Tax Reduction
Nothing hut * permanent increase of government expenditures and ,
permanent increase of taxes can result unless there is a limit placed
upon bureaucracies which the government is building up, emphatic*!- j
ly declared Senator Borah of Idaho, in a statement issued April 2{>.
It needs no argument, he said, to satisfy one that government ex-1
penditurrs are wastefully large and that the ever-growing burden of ,
otaxation is one of the great factors in bringing about our present de-
pression. But thoro is no remedy for these things unless the people j
the voters themselves, place this subject on t-he.ir agenda and call foi
an accounting in no uncertain terms.
