STATE HEADED FOR “IN DEBT” COLUMN ! At Present Rate Indiana Will Be. In Debt by $4,897,693 by Next Year is Claim. I ' INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — State [spending at its present and prospecj tive rate will run the state general fund into debt by §4,897,603 by; next ' year. * This is the conclusion of William Cosgrove, chief of the State Board lof Accounts, whose study of state [ finances was submitted to Governor Paul V. McNutt some weeks ago, but [ not made public. The general fund is the one that Governor McNutt and his publicity i bureau has described as offering “the most opportunity for extravagance and the best chance to save.” In early August. Governor McNutt returned from a trip to California to find on his desk a report complied by [ the chief of the State Board of Accounts on the financial condition of the present administration. In doing this Mi Cosurwe. a McNutt appointtee. was merely following the established practice of the board of accounts in rendering the state’s chief [executive an annual report on the i state’s financial position. Report Not Published. When the Governor received the report he promised he would “study it and make a statement within-48 Ihougs.” That ended the CosgrOve report so far as the public was. concerned. The Governor has not made ! his promised statement. The figures ! were not published.’ ' I How ever, one of the'few copies in existence has been obtained and the financial picture of the McNutt administration is revealed, by the fblI low ing figures from the Cosgrove report: . State General Fund — Balance July 1, 1933 Receipts, including balance ... 21,772,020 Disbursements 26,669,623 DEFICIT 4.897,603 With a deficit of almost §5,000,000 staring it in the face, the McNutt administration is in a financial situation without parallel in the history of the state. This huge deficit is expectaccrue during the current fiscal year which began July I, 1033, and ends June 3", 1934; , What is causing it? Valuations are ; down for one thing, but scarcely less than in 1932. Isn’t it true that the state general fund due to several new tax laws enacted under the present administration that the general fund now has new sources of revenue not enjoyed by past ad&iriistration? Property assessments in 1932 amounted to §3,994,597,946. .According to Cosgrove, 1933 assessments will amount to $3,900,000,000. The

I last installment of 1932 taxes produced $1,091,553, including £oll taxes. With assessments for the entire state lower only 594,000,000, the sum col--1 lected from 1933 taxes should not de- ! crease noticably. Two Classes of Revenue. I Revenue going into the general ! fund falls into two classes. From » ? : fees and special taxes, according to Cosgrove, the state may expect $16,750,000. Os this sum, 512,000,000 is derived from the new McNutt gross sales and income tax which is classed as a special tax. . \ Property taxes furnish the second; major portion of the money supplied the general Tund. The state levied 15 cents against property in 1933 due to “ the enactment of the SI. 50 levy limitation law’ under the Leslie administration. Although there has been much talk of fax reduction on property by the present administration, Gov. McNutt has already announced htere will be no reduction in the 15-cent state levy against property in 1934 despite the additional burden created by the new sales and income tax and a dozen bther levies' which he sponsored through the Ist legislature. As for theheneralf fuhd itself, in 1933 it of the 15 cent lexy. This year its share will be increased to 4.65 cents, the Governor; has announced, due to the completion of the Clark Memorial at Vincennes which necessiated a levy of 15 mills. Instead of discontinuing - this levy, McNutt will retain it to the dwindling general fund. With the 1934 tax rates highe.r in virtually all units in the state and with the Second quarterly installment of the gross income tax now due, the state administration is resorting to misrepresentation to lead the public to believe that the new tax has already reduced property taxes.
