the local administrative bodies estimate their receipts from productive
funds, however, makes it impossible to compare the figures in the
income side.
The tax-revenue, on the contrary, can be extracted from the accounts
and their total amount and nature can be investigated, whereby we also
get a notion of the total burden of taxation per head of the population.
The apportionment of the actual (not the estimated) tax-revenue enjoyed
by all the public spending bodies for the year 1912 is set forth in
Table 45. This Table shows with great clearness how "direct"
taxation practically lias the field to itself in the realm of local
government, and that the great preponderance of taxes on consumption in the
State Finances is, to a great extent, conditioned by the contrary state
of things in the case of the other spending bodies. Thus "direct"
taxation shows a marked preponderance when all public bodies are taken
together.
From the standpoint of pressure of taxation, however, we have also
to take into account the protective customs-dues, which, as is well known,
make goods dearer not merely by the amount which flows into the
coffers of the State but also by sending up the price of the goods
produced within the country. It must further be emphasized that the
figures just given reveal nothing concerning the effects of the graduation

not only what comes into the coffers of the State.
