 "We must concede that we do not have the capital within the Territory from which to draw funds for the development of our re- sources and we should therefore en- deavor to encourage investments from other sources At this time when there seems to be a univer- sal tendency elsewhere to increase taxes, can conceive of no greater evidence of our desire to cooperate with those who wish to invest mon- ey in the Territory than to balance cur budget and if not reduce taxes, at least maintain the present rates.
 Tt Is very easy to accede to the demand to spend money from the public funds but we should not forget that we are merely trustees for the people and we shoul1 give the same consideration to the ex- penditure of these funds as we would to money entrusted to us as individuals. We should not make appropriations unless we are con- vinced that they are essential to the public welfare. There is a vast difference between those ap- propriations which are necessary and those which are only useful or desirable, the latter are luxuries l and we, as public servants. should not permit the public funds to be | so expended. We should especially guard against adopting new projects , because, once established, a prece- dent is created and although it may {, not be so stated it is at least i'm piled that similar appropriations will be forthcoming in the future Finances
 Financially the Territory is in ! better condition than 1t has been for many years. On December 31 1928 the net cash balance in the Treasury was $602 ,570.46 as com pared with 53,32l AS on December 3l, 1926. In 1927 the revenues ex- seeded the expenditures by $l75,- 230.90 This is accounted for by she abnormal salmon pack in 1926. Tn 1928 the disbursements exceeded the receipts by $125,961 92, thus leaving net increase to be carried 10 the surplus of only s49 PAS. .9B. The net cash balance March 1st was s967, ,0l9.35 but, less this be mis- understood. it should be stated that it includes a large part of all the taxes that will be collected during the current year and out of this we must pay this years expenses. This balance is $25, ,235 less than it was at the opening of last session. A statement of the revenues that have been derived. by the Territory from all sources for the past eight years will be of value in estimating the probable receivpts for the next two years. The following table was compiled from the records in the Treasurer's Office:
 l923-1924 --....... 1,779, ,56425
 1925-1926 ............ 2,239.050.52 1927-1928 .......... 2,426,164.20
 Statistics covering receipts and dis bursenents for the period 1918-192S inclusive show that during this time there were seven years when the expenditures exceeded the reve- nus and had it not ben for the reserve created by the payment of disputed taxes we should have been confronted with considerable de- ficit.
