THE (¡EXEKAI. PROPERTY 1 V\
Few taxes touch more intimately- -and if i.r.e m iy ?; ’
by popular outcry, more heavily—the lives of our citizent
than the general property tax. It is. however, a tax whirl
is peculiarly sensitive to public opinion because it i; locail;
imposed and is administered mainly by officers wh . rv
at the will of local electorates. Whether it is we!! adminis
tered or badly administered is up to the people; here, if any
where, “the public gets the kind of govern’- nt it

A STATE FACES BANKRUPTCY
Dorothy Thompson devoted one of her late newspaper
columns to conditions in the state of Washington. T -u
monwealth, she said, “is now up against the inevitable cris'
of the welfare state—the same crisis the British people Lav.
had to face, namely, the rude awakening that there ain’t n<
Santy Claus.”
The trouble stems from a remarkable measure, called
“the citizens’ security act,” which was passed in 1918. N >w,
to <(uote Miss Thompson again, “this prosperous and . > 0-
gressive state faces bankruptcy. Although the j»eople vot' d
to increase the already advanced social security lenefi:.’,
their representatives have not dared to vote the t ... . ;
finance them. That would explode the happy idea that : । -
thing can be obtained for nothing. The result is a deficit ap
proaching $100,000,000. . .
“A study of the condition of this state is recommended
to all advocates of socialized medicine and cradle-to-the-
grave social security. There are families here who, taking ad
vantage of the multiple possibilities of state aid, are drawing
down $400 per month and refusing, naturally, jobs at S200 t

FORECASTS BIT CEOVDY
(Reynolds Knight)
There’s no accounting for tastes—or. apparently, for
the predictions of some economists. Consider the iollowini
new year forecasts, both by top government officials: Said
one, “An era of prosperity lies ahead;” the other, “A short
term boom will be followed by a more serious slump' Evi-
dently somebixly’s crystal ball is a bit cloudy.
But this isn’t surprising. For if we as a
learned anything about economics in the first half of the
art. Out on
20th century it is that forecasting is a hazarc
the “firing line” among the business men and women who
move the goods of industry into the hands of consumers we
find a divergence of opinion, too.
Nearly half of a group of wholesalers polled by Dun &
Bradstreet expect higher sales volume during th» y< :t-’.
first quarter than for the same periixi in 1919. On the ether
hand, of a group of retailers similarly polled, about half pre
dict a drop in sales.
A third group polled, however, tips the scale toward op
timism, at least for the immediate outlook. This group ir
composed of manufacturers who in most instanei s have the
advantage of reports from nationwide sales staffs upon
which to shape their views.

The state of Washington has been singled out in this in

states are being tempted to follow7 the same path. And the
national government, with its huge deficits in spite of near-
record income, is the worst offender of all.
