Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 February 1914 — Economic Waste. [ARTICLE]

Economic Waste.

Economic waste applies to car roofs as well as to the finances of the government. There is no difference except in the amounts involved. Economic waste as relating to the car roof implies a loss which affects more than just the road which purchases and becomes the owner of. such roofs. While naturally an individual or a corporation should avoid waste as a matter of self-protecflon, ft should also avoid economic waste which has its effect on every part of the body politic. Possibly-the fact is sometimes overlooked that these things which affect the country at large affect each individual in* the country as well.
