general revenue fund without in
jury to the special funds and at
the same time averted deficit in
the general revenue fund. The
state must meet its current eX-
penses and, you can mark it
down, a deficit in the general
revenue fund means increased
taxation to the people, In at
tempting to prove Governor DON
aghey not responsible for the
threatening deficit in the states
funds the Soliphone has clearly
established the Records conten-
ton that there is mlsmanagement
somewhere along the line. And
we wish to call the Soliphone's
attention to the fact again that
the present administration has
not been hampered with short
tax levy. Again, notwithstand-
ing the SJliploae says the state
has been threatened with a def
cit in the general revenue fund
for years, We believe the general
public will agree with US that
nothing was heard of such athing
until very recent years.
Again the Soliphone says:
"Instead Of increasing the taxes,
as the Record charges, Governor
Donaghey has done all he could
to tighten the burdens Of the peo-
ple,"
The fact is, the Record has
never at any time charged Gov,
Donaghey with increasing taxes,
We are willing to pay the Soli.
phone a liberal reward for copy
Of the issue Of the Record con.
tanning such a statement,
When the matter OF the threat
ened deficit was made public a
few weeks ago the Donaghey
papers began to yelp that the
governor was not responsible for
the dilemma, before the governor
had been accused, The Record
only wanted these papers which
could so quickly absolve the gov.
ernor from any connection with
this deficit to inform the public
who is in fault, both as a matter
Of news and for the public good,
because the evil might then be
corrected. The Donaghey press
kicked before it was hit, which is
always a suspicious action, The
Record is perfectly willing to ad-
nit that the administration Of
Governor Donaghey has not yet
increased taxation, but it is quite
evident that the administration Of
Governor Donaghey may result
in increased taxation. The state
is not out Of the woods yet, and
We must remember, too, that the
collectors Of the state will do
some business next year and the
year after next. Like the poor,
the tax collector we will have
with Us always.
The Record has no further fight
to make on Governor Donaghey,
but we trust that because he has
again been nominated he is not
placed on a pedestal above
honest criticism, The Record
never eats "erow' and Is not in
the habit Of swallowing It's own
words, Our opinion Of Governor
Donaghey has not changed in
the slightest since he was a can.
didate for denomination, but,
since a great majority Of the
people OF the state want him for
governor again, we can take our
medicine. The Record has al
ways swallowed It's medicine, un'
diluted and without making O
face, However, we are not eS'
peeting a seat on the g0haghey
bandwagon and hope we won't
need pardon.

THE STATES FINANCES.

1.-The Sharp County Record, like
many other newspapers Of the
state, falls into an error in dis
cussing the state finances that is
quite common. \ majority Of
people do not seem to understand
that we may have hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars to the credit
OF the several funds like the state
!, capitol fund, the sinking fund,
the common school fund, and
other special funds and Yet have
deficit in the general revenue
fund. A threatened deficit in the
general revenue fund is nothing
new, We have been confronted
with it for years and from year to
year the county collectors have
been called upon to advance
money to the state treasurer to
meet the states current expen.
ses."
We do not think the Record
Y has fallen into error in discussing
the states finances. Recalling
an editorial which appeared in
Y these columns two weeks ago, We
remember to have said that there
is a big deficit coming in the
states finances. This intorma-
ton was given out by Governor
George W. Donaghey through
N his public apologist, the Little
N Rock Gazette. We remember to
N have said that, since the Gazette
y was 50 prompt to declare Gov.
y Donaghey not responsible for
this deficit, the Gazette might tell
v us who is responsible for it, We
NJ remember to have said that there
is "screw loose" somewhere in
\, the management of this states
affairs, because the people are
AN today paying the highest tax for
Mayears and yet there is about to
n occur a huge deficit in the treas.
xnry. We remember to have said
Y that the state that collects as
much money from the people in
taxes as does Arkansas and is
then unable to meet necessary
expenses is being bled to death
psomewhere along the line by
somebody connected with the
management OF the states affairs.
We remember to have said that
the man who can't see that much
ought to be bored for the simples,
We wish to repeat every one OF
these statements,
In The paragraph from the Sol.
phone printed above we find this
Interesting statement: "A ma.
jority Of people do not seem to
understand that we have hun.
dreds OF thousands Of dollars to
the credit Of the several funds
like the state capitol fund, the
sinking fund, the common school

yet have a deficit in the general
revenue fund"
II this state Of affairs is true in
Arkansas, and the Soliphone
y says such Is the case, the Rec
ord's charge that the state is be.
Ing mismanaged is already prov.

will agree with us that the gen.
eral revenue fund Is the fund
from which the state meets It's

penses. Now, II the people Of
Il the state Of Arkansas are paying
taxes to pile up money in the
special funds while the general
