IL gait Lakt debt What does it of $41,500,000,000! mean? I was staggered, National as probably you I Debt were, the other 'day when the morning newspapers blazoned forth in black headlines they should have been printed in red ink that by next June 30 the American government will owe a total of $41,500,000,000. I knew from all of the spending that is going on these days that the national debt was going higher in the fiscal year that started with the opening of July; the debt had to increase because of the lavish use of money voted by congress under the lash of President Roosevelt. But when I saw the revised estimates" officially issued by the bureau of the budget, somehow I was startled, amazed. The implications are so many that the magnitude of this debt simply has overwhelmed mfc. But there it is. Forty billions and a half which Uncle Sam will owe when the spenders get through wasting, chiseling, finding spots where federal loans or new projects or just plain pork barrel distribution of money drain dollars from the federal treasury. After the first impact of this news wore off, I began to look around to see what it means. What does it mean to me, I wondered. And to you? The first thought that I haa naturally was: how is this money going to be paid back to those from whom it was borrowed by Uncle Sam? Everyone knows, of course, that the federal government has only two ways to get funds by taxation or by borrowing. The fact that borrowed money must be repaid means, of course, that there is only one way by which we can expect the government to obtain funds. oodles of There must be taxes taxes. Or, the government must do that which every person abhors, refuse to pay its debts. That is repudiation, default, becoming a dead- beat. Heretofore, this thing called the national debt has been more or less something way off in the distance from cue. I could not be too much concerned, personally, how much the federal government owed, except that I realized some portion of it was going to come out of my own earnings while I am trying to pay for education of my two boys, keep my household running and buy those things which my wife enjoys. I figured, of course, that I would be working a part of each year to pay back the money that is being borrowed now. But someway I did not get excited about the whole thing until this latest set of government statistics was released by Acting Director Daniel Bell, of the budget bureau. I learned from the treasury that right now the per capita national debt amounts to $285.70. That is to say, without any more borrowing or spending, each man, woman and child in the United States, whether he knows it or not, has been obligated by his national government to that extent. Well, President Roose-.ve- lt says there will be an increase of $3,485,000,000 in the national debt between now and next June 30. That means an increase in the per capita debt, obviously. So when you do a little figuring you will find that by next June 30, the federal government will owe almost $320 for each of us who claims the United States as our country. - Having calculated what each person has beei obligated by his government to pay, I Each State pursued the ing further to discover what each states share of this huge national debt is. The tabulation that appears herewith is the result. It gives the name of each state and that states proportionate share of the Your state records do not show the amounts as a direct debt; your state legislature did not vote the bonds which were sold in creating the debt, but the fact remains that if it became necessary for each person to pay his share, your state would pay the amount here set down. figur-Sha- $41,500,-000,00- re 0.

There are numerous agencies of the government that are empowered to borrow money on their own bonds institutions like the Reconstruction Finance corporation and the Home Owners Loan corporation and the Commodity Credit corporation. It seems to me that when those agencies borrow money, the federal government becomes liable in event the federal agency is not able to pay, and the total of those loans appears to be in the neighborhood of $6,000,000,000. Since most people regard the federal government as having a contingent liability, tfiere is some ground for including that total which would make the grand total of the national debt in excess of and each states share would be correspondingly higher. $47,000,-000,00- 25 c ttl .tamp.

As a result of a study of 3,000 farms in selected counties in 40 states, according to William L. Austin, director of the census, many new and surprising facts" along this line have been discovered. Among those which have hitherto not been called to the attention of the public," he said, are the high proportion of farmers who have outside income, the relatively high average return for such farm operators equal to about of the average income from the farms themselves, and the difference between the incomes of those making farming their principle occupation and those whose principal occupation is banking, keeping store, professional service and the like." For the 975 farmers out of the 3,000 in the sample survey who reincome, Mr. Ausported tin continued, a total of such income of $458,522 was reported, or an average of $573 per farm.

That is what this nation has been doing. I do not know how much longer it can continue to spend, to waste money in pump priming. It seems to me that the end will have to come very soon, or people will refuse to buy bonds issued by the treasury. The banks are loaded up with them now; loaded so much that Sen. Carter Glass, the veteran Virginia member of the senate, several times has said he feared what might happen if bond prices declined. Fundamentally, there can be no doubt of the need to spend money to feed the destitute. On the other hand, can there be any justification at all for spending billion after billion in building post offices, national guard armories, etc., when there is none but borrowed money with which to do it? Every time an Additional dollar is spent unnecessarily, the future taxes on you and me, our children and our childrens children are pledged to the payment of the debt. Pause to consider what it means. If we calculated the average interest on the debt at 3 per cent (which I believe to be fair), we find that if the nation pays off the current debt in 100 years, the taxes will have to be increased 33 per cent over 1938 in order to do it. If, as further example, the debt is to be paid off in 50 years, the current tax rates will have to be increased by 38 per cent over that entire period. Those statements assume that we will not increase the general cost of government over what it is now and that tax receipts will be as high or higher. It is apparent that spending must stop, or our nation is going to be as much of a bum, even in our estimation, as the most lowly hobo who eats from a tin can and steals a ride on the rods of a freight car. aad Coin FOCAL8COPK Halt Lake Cttv THE Main N What is the reason for this gigantic debt?
