So5O,U0O and an increase over tn
amount appropriated by the 10th Legis
lature for the years 1901 and 1902 O
over 100000. The amount OF cash 4,
the treasury available for the payrnen
of current obligations is less than s267,
900 and nearly all will be required t
meet Necessary expenditures in excess o
current revenues within the next tf1re
months.
"Of the above amount about $500 i
due to the present Legislature on pa,
roll. 1T is evident that unless appro
priations now under consideration ar,
materially reduced the State treasure
will be compelled to make Temporal,
loan and since the constitution does no
permit the creation. of State debt il
excess of 100000 except for war pur
poses it seems to me most unWise tt
make any appropriations not absolutely
which will result in the creation of q
floating debt. We should conduct the
business of the State as we would oul
own affairs. The people demand and
expect from us the same careful pru.
dent management which characterizes
the administration of every successful
private business and that the promise
of economy in public expenditures will
be fulfilled.
Those who have been entrusted with
the management of State matters will
be held strictly responsible for any ex-
cessive or unwise appropriations. We
can offer no excuse which will be con-
sidered a sufficient reason for failure
to do our whole duty in the fulfillment
of the pledges which we have made but
the blame will rest upon US If we are
faithless to our trust. For the reasons
here given l submit this matter for
further consideration.
