Dr. Burke notes 1934 state income reached 3,999,909 with West Virginia taxing a smaller share than the nation. State and local government expenditures averaged 12 percent, peaking at 16 percent in WV versus 17 percent national average and 28 percent maximum. Utilities now shoulder 40 percent of direct and indirect taxes, up from 33 percent previously. Since 1929 utilities valuation rose while others fell.
