EXPENSES INCREASING Coming Year's Outlay in State Put at $155,000,000 ; Income $139,471,650 Albany.-New York state is drift- ing dangerously near the' rocks of financial embarrassment. Unless some: Llilng is done to check the steadily rising cost of government the state, mccording to some of the observers here who have looked into the mat- ter, within-the next year or two will bave its cash balance wiped out and will be compelled to adopt a hand-to- mouth policy. 'This observation Is based on'a study of appropriation bills passed by the 1923 Legislature and of estimated incomes and cash surplus for the next fiscal year, which starts on July 1. The expenses to be pledged by the state for the coming fiscal year are the largest on record. Appropriation | bills passed by the recent Legislature: total $166,188,018. Of this sum $144, 890,620 has already been pledged, as Governor Bmith has signed. appropri- ation bills totaling that amount. He has pending before him money spend- ing measures carrying $11,747,390. Persons conversant with the state's fiscal affairs assert that a conserfa- tive estimate of the sum to be al lowed by the governor will be about $10,000,000, thus leaving approximate- ly $155,000,000 as the net total ex- penditure for the coming year. fl‘hls amount is bigher by $18,000,000 than the éxpenditures for 192223. Democrats claim that the upward ewing in money demands upon the state is due to the methods of econ- omy practiced by the Miller adminis- tration, while Republicans, on the other hand, insist that If the Smith regime had pursued the polities laid down by Governor Miller the expend: itures would have been considerably reduced. It was found netessary this year to increase the direct state tax to two mills so as to obtain additional rove- nue. Even this increase would not have been sufficient were it not for r reduction of $600,000 in the sums needed for state debt service and an increase of $797,819,000 in local as- sessments on propertics upon which the direct state tax is levied. This assessment increase is due to the strained circumstances In whigh most localities in the state are~ finding themselves owing to post-war condi- tions. They found it necessary to raise assessment values in order to get sumclegt local revenues. The state Income tax also has alded to- wards this, because the increments pald localities are based on the pro rate of assessed valuations. Must Draw From Savings Even with the $600,000 reductiop in debt service, the Increase In the di- rect tex rate and the increase In as- sesged valuations, there would not have been enough money from cur rent revenues to let the state run along on a pay-as-yougo basis. The total revenues for the coming year are estimated at $139,471,650. Of this amount $32,471,000 will be raised through the direct tax. The remain- der, $106,999,000, will be collected from various sources, such as corpo- ration, income, inhoritance, stock transfer, mortgage, motion picture, boxing exhibitions, automobile If censes and other taxes. It will be necessary for the state in order that It may come out even at the close of the next fecal year to dig Into Its $85,647,000 savings fund to the extent of $16,000,000. This would leave a balance of only about $19,000,000, whigh, if the pres: ent trend of things continue, would probably be wiped out by demands made during the 192425 fiscal year, During the last decade the cost of government has Increased by leaps and bounds from year to year, with only isolated instances where it went down one year only to jump upward the next. The total appropriations ten years ago were $47,895,000. Five years ago they were $95,840,000. Now they stand on the threshold of $155, 000,000. What they will be next year or year after no one can say, but It seems a safe guess to predict that they will not be any less so long as the present disjointed system of financial respon- sibility continues. One of the most conspicuous reasons for the absence of real economy ls that responsibility is so easily passed along. A governor may shift the blame for extravagance upon the Legislature, and the Legis lature may put the blame on the gov- ernor, end so on, back and forth. Pro- ponents of Governor Smith's plan for an executive budget system maintain that it offers the only feasible solu- tion of the problem. There would then be a centralization of respons bility as well as of control. The governor and not 201 members of the Legislature would be held ac- countable for every penny expended by the state and thus also for every tex imposed. The average senator or assemblyman apparently is more In- terested In expenditure than In in- come. He wants appropriations for indertakings which would solldify rim with his constituents, Bills Already Signed at Albany The $14,380,000 appropriation bills already signed by the governor in- slude the annual budget of $111411, 300 and the following major bills: Soldiers' relief, $1,000,000; state fair grounds at Syracuse, $570,000; Naw York-New Jersey vehicular tunnel, $2,000,000; for slaughtered tubercular cattle, $5,000,000 (a larga share of this amount covers deficiencies); barge canal terminals, $1,300,000; Kings Park Haspital for the Insana, $1,500,000; highway construction, §21, 060,000; for fighting \gypsy moth,\ $150,000; increased activities fn the Labor Department, $150,000; bridge improvements, $60,000, and for Ne- toral Guard camp, $135,000.

