That there should be no undue alarm
over exaggerated statements concern-
ing the deficit in the state treasury,
is the opinion of Prof. S M N. Mrrs,
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion.
“All warrants issued prior to June 9
are now on a cash basis.” said Marr
"The income from the general revenue
for ad valorem tax alone for the cur-
rent year is approximately $10,000,000,
aside from the funds, from. other
sources. It is easy to see. that state
warrants drawn on the general reve-
nue issued between now and March 1
will be on a deficiency basis not more
than six months and do not justify an
excessive rate of discount."
“The schools are not to blame for
the present deficit in the state treas-
ury," 'rontimued the state superintend-
ent. “The constitution requires the
state to maintain the public schools
for six months, and the local tax au-
thorized is for further mainteance of
schools and the equipment of school
buildings It is as much a function
of the state government to maintain
the public schools for six months as
to maintain the stat? deportments in
th? capitol and it may as well be
claimed that the appropriation for
their support has caused the deficit'as
to claim that the deficit has been
caused by the school appropriations.
“I do not hear any complaint from
the rural school tea. he r- who in most
counties. have been discounting their
vouchers each year during the past
forty years. They have become accus-
tomed to it."
Superintendent Marrs reiterated that
he had sta’fed more than thirty days
ago that he had no intention of asking
for a transfer of the emergency school
appropriation until next spring, when
there would be ample cash in the state
treasury
