A true copy of Warrant,
Attest:
ALDEN G. KELLEY, ) Selectmen WILLIAM NELLER, of
JAMES F. COBURN, Derry.
CONCORD, N. H., February 8, 1915.
TO THE SELECTMEN:
We suggest that you cause the following extract from the report of the Tax Commission for 1914 to be printed in your town report this spring. It may tend to economy in town appropriations.
Very truly, STATE TAX COMMISSION, BY W. B. FELLOWS, Secretary.
REPORT STATE TAX COMMISSION.
INCREASE IN PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.
No power has constituted the members of the tax com, mission guardians of the public in respect to expenditures for the support of government, and they have no disposition to assume that role. Nevertheless, "economy being a most essential virtue in all states," and it being "the duty of legis- lators and magistrates to countenance and inculcate the principles of economy," all as set forth in the constitution of this state, the commissioners believe themselves to be amply justified in urging, as they have so often urged before, the importance of this subject upon the voters of this state. The public revenue, state and municipal, is the voters' business and they are responsible, directly or indirectly, for every extravagance affecting it from the inception to the termination of the fund.
Every compulsory contribution levied by public author- ity upon people or property is in the broad sense of the term a tax, nor is it made less obnoxious or burdensome if called a fee or a fine. In the figures that follow therefore, all fees
7
fines, and other exactions, if any, are included with the taxes upon polls and estates. To illustrate the comparative im- portance of the two classes, it many be said that the taxes upon polls and estates represent about 95 per cent, and all other income about 5 per cent. of the total revenue of the state, and of the counties, cities, towns, districts and pre- cinets therein.
Taxes as defined above have increased by leaps and bounds in recent years. In 1903 the sum of all taxes asses- sed by and within the state of New Hampshire wa $5,373,420.22; in 1913 it was $8,765,039.07, an increase of $3,391,618.85, or 63 per cent., in ten years. But these figures do not adequately represent the velocity the upward move ment has now attained. To show that is necessary to divide the ten year period: The levy in 1908 was $924,388.79, or 17 per cent. greater than in 1903, while that in 1913 was. $2,467,230.06, or 39 per cent. greater than in 1908. By so much did the advance in the last half of said period exceed that in the first half. These figures will be the more alarm. ing if it is remembered that while taxes already sufficiently" heavy were advancing 63 per cent., of the population of the state increased only about 4 1-2 per cent., and while the one was advancing 39 per cent., the other increased only about 2 1-4 per cent.
It is interesting to study the subject from another angle. In the ten years from 1904 to 1914 both inclusive, the annual increase in all taxes defined and limited as above was as follows:
1904
$04,459.91
1905
286,590. 14
1906
115,468.39
1907
411,257.46
1908
79,612.89
1909
539,995.97

1910
787,565.31
19II
215,848.50
1912
296,216.85
1913
627,603.43
The average yearly increase for the whole period was $336,561.85. The upward trend is more plainly shown how- ever, by dividing, as before, the ten-year period in the mid- dle and consider the halves separately. For the first five years the average annual increase was $184,877.76; for the last five years it was $493,446.01. It is surely pertinent to consider how long the little state of New Hampshire, almost stationary in wealth, can sustain a tax already burdensome and increasing at the rate of practically half a million dollars a year without crippling her industries and impoverishing her people. Plainly it is a condition not calculated to attract capital from without the state or to encourage business within the same.
From the per capita standpoint the situation is not less disturbing. In 1903 there were assessed $12.88 in taxes for each man, woman and child in the state. Five years later there were assessed $14.75 for each individual, and in five years more $20.09. If in 1913 texes had been equally dis- tributed among all the people it would have meant a burden of $100 for each family of five members. Though in reality there was little such equality in the assessment there was much in the payment. The fact is that those who occupy, use or consume property, no matter who owns it, are those who in the last analysis pay most, if not all, of the taxes thereon. If the wage earner or the man of limited means understood he was in reality paying something like $100 a year in state and municipal and half as much more in federal taxes for the government of himself, his wife and three chil- dren his influence and his vote would more frequently
9
make for economy in appropriations and expenditures than heretofore.
No statistics for the year 1914 appear in the above par- agraphs for the reason that they are not yet at hand except n part.
