MILLIONS IN TAXES
PAID BY PEOPLE
Thirteen Per Cent Is For
State Purposes, 81 Per
Cent For Local

Olympia.-The tax commission IN
its biennial report will say:
The expenses of state government
are paid from appropriations made to
cover fiscal period of two years, and
in order to make q fair comparison
between receipts and expenditures 1t
is necessary to take into account the
receipts for a like period.
During the biennial period ending
September 80. 1910, the receipts from
direct taxes were $3,444, ,415.16, the in
direct revenues $2,9s2.20l.15. making
the total receipts into the general
fund $6,426,616.91.
THE expenses of state government,
as indicated by the appropriations
made by the legislature of 1909 to
cover the biennium ending April /,
1911, and payable from the general
fund, amounted to $6,66s,347.22.
In addition to the foregoing, there
was appropriated from the state high
way fund, for state roads. state aid
roads, etc, $1,575,000, and from the
military fund, for the maintenance OF
state militia and on account OF ar
mories, ETC.. $263.076O6. The state
highway fund is created by direct
tax of one mill and the military fund
by a direct tax not exceeding one
1ax-iad all fQY-
able property in the state. Under our
constitution they cannot be used for
any other purpose.
"The state board of tax commits
sioners is in receipt OF many COM
plants to the effect that taxes are un.
Justly high, and among those com
planning the impression seems to OBJ
tain to a great extent that this condi'
ton is owing to expensive administra-
ton of state affairs. The statement
showing the amount OF direct and in
direct revenues reveals the fact that
the total amount raised for general
state purposes during the biennial
period ending September 80. 1910.

"Out of the total levy of $24,ss3,-

died.

community by the missing one.
