- PATERNALISM LAD T0 WORLD CONFLLCT Enormous Growth in Cost of Government Witnessed Since War. Note—This is the second of a series of articles on .paternalism and trends in that direction in gov- ernment. BY ASHMUN BROWN. *It was the war!"” That is quite as good an excuse as any for the increasing tendency of the American people to rely on government t> perform services they once per- formed for themselves. In war time government takes on an infinits num- ber of duties that in time of peace are left to the citizens, and this in- stills the paterpalistic idea into tke public mind. Since the war the Gov- ernment has grown tremendously in all its branches, mational, State and local. At first the major growth was in local and State govermments. Their costs mounted prodigiously, education and good roads accounting for much of the addition, while interest on ‘bonds issued to pay for roads and other improvements also climbed at a time the Pederal Government was making sharp decreases in its expenditures. Now a new phase of the develop- ment makes itself apparent. State and local authorities have almost ex- hausted their resources of revenue raising. Their taxpayers groan and protest under the burden. Thus the suu authorities and the e turn anew to Washington for financial help. ve witnessed their local and Federal Government Bwldfly has been reducing its own—up this year, when the equivalent of an ndvmu Was noted, incident to the Federal Govern- ment's inability to carry along g:"rp reduction i;: ‘”"?;'Qf tax taxpayers enjoyed year. Moreover, the high Federal taxes and the post-war od had the appearance at least, if not the actuality, of being less burden- some than the taxes imposed by au- thorities nearer home. The belief has grown that Uncle Sam can wrest a dollar out of the taxpayers with less pain to them than local and State au- thorities can wrest one. 2,465,385 Pay Imcome Tax.

They, in the last analysis, must bear the burden of increasing govern- ‘ment aids and taxes. It is not the rich ‘who suffer, When we take employment and taxes from our people, it is the poor who suffer.” Prof. John Dewey, president of the .n-uued People’s Lobby, mvu a meas- tire of recognition to the fact. “Under our present tax system, Federal, State and local,” he declares, “the major pan of all government rev- e.nlle is paid by the masses.” In the next breath he insists” that the taxing power be used to “effect re- finbumm by means of larger taxa- of swollen incomes and by heavier death duties on large fortunes,” disre- g’.rdlncm the implication of his first dec- n. Taxation Not Cure . Contemplation of the facts regarding the huge advance in cost of govern- ment and in “taxation in America,” ver, does not bear out the theory t the cure for economic, and social ummunwon In the days when taxation was lower and government less obtrusive in private affairs,”there was less unemployment than exists now, according to statements regarding un- employment conditions made by the ad- Yocates of more taxes. This would seem to support President Hoover in his contention that it is the poor who must bear the burden of in- creasing government costs. ‘The extent to which government costs have grown can best be illustrated by an examination of statistics, which sthow that, while the population of the United States has grown only 26.8 per cent since 1913, costs of government, local, State and National, have grown in the same period more than 345 per cent. They 'have more than tripled, while the population has grown far less than one-third. ‘The combined costs of government. in 1913, according to exhaustive studies made by the National Industrial Con- ference Board several years ago, were| 'BELLEGARDE WITNESS DECORATION, DECLA Col.

Commissioner Doran said an even Nr nulnber of deaths, believed due to flar ciuse, were under investi- nnon. but 208 already had been cer- tified through an elaborate survey of State uflch[’ and corones. ‘The investigation has been under way for months to determine whnhl there was improper handiing of completely denatured alcohol, made under Govern- ment supervision. “Where we found hetween nfludls neither of which are under Gov trol” Used Deadly Mixture.

A spirited Haitle over the relative merits of the old-fashioned nightshirt and a palr of pajamas has broken out “off the record” in the dignified group of public health suthorities gathered in two different organizations at the Wil- lard Hotel from all parts of North America, The issue, brought in from South Carolina and from Massachusetts, threatened today to involve also an argument over the wearing of men’s underwear, according to Dr. James A. Hayne of South Carolina, but the “B. V. D. racket,” he charged, was merely “guerilla warfare” compared to the fight between the pajamas and the nightshirts. ‘The fight is expecied to break out into the open Thursday afternoon at the close of official sessions of the Twenty-ninth Annual Conference of State and Territorial Health Officers with the United States Public Health Service, and the Forty-sixth Annual Conference of State and Provincial Health Authorities of North America.
