 The state treasurer in his re- port says:
 Tn taking charge of the af- fairs of the office as it's auditor and later, accidentally and by ministery of law, as the state treasurer, I have learned of diff ficultieS confronted by this of flee to cover the eXhorbitant expenses incurred by the War Department.
 On account of the difficulties that this office has bad in the war that the government has declared in defense of it's con- stitutional rights, the tax col lecting offices have not been able to obtain payment Of-the taxes decreed by law, regularly. The sums paid necessarily have been small, and these sums have been used to cover urgent war expenses in the different offices where amounts have been paid, and consequently, DO mo- ney has come to the treasury from tn at source.
 "On the other hand, it is very important and essential that the state troops draw their pay regularly and promptly, and there are other war expenses that must be paid without delay, therefor, this office finds it i'm perative to arbitrate the neces- Sary funds to maintain the pub lie power whose potentality is nowadays shown principally by the force of arms. This is a very important question of pub lie benefit, that is above all others comprising the life of the state, and among the means found to fill it, this office thinks that the most acceptable and practical, and the one to give quicker results, is the sale of cattle, for which there is great . demand on the frontier markets. Cattle can be contracted for and sold easily, and these sales are covered by the Appropriation Law of the 27th of October, 1906, where they are perfectly and clearly defined, and as these sales would be of notorious public benefit. the plan suggest ed would give the best results, as all the capitalists of the state of Sonora, with whom loans COUld Dc SSCuICNl, IbNS dO1lOOh- ed their homes and the jurisdic- tion of the state, taking with them all their money.
 Article ?, of the above men, toned law provides: All nov ables and unmovables in the state and the rights therefrom derived can be appropriated"
