The rest waa distributed, an subsidies, among: the counties and municipalities. The subsidy totals were increased still further two years later, when the 1927 legislature increased the grasollne tax to three cents. The 1929 legislature gave the tax another boost, raising the levy to four cents a gallon. Revenue from the gasoline tax in 192S totaled $25,538,000. It increased to $33,114,000 in 1929.

This amount, incidentally, was nearly $11,000,000 more than the state spent for all purposes ten years earlier, in 1919.

Ing new metals and materials. Before the invention of the cyclotron the technical name for "Big Bertha" there were 281 stable nuclei in 92 known elements. Atom smashing has produced 232 new artificial radio-active nuclei.

For 1932 this tax produced $3,848,800, to add to the subsidy total. Next: Changing Taxes. 1937. There were some downward fluctuations during this period, particularly in 1932 when state revenues dropped so sharply that extraordinary economy measures had to be taken by Governor George White's administration. But, in general, these were more than made up for by later increases.

From the 1937 peak the state government's expenditures dropped considerably" in 1938, again because of a shrinkage in revenues, to a mark of $225,099,000. Judging from expenditures for the first 10 months this year. $191,778,000, the 19.39 total probably will be under the 1938 figure. Expenditures Irp If there is a decrease for 1939, it will be in spite of increased expenditures for such things as old age pensions, which will hit a new high with more than 125,000 persons on the pension rolls, and for the public schools of the state. These increases have been off set, at least in part, because the I administration of Governor John W.

Bricker has reduced purely I governmental operating costs, pri- i marily by cutting some 2,500 em- ployes off the state pay-rolls and by cutting maintenance costs. One of the major reasons why the annual expenditures of the state government have sky-rocketed during the last decade is the increasing practice of levying state taxes for distribution back to the counties, municipalities, town- ships and school districts.

Just how important these subsidy expenditures figure in the mounting total of the state government's annual disbursements is shown by the following table for the period since 1929.

The first important subsidies to local subdivisions were the state aid payments to financially weak school districts, whose taxable wealth was insufficient to finance adequate educational facilities, and the distribution of part of the automobile license revenues to counties and municipalities for highway purposes. Next to come along was the subsidy from" gasoline tax revenues. Direct state levies on real estate for highways, state-supported universities and welfare institution buildings were repealed back in 1923, as being no longer necessary in view of the revenue then being obtained from indirect taxes. Xo Longer Adequate Within two years, however, these indirect revenues were no longer adequate, particularly to meet highway requirements, and a two-cent a gallon gasoline tax was en-'acted by the 1925 legislature.
