Governor Dix deserves much credit
for his work on the states financial bal
ance sheet. He reduced by total OF
S5j19.12S - the aggregate 'appropria-
lions sent to him by the Legislature.
Governor hughes last year vetoed pro
posed appropriations amounting to 81
1874 81. Governor Dix figures that
the aggregate appropriations this year
from the general fund amount to ST.
49, 12S 81, as compared with S42,9lo,-
$50 s. last year. balance in favor of
this administration Of S4S0322 -. To
this the Governor adds an automatic in
crease in appropriations for sinking
funds Of S1,470,05 81, cared for from
the general fund. making a total de
crease i'm the'actual running expenses of
government in favor of his adminiStra-
ton of 81 .950379 rs.
Analysis of the Governors memoran-
da in connection with the appropriations
and supply bills shows that he did con
siderably more toward carrying out the
Democratic pledges Of economy ana a
business administration than did the
Legislature. 1t was Executive ideas

Journal of Commerce and Commercial

amendment If rejection means an
adverse vote in both branches of the
Legislature. only three states have taken
such action-Nermont Rhode Island and
Connecticut Both branches of the Mas
sachusettS legislature defeated a ratifi-
cation resolution in 1910. but one house
voted for and one against such a resolu-
tion in 1911. Further, il is said:
The states in which no final action has
been taken are Vermont, Delaware,

which no vote has been taken I'm either

house rejected the resolution for ratifca-
