A True Light On Finances (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3) tlon from 1895 to 1910: and during that period of sixteen years, the state house Republicans called tor advance pavments from the counties to the general fund to meet current ext»’ns«>* of the state, the sum of $15.408.840.0.. During the same period when the,, were In full and complete control, they transferred from the benevolent Institution tax fund to the general fund, the sum of $11,574,984.30. Thus th? state bouse Republicans were forever postponing the day of settlement and now they cry Democratic defl elency” in order to detract attention from their wilful neglect to remedy the conditions their profligacy create 1. The State Boatd of Finance bor rowed in September. $46i>,000 for the •ntrpose of meeting the deficiency on account of the obligations of the benevolent and educational institutions at the close of the fiscal year. $60,000 of this loan was paid tn a short time and the balance was paid on the 31st of December. 1913. and on the 2d day of January the sum of $400,000 was borrowed to be paid June 30, 1914, for the purpose of paying the maintenance obligations of the benevolent and educational Institutions, as the tax for their support made by the legislature of 1913 will not become available in full until the semi annual settlement | In June. 1914. and it will be necessary to borrow further sums to meet th>’ monthly maintenance obligations of these institutions for th* reason that from January to June 1914. no money ! will be paid into the state treasury for their support, except the small i . and insufficient monthly remittances i from the counties. l»o not be unnec- ■ essarily alarmed if you hear of an- 1 other temporary loan being made to take care of the inherited Republican deficiency. it Is believed that after the next semiannual settlement there will be no further embarrassment in taking care of the unfortunate wards of the, state housed in the benevolent insti- j tutions. and the emhftfous boys and j girls of Indiana who attend the State j Educational Institutions, as the revenue derived from this new tax will be sufficient to meet all the demands of these institutions. The authority for tnakinr this tem porary loan was given the State Board ©r Finance by the Legislature of 1913. as it was known long in advance that there would be a deficiency at the close of the fiscal year in 1913. In fact for years past. Immediately upon the adjournment of the legislature, it was known two rears in advance when the deficiency would occur, and it ai wavs arrived on schedule time. The tax levy for the payment of the i general expenses of the State was reduced from nine (9) cents to seven (7» cents, or a saving of $370,000 per year, by the 1913 legislature. The statement of thfk fact alone without any further comment should set nt rest forever the charge that the last legislature is rvs;ionslble for the shortage in revenue on account of in crease tn salaries. The truth of th* whole matter Is that the Increase in official salaries was a mere baeatelle amounting to about $15,0<-0. Our great common school system owe. its existence to Democratic legislation. Practical education of the children cl the State has always been the policy of the Democratic party. The last lexislatiire nearly solidly Democratic, enacted the Voca tlonai Education tax. and levied a tax of one (11 cent tn put the law into operation. A member of President Wilson's cabinet has declared the In dlana law to be the best in the I'nfted States on the subject of Vocational Education The Democratic party of Indiana by the enactment of this real' progressive law quickly responded to - the nerds of the people. There Is no denying the fact that gthe increase in the pout o f government In Indiana and in every county an! city of the state is due to the In creased functions of government. Th< ' people everywhere, in the Nation and! the State, are drum, ding tIMH th. State shall undertake to do evei I thing that is good for the people with I out counting the cost.
