TREASURY NEEDS
 MILLION DOLLARS
Legislature Unable to Flake Rev. enues Meet Needs of the
 State Government

Little Rock, Mch. 4.-But one week of the legislative session of 1913 remains, and it is the most important of the whole period. Fully 75 per cent of the work done up to the present time has been on local legislation, but the members say they cannot help it as their people demand it.
 There have been a few general laws enacted of importance but the great mass of acts consists of laws applicable to special counties and communities. Now the gen. eral Assembly is confronted with the financial problem. The Ways and Means Committee and the Joint Finance Committee have been working hard on the bills, which were dumped into the House Monday morning. There had been a total of $3,547, ,455.16 appropriation bills introduced and referred to the Joint Committee, including deficiency measures cov- ering money already expended, aggregating $367, ,640.56. Against this astounding total is set an esti- mated total revenue of about S2,- PTS, 5,000, according to the calcula- tions of former State Auditor lobe. This leaves shortage of about $1 300, ,000 to meet which the appro- priations must be cut down by the Legislature, or 1t must side-step the issue as did the Legislature of 1911.
 It is admitted by all that the in- creased demand upon the states resources because of new institu- tions, new departments, and in- creased salaries of the last few years, with the reduction of the general tax levy by three-quarters of a mill in the last Davis legisla- ture, is the cause of the present financial stringency of the state. This has been only partially met by the increased assessment brought about by the activities of the Tax Commission.
