STATE TAX REDUCED.
About 0ne-Quarter Less Than For
Neutrality-suspicious. Yield Returns.

uHCttI SUt pUs ottOiio j tVtu uCtui No.
The tax for the support of the state
government this year will be one mill
instead of 1.3 mills as heretofore. The
assessed valuation of the state when
the work of the board of equalization
is completed will be approximately
$726. 0C0, 900, and the one mill revenue
tax will at that rate produce $725, 600
for the general expenses Of the state.
This, it is believed, will be ample as
the corporation taxes in all lines will
yield much larger revenue this year
than heretofore. the legislature has
kept the appropriations down, and the
state government has been economi-
cally administered.
State Auditor Dunn made up the
tax levy today and Fixed the revenue
tax at one mill straight instead of 1.3
mills, the amount the legislature au-
thorized.
This will make the total state tax
for all purposes 2. 80 mills. The one mill
tax for school purposes; lilo mill for
soldiers relief, 2-10 mill funding tax,
and .2S of a mill for the state univer-
sity are fixed by law and cannot be
altered by the state auditor.
The total state tax last year was 2. SO
mills. st. Paul Dispatch.
