for 1912 is $2,554,514.62, as compared
with s1,93S,26S.27 in 1911, according
% reports that have been filed with
Comptroller General Jones by the
heads of the various departments OF
the government, including the pubic
institutions. The estimate was pre-
pared by the comptroller general as
required by law, and will be sent to
the ways and means committee OF
the house. The income from the
state tax will approximate about $l,'
$4,000. and this means that the esti-
mates will be trimmed down by near
ly 100000 by the ways and means
committee before the bill is sent to
