! \ new hand grips the brake on
business enterprise throughout the
nation, the hand of the local tax
collector
| No longer does the federal gov
ernment claim the lions share of the
! taxpayers money. The state. the
county and the city have increased
their claims for governmental cost.
| according to census bureau returns
recently gathered and now being
made public, to an appalling extent
within the past five or six years,
and business men throughout the
| country, one hears here, are alarmed
at the trend and are preparing ac-
lively to curb it.
The census bureau recently OBJ
tanned returns from all the states
| and from several thousand villages,
towns and cities showing comparative
governmental costs of 1922, 1917 and
1914. As fast as these returns are
tabulated they are released for pub
! lication. Thus far the bureau has
made public figures covering the cost
of maintaing nine state governments
and about 100 city governments.
Local Costs Mount.
According to the bureaus figures.
the cost of maintaing the nine state
governments in 1922 was 336 per
cent of the cost in 1914. Within the
period of five years, or from 1917
to 1922, the cost of government in
these states rose 165 per cent, amount
| ing to more than two and one-half
times as much at the end of that
| period as it did at the beginning.
| The bureaus figures cover the state
governments-exclu of the cities,
towns and villages-of Delaware, Ne
braska, West Virginia, Kentucky,
New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, Wyo-
ming and Rhode Island. The 1914
cost of government in those juris-
! dictions was slightly in excess of
s78,oOO,000. BY 1917 the cost had
| risen to ss9 100000. In 1922 it was
| 1852, ,40O,o 900.
! In no single state was there de-
crease. The smallest rate of increase
between 1917 and 1922, in Kentucky,
was almost so per cent. The largest
increase was shown in Michigan, or
|
! 600 in 1922. This is at the rate of
about 300 per cent increase. The
percentage was exceeded in the
smaller state of Delaware, where
| costs increased from s1,3s5,o0O in
1917 to s5.6S3,ooo in 1922, or at the
rate of about 800 per cent.
The, cost of government in Ne
braska more than doubled. In West
Virginia it more than trebled within
the five-year period. In New Jersey
/ it rose from s21,000,000 to upward
of $55,0e0,o00 annually. In Illinois,
| the increase was from 35,400,-
600 to s52,1o0,eO0. In Wyoming it
jumped from less than 100000 to
almost s5.00o.000, and in conservative
Rhode Island it shot up from s4,27S,-
! 600 to S7,343,000.
City Expenses Doubled.
The states appear to be running
into higher proportionate costs than
| the cities. In New York city the
| increase within the five-year period
Mas about 65 per cent, or from $685.

Reclamation Projects

Reclamation work is to be one of the
most important phases of legislation to
be dealth with by the incoming Con-
gress. With the admitted purpose of
having as complete information as can
be obtained on all reclamation projects
to lay before the new Congress, Secre-
tary Work has directed Commissioner
Davis of the reclamation bureau to
make a personal survey and inspection
Of all the projects.

National Survey Reveals.

100000 to s3s9.0oO.0o0. In thI.ty
other cities the total cost of govern
ment increased 95 per cent. or vir-
tually doubled. within five years
These cities include San Francisco
Providence, r. l.; Jersey City, Bir-
mingham, Albany, Portland, Me-; Ok
lahoma City. Charleston. S. c.; Nor
folk. Harrisburg. Louisville, Berkeley
Calf; Knoxville. Trenton, Flint
Pueblo, Springfield, ILL.,; Springfield
Mo-: Roanoke. Va; Johnstown, Pa;
Lansing, Mich; Lexington, KY; New
port, r. l., and several smaller COM
munities, all of which, however, ex-
ceeded 10000 in population.
Total governmental costs for these
thirty cities in 1917 were $4,000. .000
In 1922 they lacked a few thousands
of s170,000.00o.
Statisticians here estimate. in the
light of these returns, that the cost
of governing the people of the United
States has increased from SS,500,-
600, 900 in 1921 to about $4,000, ,00o,0 ,00O
a year at the present time, notwith-
standing the decrease of about one
third in the cost of maintaining the
federal government. The increase is
attributed to the rapidly rising costs
of local government. -....
Must Pay one-sixth.
1t Is estimated that one-sixth of
the income of all the workers in the
country-if taxes were averaged-is
taken by the hand of the government
If the present rate of increase con-
tinues the amount demanded by gov
ernment will be one-fifth instead OF
one-sixth within from two to three
years
Trade associations and other busi-
ness organizations in Washington are
taking a lively interest in the census
disclosures. Leading the movement
looking to a curb on local costs OF
government is the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers, with branches
in about forty states. That organiza-
tion recently adopted resolutions
commencing the federal government
reduction in cost effected by the oper-
alton of the budget and urging upon
our extravagant states and munich
palities practical imitation of the
federal system"
AS the census bureau makes public
it's returns the association places
them before the manufacturers in the
states and cities affected, with the
suggestion that the figures be studied
and appropriate action be taken.
I'VE believe" said Nathan B. will
liams of counsel for the association,
that the high rates of local taxa
ton are hurting business; that we
spend far too much for local govern
ment and that the time has come to
call halt and get back to reason
able basis"

For Permanent Agency.

rOF permanent Agency
The advisability of the establish
ment of permanent government
agency to give to the public and IT,
the miners and operators up-to- date
information in regard to the coal in
dustry has been suggested by the
commission. One Of the great diff
culties in the coal industry has been
the seasonal character of the busi-
ness. Another lies in the fact that
too many mines have been and are
being developed simultaneously. The
result has been TO make many mines
idle, or to cause them to operate on
part time. too many days in the year.
The miners have been paid for too
few working days in consequence,
during n year.
The use OF coal as a fuel has become
so common in this country that coal
business has taken on the garb of a
public utility to almost as great an
extent as transportation. The trans
portation problem still requires at
tention, but the government has set
up the Interstate Commerce Commits
deal with rates and wages and work
ing conditions. From the point $of
view of the public the government
can well afford to expend some money
in setting up agencies which will help
the people get a continuous supply OF
fuel at fair rates.
Renewable Agreements.
Another recommendation OF tthe
Coal Commission, which is entitlea@tD
serious consideration by the ,op6rs5-
tors and the miners is that all agree
ments between them shall renew
themselves, unless ninety days nof{se
is given by either or both parties
that they are not satisfactory Such
a period would give ample TppPpJ-
tunity for investigation ofJaif f4cAts,
and a chance to bring about a settle
ment. In its report on ths sa1thra-
cite industry the commission ,sug-
gested the President be given by
legislation the authority to declare
an emergency, should there be ma
tional coal strike, and to operate
the mines so as. to prevent fuel
famine. Whether Congress will fol-
low such a recommendation is doubt
full. Certainly there will be strong
opposition to it. But there are con-
servatiye members of Congress who
insist that unless the coal industry
sets its house in order, eventually
there will be even more drastic
action, and possible naturalization Of
the mines by the government.
