Tax commission shows 1913 state taxes reach record high
Compilations from the state tax commission reveal total levied taxes for 1913 across state county municipal and school districts at 38 273 351 up 7 068 581 or 23 percent from 1912. The rise mainly stems from state taxes due to last legislature appropriations, with Stevens county facing a 63 4 percent jump and a 3 81 mill increase in total levy. The note also covers a 713 percent tax rise since 1891 and a 206 percent property valuation rise, plus references to a state examining board shortfall and broader economic discussion.
