EASY TO SPEND THE OTHER
FELLOW’S MONEY.
The National Industrial Confer
ence , Board asserts that govern
mental expenditures, national,
state and local in 1923 were $10,
045,000,000 or 15 per cent of the
total national income of that
year.
4*
This total represents $91 from
every man, woman and child in
the United States, a sum three
and a half times greater than in
1902, and more than 5 times
greater than in 1800.
An idea of the magnitude of
these figures may be gleaned
from the fact that the combined
disbursements of all governmen
tal units, in this country in 1923
was equivalent to 93 per cent of
4he - 4otal amount-paid-
1921 by all
manufacturing plants in the coun
try covered by the census of
manufacturers.
NO ONE CAN PLACE A LIMIT
Ezra Meeker, who blazed the
Oregon Trail in 1852, driving an
ok team from the middle west
to the Pacific coast, has just
completed the return trip by air
When ,•
he went west there were
no stage coaches aiong the route;
no railroad penetrating the for
ests and deserts.
The airplane and the automo
bile had only been dreamed of.
And perhaps these more modern
means of transport would never
have been devised and perfected
had not such men as Ezra Meek
er, pathfinder and pioneer, em
ployed to the fullest capacity the
thing at hand, emphasized the
need of a better method.
s Ezra Meeker retraces, in a day
or two, the route which requir
ed months to cover .70 years ago.
Men talk into a simple device
and are heard hair way around
the world.
Sea?^ are crossed and recrossed
in comfort and comparative safe
ty.
And even greater and better
things have been accomplished
by contemporaneous thoughtful
activity.
As men have been emancipated
from tedious plodding, they have
gained a clearer concept of their
freedom. The manner of this de
liverance has not been accidental
or merely evolutionary. Thought,
rightly directed, has been the
agency.
This being true, no one can
place a limit beyond which such
development and growth shall not
go.
