Pensions ............ 3K mills
One mill school tax .,A...s, l mill
State prison fund .... q mill
State board of health fund 4 mill
Chapter 8437, acts of 1921, provides
for a levy of six mills for g sneral rev.
enue in 1921 and 1922, but gives the
governor authority to reduce this
amount if satisfied that a smaller mil.
lage will suffice. Comptroller Amos
recommended that the levy for gen
eral revenue be reduced from six
mills to five and one-fourth mills, and
that the pension tax authorized By
the revised general statutes, three
and one-half mills, be reduced to three
and one-cighth mills, making the total
eleven mills, the same as in 1920. The
governor, realizing that at this time
the tax rate should be placed at the
lowest possible amount, and believ-
ing revenue fund could be further re-
duced, has exercised the power vested
in him by law as above stated, making
the total tax levy for 1921 ten and
three-quarters mills.
Reduction Promised
In the campaign for the governor
ship, Mr.. Hardee promised, if possible,
4 reduction of the state tax rate, and
t is a source of great qualification to
him that he has been enabled to iul-
fill this pledge in the very first year of
his administration; especially so, as
1T one time it was estimated by a
prominent member of the legislature
that the demands before the body, if
granted, would increase the state tax
rate from eleven mills in 1920 to sew
enteen mills in 1921.
The governors first great effort in
the lines of economy in the matter of
appropriations appeared in his oppo-
sition to the budget of the state board
of control which called for appropri-
ations for the ensuing two years of
approximately $3,600,000 for the
states institutions Of higher learning
and for the boards work as the state
plant board. AS a result of the op-
position of the governor and of the
state board of education, of which he
is eX.oficio president, Shis amount was
reduced by almost $1,S00000 and a
standard of economy fixed which had
highly beneficial effect upon all ap
preparation measures. And yet there
was sufficient appropriation for the
institutions of higher learning that
new buildings were authorized and
the college faculty was raised to a
salary equal with the general aver
age for like educational institutions
in the south.
