Secretary of War Good, called up
on to reduce the upkeep of the army
and examining the projects suggested
to attain that end, has come upon a
great truth. Says he:
"As it so frequently happens,
when one is looking around for econ
omies, the change proposed would
cost more than the system already in
use."
Bitter as it may be to President
Hoover, Mr. Good is right. As an
axiom of government, "the change
proposed would cost more than the
system already in use," is fit to take
rank with that famous utterance of
Senator Smoot, when, in a moment of
candor unusual to politicians, he
said:
"There has never been a year
. . . -when the cost of government
has not increased and it will con
tinue to increase, I care not what
party is in power."
And these, as everyone knows, are
among the truest words ever uttered
by a member of Congress.
