Olympia.-The tax commission in
its biennial report will say:
The expenses of state government
are paid from appropriations made to
cover a fiscal period of two years, and
IN order to make a fair comparison
between receipts and expenditures it
is necessary to take into account the
receipts for like period.
During the biennial period ending
September 80, 1910, the receipts from
direct taxes were S3,444,415.16, the in.
direct revenues $2,9S2,2O115, making
the total receipts into the general
fund $6,426.616.31.
The expenses of state government,
as indicated by the appropriations
made by the legislature of 1909 to
cover the biennium ending April l.,
1911, and payable from the general
fund, amounted to $6,668,347.22.

Washington's Gain Highest.

The state of Washington carries off
the banner for rate of increase in
population between 1900 and 1910. It's
present population, 1,141,990, exceeds
that Of 1900 by 623,8S7, or gain of
1904 per cent.
No other state in the Union showed
so large an increase. Oklahoma is
second with 1897 per cent gain. and
idaho is third with 1913 per cent.
Census Director Durand called at.
tention to the fact that the rate of
growth of population during the past
10 years was greater than in any
ether part Of the country, the average
inc.ease for Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, taken collectively, being 94.6
per cent.

Marquette, Mich, March 1O-The
suggestion of e. ". Merriman. cntef of
the federal biological survey, that the
raising OF deer offers a possible solu-
tion of the meat problem has been re-
ceived with much interest in upper
Michigan. There is no better region
IN the countr for testing this theory
than the upper peninsula, Were there
IS ready at hand plenty OF stock with
which to start ranches of this kind
That deer are capable OF a consider
able degree of demonstration is hown
at Pressure Isle Park in this city. where
a good-sized herd is fed on bran and
other cattle feed the year round. the
animals apparently preferring that
class of fodder to the natural food that
is available. The deer turn up at feed
ing time as regularly as would as many
cattle, and they pay little attention to
the coming and going of visitors.
Deer are prolific breeders The herd
at Grand Island the Cleveland Cliffs
Iron Co.'S game preserve, has increased
so rapidly that last fall. when it's mum
bers considerably in excess of 1,00O
the preserve was thrown open to
hunters in order that the number Of
animals might be reduced. The deer
and other game, notably the elk, have
cleaned up much of the natural food
on Grants island and 1t has been
necessary to cut down their number to
prevent a famine. Latterly shipments
of game have been made to various
cities throughout the country.
