Despite all this, Btate governments as a whole are financing within income, and are in better financial condition at the end of 1937-3- 8 fiscal year on June 30 than at the end of the preceding fiscal year. Only six of the 48 states show budget deficits, according to the compilation of statistics gathered from all the state capitols. It has been no easy period for state governments either. Declining revenues and higher costs for relief have been more than balanced by these local governments by economies effected, by extending the tax base, and putting new taxes into operation. A most interesting feature too is the fact that most states are coming to depend less upon taxes on real property, and more on income, sales, and similar levies. The trend evidently among the state governments is toward the go system, spending being confined to a scale within revenue exiectations. That same trend is forcing itself upon municipal governments. Only in the federal field do we seem to think the sky is the limit, and that somehow the money can be found. The moral is, if there is anything moral about it, that the nearer taxes come to the people, the less we like them. We have become obsessed with the idea that indirect taxes" soak the rich, and we common folk escape. However this same government economist points out that only 43 people out of the 130,000,000 of us in United States had incomes in excess of a million dollars in 1937. Their aggregate income was $73,000,000. Well, if we had taken every cent of their earnings as taxes the total would hardly have paid the expenditures of the federal government two days. There is no doubt about it taxes and deficits are paid in the sweat and labor of the average citizen. pay-as-y- ou FINISHING KODAK .

A lesson in governmental operation is furnished these days by figures compiled by a government economist recently. Thirteen months from now, according to the slide rule calculations of this government economist, the national debt of the federal government will be in excess of 43 billions of dollars double what it was five years ago. For the fiscal year 1939, beginning July 1, next, congress has authorized the expenditure of 12.5 billions, six billion of which will lie deficit financed". Breaking this vast sum down, it is found that during fiscal 1939 the federal government will spend $1,027,397,250 a month; $34,246,575 every day; $1,426,-94- 0 each hour; $23,728 every minute; or $396 every Friday, July NEWS VALLEY Co.
