States Also
Are Spending g
Recklessly
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COiumniSt

Washington, Aug. "A few days
ago we considered a statement NY
the American Federation OF investors
to the effect that federal taxes take
approximately tWo-thirds out OF
every dollar that the country cor
porations earn after paying their
running expenses, leaving only the
remaining one third to be passed out
in dividends to their stockholders.
Now the Census Bureau comes TO
bat with report showing that the
48 states local expenses in 1887 were
nearly twice what they were in 1852.
Their state taxes and indebtedness
increased correspondingly OF course.
The bureau undertakes to strike
an average among the 48 common
wealths, but it doesn't mean thing,
locally speaking.
It's possibly to say that the fed
eral load is SO much per capita. Even
that isn't much of an average, be-
cause some individuals are nit far
harder than others. For instance, I'm
socked like sixty by the tobacco tax,
since l smoke a lot Of cigarettes. But
some nOn-smOker, who drinks more
than l do, catches hades by the levy
on his booze So that's a certain sort
Of an average.
Averaging the states is a different
proposition.
States Versus State.
All the states have hiked their
taxes, but some have hiked them
more than others. Suppose state No.
Is hike has been tWo7 thirds. AND
c.f., To In oiz,J
What satisfaction it is to state No. /
to be told that the average hike has
been only so per cent? = If my
arithmetic's right.
Then there are city taxes. They
vary every which way Ditto county
taxes, and school district taxes.
If citizen lies in a relatively eco
nOmical community he's lucky local
ly, but he doesn't represent an aver
age.
In way, he's stung.

A few years ago there was an
epidemic of interstate road building.
The federal government said "It
you individual states will do such

will match your state appropria-

States which wanted road build
ing jumped at the chance.
Yet there were some states that
knew better. They realized that
they'd be financially OVERRIDING them
selves.

today in announcing the Labora-

Its double purpose is to Surnlsl

practically all aspects Of the currl-
culum of the public school Levels;
BY September Is the number OF

The development Of the Laoora-
tory has been essentially a coopera-
tive group enterprise on the part Of
the faculty Of the Department OF
Education. with expert opinion and
assistance frequently furnished by
other members Of the Division OF
Teacher Training.
Beginning a year ago, the Educa-
ton department made we'll

laboratories of any appreciable size
in the country. Using the lists of
materials thus secured. master list
of curriculum materials Of aid sorts

of the subject matter specialists, of
the specialists on the various school
levels, and Of the acting curricu-

When the University Administra-
ton made an appropriation Tor the
Laboratory recently, this master
list was ready It represented
broad sampling from the nation

man more favorably known to them.
AS editor of a powerful farm jour-
nal, he has talked to" the people
for many, many years and they have
got to know him we'll.
Then there is the probability that
he would not be inacceptible to the
business and industrial interests OF

mer-labor" advocate Certainly he
would not draw their unrelenting
hostility to the point where they
would 60 down the line against him
as they did against Mcdonald in
1886.
On the very practical side, he has
been a State master of the Grange,
first in the state, in fact; which
would give him organized support
in that quarter.
Too, if things shape up right for
his candidacy, there is reason to sup
pose that he would get the support

throughout the State.
This State-Federal agency has
workers in every county down to the
various townships; workers who were

proves, AS a group, they would be
quite formidable.

North Carolina hasn't turned to

work both ways and prove a source

DR.. Poe will be mentioned more and

against it.
