Show WHY NOT BE FRANK? 'A fat treasury is no sign of sound statesmanship; states-manship; if so, the present national administration administra-tion is a flat failure." This is from the Houston Post. "Why qualify the assertion? Just leave off the "if so" and state the bald truth that "the present national administration is a flat failure." Most people are inclined to regard a treasury surplus as evidence of good administration. Most people are inclined to think that an administration administra-tion that can pay as it goes, that does not have to resort to petty direct and vexatious taxation, Is a success. Most people in this country have be come accustomed to that kind of an administration administra-tion throughout the long periods of Republican control of the government. Most people have come to understand that "a fat treasury" never occurs under a Democratic administration. Most people associate a lean treasury with Democratic policies. So why not be frank about it? |
