FIFTY MILLION DEFICIT FACED IN SOUTHEAST 8 States, From Virginia to Louisiana, Suffer from Dwindling Revenues. The southeastern states share the economic woes of the nation. But they are *nln* about the business of pulling out of the predicament with optimism j and faith In the bright future of Dixie. This installment of a series tells what Is being done befuw >! Mason-Dixon line ta combat governmental extravagance. BY FOSTER EATON, United Press Staff Correspondent. (Copyright. 1932. bv United Pressi ATLANTA, Jan. 28.—Governmental economy in the southeastern tier of states, from Virginia to Louisiana, is being undertaken in the historic spirit of reconstruction days. A combined deficit of more than $50,000,000 confronts the administrations of eight states, while a ninth, Virginia, is out of the red. Drastically reduced revenues and legislative extravagance of other years produced the situation which has slowed up the machinery of government and forced a general ' ccounting. In every state programs have been launched to meet the immediate emergency in such a way as to insure a sound foundation for the future. Budgets have been curtailed sharply, governmental “frills” slashed,, salaries reduced, pay rolls pruned. “Pay as you go” is the watchword. Georgia, with an inherited deficit of $5,000,000, has taken the most drastic action and its sponsors, from Governor Richard B. Russell Jr. on down, believe it worthy of emulation by all other states. Georgia Calls a Halt Under a law enacted at the last legislative session, it will be impossible for the state to legislate itself into debt beyond its assured capacity to pay. Means to wipe Out the existing deficit over a period of years have been worked out. Appropriations, under anew budget bureau, are $3,000,000 below last bear. ' The situation in other states: Virginia—Without a deficit, the Old Dominion’s assembly convened Jan. 13 and, on suggestion of Governor John Garland Pollard, the senate voted a 10 per cent reduction in members’ salaries. Similar action by the house is expected. Governor Pollard voluntarily submited to a similar reduction and has recommended that public school teachers’ salaries be reduced. North Carolina—“ Cost of government must be reduced and the budget balanced," said Governor O. Max Gardner, who, with other state officials, is effecting a 30 per cent reduction in budget expenses. Some salary reductions and personnel elimination have been effected. Florida Diverts Funds South Carolina —With a deficit of approximately $5,000,000, Governor I. C. Blackwood has asked the legislature to enact a two-mill tax on property and an increase of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline. The appropriations bill slashes salaries of state employes, while an additional saving of $2,000,000 is planned through curtailed expenditures and elimination of departmental activities. Florida—Despite a deficit, Governor Doyle E. Carlton believes additional revenue will be unnecessary, particularly because of savings effected by centralized buying and economies in state departments. The last legislature reduced the state mileage from 14 to 4.5, provided for an extra cent tax on gasoline and other new taxation. Last fall, $300,000 was diverted from the road department to the general fund, and a similar amount is expected to be diverted during the next three months from the gasoline tax. Alabama Far in Red Alabama A special state audit places Alabama’s deficit at approximately s2o,ooo,ooo—the highest in the southeast —as a result of which Governor Benjamin Meek Miller plans this spring to call a special session of the legislature to wipe it out through a state income tax and a 2-cent increase in the gasoline Tax, an indicated revenue source of $4,500,000, Governor Miller also is demand-

SHAWN SAYS WORLD IS OUT OF RHYTHM Famous Dancer Will Be at English’s Saturday Matinee and Night With His Company of Ten. •nnHE world is out of rhythm!” says Ted Shawn. Recognized as AmerJL lea’s foremost dancer and one of the founders of Denishawn, the greatest single force in the dance world of today, Shawn speaks with authority when he presents his answer to the universal question of what is wrong with the world. "Constant changes, sudden shifts of creed and belief, have produced in the nations a sort of spiritual dizziness. The world is out of step with itself. We have been so busy acting that we have no time for thinking, so busy reaching that we have no time for growing,” he contends.

The arts alone can save us, he goes on to explain. “Economics and i science will continue to fail us unless we balance them with the inner development of literature, music and the dance. We must become in- | habitants of our minds, self-suffl- | cient and strong with the inner I strength. When a man’s internal rhythms are sound, he can withstand change and turmoil all about him.” It is this sense of inner completeness that has given Shawn the strength to tour America and Europe as he has done for years, and to keep up the level of artistic quality w'hich has made him the greatest repeat attraction in the dance world. Shawn and his company of ten dancers will be at English’s Saturday afternoon and night in association with Martens concerts. a u a GERMAN TALKER NOW AT THE CIRCLE The Circle today offers an alltalking German production titled “Der Liebesexpress” (The Love Express.) This picture is the first of its kind to be shown in de luxe theaters of this city. “Der Liebesexpress” recently finished a long run in the Chicago Loop and w'as acclaimed by critics there as being the most easily understood and enjoyed by nonGerman audiences of the German productions shown to date. Its story has a plot which is said to offer pictorial possibilities. It is trfN; account of a young working girl’s trip to Venice on money she has won in a typewriting speed contest. Her thirst for travel has been stimulated by the fact that she is employed in a travel bureau. The prize she wins is more than enough for her expenses and she decides to take a companion, a man secretary, to act as her escort and interpreter. She advertises for this man, and complications arise when her ad is answered by a rich young nobleman with a taste for adventure, rather ing drastic reduction in expenditures and flotation of a bond issue of $30,000,000 to retire the deficit, which is expected to reach that amount by the end of the fiscal year. Expenses of the state exceed revenues by $4,000,000 annually. Tennessee—With a deficit of $6,000,000, Tennessee balanced its budget in December, 1931, through an increase in the gasoline tax, an in-tra-state levy and a busy levy with a $2 identification tag tax on automobilies. Salaries in all state departments have been slashed and personnel reduced. Mississippi Beginning the year with a deficit of $11,000,000, Mississippi is launched on a program of speedy restoration of credit through governmental reorganization and reduced expenditures. Governor Martin Sennet (Mike) Conner is sponsoring the program. Louisiana Louisiana has taken no steps to enforce an economy program. Huey P. Long, recently Governor, was an advocate of “free spending” to restore , prosperity. Louisiana is building hundreds of miles of paved and improved highways. , Arrangements for construction of a $19,000,000 bridge across the Mississippi at New Orleans, which would put 1,000 men to work, have been completed. Anew state capital at Baton Rouge, to cost $5,000,000, is nearing completion. The state has a paper deficit of $8,000,000. P’ewer than thirty banks have closed in Louisiana in ten years.
