HARDING APPEALS
FOR RIGID ECONOMY
Governor Sends Special Message to
Legislature Recommending Two
Courses to Reduce Expenditures
BIames Previous Legislatures.

Des Moines, Feb. 10.-The deficit in
the state treasury which will amount
to $1,4S6,5i1 on June 80 Of this year,
was officially brought to the attention
OF the general assembly today by
Governor W. L. Harding in a special
message delivered to Joint session
The governor said the situation was a
heritage from previous Legislatures
and must be met by the present gem
ersl assembly He suggested two
means Of meeting the shortage.
One, he said, was by reducing ex-
penses thru the consolidation of de-
partments and institutions ard a re-
duction Of overhead expense. The
other way, he said, was an appropria-
ton for the biennial period beginning
July /. 1917 In closing he called at
tention to the International situation
and said that in time like the present
the thoughts Of all should be Sin
unison for united country supporting
those in authority"
The governor said in part:
IF we live beyond our income in
days of plenty. what will be the condi-
ton If reverses in the business world
overtake us? The dark shadow on the
horizon caused by our international
relations, must, I am sure, sober the
mind OF. every citizen. Serious atten-
ton should he given by you to ways
and means to secure new revenues to
meet just demands and, If possible.
without increasing the burden of those
who are already contributing to the
support Of the state"
Regarding the international situation
he said:
cat this time there should be neither
pickering nor small words. am sure
speak the sentiment of every citizen Of
the state when say that the resources
and men within our borders are at the
command of the president not to fight
"a nation or a people but to maintain
our national honor and our sovereign
rights
Bills in Senate.
According to bills introduced today
in the senate OF the Iowa legislature by
Senator Ratcliff, Of Montgomery. and
Senator Wilson, of Appanoose, drug
eists will be prohibited from procuring
liquor permits. Both bills provide for
the repeal Of the druggists permit law,
and neither senator knew the other In
tended to introduce a bill. The bills
would stop the abuse Of the permit
privilege. which the sponsors say is
now abused.
Senator Rule, Of Cerro Gordo. today
secured the passage Of a motion to
have his bill regulating the sale OF Gig
arets placed on the calendar Of the
senate after the judiciary committee
had reported it out for indefinite post
ponement.
Under Senator Rules bill minors will
not be able to secure cigarets or Gig
|aret papers. It will provide for the IL
censing Of dealers who handle cigarets
and the law machinery OF the state
may then regulate the sale.
