WHERE is THE MONEY COMING FROM?

The tentative state buget submitted by the legisla
tive examiner calls for nearly foureen millions dollars for
the operation of the state departments for the next two
fca years. $13895 $780, to be exact This is just for
the operation of existing institutions and departments
and do not include any commissions boards or act
vities.
Where is this money coming from?
The budget asks for nearly half million dollars
year than appropriated for the current fca
year. If this money is not coming from new taxable
wealth. which for the time being seems nonexstent,
where is it coming from From the farmers who find the
market for all that they produce depressed to such point
that they cannot continue to operate profably? From
the livestock industry facing the situation? From
the railroads. whose volume of traffic has shrun to frac
ton of normal? From the Mines with metal prices at
their lowest levels in thirty years. and with their opera
ton reduced to skeleton organizations.

article:
when one travels much

the question often arises as
to whether the larger me-

more and more hazardous.
"This question arises more

the smaller papers in the

'It is our opinion that the
really local newspaper,
whether it be a daily or a
weekly in a small community
has a place that cannot be
filled by the large metro
