STATE WILL bE OUT OF DEBT IN
 } YEARS TIME
Governor Henderson Issues Statement in Which He Says Huge Deficit Can
 Be Easily Wiped Out

Montgomery, October 5.-(speciaD to bring in more money, Alabama should be out of debt within three years, ac- cording to lengthy financial statement issued late Saturday by Gov. Charles Henderson Review of the financial con- ditons of the state, reasons why the huge deficit easily may be wiped off the books, and other features are con tained in the 1S-page statement. The surplus for the year ending September 30. 1918, was $647. .563.03, this amount being paid out in liquidating outstand- ing warrants which had been worry to the state many years.
 'The deficit which had been growing been such a source of great annoy ance is now getting within easy reach" says the governors statement. With present legislative appropriations, and with the existing revenue laws, with out change of values or new sources of taxation, the whole amount of the out standing warrants can easily be paid from the states revenue in less than three years. In making this statement T. do not overlook the necessary ex- pense attendant upon legislative ses- sion and the payment of $66.153.5O due the sheriffs of the statef or the years 1916-17 on feed bills, for which the leg islature must make an appropriation.
 'The amount of outstanding warrants at the close of the fiscal year, September 30, 1918, was $1,5S9,136.S9 and in addi- tion thereto there is the constitutional of g209 100 All nf these templated in the above declaration The total amount of the states debt will be materially reduced by the close of the present administration. 1t is with de- light, I am sure, that you will receive this assurance, for you had come to be- lieve that it would require longer series of years to obtain such results.
