StaJe Expenses 81, 132, 340 Year
BY adding these various app opri-
ations it will be found that the
amount appropriated for expenditure
under state supervision and control
for the current fiscal period is $751;
264, 1872, or an average of $4,132,-
SAC per annum.
The state board of tax commits
sioners is in receipt of many COM
plants to the effect that taxes are
unjustly high, and among those COM
planning the impressions seems to
obtain to a great extent that this con-
dition is owing to expensive admin
istration of state affairs. The state
ment showing the amount of direct
and indirect revenues reveals the
fact that the total amount raised Off
general state purposes for the bien-
NAL period ending Sept. 80, 1910, was
$6,710,369, OF which $3,444, 415.16
or 51.3 per cent was from general
taxes and $3,265,954, or 4S.7 per
cent fro miscellaneous indirect
sources.
State and Local Government
The total of all taxes levied in the
state in 1909 for both state and local
purposes was $24,993,876, of which
amount $2,383,2 56 was for general
state purposes, $161,0S2 for militia
and $792,242 for state highways and
state aid roads; a total of $780,
ESQ raised by taxation and expended
under state supervision and control.
For county purposes, exclusive of
school funds, and to be expended un-
der the direction of the county COM
missiOners, there was levied $6,9S4,-|
2S5; for public school purposes and
expended by local boards of school
directors there was raised $S,517,-
444, this amount including the bare
foot school boy tax, which is dis
tributed to school districts accord
ing to school attendance and dis
bursed by local school boards. For
drainage, irrigation, dixie and other
district purposes there was levied
$142, SAC. Taxes levied for the city
purposes were $6,O31,021.
IN ut hnp 10 ,c he
levy of $24,993,875, there was 3d.
1886, 580.62, or 1873 per cent for state
purposes, and $21,657295, or 86.7
per cent for local expenditures.
School Levy Not State Tax
The state school, or so-called |
barefoot school boy" tax levy, while |
imposed upon the general mass of
property in the state by state ofIfc- |
ials, is in no sense a state tax. Out |
of a total levy of $3,4S7,533, levied |
and collectable during the present |
fiscal period, but 5,635 passed |
the state treasurer's hands, |
the state treasury merely serving as
a sort of clearing house for this
fund. A county treasurer, collecting
more than the amount apportioned |
to his county in accordance with |
school attendance, RENTS the over
plus to the state treasurer, who i'm
distributes it to the coun-
ties collecting less than their share.

MEXICAN REVOLUTI0NlST
SEEKS AID FOR SUFFERERS
De Lara Endeavors to Secure
Help of Red Cross

Effort are being put forth by Los
Angeles sympathizers with the Mex
lean revoutionists to secure aid Tor
the wounded and sick from the Red
Cross societies Of the United states
Reports have reached the MeXicans
who live in this city that many reVo-
lutionists, men, women and children,
are now in the mountains of Mexico
without food, clothing or medical at
tention. The wounded captured by the
Mexican government troops are put to
death at once or mistreated in the
iails and prisons and are given no med
ical aid.
l.. Gutierrez de Lara, member OF
the Mexican Liberal party, residing at
APO West Fourth street has received
communications from friends who have
lust returned from Mexico. 1t is stated
that more than 5000 revolutionists
have been driven to the mountains
with their sick and wounded. At least
800 of this number are wounded. They
were carried to the hills to prevent
their being seized by the government
officers and thrown into prison or
put to death.
According to De Lara the Red Cross
society of Mexico is not allowed to give
aid to these persons, and the only thing
that can be done is to have a foreign
society take the matter up. These arc
respected and Will be allowed to work.
He has started a movement in the
city by which he hopes to aid the peo-
ple who are fighting for what they
believe to be their rights.
