The high cost of government in city, county, state and nation | is becoming appalling and amounts to $2 per day for the average family. The cost of running the gov- ernment is now more than $18,- 000,000 a day. This estimate is based on the known cost of $5,028,176,000 for the first nine months of the fiscal year, which means an annual rate of at least $6,750,000,000 or more than six | times what used to be consider- | ed an extravagant living rate for Uncle Samuel before the war. | The people know the facts in‘ regard to tax matters and every individual and industry feels the burden.
