CHAPTER XIII GENERAL SUMMARY HE principal findings of this report relate to the | expenditures of the state and local governments; the indebtedness, state and local; the tax system and its administration, particularly the administration of the general property tax; state and local tax revenues; the farm tax problem; public school finance; financing the capital require- ments of the state; problems of tax burden; possible sources of additional revenue; and other aspects of the Missouri fiscal problem. State AND Local EXPENDITURES The expenditures of the Missouri state government have been much larger in recent years than in 1913 and in 1918. For 1928 net state expenditures amounted to $38.6 million, and gross expenditures were $44.5 million. The state highway construction program has been the principal factor causing increased expenditures. For the period 1923 through 1928, capital expenditures for highways amounted to $113.3 million, and those for highway mainten- ance were $12.1 million. The variation in highway expendi- tures has been the principal cause of the changes from year to year in the net and gross totals for state expenditures. Unlike highway expenditures, the disbursements of the state for education have been predominantly for maintenance. The latter function ranks second on the basis of the percent- age of total state expenditures. During the period 1923 through 1928 highways and education accounted for almost 709%, of the next expenditures of the state government. Other functions, expenditures on account of which are classified under net expenditures, ranked as follows: Protection, social welfare, general government, economic development, and miscellaneous. 1G
