(UPI Telephoto) Federal Payments To States Reach All-Time Record Washington - Federal pay ments to state and local gov ernments hit an all-time high in fiscal 1959. Latest Treasury Department figures show that the Federal Government paid out $6.5 bil lion for federal-state pro grams like highway building and Social Security. Accord ing to Congressional quarter ly tabulations, this was more than double the amount paid out to state and local govern ments in the first year of the Eisenhower A d m inlstratlon and nearly triple the aver age for the last four years of the Truman Administration. 12 Cents on the Dollar An additional $3.1 billion was paid out in 1959 to groups and individuals, in the form of farm subsidies, Na tional Guard payments and the like, making a grand to tal of nearly $9.6 billion, al most double the 1949-52 Tru man average. President Eisenhower fre quently has voiced his desire to have more federal' pro grams, or larger parts of pro grams, taken over by the states, but the pleas usually fall on deaf ears in Congress and among state officials who already have their share of financial headaches. In creasing population, apparent Congressional sentiment in favor of Increased payments in such fields as highways, So cial Security and education, and other factors including inflation, point to a continu ing upward trend in federal grant assistance. Tax Collections Federal tax collections for 1959 were Just under $80 bil lion, so the $9.6 billion paid out in grants represented a return to the state of about 12 cents on every dollar col lected. The other 88 Cents, of course, went to federal items like defense. The amount re turned to states and individ uals was a higher percentage of the tax pie than iri previ ous years, due in part to the increase in federal highway spending. ani 500 and $(3)00 STORE Fluhrer Bldg. Oregon in fiscal 1959 re ceived a total of $117,490,000 in grants and paid the Feder al Government $491,917,000 in taxes. This placed it num ber 31 among the states in grants, and 30 in tax pay ments. Oregon accounted for .6 per cent of the total U.S. taxes and got back 1.3 per cent, of the grants. Oregon's grants amounted to $67 a person, compared to a high of $226 for Alaska and a low of $29 for New Jersey. No state got more In grants than it paid In taxes. Alaska and Mississippi came closest. Alaska got $43.2 million in grants and paid out $47.9 mil lion in taxes. Mississippi re ceived $173.1 million in grants and paid out $193.1 million in taxes. . California ranked first in dollar grants received and second in taxes paid. New York ranked first in tax pay ments and second In grants. Delaware ranked 50th in grants and 26th in taxes, the biggest gap in the rankings. Comparison of grants and taxes is not always reliable, since tax collection proce dures distort the picture of some states. North Carolina, for example, is credited with an extra $1 billion in tax pay ments because it is the collec tion point for most of the fed eral cigarette tax. Michigan and Kentucky, also collection points, account for about $1.1 billion and $500 million re spectively in automobile and whiskey taxes. The District of Columbia is excluded from rankings, since its federal taxes are paid through Mary land. Our Slate's Participation More than 100 different programs were included in fiscal 1959 federal payments to stales and individuals, but nine of them accounted for 73 per cent of tiie total. The nine programs, and the amount of money Oregon re ceived under them in fiscal year 1959, were: highways, $38,608,842; old age assist ance, $9,555,755; soil bank payments, $1,427,723; aid to dependent children, $5,535, 477; Air Force National Guard, $1,898,653; Army Na tional Guard, $4,455,744; vet erans' readjustment benefits, $5,641,150; temporary unem ployment compensation $344, 302; unemployment compen sation, $3,468,142.
