the inhabitants there was already one by that name in their state Grow Exasperated Several other names were chosen by the residents and submitted but always with the same result i nally an exasperated official of the department in refusing the latest choice wrote the city fathers among other things it was mighty pe culiar they could not find a good name for their Whereupon he received th6 following reply on your suggestion we se lect the name And so Pe culiar is on the map ot today There is only one rule tne nam ing of new towns and that is that there shall be but one of the same name in a state

EXTRAVAGANCE compari rmiiiti uvuuvv son of the $62000000 the ederal government spent in 1860 with the $3500000000 it will spend this year certainly does sound terrify? ing to the taxpayer but when one stops 'to figure a moment and to consider some of the factors enter ing into thnt it drains have been made upon country might have shown 1 being with the total of the last year before that terrible conflict left this government a heritage of indebtedness and obligations that have not to this good day been dis Anri the enlightenment afforded by comparative figures would have been enhanced had he made his comparison of them and now with 1865 instead of 1860 for most of 1865 was on the heels of a great war just as 1923 is immedi ately following an even greater and more appalling struggle In 1865 just five years after the year the Senator selected for his com parison the ederal government expended $1152000000 on the army and navy alone or nearly 20 times as much as it naa spent uu all governmental activities five years before Pensions the bulk of them now from the Civil lar will total al S97K000000 this year nearly five times as much as the whole ederal government cost in 1860 The United States Bureau resultant from the world war is costing the United States government this year $465000000 or nearly eight times greater than the 1860 total One third of the to tal to which the Senator pointed as staggering goes this year in inter est on the public debt practically all of it created by the world war That one item is neany tuues greater than the total of the sim ple day of 1860 The War inance Corporation intended to help the producers of this country avert fi nancial catastrophe is costing $60 000 The Department of Agricul ture is costing $154000000 the Navy Department $350000000 the War Department $330000000 The legislative expenses of Con gress alone are costing almost one fourth of the 1860 total while the ederal government is syvuuiug the maintenance of the District of Columbia nearly one half of the total budget of 1860 it is not to be trainsaid that there is governmental extravagance No itizpn gets 100 cents ef ficiency on every dollar spent and the efficiency of the dollar is generally less for there is no doubt that spending the public money is viewed differently in the public mind from the high stand ards of 60 were a less individually Motinn Blit al expenditures could have been il lustrated just as forcibly and a lot CUiliPCXAAdVAl MV tween now and a more recent date nni if a denarture from ancient principles is wholly responsible for the stupendous increase in cost of maintaining the government as it might appear the Senator would have one infer it must be assumed that every other Nation which took part in the world war also nas im parted from its ancient principles for governmental budgets with them have grown in about the same proportion as they have in the United States Governmental extravagance is not to be condoned or defended but increased governmental expen ditures cannot fairly be attributed wholly to extravagance or ure from ancient principles any more than can be increased costs of living and transacting
