There being a deficiency Of $6I,-
429 at the end Of Inc year 1907, and
thc estimated expenses for the year
1908 'bein" $l.422 ,232. as above
stated. it will be necessary for your
honorable body to levy tax for the
year 1908. which. with the other
sources Of income, such as corporation
licenses taxes and other taxes from
indirect sources. will pay this def
cicncy. rs well as the estimated cx-
pcnseS Of. the year 1905, botn ag-
@rcgatin@ fl ,lS5.GG1.
In order I" compy with the consti-
tuition. article 10. section >, il lew of
) mills will raise $1 1897 100. To
this add the estimated revenue. from
indirect sources Of $l73,700. and wa
nave $1,5l0.S90. leaving a surplus
balance of, say, 5000. Had this con-
stitutional provision been complied
with heretofore, the State would
now be Oh il cash basis, aid if it it is
now complied with, in few years
this result will be attained. This is
clearly apparent from the fact that
with an actual deficit of $Gl 400. the
State only had to borrow $4,000 in
the year 1907; whereas in 1908 il had
to borrow $500.000. In other words,
the State only lacks the amount of
borrowed money to be on casn bas-
is.
If The appropriations are kept
within the amoUat Of the estimated
revenue. the natural increase in pro-
pcrty values will give a surplus an
nually which will soon be sufficient
to run the State until the collection
Of taxes, thus dbviatinG the necessity
for borrowing money III anticipation
of the collection Of taxes, and place
the State on a cash basis.
Your attention is called to The
statement that follows, showing the
increased receipts and expenditures
OF The State from 1897 TO 1907. The
receipts for 1907 are necessarily csti-
atcd. for The reason that on Decem-
Der 81 the net uncollcctcd taxes csti-
mated for 1907 amounted to 1919, $40.

The State.
Union, Jan. 20.-A remark able in.
stance Of the serious matters That
can follow child's outburst Of TEN
per. is reported today rs having oc-
cured in TINS county near Santuc
yesterday. From the story as told, it
appears that because a little 4-ycar-
old negro boy whose mother would
not dress him in his best suit of
clothes and take him to church with
her. the boy became so enraged that
after his mother had gone away from
home. in a spirit Of anger set fire TO a
large barn and completely dcst, Dyed
it with all its contents.
The boys fathers name is Andy
Hamilton AMI lives on Dr.. T. B.
Bates place near Santuc and the
story that the direct cause Of the
"nrnin% was due to bhe boys anger,
was vouchcd for by several respon-
sible persons.
The barn was quite a good sized
structure and contained, 1t is said,
considerable forage. When the pa
rents returned home and found
ont what their offspring had done
and what had caused it all, what they
did may be imagined though at this
juncture the chapter on spanking is

JOHNSON'S AVAILABILITY.
New York World.

lNt" plN w
"Thc republic is opportmity,'
said Garfield Could the Democratic
party nominate any man for prcsi-
dent who more completely cmbodies
this vital principle of American i'll
stitutions than Gov. Johnson. Of Min
ncsota? Is there another man whose
candidacy would prove such an i'll
SEPARATION to the foreign-born voter
who has reached up to freedom and
citizenship?
Not since Andrew jackson has the
United States mad president whose
| parents were born under another
flag. Not the part Of JacEson'S mar
velous political strength lay in the
appeal he made TO those humble cit
izcns of the Republic who realized
that what he had done the Soa Of
some other immigrant might do.
According f. the census returns,
less than haNf thc voting population
of ihr United States is of native
horn white parcnta"r. One fourth Of
il was rorci born, ami of the Ia
tivc-born population nearly one
fourth had for>i"n-bnrn parents. 1t
is TO this latter element That Gov.
johnson belongs, as did Andrew
Jackson.
The Scandinavian population, from
which Gov. Johnson sprnng, holds the
balance OF political power in Min
ncSota. South Dakota and North Da-
k"ta. These three States have 10
electoral votes. and Mr.. Bryan coull
NO.! possibly carry one Of thcm. The
Scandinavian influence is very
strong in Illinois. Wisconsin. Micai-
gan. and Montana, which have 81
votes in the electoral college. Mr.
Bryan could not make the slightest
impression on the Republican majori-
ties Of these States. There are 10000
Scandinavian voters in Chicago alone
and $4,000 in Illinois. Under normal
political conditions such az existed
before Mr.. Bryan became the leader
Of the Democratic party, they might
perhaps turn tho State.
Gov. Jchnson's appeal would not
he restricted to Swedcs and Norwe-
gians. 1t would go out to all those
elements, once alien in blood or lang
uaga or allegiance, VINO sought free
dom under the American flag, and
know from their own experience that
the republic is what Garfield said it
waS-oppmtunity. The candidacy Of
this son Of Swedish Immigrant.
who mas worked his way up from the
humbfest conditions would be hard
~ less inspiring to The nativc-born
than to the maa Of foreign birth or
parcntage, for John johnson . car
GER represents the proudcst and old
est boast OF American citizenship.
The World repeats what it has al
ready said, that as The Democratic
candidate for president he would be
at least 100000 votes stronger in
New York and New Jersey alone
than Mr. Bryan
Surely the Democratic national
convention will not smut it's eyes to
The qualifications and availability Of
such a man unless it is so infatuated
with defeat and disaster that the
f"intcst prospect Of victory is ropug-
nant.

WHERE STATES MONEY
WAS SPENT LAST YEAR.
Interesting Annual Statement from
Comptroller General Jones-Es-
Inmates of Expenditures for
Year 1908.

Comptroller General Jones has sub
m:ted to the general assembly his
estimates Of The receipts and expen-
ditures for the year 1908 and also a
detailed account of the expenditures
for 1907. Tho comptroller gcnaral
estimates that a tax of 4 3-4 mills,
together with the revenue from indi-
rect sources, will pay The estimated
expenses Of the State and leave a sur-
plus Ct $25,000, while a levy of S
mills will not only pay the expenses
Of the State, but will pay the de-
flriency Of 1907. amounting 10 $64,-
o0o' and leave a surplus Of over $780,
ooo. AT the same time the comptrol-
-" general estimates that the appro-
prlations for the year will exceed
those OF last year by about $150,O00,
thus making allowances for any rx-
traordinary expenses that might be
made and also for the expenses of
the general election, which takes
place in the fall.

taxpayer in the State, as it shows
exactly how the money will be spent
