RESULT OF I EGISLATIVE
EVASION
The calibre of the last legis
lature is well shown in the bal
ance of the Territorial Treasury
Recent statement by Treasurer
Walstein G. Smith shows a bal -
ance on June 30th, of $663,847.74.
The cost of Territorial govern
ment operations is $80,000 per
month. With appropriations to
be made, yet, from the treasury,
there is every indication that
local school boards will be rath
er hard hit to meet expenses by
the first of the year. The Ter
ritory can not borrow any mon
ey as may a State and there is
a question as to whether or not,
money coming into the treasury,
not accounted for to the last le
gislature may be used before the
next year.
Those politicians who would
save the country from raids on
the treasury, themselves have
depleted the treasury without
providing for future revenue.
A real bright bunch of law mak -
ers, don’tcher know. This wiJl
be more emphasized when the
incorporated towns must meet
bills which the Territory shares
a part of.
