vestors outside of Montana and there
fore the taxpayers will send about
$4,000 of interest out of the state.
These bonds were held by the
Permanent School Fund of the state
and the $470,16 would have been a
tax on Montana taxpayers for the
General Fund of the state to pay to
the school funds. $50 or little less
than $450,000 would have been dis
| tributed to the schools of the state
on the census basis and little over
$4,000 would have been added to the
Permanent Fund.
The school funds have thus lost
$40, 160 of state money which must
be made up in some way. The ST.
4O1,0 will probably be invested in
war bonds of the G series which pay
|2b % interest so that the loss to the
school funds would be 11a 90 or % of
$40 100 which is S176,310.
This loss of $176,31O to the school
funds will have to be made up by
local taxes.
We therefore find that the taxpay-
ers, to pay interest on new bonds and
to replace loss to the schools, will
have a tax bill of $296,310
The interest on the war bonds for
the same period as refunded bonds
would have been held will be S293,S50.
If Montana taxpayers should pay to
the federal government the average
amount of taxes they would pay $685.
$50 to the federal government so that
the federal government would have
the necessary money to pay Montana
$293,S50 interest on these bonds.
1t adds up as follows:
For the schools to replace the s47O,-
100 lost by refunding bonds, we find
the taxpayers will pay the following
taxes:
Local taxes to raise...-.-.-.....-.-.--.$176,310
Federal taxes to raise............. 293,S50
Statewide taxes to pay "out-of-
state bond holders" interest
on new bonds about. 100000
Total taxpayers load S590,160
Added burden to Montana taxpay-
srs $4,000. This amount will be re-
luced if Montana is state poorer
han the average as measured by fed
,ral tax payments.
Montana's per capita income is
lbout the same as the average for
he United States, but because of
,ther factors the per capita federal
axpayments are usually somewhat
ess. Taking this into consideration
he added burden or loss to Montana
will be somewhere between 100000
nd 100000.
Since $176,310 has been shifted
rom state funds to local units we
ave lost the equalization features of
his amount which results in a shift
ng of the load from the richer to
he poorer district. In other words,
he tendency will be to shift the load
rom school districts with concen-
rated wealth such as railroads, power
lants, wholesale and manufacturing
ouses, to the districts not including
hese concentrations.
