THE BURDLEN OF TAXES
Beiore the war ine governmenn oi
the United States spent about one bil
tion dollars o year for all purposes,
inciuding interest on the public debt,
[u the fiseal year ending June 30, 1920,
the first full fiscal year after fighting
stopped, the government spent in
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiseal year 1921,
that is, up to June 30, 1921, it spent
$5,115,927,680.30, und in the fiscal year
of 1922, which will end on June 36,
1922, it will spend more than four bil
lon dollars, says Secretary Mellon of
the Treasury Depuartment.
These figures include interest on the
publi¢ debt which amounts to about
one billion dollars, but include noth
ing for ginking fund or other debt re
demption. Including both interest and
~sinking fund, the government will
spend more than four times as much
the fiseal year 1922 as it speng yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are a part of the price of vie
tory. Your whole present problem is
to curtail thewn, It concerns you to
know just bow these immense sums
were gathered and how much you paid
and are paying toward them, for of
course we, the tax payers, the men and
women.with jobs, the men and women
who have what the census calls gain
ful occupations, paid every cent of it.
It was our money until the govern
ment took it.
Let us examine the tiseal year 1920,
I have not the deiailed account for
1921, but it was stightly less than the
vear previons, as the year ending June
30, 1922, will be a slightly less burden
on us than the year preceding. Ac
cording to a careful analysis made by
the late Dr. K. B. Rosu, of the United
States bureau of stundards, a govern
ment scientist who was deeply and in
telligently interestod in the subject,
every man, woman and child in this
country contributes an average of
fifty-three dollars in taxes to the sup
port of the national government. Ac
tually it is nearer fifty-four than fifty
three dollars, but I am taking the
smaller sum for the sake of the round
number. That is, the average family
of five persons pays $265 a year out
of its earnings to the federal govern
ment alone, in addition to what is
pald for state, county and clty taxes.
The estimated avernge yearly income
of a family of five is something more
than §7OO. But before any of that $7OO
is spent $265 must be turned over to
the general government to run the
business of the United States,
The actunl amount that ench one of
us paid was $53.77. We paid it through
the medium of internal revenue taxes
and customs duties on imported ar
ticles divided as follows:

The taxpayer is next of kin to the
treasury. At any rate he 1s the first
person notified when the treasury
needs money, and he always has to dig
down into his jeans for whatever is
needed. Taxpaying, even more than
charity, begins at home. The boy's
best friend is his mother, but the tax
payer's only friend is hlmself. The
only thing that can be done for him is
to disclose as vividly as possible how
much his government is costing and
let him decide what he will do about
it. It all comes down to this: The
more money the government spends
through defective organization or ex
travagance, the less you have to spend
or save.
So much for the cost of the national
business we support. We are all mi
nority stockholders. The concern has
no other source of revenue than our
contributions. It doesn't make any
money. In times 'ike these, when al
most everybody feels that he gets too
little for what he sells and has to pay
too much for what he buys, it seems
to me the least we can do is to take
an active and inielligent interest in
this great common énterprise of ours
and make sure that it is well organ
fzed: that it doesn't waste or spend
extravagantly ; that the employees are
paifl. an adequate wage and have
proper working conditions; that their
morale is kept high und their enthu
siasm in our interest uunbated ; in fine,
that as a business it shall be conduct
ed as efficiently and economically and
on as modern scientific principles as
any large private business.
Is it? .
