MACON, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 1908 DAILY, »7.DO A YEAR. NEW LEGISLATURE FACES PROBLEM OF AN $800,800 TREASURY DEFICIT WITH STATE’S REVENUE SLASHED Last Session Was a Most Ex pensive One in Every Sense COST FOR THE 1908 TERM The Investigation Commission Spent $3,500 and Bills are 8till Coming In —While Being Most Expensive in Direct Outlay, it Was the Costliest Legislature in Another Way tliat the State Has Known Since Civil War- Prohibition Bill and Convict Law Slaughtered State’s Income. ATLANTA. Oa„ Nov. 13—(Telegraph Bureau, Kimball House)—'The appro priation of 33.000 provided by the last legislature for the expense of the spe cial commltte# Investigation into the state penitentiary system has been ex hausted, and bills aggregating sev eral hundred dollars are unpaid. It Is not Improbable that the cost of the legislative Inquiry will reach 33,500. State officials are in a quandary as to how to meet the hills now unpaid. The only way they can be paid Is from the governor's contingent fund, and the right to meet them in this way is questioned by \some. The -attorney general has been asked for an opinion ns to wWthcr the fund can be so em ployed. If he holds that it cannot be used for paying the claims, the wit nesses and others holding the bllla will have to watt the meeting of the next legislature. Capt. Coombes Has Claim. One of the latest claims to be tiled comes from Supt. A. B. Coombes. of the state farm, and Is for 379. which he says represents the expense incur red by himself and clerk in • coming to Atlanta to appear before tho In vestigating committee. The bill has been referred to Senator T. 8. Felder, of Macon, who was chairman of the special committee: The cost of the Investigation Is part of the cost of the legislature for the present year, and with that for the extraordinary session <)f that 4 body makes the present year perhaps the costliest in the matter of legislation the state has over known. Will Run Beyond $100,000. The regular session required an pense of 370.000. and it took nearly 340.000 of state funds to bring the law makers back here and keep them about a month-ter'extra session. Then the expenso of the convict inquiry added, runs to the total cost ef the legisla ture's output for the year 1908 be yond $100,000. Not since the present constitution was adopted, has the people of Geor gia paid so much for a single crop of new laws, and should the experience ever be repealed biennial, or maybe quadrennial, sessions of the law-mak ing body may be demanded by the people. Expensive in Two Way*. While being the most expensive in direct outlay for legislation, the re cent legislature was otherwise the costliest—In another sense—than the state has known since the Civil War. By means of the prohibition bill and the new convict law. the state's rev enues have been reduced about 3500,- 000; while by new and increased ap propriations Its expenses have been enhanced more than 1300.000. There fore, tho first work of the now legis lature will probably consist in finding some way of getting the $300,000 or greatef deficit which the state treasury ... ... — when the next see datl: that United States Senator Whyte and other close personal friends of the late poet Have defrayed the exponies of publishing a memorial edition of Mr. Randall's poems, the profits going to his •iHute. and of how a painting of tho de ceased is soon to be unveiled at Anna- >Us. The morning session was taken up in large pan by the reading of historical re ports from the various states represented. Atlanta's Bond Istut. ATLANTA. Ga.. Nov 13.—Technical flaws recently discovered probably mean that the $1,500,000 contemplated bond is sue which 1ms been a constant subject of discussion for the past several months will not be made until after tho next meeting of the legislature.

In the primary market for dry good©/ merchants arc operat ing on a more liberal scale than at any time elnce a year apd a half ago. Cotton mills are rapidly resuming but accept business only where the raw cotton Is controlled and an assured basis of profit can be established. Some prices have already advanced and others are contemplated. Export •business continues restricted, foreign buyers considering the higher values as excessive. While clothiers, trades men have ascertained the trend of de mand there Is still an inclination to proceed cautiously In placing orders for duplicate lines of spring woolen**, so as to be prepared for the normal quantity of -cancellations.

Saw Some Clothes', Anyway. Even though nothing else hud been accomplished by hln 3.000-mile trip, Austin is way ahead of the game. She Whs seen the real thing in clothes. A carload of brilliantly colored fash ion plates would haVe had loss effect in the sartorial uplifting of the men of Austin than did the appearance of H. Clay Pierce on’ the streets of Austin. Fresh from the hands of his tailors in N»*w York, he dawned upon. the southewstrn olty like a dazzling au-.. rora borealis, the colors of hln spec trum ranging from the red of his socks, through the orange of his vest to the. softly shaded violet of his tlr. % 1 It had been widely heralded .that Mr. Pierce would bo arrested as soon as he rcaehed Austin. If not sootier. But nothing of the sort happened. , Sheriff Matthews took one look nt tho distinguished visitor and then hur. rled home to change his clothes. "Gee,” he said.
