STATE FACES GREAT DEFICIT.
Revenues For Present Fiscal Year
$l,000,000 Less Than The
appropriations.

Comptroller Harrington report to
Governor Goldsborough shows that in
the present fiscal year the States re-
ceipts will be approximately $1,000, 600
less than the appropriations.
This, the Comptroller says, is due
to the EVIL of continuing appropria-
tlons;" to the expenditures caused by
creation of new bureaus and commits
sions, and to old-fashioned and out-of-
date methods of handling finances in
the Legislature.
He recommends that continuing
appropriations" be abolished; suggests
there possibly is way to reduce the
expense of the new bureaus and com
missions by eliminating waste and
duplication of effort and cost, and pro-
poses what amounts to a budget
system" for handling State finances in
the Legislature.
The shortage will not affect the
credit of the State or the security of
its bonds. Interest and sinking funds
for the bonds are provided by direct
tax. That is levied and is sufficient for
the purpose.

A New Ford Story.

Here is a new Ford story we saw
somewhere. but have forgotten just
where. A man in California writes to
the Ford company and tells them they
should feel very much exalted for the
reason that the Ford is the only car
mentioned in the Bible and to prove it
cites them a passage in Isaiah which
says: He went up into Heaven on
high" and askes what other car but a
Ford could do that? Ford Treacy says
There is none.
