The article discusses the levy of taxes by the government in New York State. Governor Lehman has asked to levy $64,000,000 new taxes in order to support a budget of $415,000,000, the largest ever by any state in the U.S. Many New York citizens are insisting that there should be no increase in taxes and also a reduction in the present state and local government costs. They worry about the state's economic condition and if it is capable of supporting present costs. They fear that if new burdens are piled upon industry and the home sector, the vicious circle of unemployment can never be solved.
