The cost of ail government in the
United States is enormous. It is 11
billion dollars nearly one-sixth of
the entire annual income of the
country.
This cost is not only enormous but
is growing. In 1925, government
cost more than 12 times as much as
in 1S90. The increased cost of gov
ernment in these 35 years outstrip
ped the growth of population by
more than seven to one. In 192a,
we spent for government nearly half
the value of our railroads.
In the five years ending with
1925, the cost of running the fed
eral government was decreased by
one-third. But at the same time the
cost of running the state and local
governments more than doubled.
The greatest single item in the
cost of government, is the public pay
roll. So many people are now sup
ported by the government htat for
every ten people employed in other
than government work, there is one
person supported by the government.
During the past five years our state
and local governments have put us
deeper into debt at the rate of $3,
300,000 a day. During 1925, this
rate was increased to $3,S0O,0OO a
day more than ten times as much
as it was 25 years ago.
We are finding it hard now to pay
only the interest on these immense
debts our state and local govern
ments are piling on us. What are
we going to do when the time comes
to pay off the mortgage? Every
