and the Insular possessions. In 1912 at

tate and Improvements, Includii g pub-
lic property, alone constituted $110,'
877,000,000, or 59 per cent of tile to-
tal, in 1912. The next greatest item,
$10,143,000,000, was contributed by
tiie railroads; and the third, $14,694,-
000,000, represented the value of man-
ufactured products, other than cloth-
ing and personal adornment, furni-
I t iro, vehicles and kindred property.
Public Indebtedness.
I The net public indebtedness in 1913
! i Mounted to $4,850,461,000. This
1 ,imount was made up as follows; K -
tlinai itbt, $7W8 3>>4.00e, or IU.oJ
per capital; itats debt, $345,>42.000,
■>r $3 57 p*r capita; eosinty debt. M71,-
£2*.000. or $4 33 per capita; and munic-
ipal debt, $2,f 84 .$$3,000, or $i4 27 per
aplta Thus tbe average urban dt-
lien's (bare of tbe net federal, atate
county and municipal debt combined
was $72.7$; and the average rural
citizen • share of the net federal, sute
Slid countv debt combined was $18.49
Tbe total federal debt in 1910 was
$2,916 205,000, of which amount $967,-
166,000 was represented by bonds.
$375,682 00© by noninterest-beariug
Jebt i principally United States notes
or greenbacks"), and $l,573,157.eOO
by certificates and notea issued on de-
posits cf coin and bullion. Against
his Indebtedness there was in the
treasury $1.*87.641,000 in cash avail-
able for payment of debt, leaving the
net national irdebtedness at $1,028.-
564,000, or $10 59 <*:? capita. The in-
crease In the i . Indebtedness be
tween 1902 and i913 amounted to 6
per cent, but for the per capita figure
there was a decrca « of 13 per cent
The burden due to the national debt
Is thus very light in comparison with
that Imposed by the Indebtedness of
other grea' nations.
The stale debt, however, rests still
more easily on the shoulders of the
average citizen, being only one-third
is great as that of the nation. The
total state Indebtedness in 1913 was
$422,797,000, and the net debt—that is,
the total debt less sinking fund assets
—was $345,942,000, or $S 37 per capita.
The net debt Increased by 44 5 per
cent between 1902 and 1913. and the
r>°r capital net debt by 18 per cent
Th only two states In which the
per capita state debt In 1913 exceeded
the per capita national debt were
Massachusetts, with a net debt of
17- V,1.000, or $22.78 per capita, arid
Arizona, with $3,065,000, or $13 28 per
capita. In these states, however, the
large per capita debt Is due principal-
ly not to the state debt proper but
to the considerable amount of con-
tingent debt aBsume<f by the state in
the name of the metropolitan districts
In Massachusetts and the counties
and municipalities in Arizona.
The total county debt in 1913
amounted to $393,207,000, of which
amount $371,528,000, or $4.33 per cap-
ita. was net debt The net Indebted-
ness increased by 89 per cent between
1902 and 1913 and the per capita net
Indebtedness by 65 per cent,
Isy far the greatest item of indebt-
edness in this country Is that of mu
nicipalltles. This amounted in 1913
to an aggregate of $3,460,000,000, of
which $2,884,888,000, of $54.27 per
capita, represented net Indebtedness.
The rate of Increase in net indebt-
edness between 1902 and 1913 was 114
per cent.
Taxation.
The total levies of taxes on real
/■state, personal property and other
property subject to ad valorem taxa-
tion. by state*, eoutiaa, naalel poll-
ties. school districts, and other civil
divisions, increased from $714,717^04.
or $S 12 per capita, in 1902 to $1,349,-
841.000. or $13.tl per capita. In 1*11.
the percentage* of increase being 86
for the total amount and 51 for the
per capita.
Levies for state purposes increased
from $80,402,000 in 1902 to $155 643.
000 In 1912, or by 94 per cent. During
tbe same period the levies by coun-
ties, municipalities, school districts,
etc.. Increased from $644,335,000 to
$1,184,253,000, or by 84 per cent The
county levies in 1912 were $288,93!.-
000. and those of municipalities,
school districts, and other minor civil
divisions amounted to $895,321,000.
Thus It appears that an increase of
75 per cent in 8 years—indicating a
gain of 115 per cent in 1 vears—
in national wealth has been accom-
panied by an increase, during 11
years, of 6 per cent In net federal In-
debtedness. 44 o per cent in net state
lnutotedness. 8 per cent in net coun-
ty indebtedness, and 114 per cent In
net municipal indebtedness. Ic ron-
section with the growth in munici-
pal indebtedness, however. It should
be borne In mind that the proportion
which urban population represented
of the total was materially greater In
1913 than In 1902. The net indebted
ness of national, state, county and
municipal governments combined In
creased by 71 per cent in 11 years.
A more significant comparison
however, can be made between the

protection to person and propertj
(expenses of military, naval. light
house, steamboat inspection, reven us
cutter, life-saving and iaml ration an4
