sources of revenue for a period of years before considering 
the current aspects of state and local finance. Accordingly, 
three chapters are devoted to these subjects. Another 
chapter deals with the tax system of the state, and two 
chapters are given to tax administration. The first six 
chapters consist largely of presentation and analysis of the 
facts. 
Attention is then directed to current fiscal problems. Pos- 
sible changes in tax administration are considered in Chapter 
VI, and in later chapters specific problems, such as farm 
taxation, public school finance, and financing of the capital 
needs of the state are analyzed. Also, tax burdens are dis- 
cussed, as are possible sources of additional revenue. Finally, 
other aspects of the problem as a whole are treated briefly 
in a single chapter.
