GOV. dunno REDUCES TAXES.

Governor Dunno and the tax com.
mission appointed by him have cut
the state tax rate nearly In two. This
is good news for the taxpayers. The
rate this year Is As cents on the 500
assessed valuation of property. II Is
drop from last years 20 cents on
the 800 rate. Charles S. Deneen as
governor and his associates set the
figure in 1912 at 3s cents on the 800
assessed valuation. Gov. Dunno has
always insisted the Deneen state tax
commission fixed the rate too low and
he has steadfastly blamed Mr.. Deneen
for the high rate that was necessary
last year OF 70 cents 10 maintain the
state government.
The drop OF 20 cents in the rate for
this year is a consolation TO the Demo
Gratis. The tax issue is working out
as some of the political sages figured
it would and should. These men told
the governor last year 1t would be
better for him 10 have a high rate the
drst year OF his administration and
scaling down process thereafter, so
there might be some political capital
stored up for around the time of the
election OF 1916.
The state tax commission that per-
formed the pruning operation this
year was composed OF Democrats, to-
wit: Gov. Dunno, Auditor James j.
Brady and Treasurer William Ryan,
Jr.
The Democrats point 10 a deficit OF
si,500.0O0 in the state treasury when
Gov. Dunno came into office in Febru-
airy, 1913. The increase In fees and
revenues in nearly all departments OF
the state since then finds in the state
treasury now a working balance Of
$4,000, 900.
OF the rate this year, 20 lilo cents
is for general purposes, IL $40 cents
for the school fund and 10 cents for
the University of Illinois. OF last
years rate AZ cents was for general
purposes, Is cents for the school fund
and 10 cents for the University Of ILL
nols.
Gov. Dunno hopes to see lower
rate fixed next December.
