AGNEW Adama Amn The total revenue to be raised by taxa tion for state purposes for the year 1906 will be, approximately $625,000. The total revenue necessary for state pur poses will be $847,000 but of ths amount $222,000 will be derived from indirect sources, leaving the $625,000 to be apportioned among the several counties of the state according to the fixed ratio provided by law. These figures are gleaned from a letter written by Secretary of State Dunbar in answer to an inquiry from J. N. Teal, chairman of the assessment and taxation committee of the Taxpayers' League, of Portland. In his letter Mr. Dunbar says: The marked decrease in the amount necessary to be raised for next year, compared with preceding years, is due to the fact that we do not include in the item of expenses for the coming year ap propriations amounting to $371,094.40 included in chapter 229, laws of 1 905, which there is no provision of law for in curring other than the act itself. Owing to the referendum having been demanded. it is not an existing law. If the act had taken effect the amount to be raised would have been increased by that sum. In computing the amount to be raised. we only include such items of expense as .i . , , .... .... .. .m u uujti ui unuar wxisung laws, less receipts not applied by law to soma special purpose. We estimate such receipts for the current year will be over $220,000. which is nearly one-fourth the gross expense, the principal items consisting of $ 1 1 2,000 from corporation fees and licenses. $23,000 from mheri tance tax and $54,000 from tax on in s urance premiums. The items referred to by Secretary Dunbar as not having been included are chiefly the additional appropriations for the State University and Agricultural College, and the appropriations for norm al schools, and for improvements state institutions, which were held up by the referendum. - It will be seen that if the referendum petitions had not been filed the total reve nue necessary for 1 906 would have been $1,218,094.40. of which sum $222,000 would have been raised from indirect taxes, and $996,094.40 by direct taxes The revenue raised by direct taxes 1908 will be only one-half of the amount raised by that means in 1904, and will be 57' per cant less than in 1905. Each county, therefore, will have only half as large a state tax to pay as it had in 1 904 l ne omciai estimate of revenue neces sary will not be made until January, but Mr. Dunbar made this preliminary esti mate for the accomodation of the Tax payers' League. . v . .
