Income from Liquor Sales
Showing Decline

While the income from liquor
store sales doomed for time this
year, the trend at tbs moment is
decidedly down due to the rationing
of sales by the State Liquor Control
Board. and from the indications now
evident, it seems a safe prediction
that this condition will continue for
some time at least if not for the
duration of the emergency.
Unlike gasoline and the sales tax
this revenue cannot be accurately
estimated. Supply and other things
may intervene to influence liquor
sales, and at best it is considered
that this source of income is none
too denendaple for the coming two
year period.
About the State Income and Eek.
pense =. Recaping these results
1t is seen that the decrease estimated
at one million dollars a month il
perhaps justified 49, None of which
could have been foreseen a year age

State Faces Decrease in Income
From Three or Four Main Sources
OLYMPIA Dec. "A serious de-
crease in income, which may before
the end of 1914 mean total loss of
as much as million dollars month
as compared with the present year,
is in prospect for the state, according
to some who are in position to
forecast these trends with a reason
able degree of accuracy All of these
forecasts are of course based upon
the assumption that the war will
not terminate, suddenly within that
time.

Sales Tax Expected to Show
Decrease in 1913

Up to this time the income from
the three per cent sales tax has
shown an increase generally speak
in due to the increase in popula-
ton and business activity. and this
trend would no doubt continue were
it not for the fact that the supply
of consumer goods is decreasing and
this decline in supply is in prospect
of increasing sharply as the new
year approaches While a decrease
is considered almost sure to occur,
this decline in supply is in prospect
for those whose business it is to an
ticipate and plan for the needs of
the state at about this time each
two years.

Gasoline Tax Already in Tail Spin

Gasoline Tax Already in Tail Spin
In both August and September
this year the decrease in gasoline
tax collections totaled some quarter
of a million dollars per month, and
as figures show that the decrease
in gasoline sales in the states where
rationing has already been in effect
has decreased the sales an averages
of rs per cent, and our gasoline tax
collections foI the first 10 months
this year averaged 1,64O,O00.0O per
month it is easily seen that an adj
ditional decrease of 100000 90 per
month may be anticipated from this
quarter. l.ii,
