NEXT YEARS. TAXES
MAY Be LOWER
Only Sixty Per Cent of The Needed
Revenue Likely Will Be Levied
Other income Grows.

Oklahoma City, Jan. Sit probably
will be necessary to raise but 60 per
cent of the expenses of the state gov
ernment for the coming year by direct
taxation, according to an estimate
made in the annual report of the state
auditor, transmitted Saturday to the
governor.
The estimate of necessary expendi-
ture for the coming year, together
with the 20 per cent which the law
provides shall be added for delinquent
taxes, totals S3,045, AIS. OF this amount
S723,440 will be raised by sources other
than taxation, thus making the pro-
portionate amount of state expense by
direct taxation 1853 per cent and the
amount from other sources 23.7 per
cent.
1t is figured, however, that the rev.
enue from other sources should be ma
terially increased by the collection of
corporation taxes now in litigation and
by the expected increase of the gross
revenue department of the office, and
that the amount to be raised by direct
taxation thus should not exceed 60 per
cent of the total state expense.
The following sources of revenue,
other than direct taxation are given:

The protective tariff is the breeder
of trusts Under the lower tariffs we
had practically no trusts They began
to organize under the Dingley tariff
and have multiplied by the hundreds.
Today there are nearly 500 trusts with
a capital of $1OOOO,OOO,OOO The pro-
tected trusts have increased prices
from so per cent to $50 per cent. In
the light of such figures who can Won
der that the cost of living has in
