Everybody knows our next
Speaker, Rep. Joseph w.
Byrns, of Tennessee, is re-
markable for having done
lot of big and important
things but not so many know
how kind and considerate he
is about little things.
Take for instance, on the
day after Christmas, when
he was head over heels in
work cup on the Hill" he
stopped long enough to pose
for a certain portrait photog-
rapher who had long wanted
to get some negatives of him.
When the stage was all set
and the photographer con-
nected the light-out went
the fuse! It took every Sec
ond of the allotted fifteen
minutes that followed to re-
pair the damage and instead
of walking out on the situa-
tion, MIR. Byrns waited until
everything was all set again
and then went through with
the ordeal like the gentle
man he is.

COST IS UP SHARPLY

RY u G. RnSkRrviIla

Raleigh, Sept. 29-The operation of
the State government was very simple
and the cost of financing it extremely
small back in 1901 compared to the
present State government and its cost
OF operation, State Treasurer Charles
NJ. Johnson pointed out today. after
having loked through the annual re-
port of the State treasurer for the
year 1901. The State debt then was
also extremely small.
''The cast on hand when this re-
port was issued back in 1901 was only
$62,37l.41, while the cash on hmand in
the State Treasury today is $i2,356,-
Gl5,' Treasurer Johnson pointed out
AS he browsed through the old report
of 33 years ago. THE total State debt
at that time was only Sc, ,527, ITO, whilel
our present State Indebtedness Isl
$l6l ,424, ,678.14. So we have undoubted-
ly made some progress in the spend
ing of money, at least, during the past
33 years."
The greater part of the present debt
however represents what is still un-
paid of the more than 100000, 600
which the State has spent in building
highways, Johnson pointed out He
also pointed out that this is being re-
paid without any tax on property,
from the proceeds from the State tax
on gasoline, SO that only those who
use the roads are paying for them
The greater part of thsi $12,356,6
in cash now in the State treasury is
highway fund money collected from
the gasoline tax, and being held in the
treasury to meet principal and inter
est payments amounting to several
millions of dollars, which come due in
January.
While iti is true that we are spend
ing more money tfan 35 years ago, it
is also true that the people are getting
a great deal more from the State in
the form of services such as roads,
schols, hospitals than ever before,
Mr. Johnon pointed out
