$1U89 per capita, as against $6.85 in 1917. This sum includes $16,310,928 for education, but does not include $27)535,509 for permanent iniprffvcments, o which $23,747,799 was for Stat. highway construction, making the total expenditures for the year

$73,566,902.

The total revenues of the State for the tame period were $68,615,205, the difference between the receipts and expenditures were met by debt obligations. 'When it is remembered that county and municipal expenditures have increased at a heavy an idea can be gotten of the tax burden the people are carrying as the result of the improvements Vhicn the State has undertaken. Against this tax burden, however, there are offsets which should be taken into consideration and which, if they could be computed L; dollars and cents, would

•perhaps counterbalance the cost.

One of the first of that it the aaving in time, lo this busy age "time is money" to a greater ex tent than ever before. The s; tog in this item alone would r into the millions. Lessened hicular wear mid tear and heav loadings of farm products going to market is another large item,

and the money brought into the

State by the ever increasing army

of viutors annually runs into the

millions, the profits from which are applicable to the liquidation

of the tax burden, and there are

other items which could b» added to this side of tlie ledger account,

so that while the improvements cost and the increasing t»x burdens sfioutd be carefully scanned

and kept within bounds, we be-

lieve the benefits will be found •

to be in excess of the burden.
