Kansas City, Ma HERE IT COME 3; — The following from the Indianapolis News, an independent republican paper gives Home hard and cold facts about what you may expect in taxes as a result of the work of the legislature. The Nows says: “The state's total disburseuents for the next two years will bo $56,000,00(1 or $28,000,000 a year. The budget bill, ns it now stands, appropriates $17,780,412 for the two years, or $8.8!i4.760 a year. Os course, this docs' not cover, or begin to, all the items of expenditures, nor was it meant to. During tho next two years on ail tutounte the taxpayers will have to meet disbursements ,-imvnnting. noi to $17,000,000, but $56,000 000. “There will boa deficit for the prTsent fiscal year estimated at $847,000. In addition to which there are temporary loans amounting to $1,825,000. Receipts for the year ending with September, 1921, fell short of expenditures by $1,328,202, and for the year ending last September the shortage was $765,073—a total of $2,080,000 for the two years. These figures arc exclusive of the $1,825,000 of temporary loans and the $1,000,000 that it is expected to spend this year on the. new reformatory. The state Is thus running steadily behind. “Ah tlie budget appropriations don’t cover by many millions the cost of the state government, neither is the[ tax levy of 27 cents for the state's purposes, ail that the people say. There I are motor license fees, tho special; levy for the highway commission, inheritance taxes, etc. If the expenditures should amount to $28,000,000 and were met out of the general tax. the levy would have to be 54 cents, instead of 27. “The amount will be paid, and paid xmt of taxes, whether the general levy is raised or not. It is proposed to transfer the proceeds of several of the special funds to the general fund, and to levy a gasoline tax of 2 i cents to make up to the highway; commission what it will lose by the' abolition of part of the tax on which; it. now relies and the transfer of the, other part to the general fund. That ■ fund is certainly in sad need of rein- j forcemeat. The people may ns well face the certainty of higher taxes, no matter how they are raised, whether by general or special levies. There Is no escape, if budgets are to be bal , unced. temporary loans paid and I deficits for the future to be avoided. I What wo have is no mere problem of bookkeeping, to be solved by the shifting of funds, but one of Insufficient revenue, if expenditures arc to continue on the present scale. The situation is one that should stir the people, and the legislautre to serious thinking." President Frink of the Yeomen j lodge had no concrete information of interest to give those who talked with him last evening. He stated that the directors tool that the locaion will be made in cither Illinois, Indiana. Missouri or lowa and that it is hoped to settle tho matter very soon now. When the final show down comes Decatur'will be given an opportunity to present her claims and we will do it to life best of the ability of tlm ' who represent us. This city has undoubtedly led all others in I'oin! of proving that our people are, united and Imvo the right vision of the big jd"al back of the children’s' home idea and that's surely an UHHet. Wo still believe we will land the home. The Fort Wjivji'' Notes in a Mover manner corrected the statement previously published ;ibolit tlm fake beer party supposed to have been held by Decatur young people and placed in. the same position in the paper an; item giving the facts. The Bluffton Banner also reprinted an editorial ’
