or all of the total.
3. Be optimistic and work for a
healthy state economy that will allow
the forecast to be met or exceeded.
a. If an excess in revenue is in
dicated, appropriate that too.
Offhand we'd say this is the
sponge policy - soaks up every
thing.
Governor Barnett inherited a $38
million surplus from the previous adj
ministration Of Governor j. P. Coleman
- all Of which will be spent by the
time he leaves office.
The most optimistic predictions of
Barnett's own supporters is a Sc mil
lion surplus at the end of his term -
and this is admittedly based on on
tinued successful expansion Of the
states industrial program and antici-
pated heavy federal spending in Mis-
sissippi.
If the anticipated S. million sur
plus does materialize, there will still
be a $32 million deficit to which must
be added another SIS or SIC million
now being collected in new taxes levied
by the Barnett administration (which
will expire at the end of it) making
a total Of SAT to $54 million less the
new administration will have avail
able in comparison with the Barnett
regime
In fact, the new Mississippi COVER
nor hi 1864 viii inherit a $50 million
headache just to keep our present
state program going.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Leper Coins

The small island Of Culion,
one Of the more than 1000
comprising the Philippines, is
located in the China Sea. 1t
was on this island that a COL
ony for patients with leprosy
was established in 1906.
For reasons of health the
decision was made that the
leper colony should have a
separate coinage which would
not circulate elsewhere in the
Philippines.
The first issue. Of alumni
mum, was produced by a pri-
vate firm, Frank & Co. of
Manila. A supplementary is
sue, also in aluminium, was
struck in 1920 at the newly
reopened Manila mint, which
produced all subsequent Gu
lion coins.
A third issue appeared in
1922, this time made of cop
