TAXATION AND WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE 179 



pauper question on the part of all concerned, Govern- 

 ment, tax-payers and the people; a wise, practical inter- 

 pretation of its meaning, and not the sickly, mawkish 

 and exceedingly unwise interpretation it bears to-day. 



We, the British tax-payers, ask this in aU seriousness. 

 We demand it as a right. We, who supply the funds, ask 

 that our money be spent wisely and well and for the good 

 of the people. Now, our millions are spent to the un- 

 doing of our countrymen, and we require the system to 

 be altered and amended.
