We believe that a substantial saving can be made in this item. We do not be- lit Je that extrava|gence in the State government is confined to this one item alone and that .substantial *ave ings can be effected all along the line. In the past the politicians have told us that the burden of taxation was the result of county extravagancy and to prove their point cited the measley little five or 5V4 mills State levy in comparison with the 4() or HO mills cdunty levy. They neglected, however, to point out the fact that a Irrge part of the revenue derived by the State cornea from taxes on ga.xo- line, soft drink*, etc. Is it unreasonable to suppose or to ask, if a little more economy is prac tised by the State government vfftether or not some part of that money that is now needed so badly to defray the expenses of State gov ernment would be available to help reduce the heavy levies on real es tate necessary to support the county govdrnmdnt? In other words, if the State should practice strict econ omy, would not .a part of ^ oe9 on lhe w « r P ath - tax money be available for the u j p M the Countitf v/lth n consequent re duction in the local li vy on roil an*? pericnal ponr-t*: In the words •>?-tnc.
