses of the war account for @ lot of it but there wonld not be near so much to pay if there had not been so much money wasted by the Wilson administration im Washington. The way the public money is spent at Washington is ter- rible. Not long ago Senator James W. Wadsworth, Jr.,, from the state of New York made a speech in New York city in which he showed how much more money the Democrats with President Wilson at the head of the government have spent than was spent before by the Republicans. In order to understand what he said you must know this: the various branches of the government in Washington, like the War depart- ment, the Navy department, etc., tell congress how much money they want. These amounts are called ap- propriations. Since the Republicans got control of congress, they, of course, have cut down these appro- priations so that the Democrats can’t spend as much as they could when ‘they controlled not only the presi- Jdent and the departments but con- gress, too.- But Senator Wadsworth showed that during the first three vears of the Wilson administration, im 1914, 1915 and 1916, the appro- priations amounted to more than $1,000,000,000 each year. And that emount is $100,000,000 more than the highest appropriation made when William Howard Taft, a republican, was president. After that we enter- ed the war and in 1916-1917, $3,- 000,000,000 was authorized to be In1917-1918 nearly $22,000,- “it you must carry that riGicue Tous poodle, get a shawl strap.” A Creed.

By ‘the 000,000 and in 1918-1919, $27,000,- 000,000. Senator Wadsworth says, ‘At the close of the war the congress directed the turning back into the treasury of a portion of these vast sums remaining unspent. time the last contract is' settled and the last bill paid, we will find the war has cost us at least $36,000,- 000,000, and I would not be surpris- ed if it approximated $40,000,000,- 000.” “Aren’t there a lot more clerks in Washington than are needed?” ask- ed Jack. “Well, 1 won’t say that, but I will show you by real figures I have here the truth about it. were 33,000 government employes in the District of Columbia. Now, seven- teen - months after the armistice, there are a little more than 100,000 of them on the government pay roll. In 1916, in Washington and other there were 400-00 - people working and being paid by the gov- Right now there are about 650,000. People will say, ‘But it was necessary to have many more to do the work piled up by the war,” That is very true, kiddies, but remember ‘We are really at peace and yet the Wilson people who are running the government keep on pouring out the people’s money and so far as I can see, they don’t care how it is to be paid or when.” In. 1916 there Do these people who work for the government all do different things? ‘asked Ruth. “No, they do mot. There is much duplication of work. The adminis- tration hangs on to the powers given it during the war and if it were not for the fact that this duplication of work, and the hundreds of needless employees being carried on the pay rolls, meaning draining the United States treasury almost dry, it would be funny. The president doesn’t try to check this wasting of money and neither do any of those who are sup- posed to advise kim. He cares more about the ‘dawning of a new day’ as he said when talking at the world club, than he does of the people’s dollars. As Senator Wadsworth has said, ‘A new day’ is coming. Indeed its dawn is already upon us and it will be a long, long day with little romance in it. It will be “pay day,’ In other words, children, instead of the ‘new day’ President Wilson dreams about while our money is be- ing thrown away, there will be a ‘pay day’ when we will have to pay for the waste which President Wil- son’s administration is responsible.” “Where will the money come from to pay for the waste?” asked Jack. “That is just what I am trying to It will come right out of the pockets of the people of this country in the form of taxes. raise $4,000,000,000 this year thru the natural forms of revenue we will do well and that will not pay the debts we are asked to assume. looks like we would have a deficit of $3,000,000,000, and if we don’t stop this awful waste we will have anoth- er next year. . “I hope we _can cut down the waste so that we won’t have what you call a ‘deficit’ Uncle Ted,” said Jack. “We must, Jack.
