cate the tractor from the gumbo, an

TO REDUCE EXPENSES
Statc Auditor Urges Reduction of More
Than Six Million Dollars.

Reductions of more than six million
dollars in state appropriation budgets
are urged by Fred W. Knapp, state
auditor. The total requests are for
$21,531.344. Knapp recommends a
total of 15,245,64y for the new ,bien-
MUM. Appropriations for the last BIZ
enniurn were $14,719,155.
While l have reduced the requests
$6.250,000 for the next biennial peri
3D." said Mr.. Knapp, Il am prepared
to give to the legislature a reason for
every reduction made. l have allowed
literally for general repairs and up
keep of state property and have al
lowed 25 per cent increase in the sal
aries and wages and also in the gem
eral maintenance appropriations for
the institutions with which to provide
for their growth. 1 have recommends
ed just what buildings seemed to be
absolutely necessary at the state hos
pitfalls for the insane and at the educa-
tional and other institutions. while
many other buildings are no doubt
needed, 1 question whether this is the
opportune time to erect them.
The total appropriations which l
have recommended are only about
100000 in excess of the appropria-
lions made for the last biennial period.
whereas the appropriations made for
the last biennial period were $500
900 more than those made by the 1917
legislature. My estimates two years
ago were within about 100000 of the
total appropriations made by that ses-
sion of the legislature. and if they will
come that close to hitting the mark
this time, shall feel amply repaid for
study and labor incident to their
