estimate of the Controller is correct
He counts for a three million in
crease and thas for the whole state is
! not much, The increase of license tax
which the legislative committee
thought would increase the revenue
matter really promises to fall short
OF the estimates, one reason being
that the license tax from .Iul,or deal
ers will be appreciably diminished.
Prohibition elections are pending in
several counties with the prospect of
prohibition winning. If this is the
result the license taxes from this
source will be reduced and the reduc.
tlon will probably amount to as much
as the increase calculated on from
other lines will amount to-.
Health Fund.
The board of healh fund, amounting
to nearly one hundred thousand dol
lars In the treasury, is a tempting
reserve to the eye Of the fnancier
who believes in the quick utility Of
all available assets. The board of
health has no use for this amount
or money, unless an epidemic should
strike the state. The normal expenses
or the board Of health are nominal,

ton.
Inc other moneys in the treasury
are largely school funds that cannot
be drawn upon except for the ex-
press purposes for which they were
provided, and this leaves the General
Revenue Fund, which must stand all
current expenses and pay all appro-
priations, to stand on its own footing,
and that footing at the present time
IS extremely shaky, the total amount
being, as stated but little above
eighteen thousand dollars and there
are now in the hands of the Treas
urer acquisitions for the expense of

for eleven thousand dollars of this
sum
Extra Session.
Opposition to an extra session of
the legislature has been general and
outspoken, based entirely upon the
expense of it, but the question natur-
ally arises if it would not be better
to settle the question of finance even
at al dOO1IlOAd4 CApC1iSC 10 tuC oIdJC
than to let affairs rock along at such
an uneasy rate for the two years to
come. 1t is plainly a question of
public policy, whether an initial ex-
pense shall be incurred and the credit
of the State internally preserved, for
there will be no alien creditors to
question it, or whether the blunder
of the Legislature shall be visited
upon the State officials and the peo-
pie affected thereby for the ensuing
period of legislative inactIon.

Keystone Express peraiJed.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 27.-Train
No. 20 on the Pennsylvania railroad,
known as the Keystone Express, east.
bound, was derailed near Wilmerding,
Pa, fourteen miles east of here, early
today. The engine, two mail cars and
a combination baggage and smoker left
the tracks, but nom were hurt.
Train Intentionally DeraiIed.
1t is believed the train was inten-
tionally derailed and that the deed
was done by the same parties who
wrecked the Chicago Limited at Stew
art, Pa, last Friday. The same plan
vas carried out and only its slow
speed saved a serious accident.
Might Have Been Deadly Collision.
Both the east-bound and %west-bound
tracks were tempered with, one rail
joint on each track being displaced
within a few rods of each other. Had
the trains coming in opposite direc-
tons met there, they would have col.
lided with serious result.
