: State Tax Comlsisoner Charles V.
Galloway, at the request of Governor
Withycombe, has written a letter to
C. C. Chapman explaining the neces
sity of the Increased tax levy bill
which has been placed on the ballot
for the election next Tuesday by the
tax commission. The letter is In
answer to certain criticisms that have
been made against this action ot the
commission. , The letter follows:
"Governor Withycombe has asked
that I send you some data relative to
the certificate of necessity for in
crease in the state tax levy for 1919.
which the tax commission has filed
with the secretary ot state Z& accord
ance with the provisions of chapter
ISO. laws of 191?.
"I am enclosing a copy of the cer
tificate itself. The statements there
in do not misrepresent or exagger
ate any fact or condition.
"In the first place the commission
called for reports and budget esti
mates to be filed by all the state In
stitutions, departments ana oiiices.
From these reports we found the to
tal of estimated requirements for the-
bi-ennlum 1919-1920 to be approxi
mately $9,316000. Subtracting all
unexpended balances and receipts
trom sources other than direct tax
ation (estimated total $1,232,000)
leaves ($8,284,000. The maximum
amount which can be raised by dir

within the 6 per cent annual increase
limit.- la $6.2 18.063. Thus In com
parison with the estimated require
ments, the state revenues for the
next bl-ennial period would be some
$2,065,937 short.

commission went through the reports
and estimates. Item by item, elimin
