This is the continued story of
state money-where it comes
from and where it goes. If you've
been sitting in on these sessions
the past several weeks, you
know this column dealt last week
with money that towns and cities
DON'T get from the state.
Up TO now, I've been telling
you mostly about where your
state money goes. This week, I'll
LET you know where it comes
from.
The biggest single source of
state money is. of course, gaso-
line taxes. Motorists forked over
S22.747. 42l.74 last year for gas
taxes. This rich and juicy tax
melon is sliced as follows: u
state road license fund-$12,998 :
$3.50, 90 state road distribution
sd, 499, 263.35, (3) general reve-
nue. fund - $1,624,815.99, AZ
county school fund-$l,624,816.
Intangible taxes yielded a ripe
harvest of $2,119,938.l6. The
people who paid this tax prob
ably were hurt less than any
other class of taxpayer.
The documentary stamp tax
brought in a bonanza of $1,O89,-
O37.55. There has been consider
able agitation for the repeal of
this lax. There are several other
taxes that need to be repealed,
or at least lowered, far more
than the documentary stamp tax.
The state tax escrow fund
tickled the state. treasury to the
tune of .$2,426,717.84. Florida
grieves to lose a wealthy citizen
but her sorrow is assauged some

general revenue fund, $311,-
5l6.58; (3) aid to dependent chill
dren, $3I,446.33; "a administra-
tive expense, $637,201 Sc. That
seems like a lot of administra-
tive expense, don't you think?
The beverage tax produced
1888, 72468, which was distrib-
uted as follows: Cd county
school fund $4,012,152.25; (2)
old age benefits SO, 400, 600. 90;
(3) aid to dependent children
$735, 1920; laaSgcneral revenue
