OUR 175,oO0 TAXING UNITS

The announcement that there are
$4,000 different taxing units in the
United States sounds awful but when we
reflect that there are about 5000 counties
many more cities and towns and many
more school districts not to mention other
areas created for specific purposes, it is a
bit comforting
The average citizen is usually taxed
by the Federal government, whether di.
rectly or indirectly, the State, the county,
the school district and the municipality, if
he lives in an Incorporated area. He is not
bothered by the other 174,995 units al
though willing to admit that he has enough
taxes to pay.
The truth of the matter is that the
hue and cry about taxes is over-played by
business men, mostly of the larger size in
any given area who have the idea that or
gained government should exist for bust
ness and not for the people residing in the
territory. The average man. woman or
child in this country receives great bene-
fits from taxation-a truth that should not
be overlooked at paying time.
We do not imply that public revenue
is not foolishly expended. Such a state
ment would not be true. We do not sug-
gest that there are not too many taxing
units or that consolidation in the new era
of travel is. not in order sqeR feorganiza-
tions can save considerable money for the
taxpayers and shoufdqbe.: undertaken as

LYNCHINGS DECREASE

For a number of years Tuskegee In
Stitute has been tabulating the returns of
lynching and it is pleasing to observe
that President F. d. Patterson reports
that there has been a decline in mob &C
ton every decade since 1887.
DIR. Patterson gives three reasons for
the decline and they are, we believe,
sound observations. The first is the dis
appearance of frontier characteristics in
the South; the breaking down of isolation
in the South through the development of
rural free delivery, increased communi-
cation facilities; paved roads and radio );
the third, increased agitation within the
South against lynching."
While the Tuskegee figures have al
ways reflected view that lynching was
peculiarly a Southern phenomena it is
surprising that the Negro does not give
any credit to activity of people in other
sections who are usually quick to con-
denim something happening away from
home. He even goes so far as to term
lynching a special characteristic of the
| frontier in America, both in the West and
] In the South.

| Of government departments Is to re-
suit in substantial or immediate econ
omy. 1t is possible that large savings
viii be realized ultimately, but for
the present nothing substantial along
this line is contemplated. The obvi-
Gus fact is that the President is not
really interested in economy, and the
taxpayers must reconcile themselves
to the support of an admittedly ex-
pensive regime.
Another serious objection to the
plan is the proposed treatment of the
independent commissions that have
been created at various times to regu-
late business, notably the Interstate
Commerce c o m m s sio n, Federal
Trade Commission, Federal Power
Commission. and Securities and Ex-
change Commission. These commits
sions are to be placed in one of the
twelve departments provided for in
the plan. which would make them es-
sentially bureaus in a government
department, subject to political in
huences to a much greater extent
than at present
In this connection maybe recalled

mould the Federal Trade Commits
sion to his will through the removal
of one of its members. The act Great
