rear Asks Over
Three Millions In
Special Message

The sum of $3,29S761 is asked by
Governor E'rear in his budget, present
ed to the Legislature this morning, and
later covered in a bill introduced by
Senator Fairchild ana passed ON first
reading by title.
Il submit herewith" stated the Gov
crnor in his message, lin the form of
an appropriation bill, estimates for ap-
preparations for the next biennial pc
riod. These do not cover permanent
Improvements, estimates for which will
be submitted in a separate message.
1T will be noted that while the ag
grcgate considerably exceeds that of
the last general appropriation bill, it
is still considerably below the esti-
mated available funds The two largest
increases are for public instruction and
public health--two sourccsf for which
owing to lack OF funds. appropriations
have for some years been deplorably
inadequate and which are of such sur
passing Importance that they should be
adequately provided for now that there
are funds The next largest increase
arises from the transfer of certain
classes Of expenditures for agriculture
and forestry from the conservation
fund to the general funds these be-
ing FOR what might be deemed ordi-
nary operating expenses as .distin-
guished from advance work, or work
of more strictly conservation and de-
velopment nature Additional increases
of Importance, although much smaller,
are for the enforcement of the liquor
laws and the maintenance of prison
erS. The remaining increases are small
and largely offset by various de-
creases.
IF the changes recommended in my
first message in regard to the collec-
ton and division of taxes as between
the Territory and the counties should
be made, with its natural consequence
that the school funds would be pro-
vided by the counties, corresponding
changes would be required in the APP
preparation bill This would be the
case also, IT, as similarly recommend
ed. the receipts and expenses of the
circuit courts should be transferred to
the counties. The proposed changes in
tax and school matters should result
in net increase in county revenues of
about a quarter of a million dollars in
a biennial period This would go far
towards meeting the necessary increase
in expenditures for the public schools.
Notwithstanding the naturally in
creasing needs of both the Territorial
and the county governments, there
ought to be, unless something unfor-
seen should occur, sufficient funds to
meet all purposes without increasing
the taxes. Although the rate of the
tax is low, taxes are in reality
high, because not only are there in
come and perS onal taxes and other
sources of revenue, but property is as
sessed at high valuations. 1t Is far
better to increase the revenues by in
creasing, through the development of
the Territory, the amount of property
subject to taxation, than to raise the
rate of taxation; and, on the other
hand, great care should be taken in
order that the available money may
not be expended unwisely or waste
fully If the recommendation of the
first message are carried out the coun-
