The tax bill of the United States Is
fast making inroads on the surplus OF
the national income necessary for
economic progress and is threatening
to hamper the growth of the nation,
according to q report made public yes
terday by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board.
at is question of growing i'm
portance, whether reduction in and
wider diffusion of the tax burden may
not be desirable, not only for the pro-
lection Of the national surplus, out in
order TO awaken a more general in
terest in the activities of the govern
ment," says the report. It further
saws that state and local taxation now
almost equal the Federal levies and
that one-sixth of the national income
went to taxes during 1921. Federal
taxes in that year rose 10 per cent
over 1919.

the country. The war increased this
ssS q person during the year from
1918 to 1919.
Following the cessation Of hostiiities
public expenditures did not greatly de-
crease, FOR during the fiscal year Of
1920-'2l the per capita expenditures
amounted to S45, computed on the pre-
war internal purchasing power basis.
An interesting feature of the report
is that 1t shows the steady rise in the
expenses Of local and state govern
rnents. From 1903 to 1918 they in
creased from SIS to s23 a person.
New York Holds Record
New York held the record for per
capita tax bu- dens during the year
1919 with $14836. Massachusetts, was
next, with $125.35; Delaware was third
with $124.A1; Rhode Island fourth, with
$115.25, and Michigan next, with
