ONE OF ME most interesting
bulletins I've seen on taxes came
out this week from the Oklahoma
Patio Expenditures council It
concerned the taxes paid into state
I c revenue funds and it shows that
the biggest part of the state tax
dollar is being expended for Public
welfare -
- The old age assistance aid to
dependent children and the blind
- composes the welfare fund drain
on the tax dollar It amounts to
‘' 311 per cent That's a big chunk
Next in the line of expenditur-
' es of the state's tax dollar comes
editcation which was 248 per cent
o' the dollar What with so many
:state institutions of higher educa-
ban state fund assistance to many
t
municipal junior colleges and state
aid boosts this expense is high
The final figures reported by
-' the -state budget officer reveals
that a total of 8279600000 were
' spent during fiscal year 1951 for
- state operations capital outlay and
aid to local governments This is
--- a tremendous amount of money
In A( ind it represents an increase -of
-
$7700 000 over the fiscal year of
1950 It is evidthit that it is not
only the federal taxes that have
been digging deeper and deeper
into the taxpayers' pocket
In addition to the expenditures
listed above the state tax dollar
is also going for highways health
and hospitals and miscellaneous
functions The state highway main-
' tenance repair and new construe-
- tion to 3 getting 246 per cent of the
state tax dollar health including
mental hea It h and hospitals
gets 66 per cent and the other
miscellaneous functiOns gets 79
per cent of the tax dollar EXpendi-
tures from federal t grants-in-aid
are included
These interesting figures become
somewhat alarming when the per-
'centages are compared with the
-six neighboring states or the Unit-
ed States as a whole For instance:
Education — Oklahoma 276 per
cent neighboring states 309 per
cent and U S 266 per cent
' Welfare —Oklahoma 323 per
cent neighboring states 269 per
i - cent and U S 204 per cent
' 1"1" Highways — Oklahoma 265 per
Cont neighboring states 24 per
cent and U S 223 per cent
Health — Oklahoma 56 per
cent neighboring states 62 per
cent and U S 92 per cent
All Other — Oklahoma 8 per
' cent: neighboring states 12 per
cent and U- S 215 per cent
