State Treasurer Kay
Thinks Situation Bad

The defeat of the state tax bill in
the election Tuesday has put the state
in an awful predieament, in the opin-
ion of Governor Withycombe and State
Treasurer Kay, two members of the
state board of control, while Secretary
Of State Oleott, the third member,
points out that the next Legislature is
going to have to do some tall pruning
if it keeps its appropriations within
the amount of state taxes that may be
raised under the six per rent tax lin
itation.
If the money will not meet the
states needs, Mr.. Kay points out that
nothing stands in the way of the legis-
lature making as large appropriations
as it deems necessary. Then if the tax
es cannot be levied to cover the amount
appropriated, as soon as the state
funds become exhausted the outstand-
ing state warrants will begin to draw
interest at the rate of six per cent i'm
mediately after they are presented for
payment and stamped "unpaid for
want of funds"
Governor Withycombe has %announc-
ed that he will abolish or reduce the
state military police, and save running

construction, as received in this office.

doubt as to its plain meaning. .
"After the receipt of the second
message, reporting the celebration IN
Brest, we received no further word
whatever from Mr.. Howard or Mr..
Simms, although messages were dis
patched to them as early as ! P. m. yes
