MORE STATE PRIsONERS
Inmates Now Exceed SO0-Greasest
Since last Snran~

SINCE Last Spring.
Leavenworth, Jan. 20.-For the flrst
time since early last spring, there are
more than 500 prisoners in the state
penitentiary. At present the inmates
number SO4, having increased rapidly
from 74O since the summer months OF
last year. Warden Botkin attributes
this fact to the courts which have
been In session recently all over the
state.
The new twine plant. which was
completed about week ago, Is now
running under full force and the usual
daily output OF the old factory is being
equalled. As soon as the beginners
learn their respective duties the out
put will exceed greatly that Of the old
plant
warden Botlkin, speaking of the
conditions at the prison at the present
time, gave some interesting statistics
, concerning the prisoners OF the SO4
now confined in the prison TAT are
men and 81 are women. OF the latter
"A are negroes, and 13 are white wo-
men.
Thirty Of the negroes are federal
prisoners coming from the District Of
Columbia, numbering among them
white slavers. bootleggers and coun-
terfeiters. Against the Is white wo-
men, all of whom are Kansas women.
there is nearly every crime Imaginable
charged.
OF the TAT male prisoners there are
246 negroes. which is interesting, in
asmuch as it is over q third as many
as the number Of white prisoners,
while the negro population OF the
state is only about per cent in pro-
portion to that of the whites.

S44.0S; Maine State Prison, $21, 1884;
Superintendent of Schools Department,
S296, ,99i.S3; University of Maine, s124,-
3544 40. Included in this amount is near
1y S420, 100000 for new buildings and
additions for State Institutions, in
cluding $40 100000 for water supply for
the Maine School for Feeble Minded.
To meet these increased appropria-
tions without increasing the tax rate
was the question that confronted the
Legislature. AS the State tax assess
ed in any one year is not received
until the following year the appropria-
tions for 1918, exclusive of temporary
loan item, amounting to $4,956, 724.95
had to be met by the State tax levy of
1912 amounting to $1,809,0S1.65 and such
indirect taxation cf 1913 as came from
railroads, savings banks, corporations,
etc. and which in 1912 amounted to
81, 2,695, ,077.26.
When appropriations are made for
any two years the receipts from direct
and indirect taxation should be enough
to meet these expenditures. Knowing
that the receipts from all sources for
the year 1918 would not equal the ap-
propriations made for that year by
MANY thousands of dollars, the state
Auditors office gave considerable at
tention to the estimate of receipts
from all sources other than the State
tax for the years 1913 and 1914, and also
to the appropriations and eXpendl-
lures. The object being to find out
what rate was necessary to meet all
the States expenses. Those estimates
and figures were given to the Com
mittee on Financial Affairs As the
principal part of the tax assessed In
1912 would not be received until 1911
that rate had to be made large enough
to take care Of the deficiency for 1918,
which all knew could not be avoided
The rate was made 5 mills for 1913 ana
10 mills for 1914 against rate OF =
mills for 1911 and mills for 1872. /

until a few months ago and we paid
them in December 1913. Those bills
were known to the previous State Of
ficials as representative of the
largest creditor told me they wished
to settle with his company for so per
cent of the bill or eighty cents on the
dollar. AS the bill was for cash/paid
out for fighting forest fires, the COM
pany would not accept the offer. The
change occasioned by Chapter 217 of
the Public Laws of 1913, whereby all
bills now go through the AUDITORS Of
flee and paid by the State Treasurer
is a great improvement. Now all
bills of the State institutions are paid
promptly and all discounts saved to
the State. This change adds about
twenty per cent. extra work to the
State Auditors office.
The appropriations for the year 1918
exceeded those of 1912 by $1,212,-
585. 90 and as / have just shown by the
official figures the receipts from State
taxes for 1913 was $755,37 less
than the amount received for 1912
Notwithstanding this credit difference
of s1,967, ,957.04 in favor of 1912 the
net debt is but slightly increased for
the year. This financial result is one
to be proud of by any State admins
tration. Before closing l wish to
note that we paid over $116,000.00 of
deficiency bills of 1871 and 1912 that
went into the appropriation bills OF
1913. In addition We paid out of the
treasury for the Bangor State Hos
pital $14,975.71, Augusta State Hos
pital s23,600, forest fire bills S22,S46.22
and added to our net debt SIC, 1895 by
correction of the Penobseot indian
trust fund, total of s77,1S5.S9.
Below is a statement of the income
and expense for 1913, also receipts and
payments. The income includes the
receipts and tax assessment of 1913;
the expense includes expense of 1913
