THE GREAT PROBLEM.

Interesting facts regarding taxation the
dominant problem that now confyonts America
are pertinently discussed by writer in an In
dianapolis paper who says:
The functions of government have been
Increased by the establishments of bureaus and
commissions. until now one in thirty-four of our
working population is on the pay roll of the
national, state and local government. Last year
the Federal government spent as much as the
price of all the farm products of the country. In
Indiana in 1921 100000 more taxes were
paid than in 1920. The state auditors report
shows that 1924 81 90 was collected for state
purposes and $2842O, 278.O6 was spent, thus
showing an increase of expenditures over re-
.ceipts of $1,578 906.46. While commodity prices
were reduced nearly one-half in 1921 over the
previous year, yet the cost of maintaining nearly
every department of the state shows an increase
over 1920.
When our lawmakers add new functions
of government create new boards and commits
Isions, Increase salaries and promote extravagant
public expenditures they are not representing
but misrepresenting the people. The taxpayers
are against these things When men seek office
they promise economy and reform in public
service. But when in office they forget all
about their promises, fall into the hands of the
