these increased appropriations
were all approved by the critics of
the legislature, because at the time
they severely criticised that body,
or more particularly the senate, for
defeating bond issues involving
many thousands of dollars for en-
largements at these institutions.
For the capitol building and
grounds and for the penal and
charitable institutions, the legisla-
ture appropriated SIS, 900 more for
the biennial period than was APP
Appropriated in 1911. Similarly it
appropriated for our educational
institutions $177 DAB 20 more than
in 1911. Half of this increased
amount must, of course, be made
available for the current year, and
the board of equalization was thus
forced to raise this year for our

MAKES REPLY
TO HIS CRITICS
Governor Haines Issues Public Stale
ment in Defense of the Present
State Levy
WHY THE TAXES ARE HIGHER
Leg stature Made Larger Appropriations
for Things Demanded by the People

In an Open Statement to the
People of Idaho on the State Tax
Levy, issued recently. Governor
Haines submits facts and figures
that will be of interest to every
taxpayer in the state. In this
signed statement he says:
Why Ststyment is Made
The announcement by the
board of equalization of the state
levy and the amount which will
have to be raised this year by
direct taxation from the various
counties, has been made the occa-
sion by the opposition newspapers
for declaration that the present
administration has failed to redeem
its promises in the matter of giving
the people an economical, business
administration of state affairs
1T is pointed out that the board
of equalization is raising through
direct taxation S24, 23S 10 more
this wear than was similarly raised
in 1912, and AN attempt is being
made to use this fact as proof of
extravaganza and breach of faith
on the part of The state officers.
People Should Have the Facts
1t is my belief that the people
should be fully informed on this
matter so that they may know the
exact status of the question and be
able to decide for themselves
whether or not the state govern
ment has been economical and
businesslike in its operations. 1t
is true that direct taxes have been
increased by the amount named
but 1t is also true that that those
who have attempted to make CAPT
tal ont of this fact have not been
fair enough to give the reasons for
this increase of the facts from
which the reasons might be de-
duced.
1t is a well known fact that The
last legislature considerably eX-
tended the operations of the state
government and that the board of
equalization was forced to provide
for meeting many expenses which
heretofore have not been charge
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1913-10-10
Big Additional Burden

Taking these items together, it
will be seen that we were forced to
provide S157, 500 to meet expenses
which were new and unusual, but
which were either demanded by
the people or incurred in such
manner as to relieve the present
state administration of response
bility therefor. If we had not
been compelled to raise this large
amount of new revenue, instead of
calling for S24 23S73 more than
last year we should have been able
to call for $135, POL .2S less.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1913-10-10
What Legislators Did

For instance, the legislature,
at the peoples wish it must be pre-
sumed, created a public utilities
and tax commission for whose ex
penses during the current year we
were forced to provide $4,000 not
previously required. 1t ais o
created state board of education,
for which we have had to provide
$4,000 for current expenses. 1t
appropriated $500 to pay for a
silver service for the battleship
Idaho, an obligation coming from
the previous administration, and
500, 900 for the expenses of a
state exhibit at the Panama. Pacific
exposition, all of which under the
terms of the law must be available
within the next year
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1913-10-10
Only Part of the Story

But even this doe, not tell all
the story. The legislature, owing
to the growth of our institutions,
and the increased cost of mainten-
ance, found it necessary to con-
siderably increase the appropris-
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1913-10-10
was raised last year.
Make Both Ends Meet

If now we add the last named
amount to the $l57 500 which, as
shown above, it was necessary to
raise to meet new and unusual ex-
penses, it will be seen that the
board of equalization was forced to
provide in 1913 for the payment of
1888, SPA 10 more than was required
in 1912.
When it is remembered that in
order to pay S2SS, 524.1O addition
al, an increase of only S24, 23S 10
is asked for in direct taxes, the
difference being saved elsewhere or
met from the increased revenues
earned by the various departments,
it is believed that the administra-
ton which has brought such a
result amount is fairly entitled to
the credit of having been both
economical and businesslike.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1913-10-10

In other words, this admins
tration is making it possible for
the people to have a public utilities
and tax commission costing for
this year S4O,O 900, a state board of
education costing $4,000, to pay
an old debt of $500 for a silver
service for the battleship Idaho, to
place an exhibit at San Francisco
costing 500, 900, to expend on
their charitable. penal and educa-
tional institutions the increased
sum of 1871, O24.1O, and to pay
the whole additional bill aggregat-
ing $2SS, 524.10 by raising through
direct taxes the small additional
sum of $24, 23S.13.
| doubt if our people will ever
ask or expect any state admins
tration to make a better record
than this.
