SAYS BORAR, WITH HIGHER TAXES AnEAD oe) eee Public Fooled by Sham Economies in Washing- ton—A Crisis in Public Extravagance and Oppressive Taxation—Industry Discouraged and Labor -Discharged—Taxpayers Should Organize to Stop Drain on Treasury By U. S. Senator William E. Borah. (Written Exclusively for The Evening World.) The beginning of each fiscal year is the open season for party hypocrisy in the matter of Governmental expenditures. In this mid- summer season each year the party which happens to be in power makes a report through the heads of the appronriate committees of the appropriations and expenditures. The .ountry is thereby advised how expenditures have been cut and taxes are befng lowered. It has become so ludicrous a perform- ance that, like the Romaoracles. they do not look at one another, while the deliverané® is be; made. ‘ This custom has prevailed re- gardless of which party is in pow- er for many years. It is thought desirable that at the end of each year the voters be advised how the party in power has practised econ- omy and how great have been the savings. Nothwithstanding that these re- ports universally show a curtail- ing of Governmental expenditures and reduction of taxes, if you care to look over a period of the last twenty-five years, in peace or in war, under a Republican or Dem- ocratic Administration, the ex- penditures of the Qovernment have increased at a startling rate and taxes have become higher in- stead of lower. WHILE CUTS ARE MADE EACH YEAR SHOWS INCREASE While the voter is advised each year that great cuts have been made, yet, nevertheless, when one year is taken with another there is a constant increase in expenditures and in taxes That condition has continued until we have reached a crisis in the matter of public extravagance and oppressive taxation. Regardless of the party in power, the shameless waste of public money grows apace. Economy in public expenditures is no longer anything more than a superstition, The annual report has been made this year. It discloses what appears to be a substantial step in the direction of economy and the curtailing of Governmental expenditures. There seems to be a differ- ence of view as to the exact figures, but let us accept the most promis- ing figures. Nothing is said in this report about the fact that there is now pending in the Congress—already passed by one of the branches of the Congress—bills which would not only offset in the way of expenditdres the amount saved, but would offset it not only thousands but millions of times. The amount which we have curtailed expenditures this year would be a mere bagatelle compared with the increase of Governmental obligations ‘aud burdens should these measures be passed, Taney are on the pro- gramme. They are supposed to be ready for passage, and both the political parties represented in Congress are trampling upon each other to get an opportunity to vote for them. If these measures are passed, as it is promised they shall be, they would make the professed savings of this year of no consequence what- ever. This !s a way in which, while a snowing is made at a particular period of the year, yet when you take one year wita another, the obliga- tions of the Government continue to increase and the taxes continue to a] cer WILLIAM £ BORAH O©vnorewoew € unociwola WY grow heavier. CLAIM OF ECONOMY A SHAM AND A FRAUD. In 1916, the year before we entered the war, but the year in which we started the large naval building programme, our budget was about $1,115,- 004,104. Four years after the war our budget 1s about $3,500,000,000, wita an estimated deficit of from $500,000,000 to $750,000,000. It is now sero sly put forth to the country that we are reducing expenditures, although we know @ part of the programme now arranged for {s to add to this budget of about $4,000,000,000 a $4,000,000,000 indebtedness of a permanent nature, Such things make the clatm of economy a sham and a fraud, And I ven- ‘ “Continued on Fourth Page,), NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 22, IT'S VOLO WELCOME PRESIDENT GALLS SENATORS DEATH AT HANDS OF MAGISTRATE, This Is Thug’s Answer to Oberwager’s Regret That One of Band Was Not Shot.
