STATE FINANCES
ENGAGE ATTENTION.

Trenton, Jan. 13.-Reports of the
State Comptroller West and State
Treasurer Voorhees, submitted yester-
day to the Legislature show that the
expenditures on account of the State
fund for the fiscal year ending October
81 last were $735, 229. SO in excess of the
receipts. The receipts for the fs.
cal year were SIS, 516, 510.24 and the
expenditures 6,255, 739 SO. The cash
balance of the State fund at the end of
the year was 1854, sos. SO.
None of these figures include main
stem railroad taxes collected under the
Perkins law, and which are paid into
the state treasury and then distributed
to the public schools of the state.
The reports of the comptroller and
treasurer show that the estimated re-
ceipts for the present year with the
balance on hand will make a total of
81, 896, 678. So.
The appropriations for the present
year already made aggregate "a. 379, :
1890, and there is beside money pay
able on unfinished contracts under ap-
preparations made in former years
amounting to about $500, 900, These
with appropriations made, iconsideriug
the balance on hand and the Sestihated
receipts, would carry the State 10 the
end of the year with balance OH hand
of only about $40, 600. This does not
consider the money likely to be appro-
priated at the present session of the
Legislature in the supplementary ep-
preparation bill. The supplementary
appropriation bill generally carries sew.
eral hundred thousand dollars +
The significance of these reports is
that the State is going behind ia its
State funds at the rate of several hun
dred thousand dollars year. The bal
ance in the State fund at the end of
1908 was So, 951. 637. II, so that with the
balance at the end of 1908 of 1854, sOs, SO
there has been shrinkage in thee bal
ance in five years of So, 1856. 1928. 81.
There is general impression that
the State is going behind in its finances
because of falling off in receipts from
taxes on corporations, but this is not
we'll founded. The revenue from mis-.
cellaneous corporations for 1908 was the
third highest in the history of the
State, the amount being 50, 4S4, 1852 AZ,
For 1907 the receipts were about $780,
900 in excess of 1908, and in 1905 about
$40, 900 in excess Of 1908.
The annual expenditures of the State
have increased from $4, 435 926. 46 in
1908 to IS, 251, 739. 80 in 1908.
Governor Fort in a special message
will treat of these matters, and will
make some recommendations to the
Legislature with view to increasing
the States receipts.

CITIZEN ROOSEVELT.

The buster and big stick which
have been prominent features of the
past seven years in the national adj
ministratlon win not be conspicuous
during the next four under Mr.. Taft.
He Is more deliberate than his pre-
decessor and will weigh things in a
judicial manner before acting. But
with all his buster and impetuosity.
his determination enabled Roosevelt
to accomplish more as president than
any OF his predecessors in the past
quarter OF century, in fact since
the days OF Lincoln, and while he
goes out of once with many enemies,
especially among the members OF
congress. he also retires with many
friends and admirers. The mistakes
he made were not serious, and the
good he accomplished will live after
him. and grow as the years go by.
Like Washington and Lincoln, Roose-
velt's greatness will not be appreciat-
cd at It's full worth until those now
living have passed away, and the Inn

records his deeds both great and
small. When tho storm that followed
him through his administration shall

pie as one Of our really great pres
