For ex- ample, in Cook County. [lli- nois, outside the limits of Chicago, there were, in 1930, 9 cities, 76 vil- lages, 30 town- ships, 192; school districts. 30 park dis- tricts, 40 road and bridge districts, 2 sanitary districts, and enough addi- | tional subdivisions of government to aggregate 415 separate, independent taxes and borrow money.

The Federal Government em- ployed largely indirect taxes, such | as customs duties and internal rev- enue taxes, while the state and local | governments made use principally of t general property tax, with a lim: ited use of excise ta: dice! taxes, fees, etc. At the present time, in order to use is made by the national and state gov- ernments of income, inheritance, and ' internal excise taxes; and did the Federal Constitution not forbid, the states would probably impose cus- toms duties on imports, so frantic are their efforts to find new sources of revenue. With respect to incomes, the Fed- eral Government taxes both personal and corporate incomes, as do two- thirds of the states. There are nu- merous and ill-conceived variations with respect to rates, exemptions, de- | ductions, and the like. Death duties in the form of inheritance or estate taxes are levied by the Federal Gov- ernment and by all the states with one exception. State inheritance tax- ation is characterized by the same ;: absence of uniformity as in the case | of income taxation. Excise taxes are employed also by the Federal Gov- ernment, the states, and local gov- ernments. The gasoline tax, which , Central R.

A tax on tobacco is collected by the Federal Government and by about two-fifths of the states. Recent- ly a flood of retail sales taxes, general | turnover taxes, etc.. has swept over the country. These taxes are not based on the principle of ability to pay, but what's the difference?—any- thing to raise money to satisfy the many demands on government treas- uries. The tax inflictions of our vari- | ous governments have been appro- priately described as “comparable in number ard bitterness to the plagues | sent upon Egypt.” The time has passed when Federal, state, and local governments may be allowed to go their separate competi- tive ways in dealing with the prob- lem of taxation. At this rate the flood of taxes will soon inundate the coun- | try as effectively as the floods inun- dated many eastern cities in the spring of this year.
