CHICAGO, Feb. 10.--Eyery man.
woman and child fl the United
states carries an annual tax burden
OF 1922. but the rate is the lowest
Of any great nation. according to
President Jesse Grant Chapline, Of
Lasalle Extension University. IN an
address here at an economic con-
ference.
Taxes In the United States are.
lis per cent OF the total national
income" said President Chapline.
I'm England they are 23.2 per cent,
in France 2O.9 per cent, and in
Italy 1872 per cent. Including both
State and local taxes, the total In
the United States win exceed 81
500, 0OO, 900 a year.
Heaviest item is interest on the
war debt. Although the war debt
is being reduced an average of "a
billion dollars a year, about $780,
600, 600, 900 remains, an average Of
$3.50 for every person in the United
States. More than 43 per cent of
the United States taxes go for war
debt, Veterans Bureau and pen
sions. Interest on the public debt
In 1924 was $94O, 500, 900, whereas
the entire Federal expenses for 1916
were only $741 .996 700.
Foreign nations owe the United
States $12, zoo, 000, 900 on this &C
count, but prospects Of payment
are remote. The situation, unprec-
edented in the history of finance,
is $4,000 .00O,O 900 of debt with no
productive assets behind it. 1t is
business in the United States which
is carrying this tremendous burden
for the world, and it is able to do
so because business in this country
is fast being reduced to a science
conducted by highly trained and
highly paid experts. The world
should take off its hat to American
business
