RIOT OF PATORITISM
GOVERNMENT EXTRA V AGANCE COMING HOME TO ROOST. In the past our demoncracies have had their fling. They have called for costly undertakings in the form of public works, irrespective of the fact that they had to be paid for. They have urged governments to^ provide extensive social services which it is not the function of the State to establish and maintain. They have expected public utilities which are outside the operations of governmental functions. It has been a riot of paternalism, tbe curse of which is coming home to roost. Generaily speakinj, it is the fault of the people that expenditures are so heavy. The State has been regarded as having a bottomless purse (Says the Regina Star, Canada).
