B EVERY TAXPAYER T NOWS HOW EASY IT WOULD BE, IF HE GAVE WAY TO EXTRAVAGANCE TO SPEND EACH YEAR MUCH MORE THAN T E AMOUNT OF HIS WHOLE INCOME. IF STARTED ON THAT COURSE HE WOULD EITHER HAVE y , TO INCREASE HIS INCOME OR CUT OUT THE EXTRAVAGANCE ELSE FINANCIAL RUIN WOULD FOLLOW. i s THE SAME PRINCIPLE APPLIES IN THE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF THE NATION iVND THE STATE. THE MAIN PART ,' . M h ' 0F the INCOME OF THE NATION AND NEARLY ALL OF THE INCOME OF THE STATE IS PAID BY .THE PEOPLE IN il M i TAXES IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER. AND IF EXPENDITURES IN NATION OR STATE ARE EXTRAVAGANT, THE RE- ifcfc , SULT WILL FOLLOW AS SURELY AS NIGHT FOLLOWS THE DAY, TftAT TAXES MUST BE INCREASED TO PROVIDE THE , H I . MONEY FOR THE EXTRAVAGANCE.

And you will remember how Theodore t M i . . Roosevelt was criticised for urging preparedness for war. " ' , v '3 H jV In the business year of the United States beginning. July 1, 1919 and ending June 80, 1920, after the army had been demobolized and ; ,-? H " . if the country wa3 again on a peace footing the Democratic Spenders asked for the enormous sum of $11,101,015,690.00. . ' H k And the same Democratic administration and its heads of department asked for $6,334,312,929.00 for the operating expenses of the '. f ' H national government for the fiscal or business year beginning July 1, 1920, and ending June 30, 1921. Think of it. Over nine times as, ,,.'' H f , v much as for 1912, the last .ear of Republican rule, and yet it is the self same nation and the self same form, of government. What else can - H i ujj the extra cost be but unnecessary expenditures, and wild extravagance? "''-. H ., Kv With such extravagance in National affairs is it any wonder that the National debt is steadily increasing? 'How can you expect any ' "? - H J &? - relief from the burdensome National taxes if you keep the Extravagant Spenders in control? Can you not see that additional taxes in H wi some f own will be levied on the people either by increasing the income tax, even on small incomes now exempt, and perhaps also by a ' H " i heavy tax on every purchase you make for food and clothing or other living expenses? And if you give these same Extravagant Spend- , , ; ' ' m r ei-s THE RIGHT TO POLICE A LARGE PART OF EUEOPE AND ASIA AT,THE EXPENSE OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS, as con- ' H , k tcmplated in the Wilson League of Nations, what could you expect but extremely burdensome taxation? ? fy H r l Big Increase in the Expenditures of Utah for Maintenance of State Government , H -t .- .

' Why did these extravagant Stat6 Spenders take this extra $1,460,807.44 from the taxpayers? A complete shoiing would take too ' ' ' H much space; only a few items can be mentioned as examples. m , Item 1. The Democratic State Administration has 165 more employes than the Republican administration had, and the extra cost is ' "J M ' -' $260,000 per year. Item 2. The, Republican administration of Utah had six automobiles owned by the state; the present Democratic admin- H f , istration has eighty-one automobiles, an increase of seventy-five. .,...,,.,.,, m i Item 3. The Democratic administration appropriated $41,000 to the governor for investigation of state offices and departments on his M ' r " promise that he would turn back to the State Treasury $100 for every dollar expended; result, fund nearly all expended and not a dollar. $ . collected to date. J' m Item 4. The paving of the State Highway has been done by contract and the contractors, of course, directed and controlled their men' v , m ' employed; yet these State Spenders for running the grade line and inspecting the work done, have paid $2.42 extra for every dollar paid' fc N H to the contactors.
