STATE TAX LEVY
SAME AS LAST YEAR
The T otal Valuation is $2,748,.
298, 905 Total State
Tax $3,297,958.23.

The state tax levy for 1912 is
and 2-Io mills.
The total valuation for all pro-
perty in Kansas for 1919 is $2,74S,'
29s, 9o2.
The total state tax is So. 29h950.-
20.
The total valuation is a decrease
of over 20 million dollars from the
total assessed valuation year ago,
but this is accounted for by the
fact that last year was not good
crop year and last winter was an
extremely h&rl one.
The levy OF one and twc-tenths
mills upon the total assessed valua-
ton, will raise total of $3,297,-
o38.23 in state taxes. That is
STOP, o4I.3t less than the state tax
commission was authorized to raise
by the last legislature. The levy is
the same as for 1911.
The above figures are shown in
compilations made public Tuesday
by the state tax commission. Since
the first of March the commission
has been working towards Tuesdays
results.
The fact that the total valuation
is over twenty eight million dollars
less than it was year ago is laid
to the fact that there was falling
| off in the amount of personal
property. Because of shortage of
feed last fall thousands of head OF
stock were sold and shipped out OF
the state. What little feed there
was in the fall was gone by the first
Of March. The bins were emptied
of corn and wheat when the assessor
went around the first of March.
However, there has been big i'm
provement In Kansas since the frs,
of last March and if the assessment
were to De made now it is doubtful
if there would be any appreciable
decrease. The big wheat crop and
the prospects for big corn crop
will put the valuation up where il
was IN 1871, The experts say.
