GOV. W. W.BACON
MAKES PLEA
FOR ECONOMY Y
toon.lnusu Irvm rir.. raas,

Declaring that the state should dc
everything possible to maintain tax
rates as low as are commensurate
with the efficient operation of gov
ernment, the Governor pointed out
that federal taxes will unquestion-
ably be increased because of the de-
tense program.
"An unbalanced budget can result
only in an increase in bonded debt
or new taxes" he said. :" . A
trust has been delegated to you to
keep our state solvent at a time
when our cash balances are the
lowest in a decade. In my opinion
the answer lies in cutting expendi-
lures with the least harm to eff
cient service"
He recommended the creation of
a 100000 emergency fund for pos
sible abnormal highway mainten-
ance as wen as emergency require
ments. The adoption of a road pro-
gram calling for an appropriation of
$2,000,000, which will enable the
state to receive a federal allotment
of S1,500,000 was recommended.
The Governor urged the State
Board of Education to cooperate
with the federal government in the
vocational education plan of train
ing workers for national defense in
dustries. He suggested that over
crowding in some rural schools be
corrected by sending the pupils to
other schools in nearby cities or
towns, rather than through the con-
struction of additional schools at
this time.
