The legislature appropriated a to tal of $42,0S0.S52.27 lor the bien nium, including estimated fees, cash funds, gasoline tax and funds from direct taxation, according to a com pilation made Saturday by Mrs. TUit- Ot that amount 517.13,783.01 is from the general fund and derived from taxation, while a total of $2 4, 267.059.26 is from sources other than direct taxation. The increase from taxation over the total of f 15.174.7S5.1 two years ago. is $2,639,469.46. By the usual process of deduction of reappropriated funds, which each recurring administration claims the light in making comparisons there should be deducted $970,000 of reap propriated funds, which reduced the gross appropriations for the bien nium, to $41,100,852.27. Two years ago the gross appropriations, with this deduction, totaled $30,877, GS2.3S which is $10. 233. 159. S9 less than the gross appropriations made by the recent legislature. An increase of $S, 400. 000 in the estimated gasoline tax revenue for the coming biennium may be said to account for that much of the gross appropriations, leaving the net in crease $1,833, 159. S9. It is estimated that the increased gasoline tax from 2 cents to 4 cents a gallon will bring in $S, 400. 000 more than the revenue received dur ing the past biennium from this source. Two years ago $3,500,000 of federal aid for roads was included in the appropriations of the legislature. This year there is included $5,000, 000. an increase of $1,500,000 which, added to the increased revenue from gasoline tax makes an increase of $9,900,000 in the state and federal road building program for the next two years. University Get3 More. The university is credited with an increase of $637,000 for maintenance, of which $315,000 is for a heating and power plant, not including the items vetoed by Governor Weaver. Much of the increased appropria tions from the general fund or funds "derived from taxation is due to new items, such as $26,111 in the claims bill to refund to depositors who placed deposits in state banks while the banks were being operated by the guaranty fund commission. II. R. 249, reorganization bill applying to the banking departments, called for considerable increase in appropria tions. The state tax commissioner's office and the code finance department two years ago had a combined appropria tion of $39,000. The two places are now combined under one head and with increased duties under the in tangible tax law the total appropria tion is now $62,000. which is $23. 000 more than the tax commissioner and finance departments were given two years ago. The labor and welfare depart ments, now combined under one head, now have a total of $245,700, or $98, 000 more than the two departments had two years ago. Most of this in crease is accounted for in an in crease in fees which the departments will receive under the barber law, the cosmetologists law and the board of examiners which examines and licenses members of several profes sions. EAT MORE DAIRY FOODS The average person now drinks or ,cats m his food thirteen gallons more milk, three pounds more butter, one 'pound more cheese, two pounds more .condensed and evaporated milk and I half gallon more ice cream, yearly, than in 1919, says the state and fed ' oral division of agricultural statis , tics. I Comparatively high wages permit ting the regular use of foods former ly classed as luxuries, together .with a growing appreciation ot me oieiie value of dairy products and improved sanitary conditions in the dairy in dustry are responsible for the i changes, it is believed. Still further 'raising the milk and cream consump (tiem is the greater appreciation of fresh fruits and the availability thru out the year of fresh strawberries, peaches and other fruits. German economic studies attribute American health and prosperity to temperate eating of wholesome foods and have resulted in educational campaigns thruout Germany encour aging greater consumption of dairy products.

Federal agents today were tiacking down a Mexican rebel general who is said to have ; been in New York for a month and is believed to have part in the loot ing of banks and public institutions , in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, ' of 700 thousand dollars. !
