THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1956 State's Schools Keep Seeking Funds Bradley Andrew M. Bradley, budget secretary of Pennsylvania, said last night the schools in the state are constantly in contact with Harrisburg in search of operating funds. The only appropriation the schools have got so far this biennium was $43 million, which went to fourth class districts. The funds went to these districts since they were the hardest hit districts because of their relatively small .borrowing power, Bradley said. The budget secretary, wh o spoke at a meeting of the Ac counting Club, reiterated the ad ministration's contention that a classified income tax, like the one Gov. George M. Leader originally proposed, would be more justi fied than a sales tax Classified Tax Explained Economists have proved, he said, that the incidence of a clas sified income tax would fall on the tax payers almost as identi cally as the federal income tax. Whereas, the burden of a sales tax, he continued, would fall up on the lower income groups. As an example, he pointed out the fact that even those persons on public assistance would have to pay a sales tax. The revenue on some industries in the Commonwealth is not as high as national trends in the same industries, he said. Cigaret Revenues Drop The revenue from cigaret sales in the state dropped , sl l / 2 . million during the period of adverse pub licity concerning lung cancer, Bradley said. No tax legislation has been passed so far because the two political parties differ so greatly in their tax philosophies. One factor in favor of an in come tax is that during one year only 10 per cent of Pennsylvan ians have savings which would be affected by this tax, while 50 per cent of the people spend more money than they earn. The latter, and larger group, would be more heavily affected by a sales tax, he said. This tax policy is based on the "ability to pay" philoso phy.
