STATES FINANCES
IN BAD CONDITION
COMMITTEE M KES REPORT
SHOWING THAT DEBTS EX-
CEED THE INCOME.

The report of a special committee
to investigate the states financial
status says:
when acquisitions already made
are honored, if no other funds are re-
ceived by the treasurer, there would
be left about $12.148.O6, as the treas
urer reported a balance of only $685.
695.89 on July %. 1t is very probable
that other requests-those incident to
the present session of the general as
sembly if no would easily con-
sumo the $4,000 referred to, and all
other funds that can be anticipated
would, before that date, come into
the treasury and thus it seems highly
probable that the treasury on the first
of the month would be completely
drained.
"Your committee finds that the total
approximations for 1920, including
those listed on page seven of the 1919
report of the controller general, and
the 100000 appropriated since the
general assembly convened for the in
crease of pensions to Confederate vet
Grams, and the 100000 deficiency APP
preparation to the state sanitarium,
amount to $9,874,616.50. The total
revenue, including all known available
revenues and anticipated revenues
the revenues anticipated being most
literally estimated, and, indeed, placed
at a sum which many of the members
of your committee confidently feel is
double what the revenues will really
be-will give the state only $9,828,-
791.97, thus leaving an excess OF S45,-
824.63 of appropriations over the rev.
enues that will be realized this year
The revenues, as above stated, are
placed at the most liberal figures which
even the most sanguine members OF
the committee feel could not be eX-
pected."

8 PER CENT RAISE
in PRICES OF FOOD
COMMISSION MEN PREDICT CON-
SUMER WILL PAY MORE AS
RESULT OF INCREASED RATES

NEW YORK -Commission men de-
clare that an advance of 6 to 8 per
cent in retail food prices would not be
unreasonable in view of the increases
in freight rates authorized by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Dispatches from Washington quoted
members of the commission as saying
that any appreciate advance in prices
as a result of the rate increases would
be unwarranted.
Food Head Sees Price Rises.
Herschel Jones, head of the local Of
flee of the State Division of Food and
Markets, agreed with the commission
men that food prices would be in
creased when the new freight rates
went into effect.
81 would not consider an increase
of between and per cent in food
prices as a result of the new rail tar
ifs as disproportionate," said Mr..
Jones.
Austen P. Fox, president of Austen
P. Fox & Co., one of the largest COM
mission merchant firms in the city,
said:
at is absolutely certain that food
prices will be increased corresponding
iy with the railway rate increases.
There is every indication that food
prices will go up considerably above
the proportion of rate increases. II
freight rates in the East are to be
increased 40 per cent it is reasonable
to suppose that the increase will be
fully reflected in the prices OF food
stuffs. In fact, it may go above that.
Decision Affects Stock Market.
The immediate effect of the decision
was seen in the stock market A jump
in the price of railway stocks was
followed by an attack on industrials,
which sent United States Steel COM
mon to a new low level, depressed
other stocks and eventually even hit
the railway stocks, though those OF
some of the stronger roads showed a
net gain.

UNIVERSITY TRUST
CHARGED In HOUSE
LEGISLATORS ASSERT THAT IN
STITUTION DOMINATES POLL
TICS OF THE STATE.

ATLANTA.-One of the liveliest
fights of the 1920 session of the legic-
lature developed the afternoon of the
day before adjournment over the SEN
ate bill designed to repeal the law Of
1910 which gave the board of trustees
of the state university the authority to
name three members of the board for
the Georgia Normal and Industrial
college at Milledgeville. This bill,
which it is charged was directed
against Judge George F. Gober, Byron
B. Bower and Hugh Rowe, the present
ex-officio members of the G. N. & l. G.
board and appointees of Governor
Rorsey was passed after bitter con-
test.
Advocates of the bill were led by
Representative George H. CarsweI,
and it's opponents by Representative
Brown of Clark and Moye of Ran
dolph. During the debate, in which
many of the representatives took part,
charges of politics were freely made.
Charges Political Trust.
Representative Landlord of Toombs,
who took a spirited part in the fight
for the repeal, charged that the
friends, attaches and alumni of the
University of Georgia have formed a
political trust in the state that threat
ened to prevent anyone from occupy
ing important state offices who coulo
not get the approval of the university
"You can talk about your oil trust,
said Mr.. Landlord, ''but the mos
damnabie trust that has eyer beer
formed in Georgia is the state unlver.
sity trust. 1t is getting to the point
where a man cannot be elected gov
ernor, speaker of the house or to any
important office unless he pleases the
university trust"
Representative George Carswell III
explaining his vote upon the bill salC
that he believed that the educationa-
system of the state should be rur
from the capitol, and not from the
campus of the University of Georgia.
He said as long as the trustees are
appointed by a governor who is under
the influence of the university at Ath-
ems there will be both politics and
trouble.
Speaking for the bill were Messrs.
Carswell of Wilkinson, Wohlwender of
Muscogce, Stroller of Bib, Landlord
of Toombs, Jackson of Jones, Alfriend
of Baldwin and others. Against the
measure were Representatives Moye
of Randolph, Covington of Colquitt,
Pace of Sumter and others.
