STATE BOARDS DO NOT SHARE IN TAXMONEY Departments Are Financed by Fees Collected, Officials Say. BY DAV M. KIDVET State government In Indiana doesn't cost a cent In direct taxation, so far as boards and departments at the statehouse are concerned. This conclusion can be drawn from the premise advanced by statehouse tax experts today, discussing the tax rate, which will be decided Wednesday. It is planned to maintain the present state rate of 29 cents. Why the statehouse business does not share in this levy is figured out as follows: Twenty of the 29 cents goes for schools and educational expenditures, and the remainder is required to support penal and benevolent institutions of the state. Paid Into General Fund Therefore, statehouse boards and commissions are financed through fees collected. The money, however, first is paid into the general fund and then appropriated by each department presenting a budget request. Property tax levy for the general fund is 16.25 cents, 9 cents of which goes to support the two state universities and two state teacher colBudgets of these schools this year are $1,825,000 for Indiana university, $1,775,000 for Purdue, $463,000 for Indiana State Teachers’ college at Terre Haute, and $423,310 for Ball State Teachers’ college at Muncie. Combined budgets of the four schools amount to $4,486,310, which requires approximately the 9 cents of the general fund levy. 20 Cents for Schools In addition to this deduction from the general fund there is a special levy of 2 cents for buildings at these schools. Then there is the common school levy of 7 cents, and the teachers’ retirement levy of 2 cents, making special school levies 11 cents in addition to the 9 cents from the general fund, or a total of 20 cents. Other special levies are 6 cent for the World war memorial, .25 cent for the board of agriculture, .2 cent for the Indiana Dunes state park, .2 cent for forestry, and .5 cent for the state library building fund. This makes all special levies total 12.75 cents, which, added to the 1625 cents general fund levy accounts for the 29 cents total. PERRY H.
