THE FARM TAX PROBLEM IN MISSOURI 215 taxes to the value and income totals are compared, the real significance of the data becomes apparent. Such ratios are shown in Table 68, and the twelve states are ranked on the basis of the respective ratios. This table shows that in 1927 the general property tax on farm property was equivalent to 4.99, of the gross income from farm production and 6.1%, of the cash income from farm production in Missouri. When the estimated amounts paid on account of motor vehicle licenses and the gasoline tax are added to the general property tax, it is found that the three taxes amounted to 5.9%, of gross income and 7.3%, of cash income. In respect to each of these ratios of taxes to income, Missouri ranked eleventh among the twelve states. The ratios for Missouri were found to be less than one half as large as those for Indiana and Ohio, which ranked first and second, respectively. An objection might be raised concerning the gross value, gross income, and cash income data, as shown in Table 67, on che ground that there is considerable variation from year to year and from state to state in the value and income factors. In order to obviate such an objection, Tables 69 and 70 were prepared. The tax data in these tables are the same that were used in Table 67, but the data for gross value of crops, gross value of animal products, gross income from farm pro- duction, and cash income from farm production represent averages for the years 1926, 1927, and 1928. The data for these years were averaged in order to secure more representa- tive figures as a basis for comparison. Table70shows that the ranking of Missouri remained unchanged when the data were averaged for the three-year period. There are certain changes in the ranking of other states in Table 70, as compared with those in Table 68, but Indiana and Ohio ranked first and second, respectively, as in the previous table, and Arkansas ranked last. Tables 67 to 70 tend to support the conclusion reached previously, namely, that farm taxes in relation to the income factor are lower in Missouri than in other states. They indicate also that farm taxes in Missouri are on approxi- mately the same level as in Arkansas. Since the data in these tables are for a more recent year than the net rent studies, they indicate that farm taxes in Missouri have
