North Carolina.
Governor Fountain entrance fol.

two contests for major state offices in

The principle involved in this cam

the control of the democratic party
shall pass into the hands Of a power
full machine that bids fair to become
a political juggernaut, debating the

priving the rank and file of democrat

GENERAL REDUCTION
OF EXPENSES BEING
PUT INTO EFFECT
Revenues For The Past
Three Years Were Ten
Million Less Than Was
Expected.

North Cardinals general fund de-
ficit at the end of the present fiscal
year, June 80, is expected to be S.
70S,37S, of which $~2,332,550 is the
amount by which the budget was not
balanced for the 1921 biennium:
and the balance of $3,373,S2S is the
result of expending the full amount
appropriated for the six months school
term without curtailing the amour,
to the extent hat the mount appro-
priated to the State Departments and
institutions were curtailed, it is shown
in a statement issued by Governor o.
Max Gardner, director of the budget,
through Henry Burke, budget assist
ant.
1.-The situation was realized in 1929
and plans were laid and have been ex-
ecuted to gradually reduce State ex-
penses," the statement says. Reduc-
tons against appropriations amount to
$3,561,2oo for the two years of 1929
81 and $2,562,1S4 for the one year
1931-32, a total of ~$6,123,3S4, it is
shown. The potential debit balance,
or deficit, for the three years to June
so, 1882, is $11,S29,762, while the
actual deficit is expected to be S.
706,37S, the difference $6,123,03S
being the reductions in expenditures
from the appropriations.
cit is difficult to say now what
can be done for the fiscal year 1892
50, but it is expected to reduce ex-
penses in even greater degree. Plans
are being worked out to hold the deb
it balance for 1925 to a maximum
of $1,350,000-and if necessary on
account of continuing distressing con-
ditions to hold the expenses within the
income for the year," the statement
says.
ut has been attempted to reduce
expenses gradually and to preserve
without serious impairment the ser
vices and activities to the State gov
eminent and to which the people are
entitled. Under distressing and diff
cult conditions, this has been accomp-
lished up to this time"

Unable to furnish bond, Kendall
has remained in the Montgomery
