concealed whisky distillery they have

fifty gallons of white mule whisky, a

STATE GENERAL
FUND GREATER
THAN YEAR AGO
Fairly Satisfactory Condition. In
Tax Collection Is Reflected
In Statement
PAY MORE THAN 1921
Taxpayers Put More Money Into
Treasury in Four Months
Than Year Ago

| The state general fund is larger
than a year ago, according to a re-
port made today by State Treasurer
John Steen on the condition OF tile
finances of the state as of April 30.
The report shows $7S1, ,17O.7O in the
state general fund on April 80, 1922,
as compared to April 30, 1921 of $751;
| 2O623.
In spite of reports that tax pay
ments would fall far short in North
Dakota this year the report of the
state treasurer shows that taxes are
being paid in about the same ratio as
last year, and that the percentage
about equal with that of previous
years for the first tax paying period.
Since the law was enacted providing
for tax payments in two installments
many taxpayers who otherwise would
pay all of their taxes when due wait
until hte second insta'llment to pay
them, in spite Of penalties, according
to state officials. t
The rate of collection of taxes for
the first four months Of 1921 was 4O.6
percent while for a corresponding
period in 1922 it is 40 percent. The
total amount due on this fist install
ment is somewhat indefinite, but it is
estimated at from 55 to 70 percent.
Since the collections for the year 1920
have by this time mounted to SO per
cent Of the taxes due, no alarm is felt
by state officials that tax delinquen-
cles in the present year will cause
great embarrassment to the treasury.
The 1921 tax levy for state purposes
was increased from $2,S47, ,1S6.O0 TO
50, ,639, ,27S.0O. The total amount of tax
es paid thus far in 1921 is only $780,
900 less than the entire amount paid
on 1920 taxes. The payment of taxes
in spite of the increased levy is an
other condition which makes for op-
timism in state fiscal offices.
The total amount of taxes collect
ed for the month of April, 1922, was
$2,733,6S6,44 as compared to $1,S42,-
S34.S9 for April, 1921.

With the reports of the death Of

there have been rumors that pressure
was being brought to bear upon Judge

In a statement issued April II from

"Inasmuch as the question seems to
