route to the Panama-Pacfic exposi-
tion at San Francisco, and on their

These figures, which may be excelled,
are based on information furnished by
the American Automobile Association,
headquarters in Washington, d. G.
Most OF the tourists from the East
who will make the transcontinental
trip, will pass through st. Louis and
FROM there either take the north, cen
trail or south ,cross-state roads, trip
which will occupy from four to six
days, depending upon the speed the
automobiles travel. coming and going,
and from either Kansas City or St.

state Tag Rate Lowered.

SAdAC ak rate LOWeFGus
State Auditor John p. Gordon GER
tilted to the county clerks the state
tax rate. The rate is reduced from 10
cents TO IS cents on the 500 of as
sessed valuation.
The forty-eighth general assembly,
on the recommendation of the auditor
and treasurer, fixed the state interest
rate at cent instead of cents on the
5000, as the latter rate, which has pre-
vailed for many years, was bringing
more money into the treasury than
was needed for the interest on the
school and seminary certificates and
the excess could be used for no other
purpose.
Auditor Gordon estimates that the
capitol building bond issue of $780,
600 will be retired in nine years from
the date of issue. They were voted to
run period of 13 years, and a levy of
z cents was voted at the same time
for the purpose of meeting the inter-
est payments and providing a sinking
fund to pay the principal.
1t is now apparent that the 2-cent
tax will not only provide for the in
terest, but will take up the last bond
within the next five years.
