Little Rock, Nov. 6.-The indebt-

felt in the state treasury, is piling
|up at the rate of 100000 a month.
State officials and employees, from
governor TO janitor, are unable to
get money on their warrants. and
are selling them to the best advan-
tage to any bank that will allow
the most for them. There is moth
ing in the general revenue fund
and not likely to be before January

begin to come in, not enough to pay
expenses for q month.
State Auditor lobe estimates that
the total revenues will amount to
only $925,000 from Nov. 4, 1911, TO
July 4, 1912, and that by that time
there will be a total of $4,000
drawn in unpaid warrants to be
met, leaving only about 100000, or
enough to run the state for about
two months, with careful economy.
