The State Treasurer says in his report
that the balance on hand at the begin
ming of the Legislature of 1897 was
SSS,353.03, and that the balance on
hand at the beginning of the session of
1899 was S1S5,27991 About one-half
of this balance is set apart for special
nary expenses. There is at least $4,000
in the Treasury now that is available.
The State Treasurer says if this Legisla-
ture levies the same taxes as are now
imposed and makes appropriations as
large as were made in 1897, the Treas
ury would come out about 100000
ahead. This, if there is no increase in
the valuation of property, and if this
Legislature is unwise enough to make
were made in 1897. 1t is to be hoped
that, in spite of the pressure that will
be brought to bear, the Legislature will
not permit the appropriations to reach
the 1897 figures. In the appropriations
of three institutions a reduction of
S15,0000 over the 1897 figure
can be made if these insti-
tutions are kept within present limits
and upon economical lines. OF course,
if there is to be spreading out there
can be no reduction, but an increase
will be demanded. Is it better to in
augurate a policy of expansion or to
keep the promises made to the people?
That is the question every legislator
ought to answer in the light of his cam
paign pledges.
1t is not for us to say how much re-
duction ought to be made in the tax
rate. That is "A matter to be fixed when
the Legislature has determined upon its
appropriations. If it appropriates as
much money as the session of 1897 it
will have to levy as much fax as has
been levied for the past four years. If
1t should cut estimates to the point that
is in keeping with the spirit of the party
pledges, then this Legislature ought to
adjourn with reduced State tax rate.
We do not believe in reducing the school
or pension rate, but if it is possible, con
sistent with the most economical adj
ministration Of government, the State
rate ought to be reduced.

The Vance picture in the House looks
down upon the solonS.
There is history about it. Two
years ago a lady came to Raleigh with
the portrait, put it on exhibition in tho
capitol and asked the Legislature TO
buy it. Some objected. some favored
Mr.. Dockery thought it best to get Nh
W. q. Randall to paint portrait of
Vance. But the lady was persistent
and won.
Here is the way she did it. When she
found out that the LEGISLATURE would
not pay her price, she gave it ont that
Mrs. V. 5. Lusk, of AsnevilIe. had
agreed to pay 5000 for the portrait If
the Legislature would appropriate the
other 5000. With many thanks to Mrs
Lusk and with hurrahs the bill apnro-
printing 5000 was ratified the $500 paid.
and the picture hung in the hall of th,,
House. Nothing was said then about it's
not being fully paid for.
Now the LADY, think her name is

tale of woe, stating that 81 800 was her
price, that Mrs. Lmsk was to pay $500
a philosophical gentleman $500 and
the State $500; that the only money she
has received is that paid by the State.
and that she thinks as the State has the
