pRnvTnING FOR 1916

''To provide funds for the year 1916. the governor can have recourse to the privi- lege allowed hirn by the constitution of making a temporary loan for $300,000, and later on during the year he may have to temporarily borrow on the state war rants as has been done in the past As more than third of the tax year has elapsed, and inasmuch as there is yet unpaid large amount in franchise taxes and licenses, due to confusing opinion redered by the attorney general, which has since been overruled by the supreme court. I think that the governor will find the problem of financing the state during the current year an easy matter. Fer sonaily believe the troubles in connec- ton with our state finances are about over, and with the equalization of taxa tion which is now being rapidly brought about, will soon be happily ended Tn my opinion, the voters of the state did wise thing when the bond issue was defeated"

.FORESEES STATES DEBT LIQUIDATED BY FIRST OF APRIL Weakley AnaIyzes Financial Condition At the Close of
 Business Feb. 10 CARING FOR 1916 IS
 AN EASY MATTER Claims That the Figures Show the Wisdom of Not ResOrting to
 Bond Issue to Meet the
 Situation

John B. Weakley, chairman of the lee- islative committee, which framed the present revenue law yesterday, called attention to the manner in which the states debt is being liquidated. His statement was occasioned by the pub- hcation of an afternoon dispatch from Montgomery to the effect that the state treasury was empty.
 have kept in touch with the condi- ton of the state treasury from time to tune, as l have naturally felt great in- terest to see how the plans of the legis- lature for the payment and gradual re- tirement of the state debt have worked out, said Mr. Weakley, and I have before me a statement of the condition of the state treasury at the close of bus- ness on Thursday, February 10 at that time there was s1.211, ,65O76 in cash in the treasury, on the same day there were un- paid taxes for the year 1915 to the amount of $1,055,O5S.55. The amount of unpaic taxes, together with the cash in the treasury, amounted to $2, 266 70S.71 At unpaid warrants on the treasurer amounting to $2,372 ,3S092, the real def- ciency at this time amounting to $1O5,- 622l These figures show a decided in- crease for the better over similar figures furnished to the legislature about this time one year ago; all of which indicates that the condition of the state treasury is very ra mildly i10nrovipp

LICENSE INCREASES

For instance, the auditor reports that the amount of automobile licenses col lected during the period beginning Octo- Der l. 1914, and ending February l. 1915
 was $45, 90, whereas the amount col lected during the same period ending February 1, 1916, was $S2, ,549. .46. It must be borne in mind also that the expense of collecting the larger sum has been much less than the expense of collection for the prior year. because such collec- tions are now made through the probate Judges offices at a nominal commission compared to what has been paid for such services heretofore. This is only one illustration of the many economies which have been brought about by the action of the legislature, and others will become apparent from time to time. If investigation could be made into the cost of the judicial system as well as the cost of feeding prisoners, and a number of items of public expense which were dealt with by the legislature, it would be found that in nearly every department of tES state government economies and reforms were brought about which will have the effect i'll short time of liquidating the entire debt of the state. The statement which 1 have had furnished me by the auditor also shows that during the month of January, 1915, not including the warrants issued in connection with the cost of the legislature, mileage and at tendance of members, pay of clerks, pages and employees, there were issued warrants to the amount of $1,530, 1461 16; during the month of January, 1916, the amount of warrants issued was $1,001,- 755.49, being a decrease in one month of more than $500000 in the amount of war rants drawn on the treasurer.
 T notice the special from Montgomery states that the state will be able to meet another million of it's obligations dur ing the next 30 days, if tax remittances come as they are due. The statement of the auditor shows that more than $1 O00, GOO of such taxes are uncollected, and feel sure that this payment can be met, so that by April 1, as I predicted in my arguments against the bond issue, the entire debt of the state will have been

A SEPTEMBER SUNSET.

Natures charms are wondrous rare
These September days;
Blushes bold, yet soft and fair,
Set her cheeks ablaze.
All along the country lane,
Woodland stream and field,
Autumn sings a glad refrain
For the joys revealed.
Far-the distant dull gray hill
Mingles with the blue.
There the tiny ripping dill
Threads its wandering through.
Near-the wealths of golden yield
View the setting sun,
Toilers in the harvest field
s-r Rest, the day Is done.
Oak leaves tumble, trees half nude,
Sumas beckons, bold;
Fields of daisies saffron hued:
Pink and marigold;
Towering naples brush the sky
Ger cottage, quaint
Pictures which the artists try,
Vainly try to paint. ~.
Yonder is the wooded ridge
There, the old stone mill,
Here, the moss-grown, rustic bridge
Where the brook seems still,
Twilight shadows softly fall
Light Of day grows dim
For the wonder of it all,
Thanks, more thanks to Him.

Through the galway, down the foot
path,
Through the lilacs by the way.
To the clover by the meadow
Where the gentle homelights stray;
To the wide world of ambition
Up the toilsome hill Of fame,
Winning oft a mighty triumph,
Winning oft a noble name.
Coming back all worn and weary,
Weary with the worlds cold breath;
Coming to the dear old homestead,
Coming in to age and death.
Weary OF its empty flattery.
Weary Of its ceaseless din.
Weary of its heartless sneering.
Coming from the bleak world in.
Going out with hopes of glory.
Coming In with sorrows dark;
Going out with sails all flying,
Coming in with mastless bark.
Restless stream OF pilgrims striving
Wreaths OF fame and love to win.
From the doorways of the homestead
Going out and coming in.

the unfavorable financial condition in

failures and such drawbacks. AT the

LADYS DRESS.
By Anabel Worthington.

This dress win delight the heart of the
comfort-loving woman. Every line OF 1t
spells ease, and it may be made loose and
free without in any way affecting the
style.
The plain blouse has a row of gathers
along the shoulders in front, and these
draw the material little from the centre,
leaving the neck a trifle open at the top
A small, fancy collar makes a pretty fin
ish to the neck. The back Of the blouse
Is entirely plain and comes forward on
the shoulders far enough to suggest a tiny
yoke at this point.
The waist closes in front and has plain
sleeves following the shape of the arm,
and either full length or shorter.
The skirt has four cores. These are
shape!y, not straight at either edge, and
are gathered at the top, where they are
held by the band. The belt is wide and
flat, and may be used or omitted. The
lower edge of this skirt measures 29s yards
in the medium size.
Almost any of the cotton fabrics may
serve for this skirt and above all the
more serviceable weaVes, such as ging-
ham, calico, cambria, and lawn and or
candle, although these are little dressy
for this style.
The dress pattern, No. 7,265, is cut in
sizes "a to 44-inch bust measure. Medium
size requires 51s yards of 36-inch mate
rial.
Price Of pattern. 10 cents.
