Indebtedness in United States.

TIE federal bureau Of statistics is
Just sending forth a compilation Of
1913 statistics which Approximate
present conditions. AS compared
with 1902 the assessed valuation OF
property in the forty-eight states and
il the District of Columbia subject
to taxation in 1912 amounted to sss.-
452e3s,i0i. an extraordinary gain
of s3s1l4s1s,221. This has to be
considerably discounted owing to
variations in assessment systems and
the like. But it is 4 gain neverthe-
less greater than the relative increase
of all ad valorem taxes for the decade.
AS for the total and per capita in
Gebtedness Of the national govern
ment the states and the minor civil
divisions, it mounted from $685.
sse.l22 in 1892 to s4.s50,460,713 in
1913, Of which the largest increase
was in the counties. cities and towns
Rapid increase Of population dur
ing the period lessened somewhat the
per capita ratio of Indebtedness; and
were the new inhabitants in many
cases actual as we'll as potential
wealth creators this fact could be
stressed more as an offset TO the trend

along with which go automatically
rising rates of taxation. a fact that
all propertied citizens and all urban
and national administrators face to-
day.
If, in consequence, reconstruction
of systems Of taxation and alteration
Of the incidence of tax burdens are
live questions Of state and municipal
politics at the present time, the fact
is not surprising. Indeed SO acute
is the situation and SO far is the pres

activities, that elements of the popu-
lation that differ radically on other
points are agreeing on this: that
tapping new sources of income is in
evitable if new theories of state ac-
tivity are to be tried out. Tradi-
tional systems of taxation cannot
provide the revenue.
Incident to this significant trend is
the place that tax on land and not
