In preparing this budget the financial
program Of the State has been treated
strictly from business point OF view
with the idea of pointing out how the
necessary revenue can be most talriy
and euuitably secured and what eX-
Lenditures are most needed for the
general welfare of the people Of the
State. Recommendations both for tax
alton and for expenditure have been
made with complete disregard for ,~'-
itical influence of individuals and the
comparative importance Of cities and
towns where institutions asking for
State funds happen to be located. Ihe
sole purpose has been TO offer pro-
gram which wou'd raise by taxation
the smallest amount of revenue con-
sistent with public needs and distribute
these funds to the various institutions
and departments in strict proportion to
the relative importance and amount of
public service expected from each Of
