The Indiana per capita cost Of

Mounting Costs in State Are
Shown by Federal
Analysis.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Run-

diana cost each citizen an average
Of $7.34 during 1925. or so per cent
more than the 1917 figure of S4.O6,
according to census bureaus analy.
sis Tuesday of State governmental
costs. The 1924 figure was $7.64.
The total 1925 figure for running
expenses was given as $22,420, 900. 1t
is upon this total that the per capita
hgores are estimated, exclusive Of
S1S,S99,O0O spent for permanent i'm.
provements.
Higher Than Other States
The analysis gives S40,514,OO0 as
Indiana's 1925 total revenue. This
is far higher per capita than the fig
ure for any of the surrounding
States, Hoosiers contributing on the
average $13.26 each to their State
government. against S4.7S each dur
ing 1917, or an increase of more than
100 per cent.
Illinois citizens contributed per

bordering State whose citizens pdid
more each than Indiana's, $16O4.
Tax Levy Scars.
The same startling increases since
1917 are shown in the Indiana gen
eral property tax levy. Each citizen
in 1925 paid an average of $4.S3 or
nearly $25 for a family of five, in
general property taxes alone. against
an average of 1924, or less than SIS
for family Of five, in 1917. Illinois
citizens paid $3.S3 each in general
property taxes, Kentucky $4.O4 and
Ohio 81 cents. Michigan had the
only higher figure among neighbor-
ing States, $500.
The analysis thus shows that Indi-
ana general property taxes impose a
far greater burden, proporrionate to
her population as against special
sources of revenue, such as gas
lakes, mo or vehicle licenses, and
earnings Of State departments, than
those of surrounding States. Indi
ana, with 100000 population, raised
$15,241 900 in general property taxes.
Illinois, with nearly 100000 people,
raised only $2O,S32, 900. Michigan,
with 100000 people, raised $25,OOO,-
900. Kentucky, with 100000 peo-
pie, raised only $685. 200 and Ohio
with 100000 people raised only
1925. 900.
