eral fund will be about $24,- l“
500,009 in the “red” by the end
of the current biennium. This
estimate, of course, supports the
demand which has been the gov-
ernor’s stibboleth since the day
|pe took office—“more taxes.”
The only exception has been the
brief period of a few months in
1936, when he was seeking re-
election. Then he said no new or
increased taxes would be neces-
sary.
All authorities agree that the
school fund, with money in sight
to pay a $22 per capita apportion-
ment, and the largest appropria-
tions in history for rural aid, is
in the best shape in history. The
highway department, likewise, has
a substantial cash balance on
hand, and sufficient funds allo-
cated to carry on its extensive
commitments for both federally
aided and state highway projects
for the next two years. The Con-
federate pension fund, of course,
is deeply in the “red,” but it is
limited by constitutional require-
ments, and is gradually working
itself out.

General Fund Problem
That leaves the genera., 'and
as a source of worry for f’.e leg-
islature. One of the last fiscal
experts in Texas, whose past rec
ord stands up remarkably in con-
trast to those of the political
estimators who have an ax to
grind, has compiled a careful
study of the general fund situa-
tion, which this column believes
to be reliable. At least, it is a
vdisappionate study of the actual
figures, without any political pur-
pose to serve.
This authority estimates the
general fund deficit, at the close
of this biennium, after paying the
$22,999,990 hike in appropriations
which the regular session of the
45th legislature so generously
dealt out, will be $14,909,900.
Two alternatives are suggested
by this expert. He points out
that the general fund is now pay
ing out approximately $5,900,000
per biennium on the “bread
bonds,” issued for relief purpos-
es during the depth of the de-
pression, and that this entire
$20,000,000 bend issue will be re
tired within five years after the
end of the current biennium. If
taxes are raised now, he points
out, it is exteremely unlikely that
they will be lowered again when
the general fund is relieved of
the bond payment burden. There-
fore, he suggests letting the def«
icit ‘ride” as a brake on future
expenditures.

That epitomizes the response of!I
former Governor Ro-S Sterling of {I

It must have been at about iheU

V. Allred in Austin was telling
newsmen he intends to ask t he I
privilqre of remaining president legislature for new taxes to raise
for life.

State Debt Is Low
It has been frequently pointed
out that Texas follows a policy
of paying for all capital expendi-
tures out of its general fund.
This policy of financial perman’
from
has resulted in
debt of the state gov
Texas of $3.26
purposes,
and none for state highway pur-
poses, whereas in Arkansas, the
net state per capita debt is
$82.36, while the per capita high
way debt totals another $70.94.
In Louisiana the per capita state
debt is $51.49, and the highway
debt $4,0.52 per capita. Over
half the states in the union have
a state per capita debt of $20 or
more, while only 15 states have
avoided highway debts.
The policy of paying cash for
ffepianent improvements may be
livery good one, but in Texas it
has given polticians the excuse
continuously to increase taxes. ______
Thus, if the state decides to build ,
a hospital, for instance, at a cost
of $2,000,000, the legislature oo^ooq ,
makes the apporpriation from fho)Thpv ,
general fund, which becomes
overdrawn to that extent. Then cja] security taxes during
the polticians raise a hue and |
cry to “wipe out the deficit’’ by of
upping taexs. When it is wiped
oat, the next legislature, seeing
that the state is on a cash basis
once more, becomes liberal with the people can pay. Many believe
appropriations, and another def-1 that limit is rapidly being ap-
■ feU anguaa. Than the cry goes np|proaehed.
