$4,000 Deficit
Paid by Miller
With OWnCasll
Settled Bills Contracted by
Ex.Secretary With Most
of Years Salary Rather
! Than Violate Precept
Upheld Economy Rule
Governor Declares 4Anirnus
Is Shown i'm the State
ment Made by Moses

ALBANY, July 2s.--It cost Governor
Miller Something over $4,000 to live
up to q rule against deficiency appro-
priations for state departments which
he established at the outset of his ad-
minigtration y.
Rather than violate the precevt
which he set forth in his inaugural ad-
dress-5that there must be economy in
state finances and no more deficiency
terms--the Governor paid from his
private purse the sum by which the
executive department exceeded its ap-
preparation.
Revelation OF this probably unparal-
leled procedure in state history was
made by the Governor himself tonight
in statement intended TO reply to
charges by Robert Moses, secretary of
the New York Stete Association, that
the Governors own department. had
exceeded it's budgetary allotment.
The Governors explanation also
brought to light the fact that "for-
mer secretary did incur bills for GER
tain purposes in excess of the appro-
priations for those purposes" The
Governors former secretary was w
Ward Smith, who resigned at the end
OF the last legislative session to enter
private business in New York City.
Accuses Moses of Animus
Mr.. Moses, who brought the charge
is accused of animus in the Governor g
statement, which also denies that the
deficiencies incurred we're TO be made
UP from lump sum appropriation
next year. .
az did that" said the Governor, re
ferring to his payment of the de-
ficiency, because ! had set my face
against deficiency appropriations, and ]
had to observe the rule that ! had
80. I could not violate it myself and
then make explanations. The people
who accomplish things in this world
are usually those who perform instead
of explain"
Performance, rather than explana-
tion, cost the Governor a sum equal
to greater part of his first years
salary as chief executive. The salary
is $4,000.
Some "trifling" bills, left over from
the preceding administration of for
mer Governor Alfred z. Smith also
were paid by the Governor, he declared
in his statement.
Referring to the charge by Mr.,
Moses, the Governor said:
at does disclose the animus OF Mr..
MOSES, anu III uOeS snow now nara put
put to it he is to find something to
criticize, and what he says is partly
true.
Ex-Sceertary Incurred Bills
at is true that my former secretary
did incur bills for certain purposes in
excess of the appropriations for those
purposes.
Some of them he paid himself, and

and paid the balance myself.
"The Legislature was then in ses-
sion," the Governor continued. ~ could
have asked for deficiency appropria-
tion. Mr.. Moses evidently is unable

1t involves personal sacrifice"

Of New York's "neo-modernists" ex-
pressed their intention of attempting
to put business man, immune from

statement, unsigned and unsponsored,
which was issued through The Asso-
ciated Press following a meeting of
the group. The rest is a secret.
1t has been secret OF she group for
several months, it is rumored, and is
still secret in the main. But, from a
few of the fragments which were un-
avoiadbly produced when the secret
met cast-iron state election law head
on, the indications are that it is moth
ing short of coup TO tie literary
knots in the tail OF the Tammany tiger
and haul the G.. o. P. elephant from
the boards in the coming gubernatorial
election.
The regulation of the Board OF
Elections, which requires formal an
nouncement Of an intention to hold a

CENSOR THE MOVIES
FROM WITHIN

THE Legislature Of Massaehu-
4 sets passed at act providing
for censorship of movies. The
people, in a referendum vote, gave
a majority of 33s,443 against CEN
sorship.
Legislatures are not always rep
resentative, any more than they are
always right, says the Chicago
Tribune. II this case the people
have han an opportunity TO rebnke
the legislature, whether that body
was merly mistaken in its interpre,
tation of popular sentiment or was
trying to take pa%ternalistic action
for the higher welfare of its con
stituents. We believe they would
do SO on other moralistic questions
if given the opportunity.
At that, they also may be wrong
1t rests with the movie producers
10 pIOVS lIiEy at 4AEi-
istic government and moralistic
legislation are inspired in part by
the egotism of reformers and OF
those who obtain authority, but
also in part by the obtrusive evils
which cali for correction. In the
matter of the movies these evils
can be corrected from within. Il
the producers will use common
sense and decency they can avolo
any probability Of real censorship
If they do not, they will be respon,
sibie not only for the direct bad
influence of bad movies but for ar
increase in the modern tendency
toward paternalistic moralistic
government and interference witt
personal liberty.
The public is not always giver
the opportunity to rebuke and Sc
aside such action as that taken BY
the Massachusetts legislature.
