TEXAS RAILROADS PAY
SUBSTANTIAL PART OF
STATE’S TAX BURDEN
# Taxes is one of the large fixed charges connected with the op-
eration of Texas railroads. From the standpoint of the welfare of
state, counties and communities, railroad taxes are of mueh im-
portance. This annual obligation must be met from the earning
capacity of the rail carriers.
In 1931 the railroads of Texas paid a total of $8,303,108.47 in
federal, state, county, municipal and miscellaneous taxes. The dis-
. tribution of this amount to the various tax funds is shown below:
A Mount Paid Par Cent of '
« . Total Tax Paid
* UVS. Goverfflireffrr.......^..... $ 61,270.13 .74
State .... V.............. 1,954,435.47 £3.54
County ................... 1,146,669.97 13.81
Roads................... 1,699,764.15 20.47
Improvement Districts........... 175,606.87 2.12
Schools............... 1,437,152.74 17.31

Miscellaneous............*.. m 35,214.59 .42
Total ............;......$8 303,108.47 . 100.00
It can thus be seen that railroad taxes represent an important
and indispensable factor in tHe economic life of our state. They
help in a large measure to pay the expense of our state, county
and municipal government, build and maintain highways, pay
the cost of drainage and other improvements, and support our
schools and educational institutions.
*• •
It is the desire of Texas railroads to extend this helpfulness to
Texas counties and communities in carrying this heavy burden.
However, their ability to meet these obligations as they become
due depends upon their ability* to earn sufficient revenue with
which to pay this and other heavy expenses connected with their ‘
operation. ‘ * s
• RAILROADS HAVE ALWAYS SHOULDERED THEIR
SHARE OF RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE NATION, THE
STATE, AND THE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES THET
SERVE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TO THE EXTENT
OF THEIR ABILITY. ^
