GOVERNOR boss NOT THINK Ex-
IRA SESSION NECESSARY.
Says Deficit at End Of 1911 viii Be
Small, Provided 100000 Of Bonds
Are Sold.

Jackson.-Gov. Noel does not think
there will be any need for an extra
session of the Mississippi legislature
to raise the tax levy. but admits taxa
ton is a subject the next legislature
must deal with. Gov. Noel no; only
does not think such move at this
time necessary, but, like other bust
ness men of the state. thinks the levy
could be reduced, If values were equal
lied.
The governor bases his statement
upon figures furnished him by the
state auditor He has IL figured out
that, with appropriations the same as
for the last two years. there should be
a surplus of something like $4,000
at the close of the fiscal year 1911.
With the appropriations a little
more than 81 900. 900 higher than those
of the legislature of 1905, including
the sale of 100000 OF bonds, which
he expects TO make between this and
January. this would leave a deficit OF
only about $4,000 This could be
met By borrowing money, and the gov
ernor does not expect any serious
financial crisis for the state.
The reduction of personal values, OF
course, will reduce the states income
some. but this will amount TO only a
few thousand dollars, and will have
but little effect on the general fnan-
cial condition of the state. With the
sale of the bonds, about 100000 OF
which have already been disposed OF,
the governor thinks the state will be
ready to meet all obligations accruing
between this and the first of the year
OF these obligations, two items, pen
sions and schools. will take something
over $1,000. 900. while there are other
items that will run TO total mp consid-
erably. but these are the largest
amounts TO be paid out.
The total appropriations for the
years 1901 are S7,72f 1880. which
Is SLOTS. 900 more than for 1909. The
revenues for this period We're S6.262,
$50 22, making a difference of Sl.45s,
O67. OS between the revenues, bases on
1909 and the expenses of the govern
ment for 1901. including the esti
mated surplus of $40. 900 over the ap
propriations of 1909, and the sale OF
the 5000, 900 OF bonds. would still leave
a deficit OF over $500. 600. according ia
the figures taken from the report OF
the state auditor.
