THE FISCAL PROBLEM IN MISSOURI

sources of revenue for a period of years before considering
the current aspects of state and local finance. Accordingly,
three chapters are devoted to these subjects. Another
chapter deals with the tax system of the state, and two
chapters are given to tax administration. The first six
chapters consist largely of presentation and analysis of the
facts.
Attention is then directed to current fiscal problems. Possible
 changes in tax administration are considered in Chapter
VI, and in later chapters specific problems, such as farm
taxation, public school finance, and financing of the capital
needs of the state are analyzed. Also, tax burdens are discussed,
 as are possible sources of additional revenue. Finally,
other aspects of the problem as a whole are treated briefly
in a single chapter.
