TW O THE NEVADA TAX REV $734,812.00. T h is estimate is based on an average increase in the individual grants o f $6 per case per month. T h e average m onthly case lo ad last year was 2305. T h e average m onthly grant was $26.56 per case. M O T H E R S ’ P E N S I O N S M oth ers’ Pensions am ount to only 3 .7 3 % o f the total cost o f direct relief. T h e $42,260.94 spent fo r this purpose is only about one-fourth o f w h at the annual cost o f an A id to D ependent C h ildren p ro gram under the Social Security A c t w o u ld be, according to a study m ade by the State W e lfa r e D e partm ent last year. A c c o rd in g to that study, w hich used the m axim um figures, the top annual cost w o u ld be $172,728, divided betw een fed eraT $86,364, state $43,182 and counties $43,182, U n d e r an A i d to D epen den t C h ildren program , the costs to the counties w o u ld be in creased but a very little. Perhaps they w o u ld decrease slightly since the estimates used take into consideration the m axim um benefits possible. T h e state w o u ld have to provide a fu n d at least equal to w h at the counties are spending n ow . T h is w o u ld require a 1 % to 2 cent state-wide tax levy on each $100 o f valu ation. T h e $42,260.94 spent fo r M oth ers’ Pensions last year does not include the amounts spent by the in dividu al counties to m aintain orphans at the State O rp h a n s’ H o m e at Carson City. T h e cost o f M oth ers’ Pensions to the various counties should increase somew h at next year, as a change in the la w g o v e rn in g these pensions goes into e ffect. T h e o ld la w provided that mothers w ith out other means o f support, having dependent children u nder the age o f 16 years, w ere entitled to a m other’s pen sion ra n g in g fro m a m axim um o f $25 fo r mothers w ith one dependent child to a m axim um o f $75 to mothers w ith three o r m ore dependent children. T h e la w w as changed to apply to dependent children u n der the age o f 18 years in stead o f the form er 16 years. B L I N D A I D B lin d A i d last year am ounted to less than on e-h alf o f one per cent o f the total cost o f direct relief. T h e $5,447.64 spent by the counties last year fo r this type o f assistance w ill increase at least 50% fo r next year, b rin g in g the total to a m inim um o f about $7,500. T h is is because the state legislature a p p ro p riated $12,000 fo r the next biennium to assist the counties in p ro v id in g aid to the blin d.

RUSSELL, JR., Elko U N EM PLO YM E N T COMPENSATION PAYRO LL TAXES BN E O F the most burdensom e taxes on business, large and small, is the Unem ploym ent Com pensation Payro ll T a x . A ft e r five years’ experience w ith this tax, it is w e ll w orth w h ile to take a lo o k at the results. T h e accom panying table shows the five-year operation o f this tax in the eleven W este rn States. These figures are fo r the operation o f the trust fund, a fu n d held by the fe d eral governm ent fo r the various states. Since these figures are taken from federal governm ent records, they are not complete. Because the records are fo r transactions o f the trust fu n d only, the figures fo r amounts paid in by em ployers are a little less than the actual taxes paid, and die figures fo r amounts paid in benefits are somewhat greater than the actual benefits paid by the states. H ow ever, fo r comparative purposes, the figures w ill give a fair idea o f the w ay this tax has operated in these several states and fo r the U n ited States as a whole.
