Present methods of property classification make it virtually I impossible to determine what proportion of the property tax as-isI paid by various economic groups whose property is locally I sessed, such as manufacturing, business and trade, agriculture, and private home owners, Utah Fondation researchers say. Utah ranked 4th among the eleven Western States in the per- 1 centage of state and local tax revenue that comes from general I property taxes. During the 1951 ficsal year, slightly more than 50 ter cent of all state and local tax revenue collected in Utah , came from property taxes, according to Utah Foundation figures. It has been necessary to levy a state property tax for general state purposes only four times during the last seventeen years. ' However, 1952 was the first year that Utah has not levied a state 4 property tax for school purposes. V ? According to a report recently released by the U. S. Office of Education, Utah provides a larger portion of local school revenues through state aid than do a majority of the other states in the nation. The Utah Foundation study points out that all present tax revenues are now being required to meet t existing public school state aid committments. Therefore, any additional state aid must be met by a state property tax. Simii-arl'A any increase in local school finances will have to be met by higher local property taxes. Thus, the school finance problem involves two basic questions. (1) what are the financial requirements of the public schools, and (2) which level of government should liVy the added property tax, should additional funds be needed? j non-proper- ty y, Tremonton.
