An analysis of the above state
ment is interesting and shows that
the disbursements for highway
purposes figure thirty-nine and
onetenth per cent of the total.
That highways and education cost
ffty-five and three-tenths per
cent of the total. That highways,
education, institutions, administra-
ton of justice, agriculture and err
adication of bovine tuberculosis
and military reach a percentage of
nearly eighty-three per cent of the
total. Add what has been disbur-
sed for interest and payment on
bonded Indebtedness and construc-
ton and epairs and the disburse-
ment reaches lightweight per cent
of the total. In other words the
first eight items of the disburse-
ments, as above listed, represent
lightweight per cent of the total
of all disbursements for the fiscal
year.

the end of the year, and are ter
minated. This means that the leg
islature appropriated $162,510.82
which was not and will not be
used.
The expenditures for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1922 exceed
ed those of the preceding fiscal
year by $729.622.83.
The total expenditure $5,776,-
S5226 is a little over two per-
cent of the appraised valuation of
the real and personal property in
the State, as shown by the tax re-
turns of 1921-$263, $50, 443.16. OF
course this I'D valorum does not
include the thousands of dollars
that the listers did not find. 1t
does not represent the fair cash
value of the property really APP

neither do you find in the figures

perty that escapes taxation law

as: Naval oil reserve leases (sever-

panies, oil, operation of General
Electric Co., and decisions of the
Supreme Court (seven and one
half pages.)
These flights of oratory all took
place between April l and June 80,
at time when, for the most part,
the tariff was before the Senate as
the unfinished business. Some
thirty eight other Senators con-
tributed their several parts to the
ensemble of speech making during
that period, twenty of them being
of the Democratic persuasion. And
at that sometimes the folks back
home wonder why the tariff bill
is dragging such snail-like pace
across the Legislative map.
