According to statistics prepared by
| State Accountant r. u. Hamilton, there
will be a good decrease in the general
purpose tax this year, Two years ago,
the general purpose tax necessary to
care for expenses not provided for
| specifically in appropriation measures
! and including a million dollars deficit,
totalled actually $3,223.Oo0, This year
the estimate OF the general purpose
tax is but $1,7SS,570, decrease of
| 1,434,43 from the figures Of two
years ago.
The million dollar deficit must be de-
Quoted from this, but even with this
left out, the decrease still is nearly
| half million. Friends of former Gov
| ernor Osborn claim this is vindica-
ton of his policies of economy.
Under the estimate of State Account
| ant Hamilton, the legislative session
will cost in the neighborhood of ST.
100000. This makes the estimate for
1913 somewhat heavier than in 1914.
! The actual expense for 1913 will be
about $1,792, 100 and for 1914, $780,
100. These totals are reduced by the
credit of certain fixed incomes such
as the automobile tax, federal fund for
care OF old soldiers, ETC., which aggre-
gate some $4,000 annually. The act
ual amount necessary for the general
1855, while for 1914 it will be S74s,7S5.
Chairman Hinkley, of the ways and
means committee. Of the house, had al
lowed some 100000 too much for the
general purpose fund, SO despite the
fact that some 100000 OF additional
requests for appropriations came into
the committee during the past week,
the total of appropriations asked for
up to the present time is a tritie more
than $17,0e0.000. More appropriation
bills are being drawn and the grand
total is apt to reach $19,000,000 before
the close of the session.
