Lemberg is only the beginning Of the

enormous force, reliably estimated at
eight army corps, taken in conjunc-
ton with the rout of the army which
was to serve as screen to their re-

overwhelming. The Russian garrison
is reported to be preparing positions
at Grudek, twenty miles further west,
on the railway to Przemysl, another

ECONOMY RESULTS
IN TAX REDUCTION
DECREASE OF $61O,O7S IN STATE
LEVY EFFECTED By
LISTERS POLICY

The state tax levy for 1914 (taxes
payable in 1850 has been fixed by
the state board of equalization at S.O7
mills. which will raise $8,327,447.
This is reduction of $61O,07S
from the state tax levy of 1913, which
was S.S1 mills, raising $S,937,525.
1t is the first reduction in state taxes
since 1910. AS the result of it,
Thurston county will have to pay but
$117,266 state taxes as against the
1913 levy of 124,027.
The reduction was attained by low
ering the general fund levy, which
last year reached the statutory limit
of mills, to 2.45 mills, and by low
ering the public highway levy, last
year 1875 mills, to one mill. The
state school levy was increased slight
ly, being raised from 1.9 mills to 1875
mills. This was necessary to provide
for an increased school population of
more than $500, shown by the last
school census, the barefoot boy"
school law providing that the state
shall raise $40 for each child of
school age.
The total assessed valuation of all
taxable property in the state this
year is s1,O31,9O1,6 97. This is an
increase of $17,426,746 over the
figures of last year. OF the total
$742,138,817 is real property and
$123.855,686 personal property, as
assessed by county assessors, and
165,907,194 the equalized valuation
of operating property of steam and
electric railroads and telegraph COM
panies, valued by the state tax COM
mission. OF the ST ,426,746 increase
over 1913 valuations, $6,473.430 is
accounted for by increased assess
ment of real property, $1,505,137 in
creased personal property and So
increase on public service
properties.
/ c TcuuCIiOu III Iuc ScucIdA luuu
levy this year has only been made
possible by the fact that state depart
ment will at the end of the present
March 81, 1915, be able to
return unused to the state treasury,
a sum estimated at between 100000
and $650,000, saved from the appro-
priations of the 1913 legislature.
OH this total departments under
Governor Ernest Lister will return
between 100000 and 100000, or
approximately 10 per cent of the total
general fund appropriations for these
departments. while the ONCE Of sec
'etary Of state expects to return about
100000 Of the appropriation made
for initiative and referendum expen-
ses, while other departments will also
