Per Ca.uita

It will be noticed in the above table
that the total tax. except city specials,
was somewhat less than two and one
quarter millions in 1890 and somewhat
more than eleven and one-quarter in
1910. During this time the popula-
ton increased from 190,9S3 to 577,056
in 1910. 1t will also be noticed that
it was in 1901 before the four million
mark was passed, although the in
crease has been approximately one
million in the preceding eleven years.
From 1901 the increase in the total
tax in the state has been very rapid
going from four to eleven and one-
quarter millions. The rate, of course,
follows the tax-starting at &c mills
on the dollar-it has reached today
approximately 40 mills. while the per
capita tax has increased from $12 to
$40. There is a sag in the per capita
tax from 1891 to 1901. during the
time the state was passing through q
financial panic and crop failures.
From these statistics there is no ques-
ton but hat in the last ten years the
tax burden in the state has increased
very rapidly.
The following table gives the total
local tax for all purposes except city
specials:

How North Dakota Taxation
Has Advanced Since Statehood
Tables Show Rise in Total Amounts of Both Local And
State Assessnents-Growth in the Figures Have
Been Constant During the Entire Time

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 10.-There
has arisen considerable criticism Of
the legislature through a misappre-
hension of the cause Of the marked
increase in the total amount of taxes
levied for all purposes during the last
half dozen years. The state auditors
report for 1910-12 contains a per
capita table showing the total taxes
levied for all purposes except city.
specials, water. W and paving. since
which u%nintentially gave
rise to this impression.
The state tax commission has pre-
pared a series Of tables showing the
total taxes for all purposes in the
state. except city specials. the average
rate in mills and the tax per capita:

From the above 1t is readily discov-
cred that the total local tax In twenty
n years increased from two to ten
millions: the three million dollar
mark being passed in 1901: the rapid
increase occurring during the next ten
years. The rate has increased, ex-
cept in one or two instances, since
statehood. beginning at 21.7 mills and
increasing to 35.2 mills in 1911; the
most marked increase being since
1901. The per capita tai was $40 in
1890 and increased to almost ST in
1911. the marked increase beginning
in 1901. This table shows an almost
exact parallel in the rate of increase
between the total tax Of the state and
the local tax.
The following table separates the
state tax for all purposes from both
the local and the total tax. The state
tax. of course. is included in the total
tax.
