' MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD ' Secretary Mellon of the treasury, In a letter to Representative Fordney, chairman of tho committee on ways and means of the houBe of representa tive, says: "Ordinary expenditures Ifor the first three quarters of the fis cal year, 1021, havo been 13,783,771,' 000.74, or at the rate of about $3,000,-. 000,000 for the year. . . According to the latest estimates of the spending departments. . . ordinary expend U turcs during the fiscal year, 1022, In eluding Interest on tho public debt, I will bo over $4,000,000,000. "Tho nation cannot continue to spend at this shocking rate. As the President said In his message, tho bur den Is unbearable, and there are two avenues of relief, 'One Is resistance In appropriation and tho other Is the utmost economy In administration.'" ' It. O. Lefllngwell, formerly an assis tant secretary of tho treasury, whom I haS-o quoted previously In these ar ticles, and who Is still deeply and ac dvoly Interested In securing retrench ment In national expenditures, com menting on this utterance of Sccretnry Mellon, says: "Why should thero bo retrenchment In public expenditure? Why does tho secretory of tho treas ury speak of current nnd estimated ex penditures as shocking? What Is tho evil that we are discussing and what Is Its effect? "Government expenditures must be met from taxes. To tho extent thnt they are met promptly from taxes and from honest taxes directly laid upon I the Incomes of tho people, and In pro- portion to those Incomes, exaggeration of the evil of government expenditure ,, H Is nvoldcd. Government expenditure ( takes the money of all tho pooplo for tho supposed benefit of a portion of tho people, honestly or dishonestly, equally or unequally, nvowedly by di rect taxation, or surreptitiously by tho Indirect taxation which results from Inflation of currency nnd credit and of the public debt. : , "Government expenditure takes tho fruits of tho earth and the labor of tho people nnd diverts them from the productlvo nnd reproductive enter prises of men, from tho nnturnl enjoy ment of tho men, who by their pru dence, foresight and effort, created the wealth and mndo It nvnllable, to the i sometimes benevolent nnd sometimes - ' belligerent, but almost always cconom- I Icnlly wasteful, purposes of govern ment. "Government exploits all of us for tho benefit, or supposed benefit, of some -of us. Yielding to the vague aspirations of men for n better world or a better distribution of the good things of this earth, government Im poses upon all of us ever-Increasing burdens In the effort to benefit vocif erous nnd organized minorities. "Koch of the executive departments Is concerned to Improve Its service and to discover new and useful fields of service. The entire organization of tho army, of the navy, of each of tho departments, Independent olllces nnd agencies of tho government, Is tie " ' voted to an Important task. Its par ticular function seems" of vital use fulness, even necessity. Experts In ench aro nllveto Its defects nnd to tho opportunities for usefulness which have not been availed of. -. "The secretary, or other head of 1 tho department, drawn from private life, perhaps wholly Ignorant at the outset of the naturo nnd extent of Its problems, promptly becomes the advo cate of the policies and demands of his permunent assistants and burenu chiefs. If ho does not become such advocate, he mny break down tho mornle of his organization nnd possibly lose the contldlHico of his personnel. 11 "Behind It all Is tho pressuro of or- i gnnlzed Interests In tho constituencies, which nre the beneflclnrles of specific expenditures, operating upon polltl ! ji. clans, executive departments, senators i ' 0,id congressmen. Tho strident volco I ,j of greed Is heard In the market place )' nnd In legislative halls; tho volco of 1 "jp the people Is barely audible. t Wk "Tho fact that each project Is con- )! sldercd separately, without reference, IB cither la executive departments or M congress, to w ii and means of limine- i Mjl lnjr it, prevents concentration of popu- i '"Jl Inr opinion on thu awful totnl.
