INCREASED TAXATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES AFFECTS ALL CUSTOMERS OuT of every dollar paid by a patron to a public utility company or a railroad, a substantial part must be used to pay taxes. ■ , Taxes are a part of the cost of service, and taxation of public utilities and railroads is therefore of vital importance to all users of their services. The first semi-annual bill for taxes, assessed in 1930 has recently been paid. Real estate and personal property taxes paid this jear to governmental agencies in Indiana by public utility companies in the Midland United Company s group <, will aggregate $3,539,657.70. . These taxes go for the support of state, county and city governments and the public school system. In addition, the utility companies iu this group pay a large amount in indirect taxation, such as license fees on more than 1,000 motor vehicles, gasoline tax, fees on security issues, special assessments and other forms of supplemental taxation. Taxation of public utility companies in Indiana has in«creased rapidly during the last few years. Despite the fact that the public utilities already pay millions of dollars into the treasuries of the various governmental agencies of the state, recent attempts have been made to increase the tax burden. At the 1931 session of the Indiana general assembly, bills were introduced which if enacted into law would have increased the expenses and cost of electricity to every user in the State, retarded the use of electrical service and discouraged the future growth and development of the state. The proposal to place a tax on the kilowatt hours of electricity sold, which the state legislature wisely did not approve, would have compelled every user of electricity, large and small, indirectly to pay additional taxes into the general funds of the state, while those not using electricity would not be so taxed. This k naturally would have curtailed the use of electricity. • • The decreased consumption would have made it impossible for the electric companies to continue their policy of reducinir rates and the cost <»f doing:business would have been increased for every manufacturer and business man. Another bill proposed a tax on the poles of the transmission lines of the electric companies. Such a bill if enacted into law would have hampered future extension of transmission lines ami interconnection of communities, thereby curtailing v : a program which has resulted in greatly improved service throughout the state. It also would have obstructed the extension of electric service to the farm by making the cost of extending lines in the rural sections of the state practically prohibitive. Burdensome taxation schemes of this sort are not in the true interest of the commonwealth. Only as its public utility companies are given freedom to grow can Indiana go forward as an industrial state. [This is the first of a series of monthly advertisements published in the interest of a better understanding of principles governing operation of public utilities.
