Bri 3Q%mmsming 4 pa STATE AND LOCAL TAX REVENUES 113 has made greater use of this method of financing than has any other city of the group. State Tax Receipts IN Missourr AND OTHER STATES In this section the total state taxes of Missouri and the use made of the principal sources of tax revenue will be com- pared with similar data for the eleven states used as a basis for comparison throughout this study. In each case the absolute amounts are converted to a per capita basis, and in considering the important sources of tax revenue emphasis will be placed upon the per capita data as well as the per- centage relationships of collections from specific sources to tax receipts from all sources. It should be kept in mind that there is considerable varia- tion in the functions that are financed by the state govern- ments and in the degree to which certain functions, such as education, are financed out of state funds. Such variations obviously have some effect on tax revenues. It is not pos- sible, however, to make an accurate comparative appraisal of the factors that might cause such variations. Total Tax Receipts Table 35 shows the total state taxes collected in Missouri and the other states for the fiscal years! ended in 1923 to 1928, inclusive, and in Chart 3 per capita collections for 1928 are shown. In 1928 state tax collections in Missouri were exceeded by those in only four states of the group, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin. In 1923 state tax collections in Iowa and Indiana, as well as in the four states just mentioned, were larger than in Missouri. Exam- ination of the data for the intervening years indicates that, while in Missouri state taxes in each year reached a larger total than in the preceding year, such was not the case for a number of other states. It is not to be inferred that the in- crease in Missouri was spread gradually over the period of years. The increase was not distinctly gradual, but it was, nevertheless. continuous. On the other hand, the data for 1 “Fiscal year’ will not be used in the remainder of this section. . The data are for fiscal years ended in the calendar years as indicated.
