STATE OFFICERS EXPECT TO AVOIDLEVYING TAX THIS YEAH FOR GENERAL
EXPENSES OF THE COMMONWEALTHMay Collect Only the School Tax Which
Goes Back to Counties
Extraordinary Expenditures Authorized byLegislature Make Problem Difficult
New Capitol Will Not 3e Built by DirectAssessment on the People
There will be no tax levied thisyear for the general expenses of thestate unless the board of assessment,consisting of Governor Davidson, Sec-retary of State Frear and StateTreasurer Dahl, in procuring revisedand corrected figures, find that thefinancial situation of the : tate ismuch different from the estimateswhich they discussed at a meetingyesterday.
The board met in the office of Sec-retary of State Frear and went overthe situation, having in hand reportsfrom the various departments and ac-countants. While no final action wastaken, it i3 believed that it will bepossible to remit all the state tax thisyear, as has been done for the pastsuccessive six years.
Difficult Task This Year.The task is exceedingly difficult
this year ou account of the large ad-ditional and extraordinary appropnatious made by the last legislatureand ou account oi the increased costof the university. However, from ti oestimates discussed by the board itseems possible to avoid a direct taxthis year, but it may not be possibleto do so next year. The board didnot come to a final conclusion becauseit was desired to get more completeand reliable information, so that nomistake be made and the possibilityof embarrassing the state be avoided.
Next Saturday the board will holdanother meeting for the purpose oftaking final action. In the meantimeinformation will be had from the cap-itol building commission, as to howmuch of the capitol appropriation
| will be required during the comingI year; also similar information fromthe university as to tho expensivenew buildings to be erected therenext year; from the state board ofcontrol regarding the binding twinefactory at the state prison and otherinstitutional improvements authorizedby the legislature. Unless this re-vised information shows that the ex-penditures for these purposes will
; aggregate much more than the pres-i ent estimates indicate, there will be! no state tax levied this vear.

The Canadian deputy minister of
itol is 1600,000 a year for nine years.The commission, however, is not us-ing as much money as it is authorizedto use, because the work is not goingas fast as to require so much. How-ever, it is contemplated by the com-mission to clear away the old eastwing and lay the foundation for thenew next year, and also to buildthe new heating plant, which willcost uoout 1500,000. The board ofcontrol thinks that it will be impos-sible to do any work ou the twinefactory this year and that it will notbe possible to place the plant in op-eration before 1909. The situationwith respect to the new universitybuildings is not known definitely.The total receipts of the state forthe year coming will aggregate be-tween $5,500,000 and $6,000,000.
No Tax for Capitol.It is believed that it will be pos-
sioie to remit about $607,000. Thiswould cover $157,000 ou the twinefactory appropriation and $150,000on the new capitol. The board is determined that no tax shall be leviedfor the purpose of building the cap-itol and it is possible that nothingwhatever shall be levied for generalstate expenses at all.
The usual so-called mill schooltax, for which the state treasury ismerely a distributing agent or .clear-inghouse, will be levied. This taxis collected uy the state from thecounties and is distributed or apportioned back to the counties ac-cording to law.
A year ago, largely through the influence of oecretary of State Houser,half of the school tax was remitted,as well as all the general state tax.This put the state treasury in some-what narrowed circumstances and inaddition to the situation thus created,the legislature made numerous largeand extraordinary appropriations, sothat it was apparently assumed thatis would be impossible to avoid levying a state tax this year. However,these appropriations were in partoffset by large income, from railroadand other corporation taxation, frominheritance taxes and state landsales. The inheritance taxes the com-ing year are estimated at at least$200,000 and may bo twice that sum.

TOBACCO MENIN CONVENTION
DISCUSS WAYS AND MEANS OFGETTING HIGHER PRICES
FOR CROP.
GOVERNOR DAVIDSON DECLARESGOOD GOVERNMENT DE-
PENDS ON FARMERS.
SAYS THE LEGISLATURE STAYEDLONG BUT ENACTED GOOD
LAWS.
Madison, Oct. 9.Some 200 farmers who raise to-
bacco, comprising ihe members ofthe tobacco growers’ branch of theAmerican Society of Equity, met inconvention in the assembly chamberof tne capitol yesterday. The pur-pose of the organization is to enablethe growers themselves to “corner”the market and dictate the price byholding the product until the demandsends up the price. Oue detail of thescheme is to have the members prac-
! ticaiiy piac* their Crops into the| hands of the officers of a designated
i agent of the association.Governor Davidson addressed the
meeting in the atternoon, declaringhis sympathy with the purposes ofthe organization. He also defendedthe last legislature against the charge
1 of extravagance and explained theneeds of the larger appropriation*,which were made. He also declaredin favor of a national franchise lawor some system by which the federal
i.government would exercise regula-tion over corporations doing inter-
i state business.| j.*.e governor began his remarksI * . h a complimentary reference to
; the farmer as the one upon whomI rests much responsibility for thei kina of government had. He said ini substance:| “I always love to meet with a com-
j pany of farmers. I have a fellow-I feeling for them, for the first work i-- did in this country was on a farm.
! and I have confidence that I could! make a good living and be happy ifI were to return to the farm. Uponthe men of the farms depends thegovernment. Watch out, then, andsend good men to office to makethe laws. If any man prove unfaith-ful to his public trust, let the farm-ers retire him to private life. I donot know the details of your organ-ization. but so far as I know it, I amsure that I am In sympathy with itspurpose. Every class of corporationsis organized; why not the producers,the farmers? The corpo ations havetheir meetings to consider the mar-ket, to curtail production and allowprices to regain a profitable level;why not the manufacturers of cornand grain and tobacco? I would notadvise you as an organization to en-ter politics, but it is the duty of eachmen of you to take an interest in pol-itics. It is up to you to see that wehave good government. You selectmen for office and they come to Mad-ison or the county seat to performthe trust you impose.
