TO INCREASE
REVENUE
OF STATE

The project OF providing the state with
an increased revenue and also securing
enough ready cash TO care for such per-
manont improvements as the needed
changes at the College OF Agriculture, the
State Armory, the taking the state CEN
sIs and the completion OF the state Sana-
torium for Consumptives is one that is
worrying the watch dogs OF the general
treasury at the state house at the present
time. Every one conVersant with the n
pancial condition OF the state comedies
that IL is very needfIl that something be
dcne and the financial men or both
branches know a good remedy
The nature of this remedy for a part
OF the difficulty ~ a revaluaton OF the
state and they DO not suggest II as yet
because such a step has been always BIT
tsrly opposed by the cities and large
towns which are growing rapidly. IL Is
many years since there was a valuation
OF the state and It Is estimated that the
cIties are not paying anything like their
proportionate share OF the state tax.
Ir event OF "A revaluation on the latest
estimates the state would he over 800 900
better of on the state tax and that would
leave comfortable margin for current
expenses even with a slight Increase each
year for several years.
The appropriation bill passed yesterday
carried with II Il fl6,3l5 which with s244,
Si5 set apart for other purposes makes
81. .66l, ,l90 as the total appropriation.
The balance from last year was sS3s2s
ana the income Is estimated at 81. 663 900
making the total money available N,7l6,S2s
which shows that the balance left avail
able at the present time Is about $55, 79s
for all purposes.
COURT EXPENSE HEAVY
As II is estimated that the revision OF
tho judiciary will make an extra ex-
pense OF about $1,000 per annum aside
from the needed changes I'm the court
house arrangements IL will be seen that
something must be done along that line.
Al the present time there is probably
no other state that stands as well finan-
cially as does Rhode Island In the matter
~ freedom from debt as the state house
bonds are about the only ones that the
state has out now.
While the matter OF bonding the state
In regarded as 4 very good plan 10 care
for such permanent improvements as are
already under way IL Is not thought 20 be
the proper proc eadure for the solution of
the regular sums Of money each year "a
look ~rt for the current expenses for II
would have to be referred TO the people
ana then the bond Issue prepared and
placed on the market proceedings which
will take a great deal OF time, even If the
people approved.
That puts the hnanciers back 10 the
proposition for a revaluation which most
everybody admits would get the money
ali right II the legislators would only
agree upon II. II Is very probable thai
scme measure TO provide for the increase
IN the revenue will be reported in either
branch in the next few weeks and the
members are anx,ously awaiting its arri
val because II may prove the worst STUN
bling block that they have encountered
this session, even worse than the child la
