A CRASH MAY COME
The State Treasury Running
Away Behind.
HAS BEEN FOR TWO YEARS
NOW APPROPRIATIONS HAVE
BEEN INCREASED.
suT.IHE INCOME is THE SAME
Ever Since the Republicans and Popu-
.elists Took Charge There Has
- Been a Yearly Deficit of
Over $4,000.


Been Yearly Deficit of
over $4,000.
The Legislature of 1895 was called an
extrayagant body, but the General AS
sembly this year beat it spending money
Inv nearly 100000. Nearly all the prin-
cinaI appropriations were materially in
creased. some of them necessarily so,
some of them unnecessarily.
On the other hand the taxes, though
increased. WILL on the whole, under the
new Revenue Act, amount to but very
little more than under the old law. II
this proves to be true, there will be
crash some day.
Treasurer Worth says that disburse-
ments for the last two years exceed
receipts 1923, 706.47 per year. In other
words, the receipts for the past two
years were only Sligo, 2S5.59, while the
expenses were 81 1856, 69S.62
OF course this cannot be kept up with
out seriously embarrassing the State
Treasury and creating a condition Oh al
fairs that will still more seriously EN-
barrass the Legislature that meets mere
two years hence.
These facts were laid before the recent
General Assembly by Treasurer worth
in carefully prepared circular. ne
gave them all the information at his com
mand. and urged them either to PROVIDE
ADEQUATE revenue fro the increased
needs of the State or cut down expenses
They did neither.
On the contrary they provided for
very little increase in receipts ana spent
money with a lavish hand, as VIII be
seen from the following list of appropria-
tons made by them:
