Reduce State appropriations-, by re ducing; we can’t reduce spending by] | preaching economy in one direction ; and spending in another. Good men cause most of . the-trou ble in-any effort toward economy. 1 If all the high spenders were evil' men it would be easy to point them ' j out; merely pointing at them would | be sufficient ; to, arouse all the good, sound men; but when some of the ] best , men advocate this high spend ing the cause is given a dignity and respectability that carries it a long way toward adoption. „ We are a people of short vision. Could we not see years ago that we were committing the State'TO'exces- sive permanent expenditures? Some 1 tried to impress that, but were Like the hounds baying at the moon. But' where does that leave us today?' Shall we persist in error because we started in error? Can a man spend on his family in time of adversity j as he does in time of prosperity? j Some men do, and we point them out [ as the visionaries, the unpractical, 1 ' unthrifty men who quickly run through fortunes. A more prudent man will trim his sails to catch the wind; or take in his sails if -a storm blows. I am not impressed by the state- iinent that the University cannot op erate with less than $1,690,000; the basic fact is that we shouldn’t en- j danger the credit of the State in or der to operate the University, or any ether institution. The State has only two services of such urgency that we cannot trim them: police protection and public health: all (others are secondary. Important they i are,* of course; but the State which cannot maintain public order and i protect its citizens in the use and! enjoyment of their earnings and cap- ; ital is a mere bump on a log and an-| Invitation to anarchy. Likewise the State must take measures to assure the public against plagues. All these others are good things, splendid helps to the citizenry, but not of such immediate urgency as permits us to regard them as so necessary as to unpenil the credit of the State. I rejoice that I do not belong to p ressiiregroitps, nor to those clam - oring for public appropriations. The greatest danger we have now is such a sense of loyalty to a group or to an institution- as leads us to look fitst to them and their prosperity rather than to measure the needs of all the State, remembering that the State is not a group of people draw ing salaries from thq State, but the State is the taxpayer, multiplied thousands of times by his fellow suf ferers who are the victims of an an nual crusade to squeeze him to a pulp. ’ I may bje' as,n£ar the University as others are but the University is not to be placed above the taxpay ers; and that applies to all the other institutions and services.

There it stands, in all its desolation—a blasted* hope, a dead dream. It is as dreary as the stark loneliness of a chimney amid a scene of destruction by fire — a home destroyed. Here where the husband came home to his family and the cheerful fire; in front where the little girl played with her dollies and the little boy dodged behind trees and corners, “shooting-em-up”, as all the little fellows are doing, everywhere. I think I told you last year about meeting a Tittle boy in the cafeteria of the Grand Canyon. He was a wee ladie, but he had his two guns and drew both on me, and banged away. When I called him Roy Rogers he let me pass. Recently ^en scouts went out with me to a wiener roast. The little fel lows shot up everything and every body ?nd acted in the tradition of the fighting West they see in the movies; .but as dark came on they wanted their mamas and daddies; and I’m told they slept like nice lit tle boys, without a bloodthirsty dream.
