in a manner similar to that pro
poses, and block grants function
in a manner similar to that pio
posed in tax-shaung legislation,
Therefoie, we can assume that
a look at how these block grant
programs are woiking might pro
vide some idea of the possible
success of tax-sharing plans.
I must frankly admit to being
disturbed by the failure of the
states to propei ly utilize the
block grant approach in several
instances. Specifically, I feel the
administration in the states of
the Crime Control and Safe
Streets Act of 1968 has failed to
provide much encouragement
that officials at that level can de
teimine puonties
The states have used the block
grant money in the Safe Stieets
Act primal ily to build a new lay
er of bureauciacy It is extieme
ly doubtful that additional bur
eaucrats add up to bettei crime
fighting When funds have been
distnbuted, a pei capita basis
often has been used that ignores
the concentration of dime in
urban areas and favois iiual and
suburban sections where crime
is at a minimum For instance.
Mayor Tate, of Philadelphia,
claims that only 7 peicent of
the total planning giant received
by Pennsylvania went to his city.
Philadelphia accounts for 25 per
cent of the major crimes in the
Commonwealth
The implementation of the
Safe Streets Act in the states
does not serve as a good omen
for tax-sharing plans in the fu
ture. The basic element of effec
tive definition and administra
tion by the officials in charge has
not seemed to emerge Serious
doubts have arisen about futher
distribution of Federal funds in
a like manner.
In the first newsletter I dis
tributed in the 16th District I
made the following statement
about tax-sharing;
“With a new source of ever
increasing revenue with no
strings attached —the states will
be better able to meet contem
porary problems such as crime,
urban renewal, welfare and edu
cation They would no longer
have to look to Washington to
settle problems that they fully
recognize but theietofoie could
do nothing about for want of
funds The rebirth in the ability
of the states to handle their own
problems would serve to return
the Federal-State scheme to its
pi oper perspective and balance ”
My fundamental belief still rests
along those lines, but the ex
peuence with the Safe Streets
Act hardly inspires greater en
thusiasm I would hope that the
mistakes will be corrected, or it
is almost certain that some other
means for decentralizing govern
ment money will have to be
f 01 mutated.
