Maricopa's Share In State Expenditures


Quite frequently the complaint is raised in Phoe-
nix that the distribution Of state appropriations is
unfair because Marcopa county fails to obtain at least
third OF everything, which, it is claimed should be
allowed because Of population, not though on ac-
count of assessed valuation Road funds it constant
y is being asserted, expended unJustly for the
that the largest portion of the gasoline reven-
ues comes from Maricopa county,
The fact that the capital Of Arizona is in Phoe-
nix, which makes it so that the bulk OF the money
used III operating the state government Is spent in
Marcopa county, never is emphasized by Phoencians.
The Evening Courier hereinafter will cite the
expenditures Of division Of the state government
(the state tax colssion) for printing supplies, just
enc item among great many, which will show how
MarcOpa fares In comparison to the other thirteen
counties The record of warrants in the state audi

The Unfair Occupational Tax

The City of Phoenix has adopted drastic occll-
pational tax the most unfair tax known to man.
The reason given, rather the excuse offered,
is that the authorities desired to keep the property
tax from being further increased The occupational
tax is expected to raise $4,000 annually It is pre-
sumed that If the city authorities fearful OF the
high property rate it entered their collective
heads to lOp $4,000 off of the budget If past eXper
ence is any teacher we will witness raise in the pro-
pery rate one year hence and the occupational tax
will remain In other words when the mounting pro-
perty tax frghtens officialdOm kind of tax is
worked out but after the people become accustomed
to it the property tax is again raised In other words
each additional tax is piled On top of all other taxes,
and a tax once imposed is seldom if ever repealed.
The occupatiOnal tax is the most unfair tax ever
devised It violates every tenet Of the principle that
taxes should be levied the ability to pay Just an
example, the poor struggling lawyer. the young fel-
low Just getting started with hardly sufficient busi
ness to pay office rent pays just much tax does
the old established law firm with lucrative practice
The occupationa tax is wholly unfair and can be JUS
titled in not single particular 1t does not reduce
at least to any appreciable extent the property tax
Nearly every person that it reaches also pays pro-
ery tax therefore it simply collects the same amount
Of taxes under different name but from the same
people.
Occupational taxes were first devised as a means
of promoting monopoly-an additional weapon for
the strong to use against the weak. It is unfair
unjust tax and it is to be hoped that the business and
professional men Of Phoenix will protest with such
vehenence that the city authorities will wipe it i'm
mediately off the statute books.
Just as long as the general public remains mar
ticuate, just that long will taxes continue to be piled
on taxes, but once the poor overburdened forgotten
taxpayers make is known to public officials that
halt in spending must be called, the officials will heed
the warning. It is fine to have everything we want
both in public affairs and private lfe but the city
which continues spending above it's means, just
individual is headed straight for whale of lot Of
trouble. *f"* sr&~pe "a ~'s4i
Not only could the City Of Phoenix lop off So
900 from it's current budget but twice that amount
could be saved with little if any impairment Of eff
fciency If the citizens protest loud enough and long
enough it is certain that the city commission will
commence saving rather than seeking new methods
Of evacting dollars from it's citizens Dunbars Week
