nation that some city officials do not

"ff ] am expected 10 talk IN the tone

One suggestion Is thai Germany IL de-

could amount to practically nothing IN

year. and that IL Mr.. Whitman has a d.
rect tax this year. eauallinR The contri-
buttons to the state sinking funds OF last
year and this year, IL would amount to
about SIS, 900, 900 and enable the Gov
ernor to point to the fact that he had
kept the regular expenses Of govern
ment within the revenue secured from
the present sources Of indirect taxation.
Keep Expenses Down.
The way to keep the regular ex-
penses OF state government down" said
close friend OF the Governor tonight
is 10 keep the expenses within the in
direct revenues, when they are sufficient
as at present TO meet all needed ex-
penses aside from the contributions 70
the sinking fund. Then a direct tax In
eNCeSs OF the SINKING ru0T requirement
would be the barometer each year
whereby the people OF the State could
measure the economy OF the State ad-
ministration.
Gov. Glynn was able to get by last
year and pay his sinking fund contri-
buttons out Of the Indirect revenues by
leaving us more than 5000. 900 in un-
paid bills and what amounts to a deficit
in the State Treasury The resul, is
that We are now behind Just the amount
Of last years sinking fund requirement.
and this years direct tax will have %
take care Of that deficit and the sink
Ing funds for this year. BY rigid
economy the Governor hopes 70 be able
10 reduce the actual expenses OF running
the state government even below the
amount Of the indirect revenues OF the
State"
An amount In excess OF SIS, 900 900
has been paid into tire sinking funds
over and above what should have been
contributed to keep the funds in proper
shape and the constitutional convention
this year Ia expected to make an amend
ment to the Constitution 80 that this big
surplus can be used TO make up the
sinking fund contributions FOR next year
and the year after.
II this plan IL carried out the Whit
man administration will be enabled 20
get along next year without even the
