APPROPRIATIONS HIT FUND EMlmatM fad tn Years Prior to IrffUlatlve) Session Ixw Hocau.ee Board Cannot Tell Extent of Drain of State Money. SALEM. Or. Nov. I. Special.) Al though tha Btata Board of Equalisation will not meet until December, approxi mate estimates of tha state levy for the ensuing year are being made and It la certain that the levy will be mora than 1 mills, although tha levy for this year, made last .December, was But l.a ml II"- . ... . There ara aeveral reasona for this in crease. The levy for 110 made In 10 was 1.1 ml 11a Tha levy for even years, made tn tha odd years. Is as a rule much larger than those for odd years, made la the even yeara. Thla la due to the fact that the levy made In the even yeara la made Just prior to the biennial sessions of the Legislature and the State Board of Equalisation la without knowledge as to what will be tha ex tent of tha legislative appropriation As a result the State Board Is com pelled to guess at the levy for tha en suing odd year and make up for what deficit or overplus there might be In the year following the odd year. State Fnada Law. Thua In H10 tha levy made for 111 waa l. mills. This proved to ba low. as tha State Legislature of 111 passed appropriation bllla which far eclipsed in magnitude the appropriations of other yeara So taxes hava been prov ing to be Insufficient and tha general fund has been at a low ebb. especially In the Knll months when warrants were atamped "not paid for want of funds." This difficulty will hava to be made up when tha levy for 11S Is made next month and as a result the levy will go above 1 mills. It would go much higher than thla save for the fact that the aa sessed valuation will be greatly In creased. Tha added assessed valuation had considerable to do with holding down the levy to l. mills for this year. Although the appropriations for the biennial period were In excess this period of over a million dollars over the preceding biennial period. It Is doubt ful It the levy for the last period will go over 11 mills, or even that much, which was tha levy for tha last year of tha prior biennial period. Should It prove less It will be entirely due to In creased valuatlona. Since the Inauguration of the work of the State Board of Tax Commission ers tha assessed valuations for puhllo service corporations has been greatly Increased and they probably will be even higher this year.
