County Residents Pay 81 Cents for Each Federal SI
New York-Are the numer
ous federal aid programs that
are available for the benefit
of state and local govern
ments a bargain or an expen
sive luxury as far as Jackson
county is concerned?
How much does it cost resi
dents of the county in taxes
for every dollar that comes
back in the form of federal
aid? i -
' On the basis of data gath
ered from, the , Tax Founda
tion, from the treasury de
partment and other agencies,
the cost locally is less than
the grants-in-aid that are pro
vided. ,-. .
Of the total collected in
taxes in Jackson county in
the past fiscal year, approxi
mately $2,690,000 went to
Washington for the federal aid
program. What came back in
the way of grants was an esti
mated $3,295,000.
The figures are a break-
CREEN TO SPEAK
Portland-dlPJ-Portland State
President Branford P. Millar
has announced that Rep. Edith
Green (D-Ore.) will be the
principal speaker at PSC
graduation ceremonies June

down- of national data on a
state-by-state basis. They show
tax payments of $71,600,000
going to the federal govern
ment from the state of Ore
gon for the various aid proj
ects. : What did the taxpayers get
in return for that expendi
ture? A total of $87,900,000
in grants-in-aid, states the Tax
Foundation. , ,
These consisted of slum
clearance projects, aid to vet
erans, hospital and health
services, farm crop subsidies,
sewage treatment construction
and many others.
In effect, every $1 in fed
eral aid cost Jackson county
taxpayers 81' cents,, the fig
ures show.
This ratio varied widely
from state to state, with al
lotments to some states pro
portionately greater than
those to others. New Jersey
fared worst, having to pay
$2.14 for every $1 it got back
in aid. Alaska, on the other
hand, paid only 16 cents per
$1.
Some 100 types of aid are
available to , state and local
governments, reports the Tax
Foundation. In fact, the gov
ernment has published a 34
page booklet listing them.
