HOW STATE
CAN PAY
AS IT GOES

Just because there Is shortage OF
funds in the general state treasury AZ
present does not imply that the genera
assembly. or the members Of II that di-
rect the state finances have been sx-
tiavagant and frittered away the income
IN a frivolous manner. On the contrary
when the number Of important improve
uents that have been cared for from the
regular income IN the past few years ia
considered IL Is nothing very strange
There was S225 900 for good roads, $4,000
for the Tiverton bridge, si2b,000 for the
state arm ory. and Ses 900 for the sara ,
torum for consumptives, exclusive of tne
$4,000 spent for the site
That makes about ss2o.o00 that has
been expended out OF the regular income
in a year in Improvements whicn
other states would bond or provide for
outside the regular yearly income con-
sidering those facts, II is not AT all strange
that there should be some stringency at
that time even II the annual cost Of run
ming the state has not materially In
creased in proportion 10 its growth
Although there Is bound 10 be some
opposition from the very start. the bill
recently introduced IN the house by Mr..
Bliss from Cranston presents the most
likely solution Of the problem ~ carrying
on the present policy of Pay as we go,
which has been Rhode Islands aim and
prize for many years.
The bill n II estimated, will give the
state $3.50 600 in available funds az once
over the present state tax. as the com
mission which II provides for will take
the town and city valuations 10 work on
instead Of the present state valuation,
which is manifestly unfair at present
This $3.50 900 with the 100000 in spai .
ish war claims. which the state expects
and approximately $4,000. which viii be
made available in other ways. will make
about $3.50 600 This. according 10 Col
Bliss estimates. will provide FOR the sana-
tar4l!rn- -S65 nnn for good roads with $50. 900
available next year; ss1. 900 for the King
ston college $1,000 for inland fisheries
$4,000 for the instruction OF the blind
and about $50 600 for other purposes not
provided for I'm the other appropriations.
Col Bliss is being asked so many ques-
tions about the bill and about appropria
tions that are held up that he can fairly
spout figures when the occasion demands.
but this ability represents months of study
and application 20 the complex problem
OF providing suitable revenue in such
a manner that Rhode Island will be able
10 pay ns Il goes. and ask no favors OF
any outsiders
