Excerpts From Recent
Utterances Made in
the Halls of Congress
Senator Key Pitt mao (Nev.), speak
ing of adjusted comp, nsation for vet,
eratis of world war:
“Why should this country, the rich
est on earth, the country that made
millions during the war, not the Gov
ernment, but the people of the country,
be unable to stand the taxation neces
sarA to looK after their own soldiers,
when poor little Belgium, which was
devastated day after day, almost wiped
off ,the face of the earth, has been able
to give her soldiers as much as we are
asking today for our soldiers? Why is
it impossible for rich America, the
greatest, and most powerful country in
the world, to take care of her soldiers
while France, who has accumulated a
■debt in the war equal to the taxable
property of that, whole country, amply
provides for her soldiers? Why is it
that Great Britain and Italy, who not
only have suffered four times as much
as we have in debt, but have lost all of
their young manhood in the war, are
able to pay their soldiers while we can
not pay our soldiers? Whv is it?
•“There is only one answer to that
question —because the grefcd for gold is
blocking us in doing our duty toward
the soldiers who fought our war. We
all know that. Look at France, look
at Belgium, look at England, look at
Italv. What are their conditions by
comparison with this country Thee
look at, Canada and-. Australia. They
have taken care of-their soldiers. Let
me say in passing that none of those
countries waited two and a half years
to take care of their soldiers. They
took care of them immediately after
tbeT came from the battle front, and
here we have been waiting two and a
half years and longer to grant our sol
dier boye anything.
“And even now there is a supreme
effttrt being made to delay indefinitely
any action Wit shall appear impossible
to completely defeat the bill. All of
us know that. When it became appar
ent that the great majority of this body
reQogBiseci the justice that we must do
to our soldiers then the opponents of
this bill went higher up; they even
went right to the top of the adminis
tration to bring its power to bear to
defeat the bill.”
Senator Myers (Mont.), on same sub
ject:
“One person of every 68 persons old
enough to earn a living is working for
the United States Government. This
does not include tUe Army or Navy.
July 31, 1920, there were in the employ
of the Federal Government and under
the civil service 691,11(5 people. This
is 1 of every 15" of the entire popula
tion. The working population of the
United States is about 47,000,000. One
of every 68 of them is on the payroll of
the Federal Governmont, not counting
the Army or Navy. Each man, woman
and child of the United States cootrib
utes oyer $03 per annum to the support
of the Federal Government, This is
$260 per family. The average income
of the American family is about $700
per annum, of which $260 goes to the
support of the Federal Government,
The cost to this country of the world
war was $24,010,000,000, not including
loans to foreign countries. Including
loans to foreign countries, the cost of
the world war to this country was $33,
455,000,000. The cost of conducting
the Government of the United States
is abont $5,000,000,000 per year. The
cost for 1920 was $5,680,005,706, i f $5
per minute had been paid out from the
birth of Chi ist to January 1, 1921, the
total sum paid <>uld be $5,049,122,400.
That would Jack $080,883,300 of wi:at it
cost to conduct our Federal Govern
ment in 1920. If $2.'5 per minute had
been paid out from the birth of Christ
to January 1, 1921, the amount paid
would be $23,225,983,040. That would
be expending at the rate of 40 cents
per second, and would lack $784,030,900
of what, the world war cost us, exclus
ive of loa.cr. to foreign Governments.
“‘And a *t in the face of these figures
wt are asked to enact legislation which
would result, first and last, in paying
out of the I'ederal treasury a Ntttn vari
eusly estimated at, from $2,500,000,000
to $5,(/’■>,009,000. It is true that ae
cording to t.l'.e plan proposed, it mav
be that a part of that sum will be paid
20 years from now; but it has to be paid
just the same. f we adopt that plan
we will simply be saddling the country
with that much more debt, with about
$5,000,000,000 more of debt, which the
people of the country have to pay.
‘“Apparently this country is about to
commit financial suicide. It, is ap
proaching toe verge of financial bank
ruptcy. It is rushing to financial de
struetion in a perfect hysteria of mad
ossa of taxing the people of the United
States and paying money out of the
public treasury: I can see nothing
aiiead but financial destruction and
bankruptcy if it is kept up. I do not
see how anyone can see anything else,
in view of the figures quoted.”

day from the Forks, returned to the
latter place yesterday, going up on the
Alaskan.
