Book excerpt: Excerpt from Special Report of the California State Board of Equalization: On the Relative Burden of State and Local Taxes in 1912 Inasmuch as questions have been raised as to' the adequacy of the present state revenues to meet the increasing demands upon the state treasury, and inasmuch as the equity of the rates of the state taxes depends upon whether they impose a burden equal to, or greater or less than, the average taxes levied upon property not taxed for state purposes, it becomes the duty of the State Board of Equalization, under section 3692 of the Political Code, and in furtherance Of its powers under other statutory provisions, to collect and report such data as may be pertinent to a determination Of' any questions of equality or equalization. The Board has therefore pursued an investigation along two lines first, it has endeavored to ascertain the proportion of the local taxes to the true value of the property taxed for local purposes throughout the state; and, second, it has endeavored to ascertain the ratio of the state taxes levied upon the public utilities to the value of the property used by them. With the data there are submitted such explanations Of the methods of collection as may be necessary to an understanding of the significance of the facts. NO specific recommendations are made, for the reason that the data seem to be sufficient in and of themselves for the forming of a judgment of what it is proper to do in the premises.
