Separ- ations in 1921, the appropriations for | new boards and commissions created ‘since 1915, as follows: | Transportation, Coata Held BURDENS TOLD | BY OFFICIAL + i) >: “Big Factor by C. 0..Con- “sSyverse, Rotarian BOND ISSUES COUNT Reducing taxes reminds State Tax | youngster who had. to write an es- , Say on a subject of his own choosing. His essay subject was, “The Snakes} of Ireland,” and the essay was “There | are none.” Similarly declared Mr. + Converse speaking before the Bis- marck Rotarians, it should be pos- sible to discuss the reduction of tax- es by merely saying—“There is no way of reducing taxes.” “There is, in truth, no way of re- ducing taxes as long as all units of government continue the enormous expenditures, which they are now making,” continued the commission- er. “If you chance to be interested chiefly in farming, you know that taxes on farm lands are too high. It your interest is chiefly in city busi- ness property, you are well aware If you are engaged in the ‘management of a railway or other public utility you know that the_taxes.vpon such property. are out of proportion to the net income. The truth is, that taxes are too high upon all classes of property, nor is it pos- sible to lighten the burden of taxa- tion upon any class of property by inventing new taxes to shift the bur- den to.other classes. We are using nearly-every known kind of tax and are exacting from. all classes of tax- payers more than they should reas- onably be required to pay. “Why-:is it that governmental units are spending so much money? Time will not permit any extended analysis of the subject, but let me make mention of a current impres- sion which seems to prevail among thinking men of good general infor- mation, namely, the impression that high taxes are due to a large in- " crease in the number of new boards, commissions and officials. Appropriations Rise. -“In our ‘office, we have been un- der the impression that such is not the true explanation of high taxes, and therefore, I have taken the time to look into the matter briefly. The appropriations made by the 1915 legislature for the two year period was $3,403,914. The appropri- ation°made by the 1921 legislature was $7,981,382—thus considerably more than doubling in the space of six years. These figures include only ate now, from the general appropri- ..$ 1,000 ' State Humane Society .. 10,000 State coal mine inspector...

Industrial Commi 4. - $74,390 “In other words the new commis- ; Total j sions I have enumerated were re- sponsible for only one and seven- i teriths. per cent of the increase in, } general fund apropriations. . Two | other new commissions receive small | appropriations from the general fund. One is the Soldiers’ Compensation | department of the adjutant’s gen- eral's office—appropriation $15,000, |} and:‘the other is the War History | Commission — appropriation $4,800. | Thése should be considered separate- fly because outgrowths of the war | and: only temporary in their nature. Even if added ta other appropria- i tions I have already mentioned, all | of them would not account for more | than:about 2 per cent of the total six years increase in general fund ap- ‘ propriations. |” “Stated, in another way, the per! | capita burden of these appropria- | tions for new commissions, exclusive | of the two growing out of the war, | is Jegs than 12c¢ as compared with a total fer capita tax burden for state, county school district, city, village and township purposes of $48.57. Taxes for our’ public schools repre- ‘sent about 45 per cent of the total ‘tax burden, taxes for county pur- | poses represent 24 per cent of the | total, for township purposes about |91-2 per cent and those for state | purposes, about 15 per cent of the total, so that if it were possible tu | reduce by one-fourth state taxes, the | reduction would amount to less than ‘4 per cent of the total tax burden. \ Other Appropriations. | What I have said refers to general | ‘fund ‘appropriations and includes all | | the appropriations which are paid | from revenues derived through gen- jeral taxation. There are other ap- | propriations of special funds not raised by general taxation which | would have to be included in a com-| | prehensive treatment of the subject. |For instance, the appropriations in |.1921'to the State Highway Commis- sion was $300,000. This is made from the Motor Vehicle Registration fund. Similarly the sum of $51,900 was ap- propriated to the department oi state oil inspector and is met by rev- enue derived from oil tax collected | from those who handled gasoline and |kerosene in wholesale quantities. |The burden is, of course, passed on |to the ultimate consumer. Both of | these appropriations have grown rap- | j idly through the six year period with | the increasing use of automobiles. | Another instance of an appropria- | tion from a special-fund, is the ap-| | propriations to the Game and Fish | } Commission in the amount of $97,000, | | the fund being derived from hunting {and fishing licenses. , ~ “{ have said enough to indicate that/no. perceptible relief from the | erty tax would result from abolishing all of the recently constituted state commissions, an attempt to analyze the cause of mounting public expenditures. A”few comments, however, might be sug- that ‘taxes upon such property are| gestive of further study. ready said that the per capita tax burden in the state, for all govern- mental units is $47.57, and if in ad- dition to that, you consider that. the revenues collected by the national government amounts to approximate- ly $54.00 per capital for the entire population of the United States, and that railroad companies collect. tran- sportation proximately to $59.00 per capita, and consider too, that the average fam- ily consists of about five individuals, it is readily seen that a large por- tion of the entire cost of liivng is represented by these three items. er price level which, to my mind, is largely responsible, for the increase in the cost of government. If we go one step farther and inquire the rea- gon for increase in prices, I think it will be found, largely, if not chiefly due to transportation }- charges. eral rate increases since 1915, and the total increase has been extreme- burden. of transportation which hurts, but it is, the fact that increased transportation charges add to the prices of everything. we have Out of Tune | Vera Forbes, Follies beauty, is seeking at Chicago @ divorce from her husband, Raymond W: Klages, gong writer, asserting his artistic temperament annoys her, Time will not permit Finds Their Breeding Grounds T have al- charges amounting ap- Comparison Made. “A comparison of appropriations made in 1915 and in 1921 respective- ly for all branches of state govern- ‘ment and. all whether penal or charitable, and for all other purposes will show a large increase in nearly every instance. This: applies to all offices, including those in existence since statehood. A similar increase is found in taxes levied by cities, counties and school districts. careful analysis of the causes of these increases, I think it will be. found that the’ increase in govern- mental expenditures, has in no small measure, kept pace with the increase in price levels of commodities. Gove ernment costs have been increased by the same factors which have in- creased the cost of running your bus- iness, As prices have increased, the cost of commodities purchased by all departments of government, includ- ing all state institutions, has corre- state institutions, While I have not made a spondingly increased. Further, as the price level has gone constantly higher the cost of living has ad- vanced and consequently wages re- quired to be paid’in schools, in all public offices, and in all institutions have inereased.

