THREE MILL LEVY
MAY BE POSSIBLE
NEW REVENUE MEASURE WHICH
WOULD ENABLE REDUCTION
Million Dollar Reduction in Appro-
priation Bill Also Probable,
Thinks Hughes
The State, 10.

The State, 10.
That the state general property tax
levy will be reduced to either three
or four mills this year and practically
eliminated in the years to follow If
the various tax measures now pending
before the two houses of the general
assembly become part Of the law OF
the state was the prediction OF E. 1.
Hughes of Marion, chairman OF the
ways and means committee, IN the
course of his debate on the luxuries'
tax. the last of the series OF revenue
measures to be given consideration in
the house. The appropriation bill for
1922, Mr.. Hughes also intimated.
would probably carry reductions OF
approximately s1,Ooo,O00 under the
amount appropriated last year, The
state levy last year totaled II IL
| mills, the special Citadel 1-2 mill levy
excluded.
The ways and means committee IS
still engaged in the task OF drawing
up the appropriation bill and no ex-
act figures are available but, accord
ing to the figures presented by Mr.
Hughes, the ways and means commit
tee is preparing to raise only $5,465,-
mn this wear as compared with $6,-
5S4,925 last year, a reduction OF ap-
proximately s1,o7o,o0o, under last
years appropriation. This would also
| indicate a s1,a25,ooo cut in the ap-
preparations recommended in the 1922
budget, which would have provided
for a total appropriation OF $6,69l'-
259.71. A
The passage Of these new revenue
measures, according to Mr.. Hughes,
would provide for all but about ST.
100000 of the states revenue, which
would then be raised by the three OF
four mill levy on visible property.
In preparing his estimate Mr.. Hughes
did not take into consideration the
inheritance tax, which as amended by
the senate would not furnish revenue
I for this year but will be counted up
on to aid in the total elimination OF
the state levy on visible, tangible
property in 1923 and the succeeding
years. The motion picture license
bill, which is in the hands of the SEN
ate, and the brokers' license bill were
also not considered. Further reduc-
tons of the levy in 1923 may also be
made possible through the taxing OF.
many ferns of property that now es-
cape taxation, such as bonds, mort
cages, stocks, etc. This can only
come through the amendment Of the
state constitution as proposed in the
Marion and Sapp resolutions now
pending in the two houses.
Taxes for 1921, according to Mr..
Hughes, were borne as follows: gen.
| eral property tax, So,UoU,oOU; corpof-
alton licenses and fees, s475,Co0; de-
partment fees and sales, 1926, 900;
and state institution fees, s175,000:
The estimated returns from all
sources for 1922 if the tax program
is passed entire were placed by Mr..
Hughes as follows: income tax, ST.
100000; general property tax, ST.
100000; luxurics tax, 100000; cor
poration licenses and fees, $3.50, 600;
gasoline and oils tax, S450,000; de-
partment fees and sales, 1925, 900:
state institution fees, s175,000, and
the hydro-electr:c tax S15o,000.

Stock Market ReUielU

NEW YORK, May 13.-Trading in the
steel shares again mOnopolized most OF
the speculative interest on the stock ex-
change today.
Lackawanna Steel made q further new
high and advantage was taken Of the
success Of the Bethlehem-Lac kawanna
merger to advance all Of the independent
steels and related companies, particular
strength being shown by Vanadium, Rep
logic and Sloss Scheffield.
Stimulated by the continued rise In this
group, persistent reported were spread
about the merging Of the half dozen
different companies.
Besides the talk Of Bethlehem negotfa-
lions for Wickwire, which seemed to have
some real basis. one rumor was to the
effect that Virginia Iron, Coal & Coke
was to be included In the seven company
merger In place Of Lackawanna.
Sloss Sheffield's name was linked with
that Of several other companies, although
the real basis Of the move in this stock
seems to be thel liquidation Of its in
yentories and the buoyant State Of the
Southern Iron market.
Behind all the merger talk, however
are the facts that United States Steel
last Wednesday showed again that steel
companies. due to the strike, are now
able to choose the most profitable Of the
business offered and that business COM
panies like Vanadium has shown a large
increase In the last two weeks.
Due to the weakness Of the market in
the frst three days of the week, those
facts have not been discounted

ture was furnished by the spectacular
advance Of more than twelve points by
Lackawanna, while Bethlehem 3D." Cruel
BILE, Republic, Gulf States. Sloss Sheffield,
Superior and even United States Steel dis
played varying degrees Of strength. The
industrials as a whole, were stimulated
by the performance Of the steels, and
sharp advances took place in several
groups and miscellaneous issues.
Among the strongest issues were the
coppers which are responding to the i'm
proved Industrial end statistical position

agencies are Withdrawing offerings, and
unsold stocks Of copper in this country
are said to have been reduced pretty close
to 100000 pounds. No official figures

The strong undertone developed by the
steels and coppers stimulated the special
ties to renewed activity and sharp ad-
vances took place In American Ice, Amer

Castiron Pipe and numerous others. The
equimepnts were firm and Maxwell Motors
