Too High"

Washington, Jan. 27 (by
The Associated Press. -
Provision has been made in
the annual army appropria-
ton bill for an army of only
100000 at the suggestion of
President-elect H a + d in G =,
Representative Anthony, of
Kansas, chairman of the
house appropriations sub
committee, said tonight III
announcing that the bill was
ready to be reported.
The proposed army Of 100000,
which compares with the present
army of about 213,OOO and with
the army of 175,OOO men fixed in
resolution adopted by congress,
was suggested by Mr. Harding as
proper maximum, Chairman An
thony said at the conference he
held with the president-eleC at
Marion. MIR. Harding, according
to Mr.. Anthony. expressed the be-
lief that an army of 100000. to-
gether with the reserves, national
guard and other forces. should pro-
vide sufficient military establish
ment during peace.
The army Appropriation bill,
which probably will be submitted
to the house tomorrow, carries APP
preparations of $32S.OO0. 900, which
represents a reduction of So, 900

Possible With ifs"
If the revenue from general
property taxes remained about the
same and an income tax, estimated
to yield $250,000 annually, were
added while useless officers were
trimmed from the payroll the
requests might be met.
If buildings are TO be granted at all
it would appear that bond issue
offers the only chance of immed-
lately realization. r..
The budget report estimates re-
ceipts for the next three years. In
doing so, it concludes that the net
loss of property from the tax rolls
will be s25,000.000 this year. 1t
also assumes that the tax rate will
be reduced about one-sixth of a
min.
Revenue Not Enough.
Taking the lower tax rate and
the lower property valuation, the
budget report estimates the reve-
nues of the state for the next two
years at $1,275.000 annually This
involves 90 per cent collection of
taxes This would amount to ST.
$50 600 for the two years as against
$4,749, 435.7S requested. With
buildings omitted the total request
