Solving Problems
The National Education Association has reported
that American teachers’ average pay rose this year to
$5,125, topping $5,000 a year for the first time.
Last year it was $4,495. so teachers averaged more
than a 10 per cent pay raise.
The evidence continues to mount that local prob-
lems can be solved without recourse to Washington.

For the next budget will be a crucial one.
New programs seldom cost much the first year, but
their cost mounts steeply in succeeding years. At
first, there is a lot of staff selection and paper work
to be done, officers to be chosen and furniture to be
requisitioned.
Then the program gets under way and the real costs
begin to show up.
It has happened this way in the past, and it will
happen again if a rash of new programs is enacted by
Congress. A number already have been proposed,
including aid to depressed areas, aid to schools and
more federal housing and urban renewal.
Sen. Paul Douglas, the Illinois Democrat, reported
the other day that federal subsidy programs increased
in cost from $1.9 billion in fiscal year 1951 to $7 4
billion in the last fiscal year.
By now, the experts and the man on the street un-
derstand that America’s high tax rates are directly
involved in many of our economic woes—our inability
to compete in foreign markets, our stunted economic
growth, our rising unemployment, for example.
Any hope for solving these problems will be im-
periled by new spending programs, designed to alle-
viate problems that are either less pressing or capable
of being solved by individuals, local governments or
states.
