HIGH TAXES AND
THEIR REMEDIES

An illuminating exhibit in connec-
ton with an address delivered recent
ly by Mr.. Thomas E. Lyons of the
Wisconsin tax commission before !;
meeting of the assessors of income ii
that state, is a chart showing the per
capita total government cost payment
by states, subdivided into per capita
cost for cities Chaving a population
of $500 and over), for counties, and
for state purposes. From this chart
it appears that the average per capita
cost for all three purposes for the
whole United States is $35.73. The
state where the total is the lowest
is South Carolina, with 1892; the
highest are also in the far west
Oregon, Nevada Washington, Ne
braska, and Montana Idaho and
Colorado are just little lower than
New York, and considerably above
the national average, while Utah falls
just below the average, with $3450
Mr.. Lyons address was devoted
to the subject Of our increasing public
expenditures and the cause, with refer
ence to the query, Is there rem
edy? His arguments are admirabl,
presented, his survery of the situation
is broad and clear, his conclusions
sound and sensible; and the fact thai

on be explained-why must we all
have what nobody wants? The obi
Gus answer is that while nobody wants
high taxes, nearly everybody wants
the things that make taxes high. For
ten months in the year, some class
of every community the reformer, the
educator, the philanthropist, the aes
thete or the pleasure seeker, each af-
ter his lSind-clamors for increased
expenditure. and scarcely voice is
heard in protest until during the re-
maing two months when tax payments
have to be made Then there is "a
loud outcry for. a time, after which
the matter again subsidies for another
year.
The assessors and collectors arc
not to be blamed, though they gen
orally have the misfortune to make
themselves disliked The. fault lies
with state legislatures, county COM
missions, school boards and city coun.
ellis or commissions, which yield to
the demands persistently made upon
them and authorize activities that are
not always worth while, but which.
ever when they are, run into sum-
that become grievously burdensome
upon the people. They provide
more Offices, and increase salaries.
