Galloway has totaled the requests and estimates of all state depart ments and other organizations hav- the 'commission , to show the needs of the next biennlum, and finds a total of 19,515,437. This total Is on the assumption that an amend- tnonttn lh rkmn'i rnmnniMtlnii act will be passed whereby the state will be required to give aid to that commission amounting only to actu al expenses. Otherwise the total es timate would be approximately $800 000 more. ? The total amount as arrived at by Mr. Galloway, Is, In round numbers, $2,000,000 In excess of what is avail able for the next biennlum under the C per cent tax limitation amendment and is the figure upon which prob ably -will be based a bill which the commission proposes to initiate for the November election to meet the needs of the state in excess of what- Is allowed by the state constitution. 8uch a bill, however, under the sta tute, can make - provision for only one year. Under the2 present compensation act ine state pays one-seven tn or me amount . contributed by employers and employes. For the next two years this is estimated at 11,200,000.
