The cost of government has increased enormously since 1914. It was $120.00 per capita in 1933, and the national income was _ not more tham $320 per capita as in 1932 —-in other words, the cost of ernment was one third the natioal in, come. The word Government as used in; this article is intended to méan all) government——Federal, State, and local, ‘ond the intention has not been Our government officials are con-! greed of Big Business, the Power Trust, Wall St., for all our troubles, when they are responsible for the cost of government being four times per capita what it was before the war. Somebody has to supply the fifteen billion dollars for our politicians to squander every year. Remember the definition of money. Fifteen billion dollars means a lot of human. effort-—it means every worker in the nation City, Grass Valley, lands under irri-' gation and various mining corporations. The price paid was $350,000. cash. paid one third of his wages or sal. ary for government, worked four months out of the year fer governiment. At $5.00 a day it would pay gave . an army of a million men for: three ‘thousand days. It would build forty ‘Panama Canals. They (our officials) fare highly indignant if representatives of business: try to fulfill their duty-to their stockholders by opposing some new restraint or imposition of additional taxes, while they willingly yield to the demands of a well . organized body of voters and hand ‘out a billion dollars of the peoples money. Perhaps the: government has . : wasted as much of the nations wealth as Wall Street. FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS . . The word government as used in this. article is intended to mean all government, Federal, State, and local, and the intention has not been to criticize—merely to state facts and draw conclusions., Policies that under ordinary circumstances would be in; advisable may be justified under the present extraordinary conditions if they are agi to be temporary. But there is no nd has been for a ‘long time a tendency for government ito find fault with business methods, (especially “‘big business,’’ ‘suade the people that government . ownership is the enemy. There is eee has been a vast amount of pro. poganda emanating from politicians lana government officials discredit‘ing private enterprise, constantly in. Sinuating that -all profits made in lprivate business is Httle better than legal robbery of the workers, and that if the government were running the business, that ‘profit would go to the people. “Government ownership’’ is a misnomer, because the money to buy or build the properties ‘comes from the savings of the people, ususlly from the sale of stocks or bonds, whether it is a public or private property.

The cost of government has increased enormously since 1914. It was $120.00 per capita in 1933, and the national income was _ not more tham $320 per capita as in 1932 —-in other words, the cost of ernment was one third the natioal in, come. The word Government as used in; this article is intended to méan all) government——Federal, State, and local, ‘ond the intention has not been Our government officials are con-! greed of Big Business, the Power Trust, Wall St., for all our troubles, when they are responsible for the cost of government being four times per capita what it was before the war. Somebody has to supply the fifteen billion dollars for our politicians to squander every year. Remember the definition of money. Fifteen billion dollars means a lot of human. effort-—it means every worker in the nation City, Grass Valley, lands under irri-' gation and various mining corporations.

The word government as used in this. article is intended to mean all government, Federal, State, and local, and the intention has not been to criticize—merely to state facts and draw conclusions., Policies that under ordinary circumstances would be in; advisable may be justified under the present extraordinary conditions if they are agi to be temporary. But there is no nd has been for a ‘long time a tendency for government ito find fault with business methods, (especially “‘big business,’’ ‘suade the people that government . ownership is the enemy. There is eee has been a vast amount of pro. poganda emanating from politicians lana government officials discredit‘ing private enterprise, constantly in. Sinuating that -all profits made in lprivate business is Httle better than legal robbery of the workers, and that if the government were running the business, that ‘profit would go to the people. “Government ownership’’ is a misnomer, because the money to buy or build the properties ‘comes from the savings of the people, ususlly from the sale of stocks or bonds, whether it is a public or private property.
