represent the States apparent
authorized line of credit. 1t is
the duty and business of the state
and it's officers to see to it that
debts under the appropriations are
not made in excess of the revenue.
AS l have stated before, noth-~
ing heretofore held up by me is
released, and all the unpaid bal
ances of the over-appropriation
made by the Legislature is now
held up, and each department and
institution positively instructed
and directed not to create any in
debtedness or obligation other
than for the actual support of its
institution or department, and for
salaries covering the same.
These requirements must and
will be complied with and let it
be finally understood that the ex-
penditures of this biennial period
will be within the revenues and
that there is not now and will not
be any deficiency.
Respectfully

The Butler weekly times., 1916-02-03

There will be no so-called ode
ficiency,' because the State of
Missouri, nor any of its institu-
tions or departments, will not be
permitted to create obligations in
excess of the actual revenue. In
other words, the state and all of
it's institutions and departments,
without a single exception, must
keep it's obligations absolutely
within the revenue. The appro-
priation of the moneys "not 9th
erwise appropriated d"-that is,
other than for the said constitu-
tional purposes herein mentioned
are made subject to. the fact
that there may be money in the
General Revenue Fund from
which they may be paid after the
said constitutional provisions
have been satisfied.
The State Auditor and Treasur=
er have carefully made estimates
as to the revenue remaining for
the year, and advise me that the
state can pay all the appropria-
tions for the actual support Of
each and every institution and de-
partment and for the salaries OF
those who conduct the business of
the said institutions and depart
ments, except Of course the
amounts heretofore held up, and
also pay all accounts now on file
in the Auditors office awaiting
audit and the issuance Of war
rants therefor, and which cover
large sums other than for support
of institutions and salaries-all of
which will be paid just as fast as
the accounts can be audited and
warrants drawn.
You are hereby directed not to
create any Indebtedness whatever
for anything save and except for
the amounts appropriated for the
actual support Of your institution
or department and for salaries.
In this way, your institution and
every department can and will be
maintained at its present high
standard. Indebtedness for any
other purpose viii not be recog-
nised BY the state, nor the ac-
counts audited or paid.