In other. words, high transportation charges stand as a barrier between the producer and consumer. Charges Multiplied. “Those who have studied the sub- ject, state (how accurately I do not know), that the increase in freight rates is multiplied by. five in the process of being passed onto the ul- timate consumer. In other words, our business processes are so intri-. cate and our method of distribution includes so many shipments of each article and of the materials. which enter into it, and. require handling by so many agencies that, if freight rates are increased by $1,000,000, the increase amounts to $5,000,000 by the time it reaches the ultimate consum er. However that may be, we know that prices of ‘commodities and the cost of living are vastly higher than cost of government can not be mate- rially reduced until commodity prices are materially lower unless we are willing to modify the high standards of service which we have set up and which we demand from, school dis- tricts, counties and other govern- mental units.« “It should be recognized also that = \ Damage.done to houses.

The result. was that the vari- ous units of government found them- selves possessed ‘of authority to raise by taxation much larger amounts of revenue than formerly, and this situation, doubtless, induced a Jack. of conservation in some in- stances. It has been my purpose | merely to follow the trail of high | - taxes to what appear to be the chief } causes thereof, and it then becomes a fit subject for political discussion as to whether it is possible to remove these causes and if so, how it is to be done.” DR. SCHMIDT | GIVES EELS LIFE HISTORY Between the Bermudas and Leeward Islands MAKE VERY ,LONG TRIPS ; (ay the Associated Press), -) 5 Washington, « July. 726.—The com- mon, everyday, mudhole eel, - the problem of fishermen, espécially the small boy, when it comes to taking him off a hook, is an‘elusive sub- ject, but his life history’ typifies one of the marvels of the sea, and'teeent announcements have added’ to hi reputation.

As the eel industry is of prime importance in Denmark, the party was equipped by the government and several so- cieties in conjunction. Dr. Schmidt has been making a special study of the eel for more than fifteen years. Since at least 360 B, C. scientista have been trying to find the eel’s birthplace, and by tracking down the route found taken by the young eels, Dr. Schmidt placed the breeding | grounds between the Bermudas and the Leeward Islands, where the sea reaches a depth of more than a mile. Here the most remarkable discov- ery was made: that the European species. and the American, which vary so slightly as to bé almost neg- ligible, and absolutely so to the lay- man, breed side by side-and event: ually start for, their later homes, thousands of miles away, but neither variety ever gaes to the other’s fresh water grounds.
