REVENUES ARE RUNNING Low
STATE TREASURY WILL SOON BE

Result is Due to Unusual Appropria

Des Moines, Sept. 15,-The funds

They are so law that If all September
obligations were presented for pay

which could not be met without re
sorting to the Understanding war

ltions and institutions under the board
Iof control are entitled, according "a
their appropriations, more money
than that for the month. The state
salary roll which falls due on Sept.
80 amounts to about $4,000.
But the state will not run behind.
II would be something out of the or.
binary If every institution which has
an unexpended appropriation would
demand its money. II worst comes To
worst word will be sent to the insti.
tutions to hold down their vouchers.
After October l the state treasury
will be replenished. The last half of
the taxes are due from the counties
at that time. Enough money will be
provided to bear the burdens for the
present, but there may be another
shortage before the first half of next
years taxes get into the treasury.
II has been many years since the
treasury was as low as 1t now Is. The
last legislature is responsible for the
present conditions. II made appro-
priations to spend all the available
money as is customary. but Il failed
TO provide for the expenditures In
keeping with the receipts.
