The Ely miner., 1930-05-09

Of all the problems confronting the
American people today, the most per-
picking and the one having the least
consideration, is the tax problem.
The cost of state, county and mum
icipal government operation is steadily
increasing year by year and most
careful analysis shows that these costs
are increasing at a much more rapid
rate that the increase in value of tax
able properties.
For example, a summary of the
financial statistics for the state of
Missouri made by the United States
Department of Commerce, shows that
the outlay for each person for state
government in 1926 was $3.50 while in
1917 it was 1881. In 1927 the per cap
ita debt was $19.93 while in 1926 the
per capita debt was $19.44 and in 1917
only $201 In 1927 the state tax levy
per capita was S1.84, in 1926 it was
$1.66 and in 1917 only S1.02 In 1928
the cost of operation Of state govern
ment had again increased to S6.81 per
person. Thus you will see that the
cost of government had more than
doubled in the ten year period, and
that the per capita tax levy increased
in nearly the same proportion, and
nothing short of a steady increase in
taxable values can meet this condition,
and without steady increase in tax
able values only increased tax levy on
properties now existing will meet the
problem of these increasing costs.
The state of Missouri is not an ex-
ception, on the contrary, the rapid
growth of its larger cities has aided
them in keeping down their tax levies
to where they are much lower than in
many other states and the slowing
up of building activities or curtailing
of their mercantile interests, must of
necessity mean an increased tax levy
which is already a burden upon the
taxpayer.
Confronted with these conditions,
what, if anything, is the taxpayer him.
self doing to change or relieve the sit
uationA Is he in any way trying to
increase the taxable wealth of his
town or community, or is he by his
own acts actually decreasing the tax
able values of his town, county and
state? If he earnestly desires to in
crease the taxable assets Of his state
and community, then he must of nee
eSSity spend and invest his money in
such a manner as will cause it to re-
main within reach of his local asses
sor If by his efforts he earns some
hundreds of thousands of dollars each
year, and disposes of it in such way
that it will remain within his own
state and county, then he has in
creased the taxable wealth of that
county and state, and at the same time
taken a step toward reducing the rate
The Ely miner., 1930-05-09

of taxation. But, If his money is
spent in such a manner as will cause
it to be taken away from his state
and community, then it is inevitable
that higher tax levy must and will
be made in order that the expense of
the government can be met.
Today, every state, county and city
is facing that condition. Millions of
dollars are being spent with chain
stores and catalogue houses. Most of
this money is going out of the state
and community in which it is spent,
and as result such states and COM
munities are growing poorer in tax
able values, while those who are
spending their money have gained
nothing by the transaction.
The independent merchant who for
many years has been a. loyal taxpayer,
and whose earnings have all been in
vested in his home town and state Is
slowly ceaSing to exist. The beautiful
homes and substantial business build
ings which have been built from his
earnings are in many instances worth
les than one-half of their original cost
and with such condition taxable
values in most small towns have de-
creased more than so per cent, and
hundreds who were once prominent
citizens of the community as well as
liberal taxpayers, are seeking other
fields of endeavor, and other means
of support, and yet the patronage of
the chain store and catalogue house
increases with no good reason or ex-
cuSe.
rfa{1 ,I,.aI
stores went out of business in period
of a little more than three years.
Each of these stores paid an average
annual tax of $500 and therefore a
total of $150000 was stricken from the
tax rolls of that state annually. The
state referred to was already showing a
deficit. 1t was pointed out that the
average home in the small towns paid
an annual average tax of less than
SIPS, therefore each of these stores
paid a tax equal to four average
homes. If twelve hundred homes in
any state should burn in any three
year period, in addition to the normal
annual loss and with no insurance
would it not prove source of worry
to the taxpayers of the state? And
more especially, if this was to be re-
peated in each one of the next two
or three three-year periods? This is
exactly what is taking place with the
mercantile establishments of every
state today.
Hundreds of small towns have
practically ceased to exist, and the
homes and business buildings of such
towns have little or no value.
