 The people of Fairbanks CO operate by opening their homes tO visitors who are glad to sleep on cots or couches when they cannot get into a hotel. Prob ably no other city in the Terri tory has a more accutc shortage of transient housing as Fair banks this season. Plans are un- der way for one or possibly two new hotels in the city in the near future. In the meantime resi- dents are taking care of their visitors through the Housing Blu rcau.

year total spending of all the
States was more than their total
revenue. :
How the Federal money was
distributed to State governments
and individuals in the States,
through almost $50 programs, has
just been reported by the Joint
Congressional Committee on Nom
Essential Federal Expenditures,
of which Senator Byrd. Democrat.
of Virginia, is chairman. Treas

study.
State debt has been studied by
the Tax Foundation, private
non-partisan agency with head
quarters in New York, which used

Trend Changes in 1851.
In 1916 only one State went
into debt by spending more than

In the fiscal year 1851 there was
Ia slight trend toward more care

that the average citizen owed

That was in addition to the much
larger per capita Federal debt of

BY 1949 per capita State debt
