On motion of Mr.. Pattangall. Bill,
An Act for the assessment of State
tax for 1911. was taken from the table.
a Mr.. PATTANGALL: Mr.. Speaker,
as the tax is drawn it contains the
emergency clause following the pre-.
cedent established two years ago. and,
the language of the act occurring after
the title and before the enacting clause
is the same language that occurred IN
the tax act of two years ago me
members of the House and Senate
have already accepted Amendment A
to this act, the am6sdment which
changed the word fl i'm the first line
of Section 3 to the Bird six. Now in
order to give this act passage In It's
present form it would require practl-
cally the cooperation of all the MEM
bers in the House. The income
of this State from various sources
of revenue which the State mas
with tax rate of five mills would yield
for the Year 1911 in round numbers $4'-
100000. l3The Legislature has appropriate
ed axsv8 of money which added to the
amount Of unpaid warrants that must be
paid durifg the year totals approximate

up the aid warrants pay the deficiency
approjrial IN Bill which, p have already
passed an9 pay the cdr7 et. expenses of
the year. we will expend actically $780,
900 more than our incomE. For the year
1912 the income of the State will be slight
ly larger than for the year 1911. The
appropriation for 1912 will be less than
for 1911 by about 100000 The unpaid
warrants once paid are out OF the way
so that they only come into the expenses
of one year. The deficiency appropriation
Bill, about $685. if paid this year will

the amount of the unpaid warrants to the
detinciency Bill and adding the 100000
Of extra expense of this year over 1912
makes a difference in the expenditure Of
the two years of about 100000 which is
equal to about two mills on the direct tax
of the State the valuation being approx
