VALUATION OF STATE is TOO
Low; CITES DIFFERENCE BE-
TWEEN STATE AND FED
ERAL VALUATION.
In Address at State Meeting Also Do
clares That Legislature Trims
Appropriations Too Closely.

IF the present legislature passes
all OF the appropriation bills that
have already been introduced in both
houses, the tax levy for the year
would amount to something like $16,'
100000" stated Auditor General Full.
Ter, In a talk before the State Assoc
citation OF Supervisors, at the city
hall.
This amount, mind you, does not
include any appropriations that may
come up in the future. and is only an
estimate. but you supervisors can
readily see for yourselves that there
are a number of irregular valuations
and you can aid materially in correct
ing them.
Two years ago the tax levy was
$500 600 and last year $4,720,000,
making a total for those two years
Of s10,65S, 900.
THE state levy for 1911, estimated
will be $6,6S7,123.29, and the def
cheney $5,O75,0OO, making a total state
tax levy. estimated, for the biennial
period of s11,762, 1929"
State Valuation Too Low.
Mr.. Fuller, in an interview later,
referred to the bill introduced by
Senator Leldlein, making appropria-
ton for $1.750,000 for state highway
purposes. In addition to this amount
the state highway department has
asked for 100000
Mr.. Fuller told the supervisors
there is general feeling that the
valuation of the state is far too low,
being placed at $1,734, 100000, while
the federal government places it at
s3,500,000 900. Information given out
by the former secretary of state tax
commission. Geo. Lord, of Detroit, is
that when the state board of equaliz-
alton meets in August the amount
will be boosted to at least $1,000
100000.
Auditor Fuller told the supervisors
Of the attitude of the railroads at
the present time and the creating OF
their own tax commission to deter
mine whether the valuation of rail-
road companies in the state is higher
than other general properties.
Mr. Fuller said: There is no doubt
but what railroads have found a
large number Of irregular valuations
about the state. They contend under
valuation increases their tax rate"

Albany, Oct. 10.-In spite of the fact
that last year the chief game protec.

resulting from shooting accidents on
the part of hunters in the Adirondacks
and In the face of an equally long list
OF injuries sustained from the same
source, Governor Dix is soon going
hunting and, what is more, he Is going
to wear his famous old red sweater,
a fiagrant target to the eager hunter
When the governor expressed his in
tention OF enjoying a monHh's vaca.
ton at McKeever; his Adirondack es-
tate, and declared that he might do
some hunting and in any event he
would rough 1t, he was advised by one
Of his friends, who heard his declara.
tion not to wear brown suit OF any
conspicuous garment which might be
mistaken for a deer.
Il always wear a red sweater" said
the governor, about the color OF that
carpet" he indicated with his foot as
he spoke the soft maroon covering
stretched over the floor of the execu-
tive chamber.
The little group of the governors
well-wishers, mildly admonished the
executive. They pointed out that
red sweater made good target for
bad marksman and that many a man
had come to an untimely end at the
hands OF an overzealous hunter as a
result OF wearing so conspicuous bit
Of wearing apparel
Governor Dix then explained that 1t
was very seldom any one hunted in
the vicinity Of Mckeever. He said
that there were two watchmen in his
employ to whom was entrusted the
sole duty Of prohibiting the presence
OF any ambitious huntsmen.

Asked about reports of her con.
templating marriage with n count or
baron, Mary said she never would
marry. Men are so uninteresting and
so much alike. As to marrying for
money, that was ridiculous as she
made all the money she wanted and
spent lot of it. too, although she was
born in Scotland.
Mary said she was going to the
Ritz-Carlton and 1t was suggested 10
her that she might smoke there If she
wanted to, as there was no rule
against it. She said she had no de.
sire to smoke and believed that most
women who INDUCED in smoking, did
so because it was among certain
classes fad. 1t seemed unfeminine to
her and did not add to the beauty of
woman.
