The News is somewhat disgusted with the Republican financial record. It finds now that there has been “wise management”, and that the state will be compelled to borrow money —i. e ask for advance payments of taxes—to meet its current expenses. It says: “The real cash balance in the treasury last October was only $60,000. If the >IOO,OOO, over and above what has been qpid out, had been expended on the Industrial School for Girls, the State’s resources would have been more exhausted. There will be in the treasury, Jan. 1, $500,000. But during Jaunary, Februay and March $500,000 will be required to meet the bills of the State institutions and the salaries of the State officers. On top of these is the |l2o,ooo’for the expenses of the legislature. So a cal] will have to be sent out fori advance payments anticipating the June revenue.” But, furthermore, it seems to adopt the suggestion made t>y a member of the legislative commission, that the state sinking fund be diverted from its purpose and used to replenish the general fund. It says: “It is suggested that the legislature might provide that the proceeds of the three-cent sinking fund levy shall for the next four or five years go to replenishing the general fund and to provide necessary improvements to state institutions and new institutions when needed. This seems no more than fair. For the general fund has been used as a sinking fund and it might be well to use the sinking fund as a general fund for the next two years. One thing is certain, however, and that is the legislature will have to practice the utmost economy, and economy is no bad thing. Possibly if the usual waste is reduced to a minimum away may be found to meet the more important of the state’s needs, even under the present embarrassing conditions. ” —Sentinel. The Fort Wayne Commercial club banquet to the legislative statesmen is jiortrayed as being a worthy event. The toasts wree plenty and as usual good. Senator John W. Tyndall of this city, was a legislative guest. Adams county will’: have two members of the legislature this time, a senator and representative. This luxury has not been afforded us since the days of Senator Hale, who in the sessions of ISs; sy represented the joint dstriot of Adams, Jay and Blackford. Senator Tyndall and Representative Vizzard will in the coming session prove solid and substnatial members, although politically, they will belong to a minority that is few in number.
