crnor for cutting the budget demands 80 per
cent before subratting the budget to the icgs-
la,ure This Is an accomplishment In itself We
frankly state that It was unexpected and is
therefore all the more welcome.
We do not mean to say that the reduction is
anywhere near what 1t should be. With the
very firs, act OF the legislature extending tho
tax-paying period In order that citizens In the
stricken districts be not sold out OF home and
implements the necessity IL to hold appropria-
tions down to tho very lowest possible point, and
TO institute economies in state institutions and
departments wherever possible.
Tho legislature. we have full faith. Is not
going 10 start any construction projects at this
time. We hope, too, that It will ruthlessly
abolish those institutions that are not rendering
an adequate and necessary service, yet he Just
an liberal with those Institutions that are render
ing an adequate and necessary service.
