NOT AS BAD As II LOOKS
GOVERNOR DOES NOT THINK Elk
IRA SESSION NECESSARY.
Says Deficit at End Of 1911 Will 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 not only
does not think such a move at this
time necessary, but, like other bust
ness men Of the state, thinks the levy
could be reduced, II values were equal
lied.
The governor bases his statement
upon figures furnished him by the
state auditor. He has it 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 q little
more than 81. 0 900 higher than those
of the legislature Of 1908, including
the sale of $e00,000 of bonds, which
he expects to make between this and
January, this would leave a deficit OF
only about 1920, 600. This could be
met by borrowing money, and the gov
rho 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 finan-
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 81, 1000, 900, while there are other
items that will run to total up consid-
erably, but these are the largest
amounts to be paid out.
The total appropriations for the
years 1901 are $7,721,437.30, which
is 81, 07S, 900 more than for 190S-9. The
revenues for this period were $6,262,-
360.22, making a difference of $1,45S,-
067.0S between the revenues, bases on
190S-9 and the expenses of the govern
ment for 1901, including the esti-
mated surplus of $340,O00 over the ap-
preparations of 1908-9, and the sale of
! the 100000 of bonds, would still leave
a deficit of over $500, 900, according to
the figures taken from the report of
the state auditor.

I'VE obtain final results by

club might be good thing for Spo
kane. Agitation against these er.
rors in regard to marriage is what
we need and If clubs are formed

Rev. w. S. McFadden thinks a

but he was more enthusiastic over
an advanced legislative law dealing
with the matrimonial law. "A

cries, but l would have greater con.

A Cupid Wing club has been re.
Gently organized in Trenton, \. j.,
and has adopted the following plat
form:
No Opponents.
No hasty marriages.
No counting in auto mobiles.
No marriages between old men
and young women.
The society comes out strong
and in no uncertain terms, against
all of these things, with the posi-
Bile exception of Opponents, which
the more romantic of the young
lady members are inclined to think
may serve their purpose in the
world of love in cases where par
ents raise unreasonable objections
and interfere with the course OF
true love.
The automobile, as a piece Of
| mechanism for the promotion o.
wedlock. receives unstinted con
domination from the club members
who through a bunch of resolutions
issue this solemn and official warn
ing to the girls Of Trenton:
Girls, beware of automobiles, au
tomobile owners and automobile
drivers. Fascination for motoring
often inspires girls with a romantic
feeling in which condition they are
particularly susceptible to the vile
of Cupid, but automobile marriages
seldom result happily"
