A POTENT SUGGESTION.

Governor Denney is now giving

the State administration and receiving
their estimates of the appropriations
for support which the Legislature will
be asked TO include in the budget for
the mex two years. or course. each
department will seek 70 secure as large
an appropriation as possible.
The State Tax Department. which
presented its estimate this week. was
not AZ all modest i'm making request
for an increase. Two years ago the
legislature made an appropriation for
his department Of $4,000. For the
next two years the department asks
for appropriations amounting TO sIIo.-
COO.
The Tax Department is, naturally.
q most important part OF the State ad-
ministration. and should be literally
supported. But why IL should ask for
such an enormous increase IN appro-
rriations for meeting its operating ex-
penses IL will be difficult for our people

porvrays one element OF the most inn
portant problem the next Legislature
will have 20 considlr-that OF econ
omy in expenditure and a consequent
reduction in taxation. When one de-
partment makes request for such a
sweeping increase. in the face of an
imperative demand for a reduction OF
administration expenses. Il indicates a

form that calls for careful handling
Possibly the agents Of the State Tax

expenditures.
