made for two years ii advance at
the session Of 1909, the sum Of S.

nun. The amount appropriated for
the support Of The State government
Of Louisiana for the years 1909 and
1910 averaged .5I6,0M q year,
and taking the population as q basis,
and the rate Of expenditure here, the
amount appropriated to support tie

I'D be fully $4,000, 900, whereas. the
average amount appropriated for that
purpose is. as we have seen above,
only $4,000.

maintaining the government Of Mis-
sissippf have been greatly reduced
from the expenses Of The two years
