THE SURPLUS
IN THE STATE TREASURY MAY
BECOME PROMINENT IN Ar.
KANSAS SOME DAY.
F ans Suggested to Prevent the Hoard.
ing Of Money in the States
Strong Box.

The question of surplus in the Ar
kansas state treasury has never es-
pecially attracted attention, although
it has existed as matter of course
says the Little Rock Democrat. State
Treasurer II. c. Upton says that dur
ing the last seven years the amount
in the treasury has never been less
than $500 600, and at times it has ex-
ceeded a million and a half. He says
geous disposition of money presents
a question difficult of solution, but
of the utmost importance. When ask
ed his opinion witt reference to the
plan proposed by Sheriff S. @. Sewer
of Ouachita county, that the money
be loaned out to the banks over the
state to prevent its being boarded
up in the vaults of the state treasury
at the time when it is needed for the
movement of crops. he said:
Some plan should be adopted so
i that it would not be necessary to keep
so much money on hand. | believe
the surplus should be loaned out on
government bonds Or other gilt-edged
securities at a low rate Of interest, on
call. After the half-million in school
funds is disbursed September /, and
the Confederate pensions paid. there
will be about a million dollars in the
treasury OF course the last legls-
lature. appropriated money with a
| lavish hand. and there will probably
| be little complaint of a surplus by
About 100000 Of the money now in
! the vaults is in the capitol fund, and
extensive improvements have been
provided for the state institutions.
And yet we have too much money tied
up in the vaults at one time, and
something should be done
Deputy State Treasurer j. L. Yates
did not think the loaning scheme
feasible one, and offered Sugges-
ton that the state be divided into two
districts, the cotton region counties
to begin paying as at present, or
about February l. and the northern,
or grain. fruit and mineral counties,
to begin paying about August l. This
would make it easier for all and
would distribute the money more
evenly Still better plan would be
to divide the state into four equal
parts and have them pay quarterly,
which would keep the taxes coming
into the treasury constantly. Mr..
Yatts recalls that four years ago Rep
resentative Powell of Sebastian coun-
tv figured on the proposition exten-
sively. and drafted bill which was
introduced into the state legislature.
He responded with state treasufers
and found that where the loaning sys-
tenn was in vogue the interest and
frequently the principal became in
volved in litigation. so that the result
was far from satisfactory.

Among the speakers at the Interstate
W. C. +. L. institute at Old Orchard
last week were Congressman Littlefeld
and Scion Chase. Mr.. Littlefeld spoke
specially of the former disregard of
the prohibition law in Bangor, and said
he believed the people of Penobscot
county will stand by County Attorney
Smith in his prosecution of liquor sell
lers. In conclusion he declared his
firm belief in the Maine prohibitory
law, declaring it the best law in exist
ence to minimize the liquor traffic.
Scion Chase, who is hale and hearty
despite his more than 80 years, ridiculed
the claim of the friends of resubmis-
sion that the people of Maine are tired
of the prohibitory law, and said that
the exact reverse will be found to be
true. Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, who pre-
sided at the closing session, said she
never expected to see Maine become
high license State, as the temperance
workers are too much on the alert.
