CITY HALL TO STATE HOUSE
Even in these days of big figures, $335,000,000 is a
lot of money. It amounts to almost three dollars for
every person in this country.
That is the sum that was added to the state and I
local public debt of the nation in 1935, according to the
National Industrial Conference Board. It does not in
clude the increase in Federal debt, which was much
greater.
The total state and local debt at the end of last y°ar
was well in excess of $19,000,000,000. That works out |
to a little more than $800 for each representative Am-1
erican family of four. The federal debt is somewhere ■
around the $30,000,000,000 mark, bringing the total I
public debt obligation of each family to over $2,000.
Direct taxes of most people will never amount to
that much money, but, nevertheless, each person will
pay in some form his proportionate share of carrying
and retiring that gigantic debt. Every time you buy
a week’s groceries or a stick of gum. part of the cost
goes to the government. Federal, state and local. Every
time you attend a movie, part of the cost isn't for en-
tertainment.but for taxes. And the greater the debt,
the greater the total tax load must be on earnings,
property, food, clothing and all necessities.
The place to start a campaign for tax reduction is
the federal government. But local units of government
mustn’t be overlooked. There is plenty of waste from
city hall to state house. And you, the taxpayer, are
footing the bill.

THE RIGHT TO PUBLISH
We read with regret the conditions under which the
Seattle P. I. suspended publication. Two men working
in the editorial department were discharged and be
cause they were members of the American Newspaper
Guild, several other unions in Seattle joined with them
and put a picket line around the building. Union men.
members of the typographical and pressmens union,
who wanted to work, could not because they would not
pass the picket lines.
We are in favor of unions and what they stand for,
but we do object to the racketeers in some of the un
ions. Why should a newspaper be forced to suspend
pftblication when union men working in the plant are
satisfied with their scale of wages and want to work.!
Will the sane union people of Seattle let themselves be
controlled by a few’ racketeers?.
We feel that when the people working on a newspa
per are satisfied with working conditions the newspa
per certainly has a right to publish without the inter
ference of racketeers in outside unions.
