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 . .
