Mine Taxes

1t Isl important in connection with
the subject of taxes, to note that
since 1912, there were 80 mines
listed as producing mines on the tax
rolls OF the State.
In 1918, there were 40 mines listed
as producing mines.
IN 1925 the number dropped to 20
OF these 20 producing mines listed
in 1926. seven have not paid divi-
dend in the past five years. One Of
the largest mines only paid two divi-
dends since 1921, and another only
paid three dividends of SO cents each
since 1920.
The mines and railroads combined
pay 5S per cent Of the States taxes.

Cost of State

Table No. 5 shows the number of
inmates in each of the institutions
Of the State coming from each Of
the counties, the percapita cost Of
the maintenance at each Of the State
institutions, and the benefit each
county receives from money ex-
pended for the maintenance of the
State institutions.

Distribution of State

Chart No 3 and Table No. 3 show
tha distribution of the portion Of
taxes levied for State purposes. This
chart shows that 54.6l per cent Of
the amount raised for State taxes
goes for educational purposes. 1t
further illustrates the fact that it
the entire amount OF money eS-
pended for administrative and de-
parsmental expenses We're completely
eliminated and that il there were not
a single State officer or department

would amount 10 only S666,315.
When 1t is remembered that there
IS lpcinded in this S6G6,S15 charged
as administrative and departm entail

Commission OF Agriculture and Hor-
tjcGltUre TO fight crop pests; $4,000
for the destruction OF injurious ro-
dents, $4,000 for the eradication Of
tuberculosis in cattle; $1,000 for the
state veterinarian; and $4,000 TO
protect and eradicate disease in the
livestock industry, it will 10 seen
that approximately 20 per cent Of
the administrative cost of govern :
ueDt directly concerns the business
OF every farmer, dairyman and live
stock man in the State.
ANY discussion from any source,
indicating that the taxes can be ma
terially reduced by radical savings in
administrative and departmental ex-
penses, illustrates very conclusiveIy
that those who make such assertions
have little knowledge OF the actual
situation concerning State taxes.

Arizona is a growing State. It's
needs are increasing. It is not the
State it was between the years 1912
and 1916 which is designated as the
pre-war period.
The population of Arizona from
1910 to 1920 showed the largest per-
capita increase of any state in the
United States.
When the taxes since the war are
compared; $3,731,767 in 1917, $5.131.-
34S in 1919, $6,O62,917 in 1921 and
$4,99S,9S7 in 1925, the evidence
should be pretty conclusive that re-
lief. if it is to come, must be ex-
pected from other sources than saw
ings in administrative expense.

Automobile Expenses

Statements have appeared from
time to time concerning an alleged
increase in the number of state
cars" Those who make these state
ments either have no knowledge of
the facts, or are deliberately misrep-
resenting.
The State of Arizona has reduced
the number of cars in use to min
imum below which it would be un-
economical to operate.
The State of Arizona, during the
year 1925, operated A passenger
carrying automobiles. This number
includes the cars used by the high
way department, the university, the
two teachers colleges and the four
State institutions, rs well as all
other departments.
The State Highway department,
with two thousand miles Of highway
to maintain, in addition to it's con-
struction program, uses a consider
able number of trucks, as do the
State institutions, the total number

these institutions. IN order to make
a fair comparison, only the students
who graduated from the schools OF
the county are listed at the uniyer-
sity The adult students are not
included The percapita cost is
based upon the average enrolment
so that each county may be charged
with the additional benefits for its
adult students. The registration of
adult and high school graduates in
Pima county brings the enrolment
in that county up to 1856.

system?
In addition to this, the University
OF Arizona has been enlarged and
improved until it is now recog lied
as class A institution. by the Asso-
citation Of American Universities.
The Tempe and Flagstaff educational
institutions have been improved so
that they now rank as colleges.
In 1920 the State established the
practice OF paying $25 per capita,
based upon average attendance, TO-
ward the cost of education in com
mon and high schools.
1t is interesting to note lhat the
taxes for 1925-26 for State purposes
are less than they were in 1919
over a million dollars less than they
were in 1921, and that they will be
less in 1862 than they were in
1886.

A Comparison of
State Taxes

Taxes in the State of Arizona nat
uTally divide themselves into two
clasifications: Taxes prior TO the
war and taxes after the war This
arbitrary division is made because
it was in 1917 that the Federal gcv-
eminent began to contribute to the
federal aid system for the building
of roads. The per cent system
was adopted in 1921. Since that
time, some 1000 miles of State nigh
ways have been constructed up to
Federal aid standards, and these
roads must be maintained. The State
has also constructed nearly 100 ex-
pensive bridges.
This represents millions Of dollars
Of additional expense which we did
not have in the early years Of state
hood. The question occurs, would

percapita for each Of the 5S,4l9
children attending school, and 70
per cent Of the money raised for
highway purposes, which amounts 10
$1,sa3,94S.
The actual het amount raised FOR
State purposes ls Sa,185,040. or IL
per cent Of the total amount Of taxes
raised.
It will also be interesting TO note
that of the S3,165,040 raised For State
purposes In the year l925-26, and not
counting the money spent for perma-
nent improvements In connection
with roads and bridges. $674,200 was
spent for the purchase Of land, erec-
tion OF buildings and other capital
investmentS.

10 not a single county thae does not
raiae more money In direct taxes for
eouaty, city, town and district pur-
posea than 10 raised for State pur-
poses, This Is significant, 1t means
that the bulk OF the cost Of govern
suent lies In the local expenses Of
each county, city, town and district
rather than Ia the State,
Particular attention Is directed to
the fact that Of the s4,750.352 taxes
raised In Maricopa county. only ia
per cent or s351.534 Is spent for
actual State purposes,

county. They show, among other
things, that education receives 80
per cent; interest and redemption
on outstanding bonds, 34115 per cent.
The Winslow mail., 1926-05-28

1t will, therefore, be noted that the
increase in State taxes from this
source amounts to $21O,475 more for
the current year, than for 192O-21
when taxes reached their high peak
in Arizona.
1t might also be interesting to note
that the number Of students attend
ing the State university has nearly
doubled within the past five years.
The same is true of the Tempe
Teachers college.

Rules on Tolls of

An order was handed down by the
Public Utilities Commission yester-
day in the matter of the complaint
of the Knox and Montville Telephone
Company VS.. the Liberty and Belfast
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
The Commission DEGREES that on all
toll messages transmitted between
stations on the Knox and Montville
Telephone Company and stations on
the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company and connecting
companies, routed through the ex-
changes of Center Montville and Bel
fast the revenue according to the
Liberty and Belfast Telephone and

+, shall be prorated by the payment by
| the Liberty and Belfast Tel. & Tel.
Co, to the Knox and Montville Tel.
Co of sum equivalent to 14.5 cents
per message originated by the Knox
and Montville Company.
The order of the Commission says
in part:
"The report submitted by the toll
rate engineer of the New England
Company has been furnished to rep
reSentativeS of both the complainant
| and the respondent companies, and it
is mutually agreed by these two tele-
| phone companies that the division or
! prorate as contained in said report
is acceptable. We find this division to
| be fair and reasonable"
