BROUGHT OUT BT
STATE CHAMBER
At the annual meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce of Michigan held Fri
day, October 13, at Lansing, General
John H. S<bouten of Grand Rapids
was re-elected president for the ensu
ing year.
Among the accomplishments of the
past yearT discussion of which to k
considerable time at the meeting, was
the review of the report that taxpay
ers’ committees have lieen established
m eighty of the eighty-three counties
of the state of Michigan.
The* Itonrd of directors divided the
state into six regional districts for
taxpayers* activities. Taxpayers’ com
mittees will begiu immediate meetings
in the various districts, the* first of
which will he held at Traverse City,
involving approximately y counties
in the northwestern section of the
lower peninsula of Michigan. These
meetings will develop an intensive tax
er* nscioiisnes* mi the jwrt of taxpayers
of the state. * *
The board also voted to extend an
invitation to labor and agriculture to
join with the state chamber in its pre
sent active campaign in making the
public tax-conscious.
”<>ue of the strange things about ex
cessive taxation iu this state is that so
many people are the victims of it and
so few take any constructive action to
curb it," states Ernest T. t’onlou, gen
eral manager of the state chamber.
"The cost of ruuuiug the state gov
ernment doubles in ten years. We
jump from approximately SIOU,OOO,<H)9
annually to $200,000,000. What hap
pens during the interval? Practically
nothing. We have surveys of taxation,
semi-public agencies point out our
eeoflouik* sins ami candidates for office
preach economy but still the levies in
crease.
“No concerted action is taken to
adopt business methods and bring
about a less costly government. Pres
sure groups, with i»et ideas. besiege
the legislature with the result that
they secure what they want, thereby
increasing the taxpayers* burden, Care
less officials fail to economize in pre
paring their budgets. And so it goes
all along the line.
“Another matter that is hard to ex
plain is that great numbers of oar
lM*ople believe that they pay no laves
Actually everybody pays. 'Hidden tax
es’ take a tremendous toll. Industry
and business, the home and property
owner are well aware of the tax bur-%
den las-a use they pay direct. They sign
the checks while the other fellow lias
his taken away from him iu a more
painless manner.
••The Chamber of Commerce of
Michigan believes that these conditions
cau be corrected. The remedy lies in
concerted action by our citizens. To
this end rlie chamber is completing its
organization of taxpayers in every
county of the state. Wheu this work
is finished it wiU have a powerful
taxpayers’ group which will be able to
t-ike effective action.
•‘ln the meantime the chamber’s ed
ucational campaign is being carried on.
Pamphlets containing basis facts re
garding taxation are being widely dis
tributed and are meeting with public
favor. We lielieve that this is the first
time that such a sustained effort has
been made to briug home to the citi
zens the plain facts regarding govern
ment exi**mlitures. ,
“It has been charged iu some quar
ters that this movement is tinged with
I»olitics. Very naturally we are avoid
ing politics. The only way that we can
succeed in bringing about reform :u
state expenditures is by conducting a
strictly uou-political, non-partisan. ar.J
mm sectarian campaign. And this is
just what we are doing.’*
In connection with the subject of
taxes, the following will be of inter
est :
Growth of Taxes
The volume of taxi's increased s4ea<l
ily throughout the depression. It is
now almost 60 per cent more tliau the
pre-depression figure. Federal, state
and local taxes amounted to $14.7
billion iu 1938 in contrast to ss*3 bil
lion in 1928.
In relathJU to national iucome, the
tax burden is about double that of ten
years ago; with the national income
down almost one-quarter, taxes are up
nearly one-ha If.
Taxes per person in 1938 were sll3
and income per person $479 as con
trasted with taxes per person in 1928
of S7B and income per person of $633.
Tax increases have been general
a prong the federal, state and local gov
ernments.
Federal taxes totaled $3.2 billiou in
15*28, but were about $5.9 billion in
1938; an increase of about 85 per cent.
State and local taxes were about
$6.1 billion in 1928. but were nearly
SB.B billion in 1988; an increase of
approximately 45 per cent.
Growth of Spending
The expenditures government
have steadily exceeded the greatly
augmented revenues from mounting
taxes.
Total expenditures of federal, state
and loual governments, exclusive of
debt retirement, were sll billiou in
1926 but were $17.4 billion in 1986.
Federal expenditures were $2.8 bil
liou in lU2N but were $7.5 billion in
14*38. nearly three times as much, and
■were $9.1 billiOD in the 1999 fiscal
year.
(State and local expenditures were
$8.2 billion in 1928 bfct were $9.8 bil
lion in 15138, ap increase of about one
fifth.
Growth of I)At «
"With the exception of moderate re
ceipts from source* other than taxes,
the difference between expenditures
and taxes lias been met by borrowing
mouey. Continuous deficits through
out the depression have just about
doubled government debt.
The total direct debt of federal,
state and local governments was about
$33 billion in 1928 and about $56 bil
lion in 198*. rising to about S6O billion
in 1989. ' •
The Mirect federal debt, which was
$17.6 billion iu 1928 and was reduced
to a little over sl6 billion a few years
later, became $37.2 billion iu 1938 aud
now is in excess of S4O billion; this
rise accounts for most of the increase
in the public debt of the country.
State and local debt, which was
$15.7 billion in mc!B. liecame sl9 bil
lion iu 1931 and has continued at almut
that level; it totaled $19.2 billion iu
1938.

A double-edged sword of disaster
slashed the four Noel brothers but it
failed to nick the lighting spirit that
unites them. Edward, 14 years old;
Howard, 13; Leonard, 8, and Raymond’
6. with their mother and dad were an
average happy American family until
misfortune struck them.
One day they were, 'heckl'd by the
news that their father had been killed
in an automobile accident. Soon after
the funeral their mother was stricken
with severe sickness. The Nod brothers
found themselves homeless with uo
one to care for them.
But the community fund makes pro
vision for the unpredictable quirks of
fate in <ase> like this. The St. Francis
home for boys was ready to take the
Noel youngsters into its care. In this
community fund agency «thc four bro
thers have been kepi together. They
attend classes in their respective grade
in the home. They eat together in the
<ame dining room. The two younger
brothers, Leonard and Raymond, have
adjoining beds in the junior dormitory.
The older brothers are able to talk
over the day’s exploits from their beds
in another dormitory.
The hoys are living as normal a
family life as is jiossible without a
mother and father. Their health is
carefully guarded. They are given per
iodic physical examinations by a doc
tor. A nurse inspects them every day
for the slights! sign of sickness. A
dentist sees that their teeth are kept
strong and white. If one of them
should need glasses they will he pro
vided.
In the meantime their mother is re
ceiving medical treatment. Plans are
being made for the time when she is
physically able to care for her boys.
When that happens the family will he
re-established in a home of their own.
Already the boys are looking forward
to reunion with their mother. It is
that hope which keeps the look of de
termination in their eyes.
The misfortune of the Noel family
can happen to anyone. But the far
sightedness and generosity of civic
minded people has provided for such
emergencies through a community fund
which enables various types of social
agencies to carry ou their work. In
the Noel family the help given is doll
ed the care of dependent children.
Other types of community fund ser
vices include care of the sick, family
services and care of‘the aged, pro
tective work, youth services, and set
tlements and community centers.
Every day in the year 40 social
work agencies in the community fund
are helping Wyandotte’s needy. Once
each year* they make an appeal for
support to continue these services. For
this pun>ose the community fund is
holding its twenty-second annual cam
paign No. 6 to 21.
Naming the Months

have been named for Julius Caesar.
However, long before Caesar, this
time of the year was known as Jule,
from the word “huil” meaning sum
