Cash Basis For
State After 1929

A saving of about $400 a day or
$4,000 a month to the state govern
ment in interest on registered war
rants is proposed by three house COM
mittees, John p. Orme, senior Mari
copa member of the appropriations
committee, disclosed Monday. The
committees have approved the regu-
lar tax anticipation bill.
The plans of the judiciary, ways
and means and appropriations COM
mittees are to put the state on cash
basis by 1929.
AS the tax anticipation bill was
brought to the committee of the whole
amended, it carried favorable recon-
mendations Of the three committees.
The amendment strikes the clause
reading "And all uncollected taxes for
each year thereafter" and corrects it
to read: "The provisions of this act
shall apply to all uncollected taxes
for the last half of the year 1928"
The committee Of the whole house ap-
proved it for passage.
J. G. Callaghan, state treasurer,
commenting on the measure, said, "the
present patchwork of fiscal laws url-
der which the state operates is dis
grace to the legislatures that created
them and to every subsequent legis-
lature which has tolerated them"
The "basic trouble as he saw it,
was that the date on which the states
fiscal year begins, July /, is separ-,
ated by five months from the actual
receipt of taxes. For more than six
months every year, he said, the state
was forced to run on credit, paying
the banks per cent interest. In the
| issuance of tax anticipation bonds,
bondholders are paid 3.5 per cent in
! terest.
AS the regular bond measure was
submitted to the legislature, it car
ried provision for the issuance Of
bonds on all uncollected taxes for al
the wears to come. 1.-TWO years hence,
said Orme, I'VE think we can be on 9
cash basis, and that's the reason fol
limiting this bill to the coming bien
mum"

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Business is still somewhat slow in
wool at Boston, awaiting the outcome
Of the heavyweight openings, the first
and largest of which took place on
January 26. The trade, however, re-
ports mills making number of in
quiries and taking some fairly large
weights of wool. Since the first of
the year considerable quantities OF
wool have been sold amounts which
ordinarily would be thought large
but the trade anticipates further ex-
pansion in view of the admitted scare
ity Of stocks at the mills. Prices have
been firm, and the market is charac-
terized as strong, in sympathy with
the tone of foreign markets. Terri
tory and fleece woods have again been
actively in demand. Boston buyers
are reported to have been active IN
Australia, and very large weights Of
wool are reported on their way to this
country.
