Probably the second most
important problem to con-

will be the financial condi-

occur if present expenditures
legally provided are con-

I have always maintained
that fiscal responsibility is
an absolute prerequisite Of
stable and progressive govern
ment, state or national. We
cannot spend more than our
income and avoid inevitable
economic disaster. In this
