In- . tention is to have it paid off in about 20 years. Me ntime, state and local governments continue in the Ker direction, deeper into debt. In 1912 they had a com- vcd debt, totaling the whole country, of 3882 million dol- Now it’s about three times as big. Keep an eye on | nding by Congress, but don’t forget local tax-eaters. At the recent election, taxpayers approved 500 million * worth of new bond issues. Largely for needed im- ‘vements, to be true. But is it fair to continue piling up: voitgage burden for future generations? High time to :N paying as we go. Debts cf national, state and local governments now total i: tenth of the entire national wealth of America. Paying n on this mortgage is a big factor in cost of living.
