 Atlanta, Jan 2s. (UP)--dovern. mental economy in the southeast ern tier of states, from Virginia to Louisiana, is being undertaken Tn the historic spirit of reconstruction days.
 4 combined def,cit of more than s50,000, 900 confronts the admins istrations of eight states. Virginia is out of the red.
 In every state programs have been launched to meet the i'm. mediate emergency. Budgets have been curtAiled, governmental ''friIls' siashed, salaries reduced, payrolls pruned.
 Under q law enacted at the last legislative session. 1t will be im- possible for Georgia to legislate It. self into debt beyond It's assured capacity to pay. Means to wipe out the existing deficit over a period of years have been worked out. Ap. propriations, under new budget bureau, are $3i00o.o00 below last year.
 If Georgia's revenue for any year trails the total legislative appro- priation, then every appropriation is subpected to an arbitrary reduce ton in ratio to the whole. Unpaid appropriations. the law provides. cannot continue q legal claim upon the state treasury.
 virginia---Without a deficit, the old dominion's assembly convened Jan Ia and, on suggestion of Gov John Garland Pollard, tho senate voted a 10 per cent reduction In memberH salaries. Similar action by tho house is expected, Pollard voluntarily submitted to a similar rduction and has recommended that public school teacher. salaries he reduced.

 That would leave . deficit of not more than $1,000,000 by July 1. The budget bureau is paring expenditures tp $23,000,000. com- pared with t2o,000,000 of appro- oiations. Some salary reductions and personnel elimination have been effected.
 South Carolina---With . deficit of approximately $5.000. 900. Gov ernor I. c. Blackwood has asked tho legislature to enact q two.m'll tax on property and an increase Of one cent c gallon on gasoline. The appropriation bill slashes salaries of state employees. while an oddi- tional saving of S2,000,000 is plnn- ned through curtailed expenditures and elimination of departmental activities. Reduction in the number of counties has been recommended. County governments seek tax re- auctions.
 Florida: Despite 6 deficit. Cover nor Doyle D. Carlton believes addi- tional revenue will be unneccssary, particularly because of savings ef- fected by centralized buying and economies in state departments.

Expenses of the state exceed revenues by $4,000,000 annually.
 Tennessee---With . deficit Of Se,000 .000. Tennessee balanced It's budget in December, 1881, through an increase in the gasoline tax, an intra-state truck levy and q bus levy. with q $2 Identification tag tax on automobiles. Salaries in all state departments have been cut and personnel reduced. The high way department now numbers D. 900 as compared with 13.000 in former years. An annual saving of 93,000,000 is expected.
