I sap the life blood of the nation and leave her open to despoilers. I take much and give nothing of value in return.

I cause contempt for the law because of my prevalence in government. I weaken and injure mankind, but strangely, it does not vigorously and increasii gly fight me. Now I shonld, and could be destroyed, but I thrive as never before. I am an enemy of civilization. I am waste waste of manpower, man-power, waste of substance, waste of life, waste of time. j From Utah 'Taxpayers Bulletin. |
