III. Arms OUTLAY
Nearly Exceeds
| AUOther Nations

By the Associated Press.
President RooSevelt's war budget
today called for expenditures which
some officials said approached the
military outlay of all other warning
powers put together.
Because of differences in book
keeping, unwillingness to publish
figures. costs of labor and materials
and other important factors. no &C
curate comparisons could be made.
But the best estimates available
read something like this:
United States Cnext year,, S56,-
000,000,000.
Germany and occupied countries,
$50, 900 000,0O0
United Kingdom, SIS 900 900, 900.
Other British Empire, So, 900 900 900.
Russia, 5000 100000.
Japan, $1,000 900 900.
Italy, 1000 ,O00, 900.
These estimates, however, excluded
many large items in the war budgets
of some of the other countries. For
instance, in the case Of England,
they excluded huge sums to help
and take care of civilians who have
lost their homes in bombing at
tacks.

The 100 men already authorized
will be charged against the l943 es-
Inmates. thus bringing to 200 the

A $4,000 increase in the police

REAL ESTATE RELIEVED
OF SPECIAL TAX

Owners of farms and homes
throughout the State will be inter
ested in the announcement made to-
day by Governor Herbert O'Conor
that, by official proclamation, ne is
declaring it unnecessary to collect or
levy for the next year any real es-
tate taxes to meet the interest on
outstanding certificates OF he emer-
gency bond issue of 1885.
This proclamation will waive the
urovision for the levy of real es-
tate taxes at four and one-quarter
cents on each One Hundred dollars OF
assessable property.
At the time the Bond Issue of 1885
was enacted by the Legislature, it was
provided that receipts from inherit
ance taxes would be used to meet in
terest and principal payments. The
levy of four and one-quarter cents
was provided as secondary basis IN
the event that the inheritance taxes
were insufficient to meet the require
ments. Interest for the calendar year
1913 on the 1885 Bond Issue will be
s166, 357.5O, with maturities of $4O2,-
600 on April Is, 1913, and $4,000
on October Is, 1913, indicating total
service requirement of $784,257.50.
The Governor stated that more
than $1,5OO,OOO will be in the Re-
serve Fund during the next calen-
dar year and that, therefore, the
provision for the levy on real es-
tate in the amount specified will
be waived.
