Bf St L. ttMpaum Raleigh, May 11.?Qovernor Mc Lean's announced determination to hold expenses of the State within Us income was demonstrated in a practi cal manner last week when he Issued a statement to all department heads regarding trimming their budgets. The Governor was on solid ground tor he spoke facts. Outlining to each de partment and Institution the allow ances made for their support during the year, the Governor called atten tion to the fact that the State's in come was falling .behind anticipated ccllectlons and that, as director of the budget, it was necessary to ex ercise the power vested in him to make the expenditures square with the income. His announcement means that unless income of the state shows a large increase, and this is unlikely, the amount allowed each department i and Institution will be cut approxl-! mately seven percent, for the fiscal 'year from July 1, 1925, to July 1, 1926.

The Raleigh police started a drive against vice during the week when a list of the women engaged in Immoral practices was obtained and they were j told to "get out."
