in Hungary is represented in unofficial
dispatches as pressing. Reuters AM

Premier Tisza informed the Hungarian
Chamber that the governments calcu-
lations regarding crops had been upset

STATE CAN PAY
ALL OF ITS BILLS
Must Not Lay More Taxes to
Do 1t Is Statement of
Auditor General

Pennsylvania can pay all of its bills
and it does not need to increase it's
revenues or to lay any more taxes to
do it Is the statement made by Auditor
General A w. Powell in a statement
made here late to-day on the finances
of the State. Mr.. Powell says that
If one studies the government of the
State il will be seen that there is no
need for new rexenue, but necessity of
reducing expenses.
Mr.. Powelrs statement, which
shows the present condition of the
State finances, declares as we'll that
pennsylvania is in better financial
shape than any other State and that
this month there was a big jump in
cash and that the State could to-day
pay all evidences of debt and all bills.
The statement is the first to be
made by the auditor general since
his return from the border and is as
follows:
Revenue does not need to be in
creased. Expenditures need to be re-
duced. Everybody seems to have for
gotten that the people pay the taxes,
no matter from whom they are first
collected. The cost of government has
risen from $1.97 per capita in 1850
to S4.54 per capita in 1915.
THE government of the State COL
lected from the people as its revenue
for the year 1850, S4,43S,131.51 and
for the year 1915, $31, $50, ,727.S5. We
estimate the revenue for 1916 will be
S32,000,00O. This estimate is based
upon the fact that the total revenue
settlements to the treasury from this
department to September 2S, 1916,
were s25, ,707.05, of which S5,-
449,61S.61 are yet in their hands un-
acted upon, and the revenue from fees
of office, various departmental re-
ceipts, collateral inheritance tax, etc,
will n1N 1rty, hA tDtn
the figure above estimated, which ap-
proXimates the average for the past
ten years notwithstanding the fact
that the personal property tax,
amounting to over S5,000,000 a year,
has been made the subject of local
revenue and does not appear in the
receipts for 1915 nor the estimate for
1916.
"At the close of business on Sep
tember l., when l returned from the
border, there was a balance of SS47,-
2S4.6S in the general fund: notwith-
standing the fact that we have paid
out during the month S2,261,916.5O
the net balance in the general fund
at the close of business to-day is ST.
544,723.S5.
THE State is not only solvent, but
amply able to pay all of it's uncon-
ditional liabilities. 1t has no bonds
outstanding and no certificates of in
dentedness which are not covered to
their full face value by cash in the
sinking fund and has ample money to
pay all of its bills, if we disregard
those conditional ones created out
or its generosity to private charities.
Il have opportunity to examine the
reports If controllers and auditors
general of other States and I do not
hesitate to say that the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania is in better
financial condition than any other
State in the union"

The head of Mrs Small, which was

In the opinion of officials the woman
was first shot, then beaten and SUBJ

statement of a spectator at the fire
