V Raleigh, June 4.—Although there will be a surplus or “ceredit balance” k in the state treasury of .$1,700,000 on Juue HO, at the close of the present i biennium, according to the latest es ! foliates of the Budget Bureau, it will ’( require virtually every cent of this ;j surplus, as well as all the revenue J that will be derived / from taxation Pi during (he next two fiscal years to I: make the budget balance on June 30, 1929. j The reason for this, according to j I Governor McLean, is that the 1927 ij General Assembly not only increased j its appropriations considerably beyond ,I the amount recommended by the Bud jjget Commission, but at the same time i decreased taxes or failed to make j certain levies as recommended by the budget commission, with the result that it will take virtually all of the $1,700,000 surplus to make the. bud ; get come out even by June 30. 1929. ■ Thus, while the total revenue of i the state for the current biennium ! will have exceeded expenditures by j nearly $2,000,000. this amount will j be carried over into the next bien nium, during which the exjienditureH I will considerably exceed the actual ■ revenue collected. ; In fact, the only reason it was j possible for the recent general as j senibly to increase the educational equalization fund from its present figure to $3,250,000, was because of , the credit balance already on hand, [at that time estimated at $1,293,000, | and it decided at that time to convert j the surplus or, credit balance into | “‘estimated revenue’’ instead.

Baraca-Philathea In Session At Mt. Airy. Mount Airy, June 2. —The delegates to (he Baraca-Philathea convention are arriving in large numbers by every train as well as by- bus and private ca^s. About a hundred had registered an hour before the first service, rep resentatives being here from every section of the state, the extreme east and west being well represented. pensions for confederate soldiers and widows. Consequently, during the next bien nium. (he state will be able to ex pend more than it will receive in revenue, and without incurring deficit. If the revenue during the next two years comes ftp to the estimates of the budget bureau, there is a possi bility that a credit balance of some thing like $200,000 may be left: but if (he revenue falls short, then there is the possibility of merely breaking even. And if the revenue should fall much short of the estimate, there would he the jmssibility of a small deficit. However, if revenue collec tions maintain anything like their present average, this is exceedingly unlikely. ““The idea has gained prevalence in some quarters," Governor Mclvenn said in discussing the credit balance, “that this large sum is being kept on hand in the treasury, and that it should be distributed in such a man ner as t»* bring about a reduction in taxes. But In reality, it is being us ed at present to anticipate tax col lections, and to prevent the necessity of borrowing. But eventually, it will have the same effect as a reduction of taxes, since if it were not on hand, it would have been necessary to have increased taxes considerably beyond their present point, in order to have found sufficient revenue to meet the appropriations authorized by the last general assembly. And without it, the large increases made in the pen sions and equalization fund would have been impossible. Thus, indi rectly, the people of the state will bene fit by escaping any increase iii taxes, and in the case of the equalization fund, will really have their taxes re duced."

Dr. John B.

And remember that lack of honesty, lack of courtesy awtrpf industry has lost thany a job. Honesty is the best policy.” Industry is rapidly pushing to the fore in the South, he said, and pointed out that as the shoe industry moves westward the cotton, iron and coal industries are fast moving southward. “The South is fast becoming indus trialized,” he declared, “you are by birth and temperament adopted to the carrying on of this work. “Will you train yourselves to direct the forward-going • movement in this ! virgin field, or shall we import men and women to do it?- “If we do so, you’ll be their ser vants.” Dr. Clark pointed out the numerous .phases of business for which Southern youth may prepare — banking, account ing, advertising, business management, insurance investment, transportation, marketing, journalism, salesmanship ami dozens of others. | “A jieople without basic knowledge of business is living in the dark ages, he said, “the same as in the days of alchemy.
