SUMMARY OF
WORK DONEB BY
LEGISLATURE
Newspaper Corresp 0 n d e n t
Sums Up Accomplishments
Of Session Just Closed; We
toes Change Some Bills
{By Jimmie K. Browne)

Washington's twenty-third ses-
sion OF the legislature is now his
tory. ,r11. III ~
II will be a session, however,
,ono remembered in the economic
and political ANIMALS of the state
IN that while elected upon plat
form to reduce the cost of govern
ment and Gift the burden of taxa
tion from the shoulders of the peo-
ple.D it left Olympia after having
passed in the way of appropr1a-
tions the greatest sums ever hand
led by previous sessions. -
The actual general appropria-
tons will total approximately
more than $100,000,00 taking
everything into consideration.
Out of this. sum, however, can
he charged off appropriations such
as So, 100000 medical aid; $4,000
600. rebate of gas tax and S2,225,-
90 industrial insurance awards.
But it should be remembered
that every cent of this money is
actually paid by taxpayers into
trust funds. In other words tax
payers dig into their jeans for this
money, even if they or someone
else gets it back. The state acts as
a temporary trustee.
The highway appropriations
amount to s26,733, 470, virtually
every cent that can be expected to
be collected during the coming two
years. The Omnibus budget carries
more than $4,000, 900 while the
supplemental budget tits the lid
for another S26, 132, 1896, including
the gas rebates, medical aid and
industrial insurance which latter
three items total S12,825, 600 in
making up the grand aggregate.
The legislature through a n
early action placed the state on
record as sponsoring the common
school fund to the extent of $22,-
100000 and this amount is carried
IN the budgets; $4,000, 900 in one
and $4,000 in the other. The pas
sage of the so-called Showalter
bill brought this about, pledging
the state to this tremendous ex-
penditure before the legislature
could work out program to get
the revenues.
The result was the wild hurry
and scurry during the closing days
to get some kind of an excise Or
privilege tax across the boards. 1t
also is responsible for the chain
store tax bill and many other mea-
sures digging into the taxpayers
pockets.
