STATE AND LOCAL TAX REVENUES 121 state governments, and in a number of cases the local gov- ernments receive a portion of the collections from the gasoline tax on a basis other than state aid. In states in which a part of the tax automatically reverts to the local governments or the receipts are distributed to the local governments on a basis that does not constitute state aid, the total receipts from the gasoline tax may be much larger than in Missouri, although the receipts of the state government are not.! In 1928 Indiana obtained more than 339, of total state taxes from the gasoline tax, a larger proportion than that of any other state in the group. The small proportion for Illinois is accounted for by the fact that the tax was not in effect during the entire year. Of the other states, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin obtained from this source a smaller proportion of total state tax revenues than Missouri. Per capita gasoline tax receipts in Missouri amounted to $1.85 in 1928, a smaller amount than in any other state in which the tax was in effect during the entire year. In the preceding year Iowa and Ohio showed smaller per capita collections than Missouri. In both cases a change in the rate of tax accounted for the considerable difference between 1927 and 1928. Motor Vehicle Licenses The receipts of Missouri and other states from motor vehicle licenses are shown in Table 40. This table shows that in 1928 Missouri ranked fifth in amount of receipts’ from motor vehicle licenses and third in the proportion of total state tax revenue obtained from this source. Only Iowa and Wisconsin obtained in that year a larger proportion of total state revenue from this source than Missouri. Iowa ranked first in the proportion of total revenue obtained from motor vehicle licenses in all of the years for which data are presented. In two years, 1925 and 1926, Missouri ranked second to that state, while in 1923, 1924, and 1927 the rank of Missouri was third, as in 1928. Per capita receipts in Missouri from this source amounted LA table showing the allocation of the receipts from gasoline taxes in all of the states in the United States is presented in Appendix A, p. 346. 2 It is, of course, understood that the analysis in this section is based upon state receipts only.
