FACTS AND FIGURES.

COMPARATIVE STATE TAXATION
The following table shows the State
taxes of the different States mentioned
for the year 1872, as given in their
Treasurers' or Auditors reports. The
number Of mills on the dollar of assessed
valuation is calculated from the U. S.
Census returns of 1870, vol. ill.,, page 10.
The Michigan percentage of State tax
is put on the same basis with that of all
the other States, and not on our equal
ICED valuation, which, although higher
than the supervisors assessments, falls
far short of the cash value of property,
as contemplated by law. Even in 1873
the State tax in Michigan was only 3.6
mills on the dollar of the assessed val.
uation of 1870, so that the State tax
which excites so many Democratic
groans is less than in anyone OF nine states
given below. Iowa IA Republican State)
has no State debt, aud is the only State
bearing lighter tax than Michigan in
1872. Most of our figures had been
collected byAuditor General Humphrey,
in note to page xiv. of his last report ::
