Your Government To Cost You Less K With the help of the Budget Bureau, with the cooperation of Congress, with the ah: c* continual prodding from the White House, the United States Government seems At k**. to be in a happy way financially. When the newspaper editors read the message President Harding submitted to Congress along with the budget for the next fiscal year, even ths Democrats promptly sat down and wrote cheerful, happy, and congratulatory editorials. For they learned that this prodigal Government of ours has in three years cut down its spend” ings from a six-billion-dollar to a three-billion-dollar basis; that it is going to.spend half a billion dollars less in the next fiscal year than in the presept; that the expected $600,000,000 deficit for 1923 has already been cut down by half and, since it is only December, may very well be wiped out altogether by the end of the year on June 30; and finally, that the official Budget Bureau estimates for the fiscal year ending in 1924, indicate a substantial surnlus of $180,969,125. ’ You wilt read in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, December 16th, how the reduction in government expenses has been .effected, what activities have been curtailed, and what the probable effects upon the tax-payer may be. Other instructive news-articles in this week’s issue of THE DIGEST are: Misgivings As to Progressive Bloc’s ‘ Wet” and “Dry” Gains and Losse* Intentions When Greek Kills Greek Uncle Sam’s Prosecutor Prosecuted Britain’s Mesopotamian Burden and Christians Ordered Out of Turkey Oil Hidden German Arms .
