COX IS A REAL ECONOMIST

Representative William E. Cox. dean of the Indiana membets of the lower house of congress at Washington, has long been known as a sincere economist in governmental affairs, and struck a responsive chord when he made the following remark recently: “I think the real issue before nation and the states afld this particularly applies to the state of Indiana, is that the taxpayers must pay all the bills and that they have a right to exact that not a dollar of taxes be squandered for useless purposes. This principle should be applied wherever possible in the state and nation and should be vigorously applied without regard to politics. The abolishment of all useless positions and curtailment of all needless expense is the direct 'and short route to efficient enoeomy."
