PRINTING PRICES are LOWEST Carverton Chicago Banker Shows Need Caution in Spending Tax. payers Money Would Reform Tax Method Speaking before the Internatio: Chamber of Commerce at Washing Melvin A. Traylor. President ot First National Bank of Chicago in part: Another field in which tnose respon gible for leadership must do some aard, sound think: ang it we are to woid disaster is chat of public ex- penditures. In this country, government is sup- posed to abide with the people, and yet we know that in no other field does leadership exert so great an influence upon ‘the thought and action of the people as in the political sphere. In the fifteen-year pe- riod, from 1913 to 1928, our national income was estimated to have in- creased from about 34% billion dollars to 81 billion dollars annually, or 135 per cent; in the same period the ex- penditures of all governmental divi- sions in the United States have in- creased from a little less than three billion dollars to more than 121% bil lion dollars, or approximately 300 per cent. It is perfectly true, ot course, that insofar as the Federal Government is concerned, the major part of the in- crease in that direction is accounted for by our participation in the World War; but it is interestng to observe that for the fiscal year ending in 1928, Federal expenditures were only 311% per cent of the combined outlay for Melvin Traylor all political administration in the United States. Local Expenditures Big Item Figures are not available for the years following 1928, except for the Federal Government, whose expendi- tures increased 10.7 per cent for the fiscal year ending in 1929, and 6 per cent in 1930. It may be assumed that like increases have occurred in other political subdivisions of the country. For the year ending in 1928, the cost of administration of State Govern- ments amounted to 1435 per cent of the total; of the remainder, over 54 per cent went to sustain local govern- ments. ves vin 1 ray or ASKS Luis wa = Mounting Cost of Government Naturally, these responsible for vernmeut desire to give their con-- :tuency the finest educaiivnai facili- ies, the best roads, streels, public parks, playgrounds, and other facili- “ies obtainable, but, after all, there is ienying the fact that expenditures such purposes bear a very ciuse m to the individual, 10ortgage his future earnings for able and rapidly deteriorating ’y bond issue for the public wel- is an installment debt ox .ing capacity of every individual and enterprise in the community af | fected. Not only does it involve in- | stallment amortization of the debt it- self, but a constantly increasing charge for maintenance and upkeep if the improvement is to’ be preserved against early deterioration and quick ruin, Most of the taxing machinery ot the country was created at a time when the present volume of public debt was not thought possible; and it is, there- fore, inadequately and inequitably ad- justed to meet the emergencies of the present burden. The consequences is that in almost every major political subdivision of the country certain classes of wealth escape taxation, or pay little, while other types of property are charged with an unbearable obligation. The duty of leadership, therefore, in this field is two-fold. First, and most important of all, a greater de- gree of caution must be exercised in the creation of government obliga- tions; and, second, an immediate re- form in taxing machinery must be un- dertaken. Effects of “Federal Aid” In connecton with the creation of indebtedness, it is high time that those responsible for State adminis- tration consider, the pernicious and seductive influence of so-called Fed- eral aid for public improvements. In many instances, this policy of public expenditure approaches close- ly to political bribery and in almost every case, lends itself to political log-rolling, the surrender of state sov- ereignty, and a gradual impoverish- ment of fiscal units. Moreover, we have said nothing of the proposal and promotion of undertakings which in many instances are not justified by the necessity of the situation or by the utilization of the facilities contem- plated. Let there be no mistake in this respect. Let us face the facts, Unless there is a return to sanity in the matter of public expenditures, default and re- pudiation of public obligations cannot | be much longer avoided. USTY tomatoes are old friends —tried and true—and the longer one knows them the more fine things one discovers about them. That is the reason the tomato canning industry has grown 100 per cent. in the last twenty-two years. Long ago, people found out to- matoes were appetizing and good. Then they found out they were healthful. When decorative tables came into vogue, tomatoes were discovered to be one of the most decorative of foods. And, recently, sclence has discovered an addi- tional health value to the many already established ones in toma- toes—the fact that they not only contain an abundance of iron but they contain a vitamin which aids THE DALLAS POST in getting iron from other foods. And, every day, dietitians are discovering delectable new ways to serve tomatoes. A Tested Recipe Tomato Rarebit with Eggs: Stew three cups of canned toma- toes, one-fourth teaspoon soda, one and one-half teaspoons salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper for five minutes. Press through a sieve. Add threg tablespoons of flour and three tablespoons of cold water smoothed together, and stir until: it thickens. Add ome and one-half cups of grated cheese, and stir until melted. Slice eight hard-cooked eggs over. buttered toast and pour over the sauce. because Centremoreland | BILL THE BARBER Mrs. Frank Major, 72, died at her 4 home at Centermoreland at noon Tues- : day, March 8.
