enue but increasing war costs,
Governor Walter w. Bacon on

ing for expenditures of S20,S79 1893
in the next biennium, in addition
to a post war improvement pro-
gram of S4.519, ,40G.4O.
Governor Bacon proposes to meet
the problems of the biennium's cur
rent expenditures with an estimat-
ed revenue of S20.9OS,037, or $685.

through the following sources.
From present sources, S16.l0S.-
037; proposed gross income tax.
S4,200,000. and proposed cigarette
tax. 100000.
The post war improvement pro-
gram would be financed through
bond issues of $2,250,O00 for high
way improvement. expansion and
rights of way, and $1,000,0O0 for in
stitutional building.
In addition. provision has al
ready been made for expenditures
of sos, 5,0O5.S1 for school buildings,
not including S654,40O.59 in local
school district funds.
Governor Bacon planned his pro-
gram to provide against unforeseen
emergencies, to include necessary
increase for cost of material and
supplies under present price levels,
and salary increases to all state
employees receiving $3,600 or less
to meet increased living costs. At
the same time, he sought what he
believes the least burdensome
means of financing his program.
In formulating his program, Gov
ernor Bacon was also faced with
the following revenue losses during
the coming biennium, totaling about
100000 annually: Gasoline taxes
