PEOPLES FORUM
On Governments.

Editor Nfrgtnian:
Sir.-The cost of government in the United
states has JUS been made public in a bulletin
issued by the Department OF Commerce II
appears that In 1914 the Federal Government
expended $953 596.639: the various State gov
lernments 1861. 5S5. 331: the various county gov
ernments 1870 o4So46. and the incorporated
municipalities s1,l0S,272.751. This is a toral
lof t2,799977.765. The per capita taxation is
$27sa. family Of five averages paying
S139.95. The fact Is that the entire taxation
is paid by those who produce, even though they
may not think they paying penny. As
this includes less than fourth of the people
the burden of the Government on each actual
worker, exclusive of roads and schools. is at
least si65.
And the man who works gets nothing from all
this expenditure, nothing whatever. Instead 1t
means that he is because of the present at
ttude OF the Government. forcibly held up by
the private control OF industry for many times
as much as the Government itself costs.
There ought to be government, but It has
no right TO exist except for the protection OF
those who toll. If we had such government
it need not cost fourth what 1t docs In
what it would save the worker, through pro-
tecting him from exploitation it would cost him
less than tenth OF the present Governm mt

CITY IN CONFLICT
WITH STREET CAR CO.
QUESTION AS TO RESPONSIBILITY
FOR MAINTENANCE OF SOUTH
SIDE BRIDGE.

communication was received
from the City Attorneys office yes
terday concerning the construction,
repairs and maintenance Of the bridge
over the caral at the lower end of
Hull Street, in which 1t was stated
that mudh correspondence had been
INDUCED in between the city and the
Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany as to responsibility in the
premises. The City Attorney maintains
the cost should fall upon the company.
and the company contests this view.
The City Attorney suggests that the
Administrative Board forward to his
office all rle correspondence, bills and
charges connected with the case, so
that suitable steps may be taken.
The bridge was built in 1919. The
board complied with the request Of
the City Attorney.
A letter was received from the
Good Roads Company OF Baltimore,
stating that the company would be
ready to proceed with road improve
ments in Highland Park by May |.
Commissioner Hirscnberg stated
that he had looked fully into the
matter and found that when the con-
tract was entered into between High
land Park and the company, it was
done with annexation in view. and
that the city is not liable for the con-
tract. He moved that the company
be informed that it's services would
not be required to repair the roads in
the territory mentioned.
