SURPLUS IN VT. TREASURY
Perhaps No state Tax Necessary n
Legislators Keep within Budget

Montpelier, Oct. 6.-According to figures
taken from the books of the treasurer and
auditor, the State of Vermont is likely
TO have a surplus of nearly two million
dollars at the end of the present calendar
year. According to conservative estimates,
this will make a State tax Unnecessary
next year II the Legislature Keeps within
tho present budget. This condi ion ap-
parently results from close figuring and
strict economy on the part Of the various
departments and the Board Of Control
from largo increase in State revenues
and from tho state tax Of 40 cents. which
is evidently about 20 cents larger than was
necessary TO meet the extraordinary ex-
penscs Of the war.
Tho following statement shows the f.
nancial condition of the State, July l.
1920. and what is expected in tho way OF
revenues and expenses:

The amount charged off to unexpended
appropriations will probably not all be
expended. Certainly the total of S5oi rs 81
for "IIighways Auto Maintenance Fund"
will not be paid out. as the claims from
the various towns will not be received by
that time.
The same thing applies 10 ss3,93o9 96. TN

expended appropriations cover the various

nent school fund, SiSj.72, fish and game
SO 56S.ss; fire marshal, s7.701.i3; State fair
S975.45; State highway tax, AS22 &c; un-
organized towns and cores, S5,65i2l.
These accounts overlap from year -
year and from term to term, so it seems
very Likely that there will be about s.
o1o,000 free money on hand, January l.,
/ 1921. thus ohviating the necessity for q 40
! cent tax and probably making It possible
] for the Legislature by watching appro-
! priattons closely to avoid any State tax.
or at least to keep It within nominal
| limits.

Warren was willing to risk $3,806.50
more than half of his first years
prospective salary in the United
States Senate, on the chance of win
ming the senatorial nomination in
the first primary August 81. This
amount places Warren as the high

ed in Washington.
Senator Smith has filed an expense
account Of $438.65 for his expense
preceding the first primary, but has
filed no second statement on that
primary, although it should have been
in the mails by midnight of September
18th.

fore the first primary, and w. c. Irby
who spent $142.04, have filed no Sec
ond statements. Neither Smith nor
