Friday, May 13, 1932 Government-?-A Spendthrift During the past ten years, , ness managers have constantly stressed the fad that expenditures of federal, state and local government* were increasing faster than national growth, national wealth and national prosperity. Thoughtful citizens who dared to protest against continuously increasing governmental extravagance, were classed as alarmists V?' as obstructors of good government. in the meantime, expenditure of public tax funds increased by leaps and bounds. Governmental bureaus and activities expanded in every direction. Bonds were issued freely for all manner of public improvements. As a result, wo row face a stagger-1 ing public debt and a back-breaking tax burden. The cost of government now consumes about 14 billion dollars annually, or more than one-fifth of the national income. Every citizen, whether he knows it or not, now labors one day each week for the support of government. It is no longer necessary to point out that the cost of government is beyond the ability of the people to pay. A business depression has] brought that fact home with brutal j force. The question U: What do we, intend to do about it ? The time has come when every citizen must act for the protection of his home and his livelihood. Home owners and wage earners must demand that government cease looking for new places to levy more taxes. They must insist that government volunta- :Iy practice the same thrift and e.onoiay which has been forced upon its people. j Merle Thorpe, editor. Nation's Bus-; iness, recently directed attention to j the enormous ineriyftse in the cost of maintaining various activities of the federal government. Similar conditions probably exist in many state and local governments. If the people really desire economy in government with permanently rodueed taxes, they can have it. But, only if they evidence a determined interest; and if they demand the real facts from their Senators, Congressmen and their representatives in state and local governments. Taxpayers are entitles! to know how their money is being spent. What are all these departments of government? How many bureaus are there in each department? What] servme does each bureau or com- ( m;.-so.n render and is that service -. art undy necessary. How many em ploy..- doe- each bureau carry on the payroll ami how much does it l" * w her.

May ll.'-Th* state nas received a check for $107,300 in partial settlement of tho South Carolina inheritance tax on the estate of the lato Col. Ceroy Springs, of Lancaster, textile mill magnate. W. G. Query, chairman of the state tax commission, announced today a check was sent this week by Elliott White Springs, son of the wealthy man. Final adjustment cannot be made until administrators have completed their valuation of tho estate. The $107,300 represents payment on slightly more than $-,000,000 of the estate, Query said. It is the largest inheritance tax payment in the historV of the state. Query said the Springs holdings reached into so many fields and industries that an evaluation of the estate presented unprecedented problems. p,y payment of the money now, tho administrators averted a lft per cent penalty. They will, however, be compelled to pay the penalty on the remaining part of the estate. One year is permitted by the state in which to settle an estate. Col. Springs died in Charlotte May 8, 1031. At first the question was raised about his legal residence, but South Carolina proved its contention he ma ntained legal residence in this state, despite the North Carolina home.
