sources other than taxation, thus mak-
ing the proportionate amount of state
expense by direct taxation 76.3 per
cent and the amount from other
sources 23.7 per CenL
It is figured, however, that the rev-
enue from other sources should be
materially Increased by the collection
of corporation taxes now in litigation
and by the expected increase of the
gross revenue department of the of-
fice, and that the amount to be raised
by direct taxation thus should not ex-
ceed 60 per cent of the total state ex-
pense.
The following sources of revenue
other than direct taxation are given:
Secretary of state $100,000
Insurance commissioners 200,000
Oil and mine inspector 25,000
Hoard of agriculture 65,000
