isla<tYe 70 the Executive Branch OF
State Government I have not forgot
ten the Agialattye point oe view. The
Contingent Fund for tvo Legislative
sessions has bean under discussion
and has besn confused by rumors and
uncertainties. Its origin. it, purposes.
and its amount have al been some
what misunderstood. desire that the
facts be made known both to the mem
bers here and to the people Of the
States 1t large.
The State Audtbpr informs me that
On January l. ts41, this fund amount
ed to $7S6,160.A against which there
are now chArgeable certain items es-
timated to amount TO $4,000. This
leaves q nett Contingent Fund Of 1885,
10000, which Is less than 81 OF the
total cash payments for the years 1915
and 1890. This fund was established
by law in 1915. The Contingent Fund
consists: First, k lxpses from appro-
prdations not used; and Second, Of the
amount By which the actual income ex-
ceeds the current expenses for the
year. The fund created from these
two sources, Is then withdrawn by the
Governor and Council; First for emer-
gency work that arises after the close
Of the legislative session; Second, for
the completion of work that has been
started and for the completion Of which
the appropriations made were not suf-
fcient; Third, for work authorized by
the Legislature but tor which no def
mite appropriations were made.
Il Is readily seen that where Q Leg
islature must estimate the States in
come and expenditures for . period of
twantyfou or thirty months In ad-
vance, exaetness In those estimates
cannot be obtained. The Governor and
Council occupy the position Of board
Of directors that have freQuent meet
ings, while the Legislature corresponds
In Q measure to stoekholdsrs meet
ing. hald not a often a once year,
but once in two. II the stockholders
have confidence IN their directors there
are advantages In having Contingent
Fund.
Formerly there vas . tsndency on
the part oe heads Of departments to
sxpend whatever appropriations were
made Tor them, with the result that
appropriations often we're exhausted.
and unpaid balances we're carried TO
the next administration. Today the
department head realfses that II the
funds of his depsrtment become az
hansted he may then apply to the
Governor and Council and state the
reasons why he needs relief. There
also was . tendency In former times
for heads Of departments to make
sure of having an appropriation large
enough for al contingencies. A prop
sriy administered contingent fund
checks the demands for excessive de-
partmental appropriations
Il should be recognized that the
past four years, with rising costs Of
labor, material and supplies, have been
dtfncuN ones, but In these respects the
outlook for the future Is somewhat
more encouraging. During the years
1919 and 1870 $1,517,sz782 was spent

State contingent fund and SEX, ,S59,11

British Open Champion

ranks was hnnlst's position in the

be invited to take a course of baths at
Hot Springs Of French Lick before the
rest Of the team reports at Shreveport.
When last here Huggins intimated he
was giving the proposition serious
thought.
Such move would not only benefit
the mainstays OF the pitching box who
without exception are we'll advanced in
years, as athletic lives go, but would
furnish the best possible practice for
tae batters from the moment they
started to train.
Last spring, in Jacksonville, the vet
eran pitchers were particularly slow in
rounding to form, and the Yankee club
potentially hard-hitting outfit--was
proportionately slow in "fnding it's
