Sumter —Up-to-date theatre be- (The Charleston Evening Post.) Governor Richards sets forth, with some heat, that the deficit in the state’s finances, which is ack nowledged, is none of his doing, ' but that, on the contrary, he has §» actually reduced a large inherited deficit. Both the comptroller gen eral and the secretary of the bud get commission testify to the gov- ‘ajz ernor’s contention, ife, They make out a very good case, iff' and it is not unlikely tliat they are jpg right. At the same time, it is more pj? than probable that other analysis |<F of the public finances could show that there has been an increase in the deficit. The issue is not of the first im portance, for, as far as the taxpay ers are concerned, they will have to pay off the score whether it was run up by Governor Richards or by his predecessors. And it is only talking in convenient terms to speak of the deficit being caused by one governor or another. The governor can encourage and pro mote economy, but he does not make the appropriation bills. The important point is that there is still a considerate deficit, whether it is greater or less than it was three years ago, and that to, the reduction of this the Gen eral Assembly should address it self with diligence and courage. Governor Richards has been op posed to extravagance and has done a good deal toward keeping down expenditures, but there is much more yet to be done, and it is of more consequence that he de vote himself toward holding down expenses of the state government and expenditures for various pub lic projects during the final year of his term, upon which he has now entered, than that he demon strate by figures at the present time that he is no wastrel of the public resources. ' It is certainly true that there came over from a preceding period into the Richards adminsitration a deficit of something like half a million dollars in the school funds, and it is in this sphere that there is needed constantly the influence and even the antagonism of a strong and clear-thinking execu tive. That there has been extrav agance in the school expenditures there is little room to doubt. It is altogether plausible to believe that there is still much waste and much useless expenditure in the school administration than there should be . The governor cannot altogether prevent extravagance on the part of the legislature. But he can hold the spotlight on the leaking parts of the fiscal structure, while the open seams are being sealed up. txt SHERIFF’S SALE TAX EXECUTION W. T.

(From The Asheville Citizen.) In his statement issued Sunday on the prohibition situation, Bish op Cannon seems to recognize that the problem confronting the gov ernment has grown very much more serious ove rthe past year. “We positively insist,” he says, “that when men openly flaunt their determination to violate any law of our country the government must suppress anarchy and com pel absolute obedience to the law regardless of cost.” Insisting that appropriations for prohibition enforcement have never been adequate and that they must be made adequate, no mat ter how many millions of dollars are required, the bishop is quoted as contending that the issue is no longer that of enforcing prohibi tion but has become one of main taining constitutional government. “Rebels against constitutional gov ernment,” it is declared, “must be treated as rebels and be made to understand that even though they do not like the prohibition law they can not defy the government of the United States.” That is one way of putting the case. However, it is put it is ; evident that the problem is stead ily becoming graver. Bishop Can non says that the reason this is the case is that “the liquor traffic and its slaves have risen up in murderous rebellion against the determination of the president and i of ‘dry’ leaders in Congress to en force prohibition.” txt TAX EXECUTION W.
