than the one before, During fifteen
years the expenses of the govern
ment of the state of Tennessee actu-

According to statement prepared
by Comptroller George P. Woollen
the disbursements in this state in
1909 were $2,662,646.S6, During the
year 1914 the disbursements were S.
246,271.37. Receipts of the state have
not quite kept pace with the expendi-
lures. In 1900 the receipts wereS2.-

1t is not a difficult matter to tell

is all accounted for. OF the five and
quarter millions spent last year
over three millions we're spent for
three objects, charities, schools and
pensions. These three objects claim
ed three out of every FIVE dollars paid
into the states strong box. For char
tiles were expended $750,86S.17; for
schools, $1,515,56s1S( and for PEN
sions, $80S,711.15. In 1900 we did not
expend 30 much for these objects
either actually or relatively. In that
year for charities, schools and pen
sions we spent $5S1,0OO. That was
less than q quarter of our entire OK
penses, as compared with three-nfths
last year.
During the fifteen years we have
just little more than doubled our
expenditures for charities, spending
in 1900 $322.O26.62; while last year
for the same purpose $750,6S6.17 was
expended. For schools fifteen years
ago $167.170.53 was spent; last year
the total was 's1,B15;5eSt2. This is a
pretty substantial increase in expen-
ditures. but the percentage is no
greater than the increase in expendi'
lures for pensions. In 1900 We spent
for pensions, $92,742; last year 1t was
$80S,71115, or nearly ten times as
much.
One cannot eat his cake and have
it also. We cannot go on increasing
appropriations for such splendid OBJ
jects as pensions and charities and
schools without facing bankruptcy un-
less we also make provision for a
largely increased income. That we
have not altogether provided and we
doubt II the people would approve an
increased tax rate.

RYE'S MESSAGE.

~ - ~ tW@OSNN@s
Another good message, one full of
wholesome advice to the members OF
the legislature, has been sent to the
general assembly by Gov. Rye. Upon
most of the items of legislation there
will be general agreement with Gov.
Ryes suggestions. He urges strict
economy in the expenditure Of the
peoples money, advice that it is sin.
cerely to be hoped the legisla-
ture will accept 1t is rather disap-
pointing, however, that the governor
does not specifically set out how a
large sum can be annually saved to
the taxpayers in the administration
