THE STATE REVENUE

"The monthly statement of the Mis-
souri, treasury shows a balance on
hand of $3,967 ,990.62, but the State
institutions are eking out bare ex-
istence on borrowed money, although
there are valid appropriations to pro-
vide adequately for their needs"
Thus starts out the Globe-Democrat
in one of its characteristic campaign
editorials to bolster up its charges of
Encouragement of the States financ-
es. The large balance in the treas
ury, however, shows that the several
funds to which it belongs are faith
fully and conscientiously guarded to
be used for the purposes for which
they have been set apart. Only
$124,212.65 of this large balance be-
longs to the general revenue fund
the fund constitutionally provided for
paying officers salaries, appropria-
tons and other government expenses.
The Globe-Democrat would have it's
readers believe that the State Off
GERS are in some way to blame be-
cause "the valid appropriations to
provide adequately for the needs of
the State institutions have not been
paid in full. But it knows, as does
everybody who has given the subject
any sort of careful consideration, that
the Legislature in making these APP
preparations far exceed the ability
of the State to pay under our present
system of taxation and apportioning
of the revenue-a system that is
hedged about by constitutional limita-
lions. How can appropriations be
met that exceed the States revenue?
That is the condition that exists and
has existed through several admin
istrations, Democratic and Republi-
can. 1t is not party question.
1t does not follow, because these
appropriations cannot be met, that the
State moneys have been mishandled
or squandered, only that the Legisla-
ture exceeded by far the estimated
amount of revenue that the State
could raise under our present taxing
and apportioning system. The con-
stitution limits the tax rate for gen.
eral revenue purposes and then sets
apart one-third of this to be returned
to the counties for public school pur-
poses.
There has been no misapplication
of funds or inefficient management on
the part of a single official. Inc con-
dition with which they are confronted
is as embarrassing and annoying to
them as it is to the institutions which
the Legislature so literally provided
for without stopping to consider where
the money was to come from for car
rying out the provision. The next
Legislature should, and doubtless will,
take this matter up and provide some
better business methods for overcom-
ing these recurring biennial shortag-
es. With an experienced business man
like Frederick D. Gardner at the head
of our State Government, to plan and
help the General Assembly to con-
struct measure, a practical business
plan may be worked out and enacted
into law. Mr.. Gardner has already
pledged himself to that task.

! Tire company in their meeting Satur-
day afternoon, to increase the work
I ing capital in order to take care OF
the business now being turned down
because of the lack of machinery and
room for taking care of this business.
An increase of 100000 eight percent
preferred stock was voted. 1t was
decided also to have plans drawn for
q warehouse and Office building.
These plans will be ready for the
contractors in short time. and when

the present time. BY the time the
1917 season is started the Standard

ing out as high as $50 tires per day.
Over 100 tires day are now being
made.
/ At the meeting Saturday 1t was
explained that the company was up
to its capacity. and that it was neces-
sary because CT the lack of equip
ment to turn down lot of orders.
The plant was working to its great
est capacity, and unless the stock
holders wanted to increase the work
ing capital 1t would be impossible to
manufacture any greater amount a
tires. All of the molds and cores and
the like were In use, and it would be
necessary TO increase the working
capital to keep pace with the increas-
ing orders.
X Was Unanimous.
When the vote was taken on the
proposition TO increase the capital
in
voice in all of the stock represented.
It was unanimously voted to author

the common stock is bettered by this
arrangement end those who are hold

Plans will be drawn for the con-
