He explains how 1 the conditions have come about. There | is an increase in every department,
 owing to the growth of the state itself, and additional duties are imposed upon I the state officials and commissions by
 the legislature, making the additional ! room absolutely necessary. Then there is the large amount of | room required by commissions having
 charge of the interests of the state l during the. war, This, MT Webster
 has pointed out, has filled the building | to overfiowihg with a big increase in l the expense of caring for the building. i'll tHe SeHefdl account os ScstplS' I the net income corporation tax leads l! with $s,255.SeS.70. The state tax brought in $1,749,025.ss,. steam railroad
