It seems so good to them to get out of doors after the long winter, that they cheerfully manipulate hoes, spades, lawn mower and rake. Their places spruce up and become a credit to the streets. But when the hot months come on, their enthusiasm too often evaporates. It is sweaty work getting after those pestiferous weeds. The languor of midâ€"summer gets over them, and they want to go for a ride and get cooled off. So the place begins to get a neglected look, and the fine promise ofthee.rlymgoea. There is a great deal of pleasure in keeping a well place, with grass nicely clipped, flowers and shrubs kept free from weeds. There are just as many thrills in that as in burning gas at 40 miles per hour. And there is no danger of getting smashed up. President Coolidge‘s recent warning against governmental exâ€" travagance strikes ably at one of the most important problems we have to consider. Where, over a fourâ€"year period from 1921 to 1925 the cost of Federal government was reduced $2,000,000,000, this saving was more than offset by an increase of $3,500,000,000 in the cost of local governments. Since that time other increases This mounting cost of local governments is a definite menace to our prosperity. A long period of good times has been to an extent responsible for our overlooking the consequences. But, as President Coolidge says: "Already the adverse effects of the great increase in such expenditures, with the corresponding rise in their taxes are being felt. With much capital in the country, new investments are showing a tendency to be insufficient to furâ€" nish as good a market as we could wish for labor. While no serâ€" ious unemployment exists, and the trend of wages is still adâ€" vancing, if all the money that can be made in employing labor is going to be taken away in local taxes, old and established indusâ€" tries will attempt to struggle along, but new enterprise is not goâ€" Unless steps are taken to remedy the matter the inevitable reaction must set in. Governmental extravagance and high taxes can result only in business depression. Local governments must emulate the example of the Federal government, and practice scientific, progressive economy.
