Instead OF saving 1t. Two incidents,
,us in the former administration and
'us in this, will Illustrate this thought.
The tax commission, created in the
5slennium Of 1894, caused the last
ADMINISTRATION to be charged with $780,
tN Of expense. Not only did this COM
mission fail to use all of it's appropria-
bon but It discovered and put on the
sx rolls taxable property of the valu-
tlon Of fully $7,O00,000. From this
u Nnert0 untaXeu properly the Sudte has
heady received in taxes more than
1850 Thus by an appropriation of
10000 the state has in one biennium
raped net profit of more. than $685.
Governor Haines' approval of this
appropriation was not his mere consent

ndorsement of a wise investment.

U other refused to spend money.
