JOHNSON FINDS"
i. S. COST HEAVY
r. Johnson'. sense Of fairne.. toward

Mr.. Johnson's sense Of fairness toward
the District. It is perfectly obvious,
with an indirect system of taxation
such as obtained in I911-l2 and, to a
hardly less degree now, that no sound
analysis such as Mr.. Johnson purports
to offer. could be based upon popula-
tion statistics. We are not taxed on
the basis Of population, but on what
we wear. eat, drink, and use, and upon
our incomes.
II Mr.. johnson can give. accurately.
the relation between what the people in
Kentucky pay through the tariff. to what
the people Of other States pay, including
income taxation. and then tell what re-
lation that bears to the total amount
contributed by the United States. his
figures may mean something TO a few
expert accountants. political economists
with a mathematical turn of mind. or
sufferers from insomnia.
The tabulation offered by Mr.. johnson
is misleading further i'm that it fails to
take into account, in segregating the diff
ferent items OF expenditure, that the
Federal government Is responsible for
a great deal of extra expense incurred
in the administration OF the District gov
ernment; that we have to pave a much
larger street area to the mile than almost
any other city; that We have to pave side
walks around government buildings, and
around parks. all out OF proportion. in
their combined area, to the requirements
OF a city the size OF Washington: that
these unnecessarily wide streets and large
parks. which are so only because this is
the National Capital, planned by the
national legislature. all have to be lighted
that We have to furnish police and fire
protection for all government buildings,
and police for many Of the parks: that
the attitude the Federal government
has assumed for years has been such as
to discourage commerce in this city, and
to place upon residents the burden of an
exalted and over-weighty middleman.
The tabulation is preceded by the fol-
lowing explanatory note:
This tabuIation and analysis sets forth
the Federal aid extended toward the
municipal expenses of the District of
Columbia, distributed prorata to popula-
tion among the various States for the
fiscal year 19ll-12-
The numerous items which constitute
the District budget have been reduced
to ten heads following the main lines of
expenditure, and grouping under mis-
cellaneous' the Federal apportionment-
l. E., one-half-of such items as militia.
SSO.650 contingent expenses, $40, l,G3O;
emergency fund. SS.oOo: marking histori-
cal plaCes' sSp' anu hNiiSiONS S"'S'
items.
Schools carry both salaries, main
tenance, and new buildings. Improve
ments and repairs carry such items as
extension of streets. paving, assessment
and permit work, bridges and construc-
ton other than school buildings.
"'Streets and sewers carry street
cleaning and all sewer work and main
tanning.
THE groupings are necessarily arbi-
trary, but the main idea has been to
convey a definite statement of the net
charge against each State in the Union
of the general subsidy paid by the Fed
eraI government toward the purely To-
cal and municipal expenses OF the Dis
trict of Columbia.

that former Representative James E.

Manufacturers and the organizations afil-

The American Federation of Labor

these operations are conducted in the
