WHY THE TAN LEVY Is INCREASED.

The impression has gone forth that the
recent session OF the Kansas lesislatur"
WAS more eXtrayaeant III the matter of
making appropria tons than any legislature
which has gone before. hut this IS an error
in the sense that will be shown in the fol-
lowing brief analysis: The total appro-
pria,ions for the ensuing two Years amount
10 sS.S.:i090. but Of this sum $4,000 wa
for tendencies which should have been
met h.. the legislature of two years ago.
And there Is stiu 10 be taken away siii,5to.
which WAS appropriated for repairs and
new public buildings, leaving appropra
iions Of bu; s2.ssi.5.o forl the net ordinary
expenses. This IS a less sum than WAS
appropriated 10y the legislatures of two
and four years ago. and really the recent
legislature prac,iced great economy.
But the fact remains that the legislature
increased the tax levy for stale purposes
from T.: mills 10 . mills and some eX-
PLANTATION OF this seems 10 be necessary.
At the beginning It may be said that this
increase should have been made by the
legislatures OF four years ago and two
years ago. for II was needed then just as
much as now. Both of these former leg
isiatnres were well aware that the existing
tax levy WIS bound to result in def
cheney. but for political reasons both shiank
from the increase which was imperative!y
demanded. More than four years ago State
Treasurer Atherton warned the lesisla-
ture and the people that there was sure
10 he a deficiency and II came during his
term just as /, did during the term Of
his Populist successor. Instead OF meet
ing the plain business proposition which
laid before them. both political parties
threw dust In the eyes OF The people by
accusing each other OF extravaganza, when
as a simple matter of fact the legislatures
had failed 10 provide revenue enough to
meet necessary expenses.
OF late years Kansas has been growing
In population. and the needs Of her public
In wealth she has been Increasing even
faster than IN population, and if property
which rich,fu!!y belonged under taxation

Ii will be observed that from IS!a - l>.l

involves the belief that Kansas real estate

these things cannot bc. The same inilu-

property and prostration for one means
pr"s;ration for all.
/, seems clear. then. that the cause for
the Increased tax levy les in the success Of
III. taN d"dgcr rather than in the cxtrava-
gancc- OF the legislature. II Is stated by
,i;. Massachusetts tax commission that an
investigation in twelve states revealed that
real estate and personal property were
about equal in value. That being the case
it is obvious that In Kansas something like
s9,""",ooo In personal property is escaping
all taxation. At tn. same time II Is equally
obvious that real estate is escaping a fair
taxation. for the Kansas assessment is not
based on true values AZ all. Some citizens
are paving too mrch and some too little If
the property of Kansas were assessed all
around n lis true market value the tax
levy would fail somewhere in the neigh

agrees that reform il the assessment laws
