Taxation Exceeds
Sc, ,OOO,O 1000 Total
runs to ) Per Cent on Full
Valuation in Several
States.

Some time there must be a limit
to expanding debts and taxes.
At the conference Of the National
Tax Association in Minneapolis on
September 1922 were represents.
tiles from forty-onc States. the
Territory of Ala SkG and five provin-
Ces Of the Dominion of Canada. The
Real Estate Board. OF New York
City, took part in the discussions
and made the following report:
The universal opinion was that
the present burden OF taxation was
intoIerable as to amount and un-
equally levied. Estimates as to the
total differed. but II was agreed that
Federal. state and local taxes
amount to at least IS 0OO. .OOO. 600
yearly. or $50 an individual The
total 4. probably much larger.
since the war there has been
tremendous municipal and local
extravagance. In several States
local tax rates on full valuation
reach 5 per cent. In one in
village in Minnesota
where only per cent of the citizens
are taxpayers. the rate is ~ per
cent Delegates ascribed the in
crease to the spread of State Social
ism and the growing tendency for
the state to support the people and
not the people the State.
The Real Estate Board has no
accurate figures. but in all prob
ability more than $4,000 property
owners have been added to taxpay
ers since 1918 in Greater New Yo-I.
Thousands OF these have small
eauities: many in homes of which
probably a majority were brought
on instaIlments- Any additional tax
burden would bring disaster upon
these owners. Men in authority
should hesitate a long time before
Imposing further obligation on
these home owners who are making
every sacrifice to preserve their
[snuities and holdinKs.''
