Indiana Taxes Now Average $79 Per Inhabitant

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 17 In terms of annual expenditures, goverment in Indiana is reported as a $271,766,000 "business" in the 1947 Indiana Tax and Social Security Manual, biennial publication of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, scheduled for release this month, rCiting the rise in governmental expenditures from the 1933-34 depression' low of $148,000,000 Manual points out that current costs are the equivalent of $79.28 per Indiana inhabitant. In its review of governmental financing trends from 1929, the Manual claims that the expenditures of government through the

arms of the statehouse, court

houses, city and town halls, and the schools of the state, reach into the homes and businesses and directly affect the living of

every Indiana citizen. Although

expenditures have reached an all-time high, the Manual citas

state and local revenues totalling $302,175,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1,946.

Turning to the federal tax bill

in Indiana, as measured by federal tax collections through the

Indiana office of the U. S. Col

lector of Internal Revenue, the

Manual analyzes the period from

1930 to 1946. Jt reveals that on a

per capita basis, the federal tax bill in Indiana soared from $8.12

to $262.58 for each man, woman,

and child in the state.

'Indiana local units of govern

ment are spending approximately

twice as much money as the

state government ($182,000,000

against state expenditures of

$90,000,000 in 1945-46) but are depending heavily - upon the crutch of state and federal aid,"

the Manual contends. "From

these and other sources they are

receiving approximately 34 per

cent of their revenue."

From the standpoint of out

standing public indebtedness, the state and local government units

are in the best condition of any

time since the start of the de

pression period, the Manual says.

Outstanding public indebtedness

in Indiana dropped from a

$200,000,000 level in 1930 to $96,-

000,000 at the end of 1945.
