LOOSE
METHODS
PREVAILED

The campaign of the State FEEDER
alton Of Taxpayers associations for
a reduction of 25 per cent in publ.
expenditures in this state is meetine
with response from taxpayers all owe.
the state, according to a statenen
issued by Frank NJ. Dallam. field di-
rector of the federation.
"The effect of high taxation on bus
mess, industry and employment has
become so apparent" says Mr.. Dal-
lam, 'that the people everywhere arc
joining in the demand for substantial
reductions in the cost of government.
A review Of the constantly increas-
ing tax costs shows that a % per cent
reduction is possible and practicable.
The very fact that taxes have in
creased 300 per cent cince 1912 is sur-
ficient evidence that loose methods
have been the prevailing order in the
conduct of public business and when
we find that the tax bill practically
doubled during the four years between
1916 and 1920 it is self evident that
the taxpayer will soon find it impos-
sible to carry the burden.
"ln 1916 the total amount Of money
raised by taxation in the state Of
Washington for all purposes was
S37, 1855, ,785.05 and in 1920 the tax bill
reached the startling total of S72,-
352, $500. an increase in the four
years of $34,S86,10155. Surely those
figures viii convince anyone that eX-
penditures can be cut 25 per cent
without imparing the efficiency of the
government.
"T'he State Federation of Taxpay-
ers' associations Is carrying the fight
for tax reduction into every section of
the state and establishing working
organizations in every county. The
first step necessary to secure more
efficient government at lower cost is
throught thorough organization of
taxpayers. An organized voting
force can accomplish results, but the
uiipl SsaiilHS't OetN pa y els W III never st
cure relief from the excessive tax
burden.
"The state federation has worked
out concrete, definite plan Of put
ting business methods into every di-
vision of government in this state by
the adoption of a budget system to
apply to all public expenditures and
the -you-go' policy with rela-
tion to bond issues. These are sound
business methods Of conducting public
finances and will lay the foundation
for 25 per cent reduction in public
expenditures.
"Organized taxpayers. working for
one common purpose. can and viii
reduce the tax burden. which now
threatens to reach the point of con
fscation. The State Federation Of
Taxpayers associations is the medium
through which the efforts of all or
ganized bodies Of taxpayers viii be
united to work for the one common
purpose"
