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.

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

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.
