STATE DEFICIT
IS s2,5O0,0OO
Action fthe Board of Equalization
Last Year Insures Funds.

Old state warrants totaling more
than S2.OOO.OO0 will be funded at once
by the state, following the receipt
Thursday, of report on the outstand.
ing warrants for the last fiscal year
submitted to Governor Cruce by the
state examiner and inspectors office
The report shows that on Maroh :
there was outstanding of the general
revenue warrants for the past fiscal
year the sum OF s2,192,S4427. Since
the close of the year there have been
issued against the 1901 appropria-
tions warrants of series f totaling
$459 ,522.31, making the aggregate 81
652,S665S. AS against this sum the
report showed a balance of $1,166,04 :
SO. This would leave to be funded the
sum of $1,4S6.323.59.
The total amount of the deficit is
more than $2,5OO,OOO, but only the de
ficit for the last year will be funded
at the present, while the balance will
be taken care of when the report is
completed. The deficit was created
by reason of the fact that the last
board of equalization laid a levy of
but l Il mills for general revenue pur-
poses on valuation of more than
$400 900 900 less than it is at present
and the funds thus raised were made
quate The present board increased
the valuation of property 100000 900
and laid levy of Ia mills on this in
creased valuation, thereby insuring
sufficient revenues for all purposes.
The work of funding the old deficit
was left in the hands of Governor
Cruce, State Treasurer Dunlop and
Secretary of State Harrison, who are
proceeding under the advice of Attor-
ney General West A report of the
outstanding warrants issued prior to
the last fiscal year will be submitted
later by the examiner and inspectors
office.
The report shows that there was
difference of but $3OS.27 in the regis
tration of warrants by the state treas
urer and the reports of the auditors
Offices, and these are mainly clerical
errors. Warrants totaling $5,740.09
were enormously registered in the

According to Mr.. Gross, the American
farmer knows he is not getting the full
returns of his labor and realizes that
science will help him, but he must
have that science brought to him in
such for hat he can understand it.
The only way to do this successfully
is by individual instruction, demon
stration and application. He regards
the agricultural college man as his
guide, philosopher and friend. With
the nation and the state working to
this end, as proposed by the pending
legislation, situation that seriously
affects the welfare of the people of the
country. in the factories the shops,
tue cities and towns, even as much as
in the agricultural communities, will
be provided for in the best possible
manner.
The measure is receiving careful
consideration and according to present
indications will become law during
the present session. President Taft
and the leaders of both political parties
are working together in full accord, all
parties agree that this is a question
that rises above politics and one that
should be dealt with as a business
proposition. The proposed demonstra-
tion plan will start in a small way and
Increase as men can be found for the
work. 1t may take ten years before
the plan is in complete operation with
a full complement of competent in
so that all farmers may be
served. 1t is big question and must
be handled in big way.

ANOTHER SENATOR
JOINS WILSON

| Washington, b, Co. March 21.--
Special. United States SEN
ator today joined the already large list
of democrats in that body who favor
the nomination of Governor Woodrow
Wilson for the presidency. Senator
E. D. Smith, of South Carolina who
has been claimed by both the Clark
and Underwood forces, came out to-
day in favor OF the nomination of Gov
ernor Wilson, expressing the opinion
that the New Jersey executive is the
most formidable candidate the democ-
racy can nominate for the presidency.
In giving his reasons for favoring
the nomination of Governor Wilson the
South Carolina senator said
II have heard Governor Wilson
speak on three SEPARATE occasions. On
two of these occasions, it was when
others aspiring for the presidency also
spoke. At the Jackson Day banquet,
held in the city of Washington, demo-
Gratis aspiring for the presidential nom
ination spoke together with him.
''In Philadelphia, at the Periodical
Publishers Association banquet
heard Governor Wilson when aspirants
for the republican nomination also
spoke
"On both these occasions, as on the
occasion when he spoke alone, he i'm
pressed me as being a profound stu
dent of the philosophy of government
| consider that his expressions as to
the theory of government, and the
comparison of this theory with that
now in practical existence, was by
odds the clearest and most convincing
of any expressed on these several oc-
casions. He, of course, as student
a college president-would be consd-
cred, and is considered by great num-
ber theorist, that is, an impractical
one. But his every utterance indicates
the fact that the so-called, practical
politics" is but another name for the
corrupt and corrupting tendencies
that must sooner or later undermine
the very foundations of our republican
form of government, by increasing the
army of malcontents as well as the
unjustly protected number of those
specially favored.
Il believe that Governor Wilson is
the most available candidate that the
democrats have in the field for the
presidency. His work as governor of
New Jersey, in bringing into the fold
of democracy a state otherwise hope
lessly republican; his elimination of
boss" rule and corruption in that
state illustrates his ability to put into
practice as national executive the
theory that he advocated.
Il am convinced in the light of his
political career in New Jersey, his pub
lie utteranees as a candidate for the
presidency, and above all, the frenzied
opposition toward him of certain news
papers, periodicals and individuals,
that he is the most formidable candi-
date that the democrats can nominate
for the presidency and support against
any nominee of the republican party