Gen. Charles W. Berry to be major general in command of the New York State National Guard, to succeed Mu- jor Gen, John F. O'Ryan, retired. By command of Governor Smith, Gen. Charles W. Berry Issued an or- der placing Major Gen, John F. O'Ry- an, head of the New York National Guard, on this reserve list. | The order terminates 26 years of active service in the guard and na- tional army, during the last 11 years of which General O'Ryan commanded the guard at home, on the Mexican border and overseas. ° With its Issuance guard offfcers throughout the state began to specu- late on tha identity of the successor to Genoral Berry, who is slated to suc- ceed General O'Ryan. In this connection it was pointed out that, although Brig. Gen. George R. Dyer of New York has been promi- mently mentioned for adjutant gen- eral, it is improbable he would accept because of private Interests, General Dyer is a millionaire. The names of some candidates who were acdvely seeking the position last fall before General Berry's ap- pointment was announced were re- called by national guardsmen. It was said Lieut. Col. Edward Mc- Leer, Jr., now adjutant of the Twenty- seventh Division and a Brooklyn Dem- ocrat, is again a candidate. Colonel McLeer is widely known in Albany, having commanded a battal ion of the First cavalry, which In- cluded \B\ troop, on the Mexican bor- der in 1916, He served on headquar- ters' staff of the Twenty-seventh divi- sion overseas. Retirement of General O'Ryan as division commander is believed to be the first of many changes scheduled for the New York National Guard. When appointed to the New York city transit commission two years ago by Governor Miller at a salary of $15,- 800 a year General O'Ryan was grant- ed a six months' leave of absence from his military duties. This leave was extended from time to time as required until recently, when Gover- nor Smith is said to have objected. Notification was given General O'Ry- an that he must concentrate on oither bis military or transit position. The salary of division commander is $8, 000 a year. Request to be placed on the reserve list followed. General Borry's appointment as his successor, It is balleveq, will presage important changes that will be felt throughout the guard. Road Repair Measure The Dpwning $1,000,000 emergency appropfiation bill for the repair of damage done to the state highways by the severe winter was signed by Sovernor Smith. The bill states that, owing to severe winter conditions, the highways have been so \that unusual re- pairs are Immediately necessary to save the state's investment In such high ways.\ Col. Frederick Stuart Greene, state highway commissioner, Issued a state- ment announcing that millions of dol- lars' worrth of highway contracts had been abandoned because contractors were unwilling to attempt the work with the present scarcity of labor, freight embargoes and scarcity of ma- terials, § ee Bible Thoughts for the Week Sunday.

The Binghamton Sun eays: On Mon- day officers raided Leon Finch's farm near Sayre. Nine barrels of cider, hidden in a ravine about 30 rade from the farmhouse, a keg of applejack and a two-gallon jug alleged to con- tain white mule, were found by the officers. - They obtained samples of the liquor and then opened them and allowed the remainder of the rontent to run away. The presence of the cider in the ravine was evidently known to neighbors of the Finch family, as there was a trail worn down the bank, and while the officers were engaged in destroying the liquid two men arrived and showed every evi- dence of disappointment when they saw what was happening to the bever- age. Dexd Infant Found on State Highway. District Attorney Truesdell, of Nor- wich, is investigating the death of an infant, whose body was found in the state highway near Sherburne, by a farmer who was going after his cows.

Jones, of Norwich, who after three seasons on the stage con- cluded she did not like it, bids fair to gain fame and fortune in the sale of her ''Mary Evelyn cakes.\ She moved to a quaint, old-fashioned boarding house in New York city, and painted candy and cake boxes. She received $7,500 for one year's work. Through a personal interview she interested John Wanamaker in the sale of her 'Mary Evelyn cakes by relating how Lucias Boomer, head of the Waldorf-Astoria and McAlpine and Sherry Candy Shops saw her boxes and asked to see the girl who painted them. She told of her plan for an at- tractive, palatable, popular priced cake to fill the boxes. Mr. Scomer began. the manufacture of the cakes. She visited Mr. Wanamaker because while there was a limited sale to tea rooms for cakes at $3.50 apiece she wanted to sell a great many more and at a reasonable price. So Mr. Wana: maker laurched the sale of the Mary Evelyn dollar erke. It sold readily, not only in New York city, but in other cities, and is gaining an even widening popularity. And the maker is reaping a golden royalty. Norwich Girl Killed. 'Miss Lillian Brookins, 17 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis C. Brookins, of Norwich, died in the West Side hospital in Scranton from injuries sustained when the automo- bile in which she was nding with- Wal- ter Strong, of Norwich, and John Norkus, of Bridgeport, Conn., plunged ver an embankment on the Lacka- wanna trail near Nicholson, The ac- cident happened about 9 o'clock at night and Miss Brookins was injured internally, dying a few minutes after being taken to the hospital.

Prime has served jail sentences and District Attorney Truesdell started proceedings some time. ago which re- sulted in the closing edict Similar proceedings have been started against Bowers Bros., of the Continental hotel of Norwich. Tobacco Juice Routs Bull. Near Kingston on Friday last, Frank Dobert and Barry Wingle while work- ing in the woods were attacked by a bull. 'The men hastily ciimhed a tree, thinking the animal would soon leave, but the bull kept them treed nearly an hour. Finally Dobert suggested ing tobacco Juice in the animal's eyes. After several wild shota Dobert scored a bullseye, which started the animal at top speed toward the mountrins. The men then descended and resumed work.
