Don't Increase the Levy.

Governor Ansel does not favor
extending the time for paving
taxes and it is very probable
that there will be no extension
this year. We rather agree with
him as to the pcor economy OF
annually extending the time for
the payment of taxas, bat when
he comes with second PROPOSE
ton to raise the tax levy in or
der to put the State on a cash
basis we believe that he is max
ing a grave mistate OF course
it woald save the Stale The
money paid out in interest each
year if it could rua its business
y
on a cash basis. But raising the
tax levy would hardly accom-
plish this, even temporarily. AL
ready the tax levy is high enough
to defray all legitimate expenses
and with increased resources, add
ed to the tax levy on corpora
'tions, the aggregate revenue IN
creases year by year.
But there Is the legislature to
reckon with. If taxes were raised
so as to increase the States rev.
enue to a billion dollars a year
there are always enough dema-
gogues in the general assembly
who, seeking self-aggrandizement,
will make appropriations SO ex-
travagalt as to drain the treasury
and plunge the State into debt
ragain.
So, Governor, please don't
recommend increasing the tax
levy, unless you are prepared to
veto every reckless and extrava-
CANT appropriation gotten through
by hare-brained Statesmen, whose
main object is to make them
selves "soid" with their constitu.
ents by giving them with one
hand and, taking away with the
ether.
