STATE AND LOCAL
DEBTS INCREASE
Survey Reveals Expenditures
Represent 68.5 Per Cent of
Entire Government Cost.

ny the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 15.-While the
debt of the Federal Government has
been continuously reduced during the
past 10 years, the bonded Indebtedness
of our State and local governments
has been steadily climbing.
This was revealed today by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board in
its annual study of 1.-The cost Of gov
eminent in the United States"
The board says expenditures of State
and local governments represent 63.5
per cent of the entire cost of gov
eminent in the United States.
The greater part OF the Federal debt
arose from American participation in
the World War, the board said, while
the State and local governments in
CURED Indebtedness by furnishing need
ed capital for public works.
The board emphasized, however, that
many State and local governments
seem rather definitely committed to a
pay as-you-go pclicy.
State and local bonded debt in 1928
was S12,609,000,000 net. an increase of
7.6 per cent over 1927. This increase
was less than the percentage increases
of 9.5 and go per cent flor the two
preceding years. Recent annual in
creases have amounted to approx
mately $900,000,000
Probably the best index of net
bonded debt" says the board, lis that
the ratio Of net bonded debt to ma
tional tangible wealth increased from
% per cent in 1922 to 3.5 per cent
in 1928. The ratio was, therefore, SO
per cent greater for 1928 than for
1922"

was SIS, 1886, 000, 900.

Ministers Daughter
at Luverne Abducted;
Brought Back Safely

Sylvia, 15-year-old daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. L. P. Lund of Luverne,
was kidnapped and taken for a long
ride while returning home from
church Sunday, September IS.
She was returned safely, although
badly frightened and hungry, on the
following Tuesday. While she was
walking home from church, a car

hailed her. When she did not stop,
one of the men in the car got out,
covered her mouth with his hand and
carried her to the car, according to
her story.
Threatened With Gun
They compelled her to lie low in
the back seat. One man threatened
her with a revolver while the other
drove. Miss Lund could not tell what
direction they were taking her, al
though she knew they went as far
west as Sioux Falls. They avoided
all towns and travelled on obscure
roads. She also thinks that they
were in st. Paul before returning to
Luverne. She was released on high
way No. 6 two miles north of Lu-
verne, Tuesday noon, and walked into
town.
She said she was unable to describe
either of the abuctors, other than one
was heavily built and other was tall
and slim. The car carried Wisconsin
license plates.
Although she had been without
food and sleep, she said she had not
been mistreated in any other Wav.
