City, State And Federal Conflicts ":, There is a persistent and sometimes tetter conflict in )rogress,'iimong the three, levels of. government -- cities igainsts'stisttes, and. states against the federal government, rhe strugMe is a comparatively new one and professional itudents k government "are puzzled as to why the situation ;hou!d hafe developed as it has. . . , The state governments for several years have cried out igainst encroachment , on thei,r preserves by the federal govsrnment and also against the over-centralization of power at Vashington. And they have shown jealousy., over, the direct elationship that has been established between local governnents and Washington. . . , . , , The cities or many of them- are disposed to want o continue the direct relationship with the . federal governnent. They have found direct financial aid from Washington rery helpful.. The cities also have been complaining about the ack of aid given them aad the restrictions put upon them iy the state governments. , , . Some of the outstanding facts are these: . , ,,It is only since 1930 that the American people have becme predominantly urban. The urbanization process is progressing rapidly and it is jpredicted that three-fourths of the icople will be living in cities or under urban conditions y 1970.- ' There has been a marked change in the relative amounts if taxes collected in the three branches of government. For sxampie, 5,n the year 19 li approximately 65 per cent of all ;axes were collected by the local governments counties, :ownships, cities, villages, and school districts. In the same rear the federal government collected 23.89 per cent of, the ;axes and the. states collected only 11.12 per cent. In 1946, ;he local governments collected only 9.63 per cent of the tax2S, The states collected 10,05. The more than 80. per cent colected by the federal government was due, of course, to tremendously heavy war costs. However, in the past when wareduced taxes diminished following the return to normal conations, collections by local governments immediately took .op place, A different trend appears to.be under way at present. .

Until 1946 tax collections by the states have never ex

ceeded those by the local governments, However, for many

rears the percentage of total taxes collected by the states has ieen rising, while the percentage collected by local govern

ments has gradually decreased. One explanation of this fact

s that the states and the federal governments haye been ;haring some of their revenue 'with" the local governments.

die progressive governments -of cities and" to some extent

bf counties have become restless and seek a greater degree

oi autnority m the matter of collecting taxes or in sharing itate-collected taxes. In most of the states there is consider-

tble reluctance toward granting home rule for cities, leading

to the most bitter fights of all over Reapportionment.

Although Finland extends far north into extremely cold latitudes, with rugged climate and topography, it is an agricultural country. Lumber is the most important industry. Principal crops are rye, barley, oats, potatoes and hay. ' ... . Ra, sun-god of Egyptian myth, is generally represented in the figure of a man with a hawk's head, sometimes standing, sometimes walking, and sometimes seated on a throne.

less liquor under a system of legal sales

than they did nearly a hundred years ago when

; the first state-wide prohibition wave hit the coun try, or in 1910 when many states, including Indiana, were experimenting with local option and heading for prohibition. ...i Studies made by Dr. E. M. Jellinek, noted Yale University authority on alcohol, show that In 1850 the population of drinking age was consuming distilled spirits at the rate of v4.17 gallons per capita, and beer consumption, was only 2.70 gallon?. By 1910 liquor consumption was 2.14 gallons - per capita and beer 29.27 gallons Nowadays, Indiana without local option has a liquor per capita consumption rate of only 1.36 gallons and a beer consumption rate of 23.16 gallons. v ... ;-k ;v ., The measure of sobriety, as Dr. Jellinek sees it, is found in the fact that in nearly a century the per capita consumption
