debtedness, but added that this was not
alone "A federal problem, that "the i'm
proved order must come into the units
of government into which the federal
government: never intrudes."
Mr.. Harding did not detail any ad-
ministration program for tax revision.
but he did say the federal government
was working under program which
involves extinguishing half a billion
Of the (public) debt each year" and
asserted that the payments which the
British government will make under
the British-Amcrican debt settlement
will correspondingly relieve the burden
upon American taxpayers"
Comparing the costs Of state covers
mcnt he said. II am informed ths rev.
enues Of the states in 1913 aggregated
368.000.000, and that in 1921 they had
increased to $959. 100000. The expcndi-
lures Of the states in 1918 aggregated
$3.50. 100000. and in 1921 they were ST.
005 ,O00. 900; an increase Of 1863 per cent.
The Indebtedness of the states in 1913
amounted to s423. 10000 and In 1921 10
$1.0i2,000,000, an increase Of 130 per
cent
Turn now to the cost Of city govern
ment. The Census Bureau dsta Of 227 Of
the larger cities, shows that these cit
les in 1918 collected $500. .0OO. 900 in all
revenues. and in 1921 they collected
81 SGT 100000; that Is, they we're COM
pellcd to take rs per cent more in tax
es in 1921 than they had taken In 1913.
The same group Of cities expended, In
1918. s1,010.0O0.000 and in 1921, $1.726,-
000.000-an increase Of II per cent The
total debt Of this group Of cities in 1913
was s2,90l .000. 900. which by 1921 had
risen to s4,33l 900. .000--an increase Of
40 per cent.
County administration appears also
to have shown much larger proper
ionate increase in cost and tax collec-
tions than did the government Of cit
les.
"There Is but one way for the COM
munity finally to get back on its feet.
