According to Utah Foundation calculations, the actual funds for the operating program this year (1958-59- ) amount to $9,-01- Hospital Notes BIRTHS In order to finance such a maximum program without further election, San Juan School District would have to impose a local tax levy of 21.00 mills ($21.00 per $1,000 assessed valuation) for operations. Utah Foundation points out that the district imposed a total local levy of 15.50 mills this year for school operating purposes. The new law would permit San Juan School District to maintain a school operating program costing up to $10,336 per distribution unit, if the voters were to approve the maximum allowable leeway in a special election held for that purpose. In order to finance this maximum school program, however, a local property tax of 24.18 mills for operating purposes would have to be imposed throughout the district.

This was one of the findings hensive changes laws. Under 8, 1959 JL Foundation analysts note that the increased cost of the new enlarged school program will be borne almost entirely by the state. Based on preliminary 1958-5- 9 data, the states obligation under the new school finance laws will be increased by approximately per year compared with continued operation of the present formula. In addition, because of increasing enrollments, the states obligations will rise by $2 million a year during each of the next several years. A cumulative increase of $2 million per year in school operating requirements from enrollment increases alone confronts the state with raising $8 million in added school revenue for the biennium.

Utah Founda' tion, in a special study of state and local tax structures, points out that Utah along with Alabama, Mississippi Kansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico are the only states that make use of all the 12 leading kinds of taxes. Foundation analysts note that most tax authorities who have in Wyoming. Don't Delay, Shop Today studied the states tax structure have concluded that Utahs broad tax coverage is a strength rather than a weakness. These tax authorities suggest that the breadth of Utahs tax structure enables everyone to participate in paying for the cost of state and local government without placing an unduly restrictive burden on any one group or segment of the economy. In its examination of the tax structures of the 48 states, the Utah Foundation notes a marked diversity in tax patterns due to economic differences found in the severl states and varying philosophies concerning tax policy. repast.
