BIG DEFICIT COMING.
General Revenue Fund OF The State Will
Soon Be Entirely Gone.

That the state of Arkansas is
about to face the most serious
financial problems in its history,
problem for which no solution
has as yet been devised by state
officials, was the belief expressed
yesterday by Governor George
W. Donaghey, who, together
with State Auditor John R. Jobe,
predicts that the general revenue
fund will be absolutely exhausted
by February l Of next year.
The deficit in the general reven-
ue fund, which has threatened
from time to time for the past Is
months, will actually occur about
that time, they believe, and as
far as they can see now there is
no plan to provide entire relief
for the situation. The deficit, it
is believed, will exist for about
two months. What can be done
is the question that is causing
the state officials directly inter-
ested to worry both day and
night, and it has already caused
the suggestion that an eXtraor-
dinary session of the legislature
be called, to be put to Governor
Donaghey. The governor stated
yesterday that he had been
strongly urged to call the legis-
lature together in special session,
but said he had decided that the
plan would not be feasable.
Other Questions Threaten.
Although the long threatened
deficit is expected to be here
about February, 1911, and to last
two months or possibly longer,
that is not the only question
which confronts state officials.
The cost Of operation Of the ad-
ministration from next year on
will be about $4,000 more per
month than is paid into the gen.
eral revenud fund, and there is
also the question of how to meet
the extra operating expenses Of
the government, Governor Don
aghey stated yesterday that he
thought it would be necessary to
rearrange the state tax rates and
transfer a part Of the common
school tax to the aid Of the gen.
eral revenue fund.
Borrow From Other Funds.
That it will be necessary for
the legislature to borrow from the
sinking fund and the common
school fund at the next session in
order to provide some aid for the
general revenue fund, during the
deficit next spring, was another
belief expressed yesterday by
Governor Donaghey. W h a t
money might be secured from
these sources, however, would
not tide over the deficit, accord
ing to those who have investigat-
cd the situation.
Ask Aid OF Sherliis.
Seventeen sheriffs and collect"
ors in different counties have
been called upon to advance tax
collections as quickly as possible
in order to carry the gen.
eral revenue fund over this pres
ent crisis. The governor has
urged each of those officers to
advance whatever collections
they may have on hand in order
to fight off the deficit this year.
Next spring, however, the deficit
will come too soon by two months
to secure any advance aid from
sheriffs Little Rock Gazette Of
