stronger than the sum of its parts.
Third, the combined debt of all of
the 4S states today is only $40 bill
lion compared to the Federal debt
of s273 billion,
Nevertheless. it is true that the
States could and would build more
schools except for one thing. The
Federal Government today has COB
bled up practically every source Of
revenue. 1t takes nearly every sale.
service and commodity. The States
have little left to tax except proper
ty and incmoe. and even in that
category, billions OF dollars annu-
ally are siphoned out of the States
in Federal individual and corpor-
ated income taxes. A Federal aid
program would require additional
Federal tax revenue which would
further aggravate this situation.
1.-The Federal Governmnt can
give to the States nothing which
it does not first take from the citi-
zens of the States, and the amount
it gives is the difference between
what it takes and what 1t costs to
administer the program-costs of
new employees. office facilities,
paper work. postage, telephone. ira
vel, etc. 1t has been estimated that
this overhead expense is at least
30-35% Of toal appropriations.
IT have introduced a bill which
will Cd save these overhead ex-
penses, CD preclude the danger of
Federal control over education and
CD enable the individual States
to build their own schools with
money collected from their own citi-
zens in accordance with their own
Judgment. My bill provides in part
as follows:
THAT per cent of all income
taxes collected on individual
and corporated incomes under
Federal statutes shall be deemed
to be revenue for the State or
Territory within which it is COL
lected, for use, for educational
purposes only, without any Fed
eral direction, control, or inter-
ference
1.-The District Directors of Inter-
nal Revenue are directed to trans
fer this money to the State Treas
urer Thereafter, no Federal Off
cial would have any control over it.
It would be spent under the ex-
elusive Jurisdiction and control of
State officials for educational pur-
poses. There is ample legal prece-
dent for my bill. For instance. in
Public Law $50 passed by the 81st
Congress, all Federal income taxes
collected from American citizens
in Guam are turned over to the
Government of Guam.
I'm Fiscal Year 1854, the FEEDER
al Government collected from all
the States and Territories in in
come taxes total of $58,578, 533 900.
Under my bill, $685., TBS, $3.50 would
be returned to the States for school
purposes every year SO long as
needed. This is $185, 785 $3.50 more
than the Federal aid program cur
rently under consideration provides.
This loss of revenue to the Federal
treasury would not be loss to the
taxpayers of the States. Indeed,
when you consider the overhead ex-
pense of Federal administration of
the program, it would be a gain. In
any event it would be a cheap
price to pay for the blessing of local
control"
Nnder my plan, Virginia's per-
cents, based on 1854 income taxes
paid to the Federal Government,
would be $6,414,30 Under the Fee
eral-Aid plan, Virginia would get
