battles for fiscal equity that as the city
has enjoyed the benefit of no such
loans, 1t should not be forced to lift its
actual tax burden to a superficial level
in order to attain the equality de-
manded by some members of Congress
from out of town.
These per capita interest and sinking
fund payments appear in column 4 of
today's table. Subtracting them from
the total per capita property tax leyies
Tor the fourteen cities and Washington
Column OF table,, it is found that in
comparison of the resulting per capita
tax levies for current maintenance and
development the per capita of Washing
ton (a) exceeds the per capita of five
OF the cities and is exceeded by nine
OF them, and that the per capita of
Washington (b) exceeds that of twelve
OF the cities and is exceeded by that of
two. (See column So
State Taxes Included.
The Bureau Of Efficiency report ex-
plains that the revenue receipts listed
under the heading Of taxes include all
the taxes collected in the respective

VI washington, explains the report,
these taxes are shown in two sections,
namely, city and State, and the city
section includes county and district
taxes. Although Washington has no
State or county organization, it was
considered necessary to include State
and county taxes for the other cities
in order to arrive at their total tax
burden"
1t has always been contended In
Washington that in comparisons of its
tax burden with that of other cities the
State tax should not be taken into ac-
count; that as Washington enjoys no
State rights, privileges, bounties and
DEMENT'S, she should not be figured to
pay justly as part Of her normal tax
burden what other cities pay in consid-

eral holdings-is greater than ten cities
and less than four.
Deducting Interest Payments.
The significant comparisons so far as
current maintenance is concerned do
not include a comparison of interest
payments on city indebtedness, which
represent expenditures in the past of
the proceeds of loans of which the
benefits have been enjoyed. Washing
ton, 1t is maintained, which enjoys the
benefits Of no loans, should not be re-
quired In order to put itself on a tax
paying equality with other cities to tax
itself in the amounts represented by
these interest payments, and they should
be deducted, it is held, from the prop
erty tax levies of all the cities in a COM
pariSon with Washington Of the cost of
current maintenance.
This theory Is in effect substantiated
by the Bureau of Eficiency's findings
(although the practice is not followed
In the tables), for in the report itself
the bureau reaches the conclusion that
a difference between the. per capita gov
ernmental cost payments of Washington
and other cities is accounted for almost
entirely by larger expenditures Tin the
case OF other cities) on account of in
terest on bonded Indebtedness and capi-
tai outlays. 1t is evident that most of
the other cities are living beyond their
income and running into debt in order
10 undertake extensive programs of
public improvements"
Financial Jags" Elsewhere,
Washington is not undertaking extern
slVe programs of public improvements
on borrowed money. It did not indulge
IN the large borrowing and bond issues
That have been termed a Financial
Jag" following the war, when cities were
able TO borrow easily from rich investors

Striking Results Shown.
The striking results of this column in
the table are the comparisons showing
WaShington's per capita without the
United States participating as a tax
payer) of $48.797 as being more than
so per cent greater than that of Balti-
more, $30.964; more than a third above
that of New Orleans, $34.353; more than
fourth greater than st. Louis, $37 7536;
almost one-sixth greater than Indianap-
oils, $42.528, and distinctly more than
Minneapolis, $44.35s, and milwaukee,
$44.710. and nearly as much as Cleve-
land. $50.900, and Jersey City, $50.IO2
1t would appear from such compari-
sons that Washington's per capita city
tax burden Is relatively high, indeed.
With the United States participating
as taxpayer-and bearing a fictitious
tax burden comparable to the actual
tax burdens borne by the great indus
tries of the cities compared-the COM
parison is even more striking. In this
case Washington's city tax burden for
current maintenance more than doubles
that of Baltimore.
The Final Comparisons.
The last two columns of the table
broaden the comparisons from general
property taxes to all kinds of taxes,
limit them to city taxes Gncludinr
county and all other taxes except State1
and eliminate city interest payments to
enable fair comparisons to be made be-
tween the cost Of current" mainte-
nance and development in the different
cities.
Washington (a) (without the United
States participating as a taxpayer)
records per capita of $57.265. WASH
ington (b) with the United States par
ticipating as a taxpayer) records a per

senttng the average individuals tax
burden, is nearly 20 per cent greater
than Baltimore or New Orleans and 80
per cent greater than st. Louis.
Thus the same showing is made in q
comparison Of total city tax burdens as
in q comparison Of general property
taxes, with WaShington's per capita
city tax burden for current maintenance
exceeding substantially great and rich
cities like Baltimore. New Orleans, st.
