Federal and State War Taxation
Plehn, Carl C. | September 21, 1918 issue

Before the European war began, the U.S. government was spending, for all purposes, including the Post Office, approximately one billion dollars. Of this it raised about one-fourth from the Post Office and the rest by taxation. The states were spending nearly four hundred million dollars, the counties and minor civil divisions about five hundred millions and the cities of over 25,000 inhabitants nearly nine hundred millions. Since these figures are placed in comparison with such high figures as now represent the annual federal spending, that is, with twelve or eighteen billions, they are sufficiently accurate.
