Governor Hays gave his approval TO
the appropriation bills of the last Leg
islature, after vetoing outright the Je-
ter bill, carrying $4,000 for the re-
moval Of the boys reform school ana
establishment Of boys and girls indus
trial training schools, and after TRIM
ming down the other Appropriation
bills until the total in vetoes and re-
ductions amounted to S595,O32' THIS
leaves S2,49O,O32 standing out OF the
S9,OS66S1 appropriated 6y the last
Legislature,
On this basis Governor Hays esti'
mates that the state will be on cash
basis at the end of this beiennlal Pc
riod, and that in the meantime no
state institutions or departments VIII
sustain serious hardship. He issued
a lengthy statement in connection
with the vetoes, explaining that he had
been forced to use the veto power
freely through the failure OF the Legls-
lature to make provision to care FOR
its appropriations. He also believed
that he will be subjected to biting
criticism for his vetoes in some Sec
tions, the thinking people Of the state
will stand behind him in his action as
the only thing left to do He states
emphatically that he will discourage
any future deficiencies, such as MS
administration had to meet in the
sum of nearly $4,000, and says his
successor will not inherit any such
nest Of financial troubles.
His vetoes effect particularly the
state agricultural schools, $4,000
being stricken from each under the
item Of salaries. Governor Hays says
the institutions can use part Of the
item Of $4,000 left to each for contin'
gent expenses in providing salaries
and that they need not suffer in this
regard.
The cuts also include Sl379O0 from
the State Hospital for Nervous Dis
eases, $42,972 from the general appro.
priation BILL $4,000 from the state
branch normal at Pine Bluff, $4,000
from the state university and smaller

OFFICIALS OF THE STATE FACE
A SERIOUS FINANCIAL
PROBLEM.
DECLARES LEGISLATURE LAX
Failure to Enact Law Providing For
Inspection Of Fertilizer Handi-
caps Department.
Little Rock

The adjournment Of the Legislature
without making an appropriation for
the maintenance Of the law respecting
the inspection Of fertilizers leaves the
state Department of Agriculture Sc
riously handicapped and promises to
make the enforcement Of the law prac-
tically null, as it provides no means
for the expense or salary Of the eight
inspectors heretofore supported by the
department
Two attempts were made during the
legislative session to secure an appro-
priation for the department, one by
special bill carrying $1,000 and the
other by an amendment to the general
appropriation BILL carrying approx
mately $4,000. The former bill was
slaughtered in the Senate, and the lat
ter attempt to provide for the depart
ment also met its doom in the Senate,
the amendment by the House being re-
jected.
Commissioner Page, desirous Of en-
forcing the inspection, asked Attorney
General Moose for a ruling on the
question Of whether or not a specific
appropriation is required. The en-
forcement Of the law, 50 far as eX-
penses are concerned, Is provided for
by tax on the fertilizer sold in the
state The proceeds Of this tax are
paid into the state treasury, under the
act, and credited to the fertilizer fund.
Since It is collected strictly for the
enforcement Of the law, Mr., Page is
Of the opinion that a specific appro'
priation by the Legislature is not nee
essary, and that he can carry out the
law and draw on the fund to meet eX.
penses Of enforcement by simply Ger.
tifying the expenses to the state au-
ditor He has asked ruling from the
attorney general on this point
During the last administration It
was necessary 10 declare such a def.
cheney 10 the amount Of Sl0,S00 for
the support OF the department, and
this was accordingly paid by the re-
cent Legislature through appropria'
ton from the fertilizer fund. It is
presumed that a similar proclamation
would be given similar treatment by
the next Legislature
During the past two years consid'
cradle fund was accumulated for the
enforcement Of the law, the total fees
from this source being about 100000,
When the Legislature convened, In ad.
ditlon to paying the Sl0SOO deficit out
OF the fund It borrowed S22,50O from
the fund for It's own expenses, leay'
ing the fund close TO rock bottom, II
has since accumulated about $4,000,
now on deposit in the state treasury.
Without the enforcement Of the law
farmers throughout the state VIII be
unable TO secure proper protection
from irresponsible concerns selling
commercial fertilizer thousands Of
tons of which are sold annually
throughout the state.
