Representative Robert Ba con of New York revealed striking and little known abuses in connection with Federal subsidies to states. In the 1931 fiscal year there were 14 states which did not pay a dollar of net taxes into the Federal Treasury— while, on the other hand, the Federal Government paid them $24.000.000, which amounted to $1.78 for every head of their population. In addition, there were 18 other states, representing 35,000,000 people, which made net contribu tions of Federal taxes of only $146.000.000 plus— slightly less than 7 per cent of total net tax payments. As a result, the 16 remaining states were forced to pay 93 per cent of the Federal tax bill. The reason is found in the policy known as Federal Direct Aid Payments— simply another way of saying Fed eral Subsidies to States. The payments are made for a variety of purposes— fighting forest fires, vocational and rehabilitation work, maternity and infancy care, highway work, etc. Some of these are doubtless necessary— others are bureaucratic activities serving no essential purposes. In 1931 these state subsidies totaled $219,000.000— and in the last 10 years have cost the taxpayers well over a billion dollars. Their tendency is toward steady and defi nite increases. Further, they tend to increase state taxes, as in most instances the state must match each Federal dollar with a dollar of its own. The temptation to get the Federal subsidy dollar leads to many extravagant tax levies. Like so many other phases of taxation, the problem of Federal subsidies needs thorough study and direct ac tion. It is one more cause of the staggering burden on the back of the American taxpayer. The state forestry department has been doing good work in controlling forest fires. During the month of July, twenty-two fires were surpressed in Josephine coun ty alone. Carelessness from smokers caused eight of these fires, the greatest number from any one cause. Seven were of incendiary origin. When these two causes of for est fires can be controlled, the number of fires will be re duced, thus preserving our forests which are rapidly de nt inishing.
