ROGER BABSON (Continued from Page Two) to fall into a shocking state of dis- repair. This condition is often dan- gerous to life and limb, and also creates fire hazards. Some of our proudest municipal- ities are limping along with obso- lete residential and business street lighting. Run-down parks and ath- letic fields are all too - common sights. Even city halls, which should be the focal point of community pride as well of community activity, are often inadequate as to capacity and down-at-the-heel in appearance. The Increase of Taxes When taxes on real estate and personal property were first broach- ed in the United States as the basis of municipal revenue, tax dollars were spent chiefly on streets, street lighting, parks, athletic fields, and buildings for the proper transaction of public business. In more recent years demand for public - welfare projects financed by city govern- ment is becoming more insistent. Funds for their maintenance are older and sometimes more basic services. In some cities, protective services are being cut. Even fire alarm systems are not being ade- quately maintained or extended. I do not blame the cities entirely for the evils which have befallen them. I well realize that local gov- ernments today do not receive near- ly so large a share of our total tax dollars as before World War IIL Cities are feeling keenly the adverse effects of our sharply graduated in- come tax. The more it costs to run the national government, the hard- er it is for local governments to raise needed funds. So the cities look increasingly to federal and state grants-in-aid to pull them through. 1 forecast that such a policy will prove to be very short- sighted. Increased central municipal con- trol or inspection encourages waste ahd results in a heavier over-all city tax load. Economy alone can which will lead to true progress; but what are the chances for such economies? For politicians to bribe and to buy, votes with dollar bills is now illegal; but these same poli- ticians are free to “bribe” voters by promising more aid to’ the unem- ployed, to the aged, to mothers and others. Much of the legislation to “protect” plumbers, carpenters, painters, and even barbers is merely bribery to get the votes of these groups. It is supposed to be enacted to protect the public; but the public should be made to pay directly for such “protection.” No portion of such increased costs for inspectors and others should be added to taxes. If this welfare work continues to increase, city sales taxes are in- evitable. . | | Always A * Paint, White Wall Tires 52 DeSoto da Seam. Baio : Htr. m.
