208 THE FISCAL PROBLEM IN MISSOURI cash rent than in Missouri. The comparison also shows conclusively that the difference is not attributable to a difference in rents, but to a considerable difference in taxes per acre, which is a significant factor in itself. For the period as a whole the rent data for the two states are similar, but taxes per acre were more than twice as large for Ohio as for Missouri.

For the period as a whole, the taxes per acre were $1.31 for Indiana and $0.66 for Missouri.
