BALANCED BUDGETS ESSEN
TIAL TO S. ccESS

Every well managed and successful
business constantly makes improve
ments and borrows money. but it does
50 on a predetermined plan which
keeps a safe ratio between it's liabil-
tiles and its earnings, OF ability t,
pay the debt
The same system must apply to
government. Constant borrow ing >
without repayment pile up a perm
anent overhead Of interest which alb
serbs too great proportion Of the
earning power Of the taxpayers (the
government.)
From January 1, 1920, to January
1, 1926, our national debt was re-
duced by about four and One-fourth
billion dollars, but during the samt
time state and local governments in
creased their debts by six and three
fourth billion dollars. State govern.
ments contracted new debts about
twenty times as fast as they paid
off the old ones.
The states are going into debt
about four and one-hah times as fast
as they did before the war. Our
total public debts are now higher
than at the war time peak. The nat
ional debt is being reduced at the
rate of three-fourth billion dollars
year, but state and local debts are
being increased at the rate of about
one and one-fourth billion dollars a
year.
There is just one outcome for a
business that borrows too repidly-
financial difficulties; and the same
situation will overtake governments
local or national, which fail
10 balance their budgets. Now is the
time for this nation to act in every
.ax-levying department. We must
not wait until the tax load affects
adversely the investment of capital
he employment of labor and the OPP
ration Of industry.
