STATE FINANCES.

The statement of Auditor Gates which
has just been published gives ground for
encouragement over the condition of Yer
mOnts finances, but it should not be
received with undue optimism. 1t is
pleasing, of course. to note that there
was a balance of approximately 81, 1885,
600 in the state treasury at the close
of the fiscal year ended June 81, 1922,
but in rejecting upon this state of af-
fairs conservative taxpayers will bear
in mind that not so very long ago there
was much talk about a surplus which
in fact did not materialize.
The Phoenix does not intend to take
cannot help feeling. nevertheless, that
tie state auditor is over-optmistic in
his belief that the end of the present
fiscal year (Junc 80, 1929 will see a
considerable balance on hand. In his
estimate of receipts for the coming year,
Mr.. Gates figures $1,250,000 from the
40-cent state tax. Last years 20-ccnt
tax. however. brought in but little over
$500 900 so with no change in the grand
list the receipts from this source for the
coming year could hardly amount tC
more than S1.11S,000. Furthermore
there is every reason for believing thai
the grand list for the year will show {
considerable falling off-sO much, in
deed, that receipts from this source MAJ
not amount to more than S1,OOO,0OO
which would wipe out all but approx
mately $4,000 of the estimated surplus
The auditors statement that the leg
| islature of 1921 appropriated somethin
over S1G2.OO0 more than has been o

preparations even though the taxpayer

Considering them from all angles. Th
Phoenix can find nothing in the Gate
figures to cause a revision of its opir
ion as to the vital need of curtailin
state expenses. which for the year jus
closed exceeded those of the previou
period by more than S120,0 900 and AZ
likely to run very close to estimate
revenue for the current year despite tn

that the district continue to receive
tuition pupils on the same terms as last
year. Martin Austin moved an amend
ment that the numbe: of tuition pupils
. be limited to the accommodations, and
, Mr.. Gilbert accepted the amendment al
though considering that such a linita-
ton would be observed, anyway.
On motion of Charles G. Staples it
! was voted to leave with the prudential
committee the matter of having medical
inspection of the schools as provided in
