TINE five preceding articles of this
series have shown that former
Investigations Of relative tax
i burdens revealed Washington as
adequately taxed.
The last inquiry, by the Mapes Com
mittee. indicated that Washington is
ha@rantly undertaXed; that the impoSi-
ton of new and substitute forms of
taxation, adding $4,100000 to the total
burden, would not be excessive. Rep
reSentatiVe Frear Of Wisconsin, in re-
Cording his separate views, declared that
$l4000,000 additional in taxes could be
levied here without excessive taxation.
These contradictory findings are con-
fuSing, especially in view of a table
printed in the MapeS report, which is
referred to by the report as follows:
Particular attention is also called to
the comparative statement of assessed
valuations, tax levieS, tax rates, etc,
covering a 10-year period. This statis-
tical compilation, showing, as it does,
the per cent of increases in assessed
valuations and in taxes levied, is ex
Ceedingly interesting and shows to what
extent expenditures of tax money have
exceeded the increase in taxable wealth
Furthermore, for comparative purposes
this table presents valuable study Of
general property taxation conditions
that have existed in these cities during
the last 10 years. The table is also of
ineStimable value in any study of rela
tive tax burdens"
The table referred to appears on pages
45-48 of the MapeS report. The last
column of the table is reproduced here,
with an additional column to show the
percentage of population increase dur
ing the 10-year period. 192O-3O.

Nation controls. it pays; and to the
extent that it controls it pays
Washington is the only capital in
the world In which, If certain pro-
posed policies prevail, the Noon
would do all Of the controlling and
none of the paying Paris wants
France to pay without controlling;
some men would have the United
States control without paying.
The assumption and exercise of alb
solutc aEa exclusive legislative power
by the organic act were coupled with
recognition of a pre- existing and con-
tinuing financial obligation. The Ma
ton cannot equi!ably repudiate or re-
duce to a mir. mum its financial ob,iga-
ton and retain and exercise its full
despOtio and exclusive power to tax and
to govern.
Such equitable considerations may
not be as easily reduced to tangible
sums in dollars and cents as the Bure2u
OF Efficiency succeeded in doing by its
method. Nor, on the other hand. can
the Federal contribution to District
revenues be entirely discarded when
comparisons of the financial response
bility ard burden of this relatively small
community, dependent for its very eX-
istence upon the Federal Government,
are made with those of independent,
self-governirg, self-taxing and self
supporting cities.

DETROIT CLEARING
FINANCIAL TANG[E
Budget SIashed by Mayor to
Balance Tax Losses and
Big Debts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, February 6-Bonded vir-
tually to the limit, facing a deficit of
more than $10000000, necessary
budget slash of S6.000,000, and with
tax collections nearly S15,000,000 be-
hind expectations, Detroit apparently is
Weathering a financial crisis that has
brought disaster to other American
cities in similar circumstances.
The principal reason for optimism in
the City's financial future is the econ
omy program Of young. red-haired
Mayor Frank Murphy and his aide. G
Hall Roosevelt, city controller. Between
them, with the backing of a new city
council they have begun a budget re-
duction campaign that reaches into
every city department.
Don't lay off old employees or scrub
women or those who will suffer greatly
from the loss of work" instructed
Mayor Murphy. Then he began sys-
tematic campaign Of reduction believed
to be the most drastic any American
city ever has made in salary and pay
roll.
Tax Payments Lag.
More than S76.OO0OOO was appropri-
ated for Detroit in the fiscal budget for
the year starting July. 1881. Suddenly
tagging tax payments, with the eSti-
mated revenue for the period set at
S57000,000. There was S19.0O0.0 900
gap between the appropriated amount
and the expected revenue, and the
mayor Immediately launched into a re-
ductlon of the appropriation. He placed
all departments on a rigid quota basis
and brought the budget down to S63,-
100000. Then he set out to slash off
another S6.O00,OOO and has virtually
completed the reductions.
Mayor Murphy attributes a great part
of the bonded Indebtedness to the
city'S rapid expansion.
Remember that % years ago Detroit
was a city of Al square miles and 400
600 population he says, today it
inclose l39 square miles and has an
additional 100000 population. Natur-
ally this growth required heavy eX-
penditureS in paving, sewers, lighting
and every form of improvement"
Ore of the recent actions of the
mayor, in an effort to reduce loss of
revenue and deficit in the municipality
owned street railway lines, was to take
over the Detroit Notorious Co., a pri-
vate enterprise All Detroit tranSporta-
ton is now municipality and the
mayor has reported a decrease in the
monthly street railway deficit from
S25OOO0 to $4,000. with the prediction
that the deficit will be entirely removed
within a few months.
Opposes Larger Budget
Mayor Murphy has repeatedly de-
clared that he will not stand for a
larger budget and has insisted that un-
less more taxes are paid or new sources
of income are provided. the city must
be run on $12,0OO.OOO during the next
fiscal year. He has warned that it will
take the city government five years to
get out Of its present financial plight
A $7000000 welfare bill for the last
fiscal year, increased to this amount by
Mayor Murphy's energetic program as
siStance to the unemployed, was raised
by the issuance Of public emergency
bonds. The mayor has stated that this
cannot be done during the present
fiscal year.
