LAST YEAR.

The boast Is made that the tax levy
for the first time In the history Of the
state has been kept down to 1 mills.
How Is It accomplished? The facts
are that the levy for the educational
institutions Of the state heretofore
have been levied at 4 IL mills. In or.
der to cut the total levy down to 4
mills. the levy for educational institu.
lions has been cut down to mill,
therefore reducing the revenue fo1
maintenance Of educational institutions
$4,000. Therefore the boosted reduc.
ton has been made at the expense OF
the education Of our children. Is this
economy? would say that to neglect
the mental and moral uplift Of our ris.
Ing generation Is economy, then DAMN
such economy, says Mr.. Hellstrom.
The business administration" boasts
Of an increase In railroad assessments
Of 100000, which does not begin to
account for the new lines and extern
sions that were not in the tax levy of
1913. Consequently there has been no
increase in railroad assessment.
But, on the other hand, real estate
has been increased .$4,315, SOC 90

The people may consider themselves
lucky to get of at the ratio Of Is to I

Of there being a reduction Of taxes and
