Thoughts For The Times
AUSTRALIAN.
Necessity FOR DEPARTMENTAL ' Economy. The imperative necessity for securing economy in every department of public (as ,indeed, of private) life, if national bankruptcy is to be avoided, is not yet sufficiently recognised. Nothing will accomplish it but a return to the almost forgotten tradition established by Mr Gladstone, and carried on by Sir Michael Hicks Beach, under whom the financial policy of the State was “by saving numerous -pence to spend effective pounds.” Since their day there has increasingly grown up a feeling that small expenses do not matter, and that it is an almost necessary sign of vitality in a public department, and particularly in a now department, that it shall constants throw off buds of fresh expenditure which rapidly grows into shoots and branches.—Home comment.
