EDUCATION COSTS MOST.

Out of the total levy Of 1883 mills
made by the state equalization com
mittee for all state purposes, S.O9S
mills was levied for education, 5.74
mills being for support of the common
schools and the remainder for the
university, state college and the nor
NAL schools. This left $3.50 mills for
the general military, permanent high
way, soldiers bonus, capital and rec
lamation funds. The equalization COM
mittee reduced the general fund levy
from 2.25 to 1.75 mills, and from avail
able estimates the committee Is posi-
tive that this levy need not be increas-
ed next year; 1t might even be cut
again. The legislature eliminated the
primary highway levy of one mill as

1922 federal statistics show that $4,-
eo7.O00.OO worth Of jewelry was sold.
Yet assessors only listed $685. 7S4.OO
worth of jewelry with the state equal
ization committee. And that was the
accumulation apparently of the life
time of Washington citizens Obvious
ly very little of the jewelry sold dur
ing the past year was found by the
assessors for they only reported $751;
$500 worth more than in 1922.
Ever since statehood, jeweIry has
been purchased at the stores, but it
mysteriously disappears before taxing
time, an analysis of the assessors re-
ports, made for the equalization COM
mittee, shows.
During the six year period from
1916 to 1922, this same report shows,
SlO4, 427.OO worth of jewelry was drop
ped from the tax rolls. There also was
reported decrease of $476,962.OO in
household furniture; S142, 532 In Ii
brary values and $500, 1852 90 in pianos
etc. The 1923 figures rediscover
some of these lost values, however.
