u large number OF instances, those
self-same counties have raised their
own tar levies to a figure whore they
will get approximately the same reve-
nue. as last year. State taxes collect
cd, however, will be materially re-
duced because of the fact that the
levy remains the same.
The plan to establish a tax COM
mission, or state board Of equaliza-
ton, is now being widely discussed,
and will doubtless be recommended
both In the final message OF Governor
Noel and the inaugural address of
Governor-elect Brewer. The former
has given a very thorough research
and study to this subject during the
past four years, having attended the
annual meeting Of the Uniform Tax
Conference, and has collected a large
amount of valuable data showing the
most approved methods OF taxation
and assessment in the various states.
With the steady growth and devel-
opment of the state, enlargement
of educational and eleemosynary in
situations, increase of prison registra-
ton. etc, a larger volume of biennial
appropriations is of course necessary.
AT the 1910 session the appropriation
budget amounted to over seven mil

shown strict economy in the prepare

Candy was almost destitute Of
clothes when taken into custody by
the officers, and about the only state
ment obtained from him was TO the
effect that he was travelling too fast.
The officers seem however to be of a
different opinion, as they have been
watching the swamp for him ever
since his escape, and as it took him
a week to travel so miles, they are of
the opinion that he was travelling
rather slow.
