Hope For More Cash. - Officials of
the State fiscal departments are look
ing for February to bring in some in
crease in the revenue of the Common
wealth in order to overcome the eX-
ceedly low condition of the general
balance in the State Treasury, which
is now less than it has been for twen-
ty years, This month it is expected
there Will be a considerable increase
in the amount of State taxes as the
tax on premiums of foreign insurance
companies is due. Heavy payments
are also looked for from automobile
licenses and some of the State tax dis
putes will be pushed to settlement
! The new escheat act reports are now
! being filed without much complaint,
the people interested having gotten
used to the idea of making such re-
ports. The National Reserve bank
gave the State considerable assistance
in working cut details.

April. The inspection by the officers
of the regular army has been pushed
to determine readiness for field SER
vice. The Tenth regiment inspection
will be finished tonight and the six
teenth, the last to be Inspected Will

Expect All to Join. Officials of
the State bureaus in charge of work
mems compensation matters believe
that it will only be short time until
practically every company doing LA
bility insurance in the State will unite

handle all ratings and inspections on
which figures will be based.
