Current Tradition scaler:
+1
Science in the Capital and +3% 
Growth in all cities for each Tradition Policy adopted
In total the tree gives +20% Growth in all cities: +15% from all scalers, and +5% on the Opener
Proposed Tradition scaler:
+1Science in the Capital and +5% Growth in all cities for each Tradition Policy adopted
In total the tree gives +30% Growth in all cities: +25% from all scalers, and +5% on the Opener
Rationale:
The current scaler is weak. It's possibly the worst scaler of any policy tree.
Tradition is generally considered weak, and while boosting the scaler's power is not a silver bullet, it's current weakness is at least a contributing factor.
Tradition used to have +5% growth on the scaler, but was lowered to 3% years ago. This was in a time when Tradition was considered more competitive, and we were looking for ways to manage unhappiness. Tradition is now much less competitive and Unhappiness is much more lenient, but this nerf was never reverted.
Tradition lacks many useful bonuses outside of the capital. The global growth bonus is one of the few abilities it grants on empire. Strengthening it will allow Tradition satellite cities to grow faster.
