Editor’s note - Following
is the second in a series
of articles written by the
Texas Municipal League of
fiscal policy of local gov-
ernments.
Local government in the
United States is far from
being outmoded or obso-
lete. The 91,000 units of
local government — in-
cluding cities, counties,
school districts and special
districts — make more
than one-half the nation-
al expenditures for domes-
tic civilian government and
raise nearly three-fourths
of the revenue from their
own local tax sources.
Texas Municipal League
staff research emphasizes
that since the early 1950‘s
local government expendi-
ture £ nationwide have been
increasing far more rapid-
ly than comparable non-de-
fense Federal expendi-
tures.
TML research highlights
these trends:
1. Between 1950 and 1960,
direct Federal expendi-
tures for domestic govern-
ment — excluding grants-
in-aid — increased by less
than 50 per cent, from $7
billion in 1950 to near $11
billion in 1960.
2. In this same ten-year
period, direct expenditures
by state and local govern-
ment increased 128 per
cent. The burden of pro-
viding services to a grow-
ing population is falling
most heavily on the govern-
ments literally closer to
the people.
3. The contrast is also
notable in regard to pay-
rolls. In the 1950’s, Fed-
eral civilian employment
— including employees
abroad —increased by less
than 15 per cent. The num-
ber of state and local gov-
ernment employees, how-
ever, multiplied in each
case by about 50 per cent.
In terms of dollars, the
Federal civilian payroll
rose by 82 per cent, while
those of state and local
governments increased 142
per cent.
4. In 1946, there were
2.4 million Federal civilian
employees with a $571 mil-
lion monthly payroll com-
pared to 2.7 million local
employees with a $456 mil-
lion monthly payroll. In
1960, Federal civilian em-
ployment was actually
slightly lower, down to 2,-
421,000 workers with a $1.
1 billion monthly payroll
of $1.6 billion.
While little noticed in
general public discussions
of fiscal policy in the United
States, local govenment
has in effect been “coming
along with a rush” since
the end of World War II,
reaching new dimensions of
size and significance —
and demanding much more
active public interest and
attention.
