though the state might have to sacri-
flee some other place.
And now I want to explain to some
of the people who are worrying about
taxes: The taxes are the same this
year that they were last year-3.47
mills according to the Attorney Cen
eral; and think l can assure every
one that, SO far. as the state is con-
cerned, these taxes will not be raised
this year. According to the state
constitution. the legislature can not
levy to exceed four mills-this was
the reason that it; was necessary for
the people to, vote, an. extra mill for
institutions of higher learning. Ev-
eryone feels the pressure OF high
taxes at a. time when business. is- at
a low ebb. and when most of us have
lost good many thousands Of doll
ars. The result Is that no one will
introduce any measures to raise the
levy of the state, no matter how much
money is appropriated. In fact be-
lieve that my bill to repeal a one-half
mill levy for good roads will pass,
which will in fact, reduce the taxes
one.half mill.
Now, 1t may be confusing to some
people how the. legislature can keep
on appropriating money without at
the same time levying taxes to- pay
with. In this connection, let me ex-
plain that it is seldom that all appro-
priations Of the state are paid as hap
pened two years ago. Appropriations
for state purposes are placed in five
classes and are paid first, second,
third, fourth and fifth class as far as
the money goes. For instance. ap-
preparations OF the first class are for
the executive, judicial and legislative
expenses and for interests on public
debts. Appropriations Of the second
class are for institutions where the
inmates are Kept voluntarily. For
instance, penitentiary. reform schools.
etc. Appropriations Of the third class
are for the educational and charit-
able institutions. and so on. In this
way you may readily see that no
matter whether the legislature ap-
propriates s4.OOO,O00 or $6,0o0,000. a
year, only the amount that the levy
brings can be used and the rest will
go unpaid.
The State Equalization board, which
consists of five executive officers of
the state have the power to raise this
levy If it is found necessary, not to
exceed per cent of the total Of the
expense of conducting the govern
ment last year.
For this reason think ] can assure
everyone that SO far as the legisla-
ture is concerned, the taxes will be
no more next year than they were
this year, no matter how much money
is appropriated. In fact, believe that
they will be less.
