A million for market roads, four million tor care of Insane, penitentiary, slnta administration costs, etc., and three million voted by the people for speclnl purposes, final-' ly leaving but two million dollars In which there could be much culling without a general revi sion of stale matters. This lm pessed everyone with what fow realise, namely that the cost ' ot state government Is actually not Increasing, hut tho many things voted by the peoples add to . thn taxation but den, bringing up the total to tremendously heavy fig ures.
