To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Money received by cities from municipal plants, from taxation, from fees, fines or otherwise, would appear under like headings in each and every city. So, too, as to expenditures for public health, public welfare, law, and so forth and so on. The same rule would apply to counties; and it could be made to apply to the States of the Union, as well. If such sys- tems were inaugurated it would be possible to make really intelligent compari- sons as to the cost of government as between any two or mo...re cities, counties or States, because all receipts and all expenditures would be upon a common basis. By an expenditure limitation law is meant a limitation upon the amount of money a political subdivision may expend in any one year. It long ago was ascertained that limitation as to tax rates was foolishness because it could be evaded by raising the assessment. This could not be done under an expendi- ture limitation law. California made the attempt in 1917 as applied to counties, but the school people took alarm because of a certain provision in the bill, fell back upon the referendum and defeated it.
