H ur I. nton, North Carolina ;
The people of Washington State pay
in the form of income and profit tax
es a total of $10,742,417 a year. That
is at the rate of $7.91 per capita.
Their State government costs them
$15.80 per capita, annually. These
Federal taxesvnd State , revenues
combined represent a charge of $23.71
yearly for every man, woman, and
child in the commonwealth.
The Fordney-McCumber tariff takes
from the people in Washington in
higher prices for what they consume
in the way of food, clothing, and ne
cessities of every kind a total of $51,
821,400 each year more than it gives
them in gains. This tariff is a tax of
$38.20 per capita which means that
every man, woman, and child in
Washington pays $14.49 more in a
higher cost of living because of the
Forney-McCumber law than they
contribute toward the maintenance of
the State and Federal governments.
What the people of Washington pay
to their State and to the Federal
Government helps to provide for the
building and operation of their
schools, the construction and upkeep
of their highways, the protection of
their health, the safeguarding of
their lives and property, and the pro
motion of their moral and material
interests.
What the people of Washington
pay in tariffs on their necessities goes
only in email part to .the Federal
Government, and none of it to their
State. Only 12 1-2 cents of every
dollar taken from thenvfinds its way
into the Federal Treasury. The re
mainder 87 1-2 cents is taken as
toll by special interests, combines,
and . monopolies for which the Ford-ney-McCember
tariff waa enacted.
