NO MONEY DOWN! 30 YEAR MONTAGES & PiMTS ON L Vs ACRE L ONLY NO F 5,000 and up BUY ANYWHE NE 11 -a The Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois today estimated that the increase in federal spending in the fiscal year 1959 over 1958 will, cost the taxpayers of Illihois $497,700,000 or $52.48 for each man, woman arid child residing within the state. The Federation noted that federal spending will rise in fiscal 1959 by about $7 billion over the 1958 total of $71.9 billion, according to latest official estimates.,, Calculating that Illinois taxpayers bear 7.11 .percent of total federation taxes; the Federation applied this percentage to the $7 billion increase to arrive at the 5497,- 700,000. . * ; This $497,700,000 additional burden on Illinois taxpayers is equal to 72 per cent of the state collected revenue it takes to operate the government of Illinois for one year. It exceeds by $72,197,000 the combined receipts from Illinois sales tax ($296,062,000) and gasoline tax ($129,441,000), which together comprise 62 percent of the state's receipts for 1957; Such high levels of federal taxation and spending have resulted in added financial difficulties for state and local 1 units of government must depend. _Thus, the level of support by state and local governments in providing for schools, protection of life and property, and welfare suffers because of a. depleted tax base. As the local tax base is depleted, there increasihg demand on the part of local governments for additional federal aid. Essential local services must- be provided, and if the tax base in local areas is exhausted because of the large amount of taxes taken by the federal government, states turn, as has become the habit, to the federal government for more assistance. When federal grants are made the inevitable result is that the federal government must raise more money by increasing taxes. This, in turn,' lowers the ,tax base in the states, who then ask for great federal grants. It is indeed a vicious circle--a circle that will only vanish when we learn that our dollars are subject to shrinkage when they make the trip to Washington and back.
