Tax Commissioner Foots Up
Figures for Meeting Next
I Friday
Stats Tax Commissioner Charles
T. 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.
Counting that' part of this amount
that would not be needed for actual
expenses would send the total of re
quirements abovel 10,00 0,0 00
