Melvin Tray lor Asks Curb on Mounting Cost of Government . Chicago Banker Shows Need of Caution in Spending Tax payers' Money ? ^fould Reform Tax Methods |fc'Spoalcing before the International ^Chamber of Commerce at Washington, Melvin A. Traylor, President of the Ffrst National Bank of Chicago, Bald In part: Another field in which those respon sible for leadership must do some hard, sound think ing if wo aro to avoid disaster is that of public ex penditures. In this country, government is sup posed to abldo with the people, and yet wo know that in no other field docs leadership exert bo great an influence upon ttio thought Melvln Traylor tllid acticil of tho pooplo as in tho political sphere. In tho fifteen-year pe riod, from 1913 (o 102S,' our national incanio was estimate*! to have in creased from about I! 1 : ? billion dollars* to 81 billion dollars annually, or l3f> per oont; in ti.j same rc-riod t ho ex- ( pendi'ures of all governmental divi sions in tho I'nllcd States have in creased from a little laps than three billion dollars to mr.ro than 1 2 1 '? bil lion dollars, or approximately 300 per cent. It is perfectly true. ot coarse, that insifar cs tho Federal Government is concerned, tk"> in.: ;.:r part of the in crer.ae in that ilir..?*! n is accounted for by our j a , t 'ilpalion in the World Wcr; but it is in' erasing to observe thai for the fiscal ye.'ir ending in 102S, Federal expenditures .were only 31H per cent of the com'.jincd outlay for all political administration in the United States. Local -ExptndlLures Big Item Figures are not available for the jJbnrs following 1928, except for the Fc'sial Government, whose expendi tures increased 10.7 per cent for the flsc .1 year ending in 1020, and 6 per cent in 10,10. It may be assumed that like Increases have occurred in other political subdlvislona of the country. For the year ending In 1928, tho ront of administration of State Govern ments amounted to 14% per cent of the totnl; of the remainder, over 54 per cent went to sustain local govern ments. Naturally, thoso responsible for government desire to give their con stituency the finest educational facili ties, the beat roads, streets, public parks, playgrounds, aud other facili ties obtainable, but, after all, there is no denying the fact that expenditures for such purposes bear a very close relation to the Individual, because thoy mortgage his future earnings for consumable and rapidly deteriorating goods. Every bond lssuo for tho public wel fare Is an .installment debt on the earning capacity of every individual and enterprise in tho community af foctccl. Not only does it Involve in stallment amortization oj tho debt it self, but a constantly Increasing churgo for maintenance and upkeep if tho Improvement is to be preserved against early deterioration and quick ruin. Most of tho taxing machinery of the country was created at a time when tho present volumo of public debt was not thought possible; and It Is, there fore, Inadequately and Inequitably ad justed to meet tho emergencies of tho present harden. Tho consequences 13 that In almost every major political subdivision of tho country certain classes of wealth escape taxation, or pay little, while other types of property are charged with an unbearable obligation. The duty of leadership, therefore, in tills field is two-fold. First, and moat Important of all, a greater de gree of caution must be exercised in tho creation of government obliga tions; and, second, an immediate re form in taxing machinery must be un dertaken. Effects of "Federal Aid" Tn connecton with the creation of Indebtedness, it is high time that those responsible for State adminis tration consider the pernicious rind seductive influence of so-called Fed eral aid for public improvements. In many instances, this pilicy of public expenditure approaches close ly to political bribery and in almost every case, lends itself to political log-rolling, tho surrender of state sov ereignty, and a gradual impoverish ment of fiscal units. Moreover, we have said nothing of the proposal and promotion of undertakings which in many instances are not justified by the necessity of tl>A riluntion or by the utilization of the facilities cor.!. em ulated. Let there he no mistake in this respect. Let us face the facts. ITnleas there Is a return to fianity In the matter of public expenditures, default and re pudiation of public obligations cannot bo much longer avoided.
