Senator Thomas is ; s member of th senate finance com;raittee on finance. ; "The war leaves us a legacy of a ; stupendous debt." declared Senator ; Thomas. "It will reach, if it does not ; exceed, $35,000,000,000, or twice as n.'Uch as tho combined debt si tae'al- ' tied nations, including Russia, hen I tho war began.- The -annual Interest .pon this stupendous sun will be ft, 400,000.000; nearly, twice the net total cf the nation's annual pre-war expenditure. Thia means a vastly Increased late and radius of taxation. The people must bear the burden: for Germany cannot make indemnity. They will bear It willingly, if economy In public administration and the application of every dollar to the public needs shall become the policy of the government They will not and should not be content If the gross extravagances of the post continue. "In 1910. Senator Aldrlch declared that ordinary efficiency In public administration would annually save the people 1300,000.000. It would now save twice that sum. If the taxpayers of America will unite In demanding a radical revision of our public service a consolidation of duplicating bureaus, rnd the institution of the budget system in appropriations, it will be done. If they will also rigidly supervise publlo expenditures, taxation can be lurgely reduced. If they fail to do this, our appropriations will keep increasing, for every demand made upon Ihe Treasury Is complied with when 1 olltlcal or organized force is behind It, and everything in these days is organized except the man who pays the taxes."

ELGIN, ILLINOIS and HAMPDEN WRIST WATCHES for LADIES. The supply of American Bracelet Watches is very limited and most firms who have not had a large surplus stock of American Watches have been forced to stock up with Swiss Watches. American made watches are for Americans. Make up your mind to buy an American made watch, do not buy a Swiss watch, which you are told is just as good. Buy American made watch because you are buying a watch you are more or less familiar with. More than likely there have been Elgin or Waltham Watches carried in your family for years. Buy the make of a watch you know something about. Resolve to buy an Elgin or Waltham or Hamilton or Illinois and insist upon having the name of the manufacturer on the dial as this Is your protection against being imposed upon. There are quite a number of people carrying Swiss watches (to their sorrow) but who do not know but what they have an American made watch Just simply because they did not insist upon having the name of the factory on the dial. The reason why some stores push the sale of Swiss Watches is because there is more profit made in selling Swiss. Watches, as the average customer knows nothing whatever about Swiss Watches, they are sometimes misled by the salesman.
