CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES
Blame for the mounting cost of
government fa the United States
rests almost entirely upon State and
local government*, rather than the
Federal administration, according to
Ogden L. Mills, now eeacretary of
the Treasury. Between 1924 and
1929 coat of government increased
more than $2,000,000,000. "Of thi*
hags increase," he aay*, "only $200,-
000,000 ia represented' by the increased coat of Federal government,
the balance being entirely accounted
for by increases fa State and local
taxes." Local governments have expended "a great deal more than
their current revenues permitted and
IB*** financed the difference hy borrowing on a wholesale ecale." The
only effective means of checking
governmental waste fa the states and
cities, says Mr. Mills, is in ail aroused public opinion which will insist
upon economy.
