If, at the conclusion of a local yearly administrative cycle, expenses should be inferior to profits, what is left could be deposited in national institutions. The functioning is the same as that which has already been explained for the local institution. At the same rate, it will be possible to help local institutions that might turn out with a negative balance. In like manner, a national institution, at the end of its administrative cycle, will deposit its extra funds in the Supreme State, that will apply the same principle on a world level, contributing to those national institutions in trouble. In this way there will be more fairness in taxation in various localities: the richer ones will pay more taxes than those that are less wealthy and less fortunate. This kind of organization has the advantage of favoring at any level, individual, local or national, an equal distribution of protection to all those who, though working with dignity, might find themselves in need and to guarantee basic services. (74:1) Therefore the future world won't favor the development of high entropy, large metropolises, but will give more importance to local economy, allowing it to be more autonomous than it is now. (74:2) The Baha'i social-political system will also include a transformation of national governments: many of their prerogatives will be voluntarily surrendered [82], partly to the supreme state and partly to the local institutions, that, as we have said, will have greater autonomy, while national institutions will have the job of coordinating and organizing local institutions and acting as intermediaries among the latter and the international institutions described in previous outlines. It won't be an impersonal and anonymous world, where the value of the individual can get lost in the intricacies of bureaucracy and disorganization as occurs today, or be stuck in the conspiracy of silence for the sake of already existing interest groups, factions, and parties. (74:3) There will be much higher probabilities that the dignity and the value of each individual will be brought to light, in an organization that expresses in the same principle the maximum of decentralization. Each Baha'i month the entire community is invited to a meeting during which citizens will hear a detailed report on what has been or hasn't been done in the community throughout the previous month and eventually, each of them will be able to freely express his own opinions on topics that are of common interest and offer those suggestions he deems useful. These suggestions, if accepted by the entire assembly or by the majority, will be properly presented to the local institutions that, elected every year by all citizens, among all citizens, without candidatures and propaganda, will discuss the issues and will make proper decisions [83].
