SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

The outstanding warrants OF
the county at the close of 1913
approximate $4,000. while the
general revenues for that year,
if they are all collected, will be
about $4,000: but as there is US
ualIy considerable delinquency
in the payment Of taxes, it is fair
to say that the collections will
fail short 81 800 or =, 900 Of the
rrvrnu" due. Therefore, when
MI ;he avai'abIr funds have been
applied - the payment Of the
Out>tanulng Indebtedness the
deficiency must be IN excess of
$1,000. Furthermore, were the
county treasurer to comply
with the law laid down for the
conduct of his office, he must
apply the revenues of 1913 only
to the warrants issued during
the same year, it would leave an
accrued Indebtedness derived
from the deficits of that year
and preceding years of 5000 or
more that could not be paid at
all until the treasury again had
surplus of general revenue;
thus these outstanding warrants
must go on drawing interest at
6 per cent indemnity until the
money is at hand to redeem
them.
Let us concede that there has
been no way by which the cur
rent expenses could be held
within the present yearly re-
celpts of the treasury, our coun
ty courts have nevertheless been
delinquent in not making ade-
quate provision to meet tke con-
tinued growth of public expens-
es. The course of our admins
trative officers in this matter has
been a makeshift, trimming too
close between income and outgo
and trusting to accident to make
both ends hit even. But let the
responsibility of the present de-
pleted condition of the county
treasury rest where it may,
something must be done to i'm
prove the situation. The county
court must take the necessary
steps ia increase the revenues
sufficient to take care of the
deficit, and the work must be
done when the board of equaliza-
ton meets next April.
We will say more upon this
subject in our next issue.

about the accomplishment of re

extravagances the party is in
