LOCAL GOVERNMENTS URGED TO
RETRENCH RATHER THAN EXPAND
Statement Issued to All Governing Boards by Governor and
State Tax Commissioner Suggests That Outstand
ing Indebtedness BE Liquidated

off We believe in u business nd
mlnistration Of government and are
firmly Of the opinion that the public
has the right TO expect that you will
handle the business administration o.
the taxing district under your con-
troll in busincss-likc manner.
This principle of administration
certainly demands that you reduce
all outstanding Indebtedness where
such procedure is possible and that
you take a careful inventory of re-
sources. including the taxing ability
Of your district before cmbarking on
any new program Uf puD..c improve
mCnt.
Transfers Not Permitted
III il particularly called to the at
tcn;ion Of counties. cities and VILLAGES
that their expenditures durin.r the
balance Of the fiscal year are limited
by the budget appropriations made
before last years levy An accumu-
lation of cash in any fund does not
mean that you have any authority to
cxpcnG more than the amount which
was appropriated in your budget
adopted af.er public hearin. at the
beginning Of your fiscal year. COun-
ties have no authority to make trans
fer to road funds from the general
fund. 1t is not permissible to make
transfer to any funds except where
the amount appropriated Is insult
ficicnt to meet the expenditures re-
uu,rcd by Law. There is no law under
which they are required to make any
additional expenditures for road puf-
poses other than those mplatcd
when their budget was adopted.
1--WE believe that you are lust rs
much interested in Il wise and bust
ne ss-likc management of the affairs
Of Your district as we can possibly
be. that you arc interested in "A better
North Dakota and that YOU recognize
the necessity of keeping down the
public debt. of stopping interest pay
ments where possible. Of conserving
cash resources and Of limiting any
program for public improvements to
such extent that the tax burden OF
your district will be kept within II
reasonable limit.
consequently We believe that you
will accept the suggestions contained
herein in friendly manner and will
use your best business judgment in
carrying them out.
yours very truly.

Rctrcnchmcnt rather than cxpan-
sion should be practiced by local gov
crnmcnts in order to best utilize the
improved financial conditions. says a
statement just issued by Governor A.
g. Sorlic and I. II. II. Thorcsen. state
tax commissioner.
Addressed TO governing boards.
county commissioners. school boards.
township boards and city councils.
the statement stresses the need Of:
Reducing the public debt.
Stopping interest payments.
Conserving cash resources.
Lin ting public improvements.
From information At hand says
the communication. at appears that
Tax collections during the last few
mon. hs have been very good; that a
large amount OF accumulated back
taxes have been paid up. and that
prbilc treasures. generally. are IN
much better condition financially,
than has been the case for many
years. The State is to be congrat-
ulated on tails condition Of affairs
Should Conserve Resources
I'VE believe that il would be proper
at this time TO call your attention to
the vita need of conserving the &C.
cunulAtcd resources thus obtained IN
the public treasury. This state. IN
common with other northwestern
states. has laborel under an cx
tremelv heavy tax burden for the
past few years, due to the increased
cost of commodities and labor. Dur
ing that time taxes have been more
than douhled and public debt has had
a tremendous increase.
THE economic welfare OF this state
demands that very stringent economy
be exercised y, the conduct of public
affairs. A part Of the increased bur
den of recent years is due to the
unwisc management on the part OF
governing boards. This is said. not
as criticism. but as a friendly warn
ing as to the future. In some cases
public improvements have been made
that were not necessary, school build
ings have been erected at a cost that
was beyond the ability of the taxing
district to pay.
Should Pay Indebtedness
"In case cash accumulated in the
treasury justifics such action. it is
| suggested that where possible. out
standing Indebtedness he lGuMated.
If bonds can be called. pay them off.
! If certificates Of Indebtedness can be
called in, call them in and pay them

TO OPPOSE the
DEPORTATION OF
ENEA SORM EN- Il
Young Italian Editor to
Talk on Fascism

To protest against the deportation
of Ernea Sormenti to Italy, where the
vengeance of Mussolini awaits him,
a meeting is called at West Side Aud
itorium, Racine and Taylor streets,
Thursday, Jan. 6.
1t will be under the joint auspices
of the International Labor Defense and
the Anti-Fascist Alliance.
Sormenti is the brilliant young edi-
tor of the Italian weekly, II Lavora-
tore, and is one OF the foremost anti
fascists in the United States. His
case is still pending before the au-
thorities and the threat of deporta-
ton has deeply stirred the working
class circles cf america.
Sormenti himself will address the
meeting on Jan. 6, not only on his
own case but onothe subject of fas.
cism. He has been victimized, at.
tackled, and imprisoned many times in
italy, and has an interesting and i'm
portant story to tell.
