THE STATES EXPENSES.

Hoping to be spared The necessity OF

rapid progress which the state has made
daring the past few years, the Senate
finance committee, In report presented

If. indeed, con .emplated by the Folkes
resolution, under which the recent ses'
sions of the committee have been held,
that bill ready for intelligent action
could be presented at the opening OF
the session uf the General Assembly.
The report frankly recognizes the In
ability OF the cUmmiltee to comply with
The terms of the resolution, requiring 1t
"to prepare the appropriation bill prop

ity," that would not decrease the pres.
ent appropriation for these purposes, II

ments or institutions, or 10 reduce the
salsries OF the comparatively few official.
who are not protected by constitutional
provisions, would seriously cripple and
embsrrass many OF them.
The recent careful aod painstsking
investigation into the needs OF the de.
partments and institutions has convinced
the committee that necessary increases
must be made which will amount in the
aggregate to from $275, 900 to $500. 600
