State Chiefs
Will TrY.i to
Hold unds
BY ARTHUR SCHoENI

Reduction of taxes. most popu-
lar political slogan during cam
paigns. is the least heard phrase
in Olympia today. despite the
SIG. 900. 900 surplus in the states
general fund and $4,000 900 SUR
plus highway funds.
Although legislators will go to
the capital for the 1913 session.
starting Monday. and listen TO
pleas from cities. counties and
schools for some of that surplus,
state officials will fight to pre-
serve it for the lean months some
predict are ahead.
Both the gasoline tax and sales
tax, main sources of income for
the general and motor vehicle
funds. are expected to decline in
the coming biennium. State Treas
nrer Otto Case estimated today
the gas tax would fall off $1,000
900 in 1913. The state tax COM
mission predicts the sales tax also
will drop off from its present rec
ord high peak
While tax income will be de-
creasing in 1913, the states spend
ing will 90 on HEAVIER than ever.
Gov. Arthur b. Langlie came into
office two years ago with $685.
900, 900 budget to spend-an all
time record for the state
The budget he submits to the
1913 session will be at least s25.-
900. 900 higher. Thus, with tax
money going down and spending
on the increase. state officials op-
position to giving away much more
To counties. cities and schools can
be understood.
Social security is going to cost
the taxpayers about $4,000. 900
more for the 1e43-45 biennium.
