The only thing that makes II appear

Taxpayers generally, taxing Off
Gals especially. should give heed to
a recent circular issued by the State
Taxpayers League says the State
Capitol record. This circular di-
reefs attention to the fact that in
1906 the state generally was enjoy
ing unusual prosperity and that since
then business conditions have quieted
materially, in fact, though the
article does not say SO, are below
normal to-day. In a sensible we'll
seasoned statement the League urges
taxing officials generally to follow
the lead of the business men and
people of the state generally, that
is exercise the utmost economy, cut
out extravaganza, and accommodate
the work to be done to the diminish
ed revenue.
Some OF the striking features of
the circular follow, and should be
earnestly considered:
''At the height of the state s
prosperity in the year 1906, the to-
tai amount levied for taxation for
all purposes in the state of Wash
ington was $14, 049, 675.31 This
was the amount levied to detray all
expenses for the year 1907.
Four years later, in 1910, the to-
tai amount levied to defray the ex-
penses of the state county, munich
pality and school districts was $27,-
O83, 1884.
Instead of retrenchment, there
has undoubtedly been increased ex-
penditure. 1t is now time to consi-
der whether the tax levy for the
year 1911 is to still show this in
creasing growth, or whether it is
to be trimmed down to fit the actual
business, situation which exists in
the state. In other words, whether
we shall continue to raise more
money to defray the expenditures
of state, county and municipality,
or whether we shall do as the bust
ness men and the individual do and
retrench.
This continual growth may be
better shown by the following fig
ures:
