ing and maintaining common nuis-

that he has not been engaged in the
liquor business, that he has been
sufficiently punished and that fur

Copyright. 1923
HonbOng, Oct. 6.-Warning of the
eventual suppression by the British of
opium traffic in Hongkong, Which is
that drugs strongest bulwark III
China, was sounded by Sir Reginald +.
Stubs, colonial governor, in his an
nual budget speech.
Hitherto Hongkong's legalized traf-
fic in opium has been the .nsurper-
able obstacle of international anti
opium organizations in their effort
to free the people of China from their
greatest curse.
The British colony has maintained
its own me nopoly in opium dealing
on the mistaken theory that high
prices would curtail its use.
On the contrary, add:cts have in
creased while China has resumed pop
by cultivation. coltending that the
efforts Of the international anti
opium society were merely attempts
to destroy China's opium traffic. and
to encourage the British monopoly un-
der an alleged cloak of morality.
Should Hongkong voluntarily sup
press government manufacture; and
sale Of opium. it will mean serious
loss of colonial revenues.
The last available budget in 1922
shows that the opium traffic brought
the British colony S5.J00.000 (mex)
and that the income fvom the drug
furnished 80 per cent or the colony's
total expenditures.
A goody proportion Ct this went di-
rectly TO London under the defense
Of the realm act.

DEFICIT IS MOUNTING
So, 1000, 600 Mark To Be BY First Of
January. 80.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 6.-Outstanding
unpaid revenue warrants of the state
of Texas on October l, 1928. amount
ed to S3,370,515, according to tabu-
lation made Saturday by the comp
troller's department.
This clearly indicates that the de-
ficit in the state treasury will reach
S5,000,000 by the first of next Janu-
airy.
From that fine, however, the de-
,ficit will begin TO decrease because
of tax collections and by the first Of
next March /, sufficient tax remit
tances will have been received to wipe
out the deficit and once more place
the state on q cash basis.
The state is not expected, however,
to remain on a cash basis for more
than three months when it will again
begin operating on a deficit.
Tax collections from January ] TO
March /. is estimated in the treasury
department to reach S16,000,000, all
of which goes to the credit of gem
eral revenue.
This. will be more than sufficient
TO clear all outstanding debts of the
state at that time.
