TAX COMMISSION
 !. MAKES REPORT : TOTHE GOVERNOR
Permanent Reduction in All Real Estate Taxation
 Is Recommended

aartford,S Conn, Nov 30.--( (UP) The special state study commis- sion has recommended to Cover nor Cross that permanent reduc4 tion in real estate taxation can be accomplished by reorganization of the government and abolition of unnecessary expenditures.
 "Its Is self-evident,' report stated, ''that governmental spend- ing. in excess of income and at a rate of increase more rapid that that of the growth of wealth and income of the citizens of the state, means a continued increase in tax burdens and. eventually. the de- cline in standards of living. The commission "cannot too strongly urge the necessity of further re- duction and a more effective con- trol of expenditures of the load if taxation now borne by real estate is to be substantially reduced" Re- duction' in governmental expendi- lures, the report continued twill require the elimination of unneces- sary or uneconomical services. re- organization of departments. the discharge of unnecessary personnel and general increased efficiency"
 The expenditures of state and To- cal governments, it was pointed out. ''are four to five times higher at present than they were in 1912 and twice as high in 1882 as in 1920, "even though the estimated income of the state was 32 per cent less in 1882 than in 1920. Eighty per cent of all state expenditures from 1927-28 to 1932-33. 1t was said. were made for highways, charities and corrections and edu- cation.
 Highway appropriations took from 3. Sto 47 per cent; charities and corrections from 20 to 32 per cent and education from 12 to IA per cent. Less than 25 per cent was spent for all other state functions. including general government, pro- tection of persons and property; conservation of natural resources health and sanitation, public parks. interest and miscellaneous.
 Counties appropriated approxi- mately 95 per cent of their incomes for charities. general government and interest and the bulk of muni- cipalities appropriations were for education and highways.

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETr.

A man who knows Washington and
Washington conditions has remarked: !:
Within so years this city will have
population of million people"
The prophecy so expressed was
based, presumably. upon the progress
which has been manifested since the
beginning of the century. The Capital
in 1900 was little better than a large
country town, and visitors from other
sections of the country and from for
eign lands thought of it as such.
Washington has become a metropolis
and has assumed its proper place
among the great cities of the world.
There are indications on every hand
that the present expansion will con-
tinue for at least several decades.
Many Discuss Headquarters.
To illustrate the trend. it may be
mentioned that many different ma
tional organizations are discussing
plans to establish headquarters in the
District. The Rockefeller Foundation.

Steel
RATE RISES

Steel makers in the Chicago
district will make a little better
showing for the current week
than had been expected earlier,
when some of the producers ap-
parently cut down their produc-
ton rate a little too sharply over
the July fourth holiday, with the
result that they have been forced
to expand materially in order to
meet demands for delivery.
AS the week comes to a close
the average ingot production rate
for the district is slightly in ex-
cess of 30 per cent of theoretical
capacity as against somewhat less
than that figure when the week
opened.
The Inland Steel Company is
leading the district with an ingot
production of 54 per cent of
theoretical capacity.
The Illinois Steel Company,
of the U. S. Steel Corp,
is reported at % per cent at
South Chicago and about Is per
cent at Gary. The American
Sheet & Tin Plate Company,
another U. S. Steel subsidiary at
Gary, is running its tin mill at
SIS per cent of capacity and it's
sheet mill at IS per cent, both
under the rate in effect
in the final week of June.

"The depression in the capital

of academic interest to the
farmer. He is being deprived of
the normal buying power Of
