The dominating figures Of the 1921

Fiction. Here less than $4,000, 600 Is
demanded, a cut of nearly SO, 900 900
when compared with the state levy for
the year previous In sharp contrast
are the levies for school districts,
cities and villages and for county
purposes. These levies are all local
in nature and as such are subject to
local control and regulation.
TO explain, the present state levies
are wholly statutory and without i'll
reference by any state official or au-
thority aside from the legislature and
include such statutory items as Sol
diers' relief fund state road and
bridge, university building fund and
the state school tax Of one and TWEEN
ty-three hundredths mills, which is OF
venerable age.
The only state infection over which
there is official control is the time
honored one for state revenue pull
poses and this the present state audit
or, invoking an official prerogative
omitted in his certification Of the
state tax rate to the various county
auditors last September. TO a large
extent the commission Of this particu-
lar tax, which was the first and Only
action of it's kind ever taken in tho
history of the department, is largely
responsible for the reduction noted.
As to local infections, that of tho
levy for school districts is consider
ably in advance of the previous year.
The one other increase j. in the case
of the township levy.
