REPUBLICANS’ EXTRAVAGANCE

Government Cost More Thao Doubled Under Roosevelt. DEMOCRATS' GREAT RECORD. Startling Figures Which Show That ths Cost of Our National Existence and the High Cost of Living Must Be Reduced. , 1 Under a prof»er dlowuward revision of the Republican tariff schedules the people of the United States would save $2,000,000,000 each year, or over SIOO per family on manufactured goods alone.

President Taft’s vetoes of the wool tariff bill and the steel tariff measure passed by a Democratic house COSTTHE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES ABOUT $050,000,000 PER ANNUM The cost of conducting the federal government MOKE THAN DOUBLED between the close of President Cleve land's second administration (Demo era tic i and the beginning of President Roosevelt's second administration (Republican).

As the DIRECT’ RESULT OF HIGH REPUBLICAN TARIFF SCHED ULES the people of the United States pay a tax FROM NINE TO SEVEN-TY-EIGHT PER CENT on food and ordinary household articles used in the home by every family, rich and poor. The total cost of running the federal government in IS6O was $55,000,000.

The amount appropriated at a single session of the Sixty-first congress for the fiscal year 1911— $1,027,133,446.44 was more than double the amonnt--$954.496.055.13—appr0pria ted for the fiscal years 1597 and 189 S kat both sessions of the Fifty-fourth congress, the last congress of the second Cleveland administration

Only eight years elapsed between the close of the second administration of President Cleveland and the beginning of the second administration of Presi dent Roosevelt and yet the amount appropriated during the four years of the latter than double that appropriated in the four years Mr. Cleveland was at the helm—viz. $1,871,509,857.47.

For 1910. the last fiscal year provided for in congress under President Roose velt, the highwater mark in appropria ti0n5—51.044.401.857.12— was reached. President Taft’s estimate to the last session of congress for government support for the fiscal year was $1,040.645.026.55

In other words, governmental expenses for the FOUR YEARS of President Cleveland’s administration (Dem ocratic) were only $830,861,551.92 more than President Taft’s (Republican) estimate of the amount necessary to cover the expenses of ONE YEAR of Presi dent Taft’s administration

Congressman John J Fitzgerald ot New York, a Democrat and chairman of the committee on appropriations, in addressing the house Aug. 20, 1912, on the subject of appropriations said. “Thoughtful men have watched with alarm the rapid Increase in the cost of government in the United States.” He further said that two causes seem responsible for many present evils: “One, the UNFAIR AND UNJUST S\STEM OF TAXATION by which an undue share of income by those whose circumstances in life are not considered more than reasonably com sortable is taken through our cdstoms laws for the support of our govern ment; the other, the difficulty or inabil ity to readjust our system of taxation and to remove many taxes from the necessaries of life, so long as the GOV ERNMENT IS EXTRAVAGANTLY CONDUCTED, or the instrumentalities provided for the conduct of the public sen ice are either inefficient or are not utilized so as to render the most effective and comprehensive re suits.” Mr. Fitzgerald then called attention to the fact that the Democratic party pledged itself if intrusted with power to do two things—REDUCE TARIFF DUTIES AND RETRENCH PUB LIC EXPENDITURES by eliminating waste in administration and the aboli tion of useless, inexcusable offices.

The Republicans .talk about tariff revision, and yet when a Democratic house in fulfilling Democratic promises to the people reduced the tariff, a Re publican president vetoed the measure. “By their works shall ye know them.*

Democrats In every state of the Union should organize and prepare for polling a record breaking vote Nov 5. Be it remembered that no matter how certain victory seems, overconfi denee Ist., always dangerous.
