THURSDAY, OCTOBER T. Report Shows Utah Pays High Relative Tax for Schools . Funds for public schools in the United States could be increased by 60, if all states were to make the same relative tax effort as does Utah. This point was emphasised in a report released this week by Utah Foundation, the tax research orprivate, ganisation. State and local revenue sources produced $&2 billion in all of the states for the 1961-5- 2 school year, of the total representing 2.56 individual income of the nation. Utah provided $11.7 million of state and local revenue to the public schools in that year, or 4X9 of the total income payments in Utah. Had all states taxed as heavily as did Utah for public school purposes, another $3.7 billion would have been available to the schools of the nation, an increase of 00 over the actual revenue from state and local source). These calculations are based on the latest official data (1961-5supplied by the U. S.
